This Indestructible 

 Window Box for $5.00 



TT is made from a firm textured, extremely tough Pompeian Stone, in either 

 J- terra cotta color or the natural soft toned grey. 



From the illustration you can scareelj' get 'but an idea of its attractiveness 

 — gracefully modelled in bas-relief as it is, with sea lions and cherubs at play. 



Being 8 inches wide, 8 deep and 24 long, you see it is just the right size to 

 be suitable for almost any window, porch or step sides. This is one of our 

 regular $10.00 boxes, and the special $5.00 offer holds good only till August 

 first. Boxes are crated with great care for shipment. The price is f. o. b. 

 cash with order. 



Our supply is not large so it will not be well to put off ordering. 



P. S. You might also like to know that we are makers 

 of all kinds of Stone Garden Furniture.
