Sterling Silver
Spoons and Forks

EVERY latitude for the exercise of personal
taste is afforded by the remarkable number
OF patterns exhibited by The Gorham Company.
They include rich designs after the various
French Italian and English periods. Patterns
of simpler character are shown in Colonial style
now so popular. In addition, there are many
distinctly modern designs, some strictly conven-
tional and others to which rare charm has been
given by floral adaptations.
Considering that additional pieces in any of
these patterns can always be secured, and that
even the smallest piece typifes hawess work
manship, the advantages of buying Gorhan
silver are obvious.
