Rose Valley Shops 
Moylan, Pennsylvania 
HE Rose Valley Association is a chartered organization holding 
lands, buildings and water power at Moylan, Delaware County, 
Pennsylvania, created for the purpose of encouraging the pro¬ 
duction of articles involving artistic handicraft. 
The Seal of the Association is a buckled belt (a symbol of unity and brotherhood), 
encircling a wild rose with the letter V on the face of its petals. The design of this seal will be 
stamped upon all products of the Rose Valley Shops as a mark of identity and as a guarantee 
of honest construction. 
The products of the various shops which it is proposed shall be operated at Rose Valley will be 
those used in the complete fitting and furnishing of houses and gardens. 
A portion of the mill is now being operated by a company of craftsmen as a shop for the making 
of furniture and in their products they are carrying out the fundamental idea of the Association 
by making only such furniture as is of correct design and construction. The above illustration shows 
two of the first products of this shop. 
Examples of furniture from Rose Valley Shops may be seen at the Chapman Decoration 
Company's showrooms 1417 Chestnut St., Philadelphia.
