LINEN WITH A SIGNATURE 
F Cellini made a vase, it bore his mark; Rembrandt’s paintings carry 
his signature. Instinctively we look for the Sterling symbol on 
silver, the carat stamp on gold, the watermark on handmade 
paper. Look also for the Fleur-de-Lis emblem and the legend Irish 
Hand Woven Linen Damask in the margin of the tablecloths and napkins 
you purchase, because the linen handcraftsmen of Ireland today “sign” their 
masterpieces, too, as a proof of their genuineness and supreme excellence 
and as a testimonial of their pride in having perpetuated an industry that 
had as its first patron Egypt’s first Pharaoh 3600 years ago.

Unfading Beauty, Unchanging Strength 
The beautiful color and figure so admired in 
American Walnut are in the wood itself. Hence 
it does not suffer from dents and scratches as 
do artificially colored woods. While real Wal¬ 
nut never becomes warped or rickety because 
of its remarkable stability. 
First-time buyers of walnut furniture usually 
over-estimate its cost—naturally associating 
the finest with the costliest. American Walnut, 
good for generations, is economical at any 
price. But, as the above illustration shows, can 
be had for less than most people expect.
