Florist Ribbon 
Michell’s Offering of 
New Patterns of Metalline 
These five new patterns are of the latest de- 
sign and entirely different, as well as popular - 
priced. 
Pattern 1950. Width 150 
A three-striped Metalline of fine weave, the 
stripes being satin finish and the spaces be- 
tween of a dull rayon which makes the design 
outstanding. The finish is of good texture 
permitting the ribbon to be made into a very 
nice bow that will hold its shape. We recom- 
mend this pattern for cheaper work, especial- 
ly designs for your popular-priced funeral 
work. Price, $1.60; 12-piece lots, $1.50 per 
piece. 
Pattern 1941. Width 150 
An exceptionally heavy quality of woven 
material very suitable for the better grade of 
funeral work. Each edge has over 1 inch of 
taffeta weave, and the wide center is of a 
pebble-weave effect with ample space for 
lettering. This item is manufactured pur- 
posely for good work and makes a very beau- 
tiful bow that will stand out. It is not water- 
proof but has proved water-repellent and can 
sustain the elements, which would make it 
suitable for door-crapes as well as funeral 
work. We highly recommend this pattern as 
it makes a much nicer bow than satin ribbons. 
Price, $3.00; 12-piece lots, $2.75 per piece. 
These patterns are put up 40 yards to a 
piece and are made in the following colors: 
White Orchid Yellow Ophelia

At the time this Catalog goes to 
press, the Ribbon situation is very 
critical and it seems to be getting 
worse all the time. However, the 
manufacturer has advised us that he 
will try to furnish patterns listed here 
if it is humanly possible, or give us 
a substitute similar to the pattern 
ordered. But we cannot promise that 
we will be able to fill your order, for 
the amount of Ribbon we are receiving 
today is very small in proportion to 
our order.
