"THE TOAST"
The Finest WoUen
Table Cloth
in the World

in the w OrLd
is now to be seen in a
window of the Store on
the Ninth Street side of
the New Building where
it is spread out in all its
dramatic beauty.
Woven in silk and linen in
1889 for the Paris exposA-
ton of that date by j. Case
and Son, of Paris, it repre-
sents the high-water mark
of artistry in table linen
weaving.
"Casse worked like an ar
tist and not like a business
man." says one who knew
him well. He made the fin
est table linens in the world.
Before the dissolution of his
firm, long since out of ex-
istence, a representative Of
the John Wanamaker Store
tried to buy this wonderful
damask of M. Casse. Always
he replied "It is not for
sale" or ~ should not know
what to ask you for it."
The mounting of the loom
alone cost over 10000
francs. Now, after many
years, it has come into our
hands by a strange turn of
circumstances. w It h o u t
hesitation we arc able to de-
clare it to be a masterpiece,
the greatest, finest-woven
table cloth linen which has
ever been made.
The Story it tells
The Table cloth--12 feet
inches wide by II feet inches
long In size--has background
of rich creamy white over which
n great pattern Is woven in
rare tone which is neither tan,
gray nor green, but n soft mix
ture OF all three colors.
The pattern shows a sump-
tuous sixteenth century dining
hall set for the feast. Grace
fully carved pillars suggest. the
architecture of the great hall.
Behind the table on the wall
hangs n great tapestry. whose
rich dark pattern Is clear in
| each detail. The table groaning
with yiands and bowls of fruit
and tall slender-stemmed wine
classes Is covered with O white
Cloth of elaborate design in
motifs of lace, exquisitely
wrought.
