At first glance they look alike. 
The outside shape is very similar in hoth 
cases. 
But the inside? Ah! Now you’re coming 
to it. 
Inside there is a big difference indeed— 
all the difference between a Yale Lock and 
a lock that is not Yale. 
Without the name there would only be 
two ways of finding out. 
One would be to take the lock to pieces 
and look at its inside. The other would be 
by watching it at work, seeing how it stood 
up to every demand that a good lock is sup¬ 
posed to meet. Either way would satisfy 
you that Yale quality is very much of a 
reality. 
But you don’t have to do either of those 
things. 
When you buy a lock, 
there’s just one thing that you 
have to do to satisfy yourself 
that it’s the sort of lock you 
really want — see the name 
Yale on it. 
Without that name, a lock 
is not a Yale. But when that 
name is there you know that 
the inside of that lock has 
everything that makes a Yale 
Lock. 
And it’s the inside 
that counts.

wood design. Around the top is a 
sterling silver band. It is $7.50. 
(74) Pottery birds that are immensely 
decorative come in a variety of colors 
and can also be had in plain green or 
orange china. They are 8" high and 
range from $10 apiece, up. 
(75) The little drop-leaf table pic¬ 
tured is only 18" high. Painted in any 
color it is $24. Unpainted, $15. 
(76) I was on the lookout for un¬ 
usual gifts. I wanted attractive, out- 
of-the-way things that were not to be 
found in the ordinary shops. Fortu¬ 
nately I ran across exactly what I 
wanted in a shop that goes to Italy 
for its ideas as well as most of its mer¬ 
chandise. Here were Italian pottery 
candlesticks and comports in that soft 
cream colored glaze that is so difficult 
to imitate; flower holders, pitchers, jars 
and bowls in this ware, and also some 
effective heavy, orange-colored pottery 
made in North Carolina. But what in¬ 
terested me the most was the Italian 
gesso work. Many of the treasures of 
the Borghese palace and the Louvre have 
been reproduced in this gesso work, a 
composition, which is decorated by hand 
in soft, dull colors and antique gold. 
There were candlesticks and candelabra 
in various designs, mostly in old blue 
and gold coloring. These 
ranged from $8.50 to 
$18. There were also 
book-ends in classic de¬ 
sign at $12.50 and wall 
plaques from $6 to $18. 
But the things that at¬ 
tracted me the most 
were the boxes. Large 
boxes and small boxes 
for trinkets, cigarettes 
or bonbons, with de¬ 
signs taken from the paintings of An¬ 
drea del Sarto and Botticelli, or a girl’s 
head from the Museum of Milan, or the 
Three Graces, and many others. A box 
which could be used for stationery was 
in the shape of an old Italian coffer, in 
panelled design of heraldic beasts. This 
was $15. These boxes would make 
charming gifts and range in price from 
$4 up. 
In quite a different style were the 
painted tin articles also made by this 
firm. Here again were boxes of every 
shape and color, made of tin and gaily 
decorated with flowers or fruit. These 
were all prices and for all occasions. 
(77) Baskets are necessities as well as 
luxuries these days, and I found some 
especially lovely ones made by the blind 
They are all shapes and can be stained 
any desired color. One basket tray for 
fruit or flowers was flat, about 10" long 
with a handle. This was $2. Stained 
any color, $2.25. 
Under present market conditions we 
cannot guarantee that the prices of any 
of these things that we show from 
month to month will remain the same. 
Nor is it possible to insure the stock 
being sufficient to fill all orders, al¬ 
though we make every effort to select 
things of which there is a good supply. 
It is well known that 
stocks of many kinds 
are depleted and diffi¬ 
cult for the shops to 
replenish without con¬ 
siderable delay. 
Articles such as glass, 
furniture, etc., require 
special crating, for 
which an additional 
charge is necessarily 
made.
