Sculptured, hand-painted plates of fine 
porcelain have become a collecting tradi- 
tion, mainly because of the Hummel series 
from Germany which portrays the children 
of the Alps at play. 
Now to honor our own American children, 
Franklin Porcelain. America’s foremost 
creator of collector plates, has created our 
oun new series of collector plates, “The 
Cobblestone Kids.” And we are pleased to 
announce the very first issue. 
She’s Making Friends. And she’s charming. 
She’s patting the cute little bunnies who 
hungrily eye the nice fat carrots she carries 
in her basket. Her rosy complexion and 
adorable golden curls make her one of the 
most delightful young ladies you’re likely to 
meet anywhere. And you’ll find her only on 
this beautiful new porcelain plate designed 
exclusively for Franklin Porcelain by Debbie 
Bell Jarratt. an artist with extraordinary 
ability to capture all the wonder and inno- 
cence of a child’s world. 
To further enhance this delightful plate. 
Making Friends is being crafted in three dimen- 
sions. with the design sculptured in all its rich 
detail, then hand-painted in 13 different col- 
ors, so that each plate is a completely sepa- 
rate and unique work of art. And despite the 
fact that new issues of Hummel plates are 
selling today for approximately $100, you 
may enter your order for Making Friends at 
the unusually attractive price of just $55. 
payable in two monthly installments of 
$27.50 each. 
The all-important first issue — available

In the established tradition of outstanding

Significantly, too. Making Friends is the

traving the children of early America. And
