These vases were designed especially for this Association by The S. A. Weller Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The basic color is sofe bule in a dull satin finish, handsomely hand-embossed with the fleur-de-lis. One may have a selection of two varieties in the flower-all blue and natural. By "all blue" we mean that the entire decoration is in two shades of blue. By "natural" we mean that the stem and leaves are green and the blossoms two shades of blue with a yellow center. The bowl is undecorated and is all blue. As gifts this pottery cannot be equalled for Christmas, birthdays, ,showers, wed dings, prizes, initiations and graduations. Number 63 is already beautifying many chapter houses. A pair of bowls filled with ivy makes an attractive decoration for the shelf or mantel. Number 42 is suitable for desk or boudoir lamps. A pair of number 56 may be used as twin reading lamps. Number 63 may be converted into a large table lamp or adornment for grand pianos and chests. The book-ends are a strictly new item, and delightful in their modernistic design, and even blue tone. The Indianapolis Alumnre Association is selling these vases to meet an Endowment pledge of $1,000. Boost the Endowment!
