The U. S. Government 
Uses the McCRAY 
After the most thorough tests 
the U. S. Government experts 
selected the McCRAY for use in 
the House and Senate Restau¬ 
rants in the Capitol—the Pure 
Food Testing Laboratories -— 
U. S. Commissaries, Forts, Hos¬ 
pitals, Cantonments, Naval Sta¬ 
tions, Base Hospitals, Quarter¬ 
master's Department and on 
many of the American Battle 
Ships. 
Sanitary Refrigerators 
have been recognized throughout the 
world for over thirty years as the 
standard of quality. There are many 
cheaper refrigerators—but they are 
also less efficient than the McCRAY. 
Wherever economy—quality and effi¬ 
ciency are demanded, McCRAY Sani¬ 
tary Refrigerators are used. 
McCRAY Refrigerators are made 
in a great variety of stock sizes, 
equipped for either ice or mechanical 
refrigeration—ranging in price from 
$40.00 up. Special sizes are built to 
order for unusual requirements or to 
match the interior finish. Any 
McCRAY can be arranged for out¬ 
side icing. Write for catalog.

Cottage Ornaments — A Revived Fad 
(Continued from page 80) 
man with a scythe and a woman with a 
barrel. These were used as a pair and 
were marked figures. In the Faulkner 
and Sidebotham collection there is a very 
remarkable toby still in existence by the 
same designer showing a gentleman 
seated holding in his left hand upon his 
knee a jug and in his right a pipe. There 
is a curious arrangement of a cartouche 
forming the side of the seat and upon it 
is inscribed “It is all out, then fill him 
again.” 
One finds among the earlier Stafford¬ 
shire work a figure of Falstaff drawing 
his sword. This has also been repre¬ 
sented in Crown Derby, a very beautiful 
piece in the Art Museum in Boston. It 
is highly colored and remarkable for the 
gracefulness of design. Exceedingly good 
in modeling and coloring was a small 
figure of a girl with a white cap, holding 
a basket of fruit. Another of these 
pieces is formed like an elephant, though 
it is in reality a jug with a castle on its 
back in which is seated a monkey, form¬ 
ing the knob of the cover. For the 
handle of the jug two serpents inter¬ 
twine. The general treatment is exceed¬ 
ingly fine and of a character suggesting 
Oriental work. 
In the early figures of this make we 
find they were colored in under-glaze 
pigment, the prevailing hues being man¬ 
ganese copper, green, yellowish orange, 
brown and black. Sometimes, however, 
these colors were varied by mixing two 
or three together and producing a most 
satisfactory low-toned color effect. 
Drinking cups might be classed with 
the cottage ornaments. They were of 
various sizes, some shaped like the heads 
of smiling satyrs bearded and garlanded 
with vines. These cups bear a strong 
family likeness and while they vary in 
minor details yet they were evidently 
inspired by the same classic original of 
bronze. 
Classifications 
Staffordshire might be considered to 
be divided into three periods: the first, 
the slip and agate figures; second, de¬ 
signs differing from the earliest and 
most interesting ones; third, the work 
of rustics for rustics. During the sec¬ 
ond period the originality of conception 
disappeared and reproductions of the 
existing work were shown. The color¬ 
ing was also different, enamel taking the 
place of the more satisfactory under¬ 
glaze. While tliis period shows a de¬ 
cline in the mantel and chimney orna¬ 
ments, some of the pieces are very inter¬ 
esting and valuable because of the skill 
displayed in their modeling, which was 
sometimes remarkable. 
We find bear jugs in brown, black and 
white which were used in country inns 
and beer houses during the 18th Century. 
The brown variety came from Notting¬ 
ham, but the white and colored were 
made in Staffordshire. The jug showed 
a bear seated on his haunches with col¬ 
lar and muzzle attached to a chain. The 
head was removable, forming a cup to 
drink from. 
.4 method of displaying a cottage figure collection is on the 
top shelves of a glass front secretary . Lee Porter, decorator 
camp and bungalow is the Rowe Glouces¬ 
ter Bed Hammock. An essential article of 
summer furniture that is always in de¬ 
mand and that lends beauty and inviting 
comfort to porch or piazza. A Rowe has 
distinctive lines of individuality and all¬ 
quality construction that appeals and 
wears. The Hammock that pleases. Big 
and roomy enough to stretch full length, 
a perfect hed couch adapted for out-door 
service. 
Made by old Gloucester sailmakers from 
genuine non-fadable 21 oz. khaki that will 
not crock or mildew—a popular shade, always 
in style and that blends and harmonizes with 
every background and out-door furnishing 
Costs a few dollars more but gives ten times 
the service of the one-season hammocks. 
The only hammock you can afford to buy.
