The Illustration but Faintly Portrays the Beauty of 

 the Spoons. 



The handle of each spoon is embellished with the 

 head of President Jefferson, a French and an Ameri- 

 can flag and other cabalistic designs commemorative 

 of the Louisiana Purchase. 



In the bowl of each spoon is embossed a reproduc- 

 tion of one of the principal exposition buildings. Each 

 spoon shows a different building, viz.: Electricity, 

 Mines and Metallurgy, Liberal Arts, Machinery, Horti- 

 cultural and the United States Government Buildings. 



The workmanship on these spoons and materials 

 used are vouched for by one of the largest manufactur- 

 ing silversmiths in the United States. 



The Historic Value of the Spoons. 



The great Louisiana Purchase Exposition, the most 

 stupendous collection of the works of modern man 

 and the relics of his savage ancestors is a thing of the 

 past — the glories of the Exposition but a memory.
