SOLID STERLING SILVER.
Attractive Designs Which Appeal te
all Seeking the Best Ware.

Solid sterling silver is admittedly
the most popular and best materla
ever devised by man for use in TIT
manufacture of fine table ware, wheI
urttractiveness, style and real service
is to be considered.
To the artist, silver has always
been the ture interpreting medium for
the imagination, which has been pro-
ductive of much that is really, choice
in table ware. Especially is this true
Of the smaller pieces of silver, such
as spoons, forks and knives, which
are constantly in service and multi
piled by their wide demand arc often
badly designed and chcaply gotten
up by the manufactures and the mar
kets flooded with the articles.
To collect real artistically designed
table ware is always a most satisfy
ing achievement, and every home
should be careful, in purchasing such
articles TO assure themselves that
what they buy will serve to dress up
their dining tables in keeping with
refined and correct usage.
American pride Of ancestry has
been in evidence now for over Il cen.
tury, and to the purchaser Of silver
ware for the table, quality should be
the first consideration, for TO one
wishes to be the owner of spoons and
forks Of such poor quality that a few
years of use will show such wear thai
the silver must shame the hostess
when placed before guests at the
liable. Really the only kind to buy is
;;he sort that will last through the
;ears to come, so that one hundred
years hence the table silver as q fam
lily heirloom will far surpass its first
purchase price in value.
We are all familiar with that tru-
ism which says that to buy the best is
always the cheapest for "qualitj is
