It has been truly said, '' It is a matter for national pride that the stamp of an American house is acknowledged a sure guarantee of sterling purity." That cer- tainly means much, when all English silverware must have the government stamp, or hall-mark, to insure the same. In presenting this book of "Suggestions" the Gorham Company hope that it will be found helpful as a guide to selecting articles suitable for presents for all occasions. For convenient reference the various articles are enumerated and alphabetically arranged in a general list, and classified as follows : Articles for breakfast and tea tables Jewelry and articles for Articles for dinner and dessert tables personal adornment Articles for library and Leather goods writing tables Loving cups and prizes Articles for the work basket Mounted glassware Buffet furnishings Presents for children Candelabra and candlesticks Silver models for the cabinet (toys) Chafing dishes and furnishings Smokers' articles College and university shields Souvenir spoons Cutlery Toilet articles Flat silverware for table use Umbrellas and parasols The book is not a price list. It outlines simply a stock ever changing and growing in variety. The Gorham Company will be glad to supplement it by furnishing detailed information regarding any particular article, accompanied by illustrations and prices of all the styles in which the goods are made. Special attention is given to engraving coats of arms, crests, inscriptions, monograms, ornamental lettering, and all other work of the engraver. In the Order and Repair Department particular care is given to the carrying out of customers' instruc- tions articles of silver and jewelry can ; and ofttimes be made as good as new.
