Something New
In Dinner Sets
We have just received two dinner sets, which in
design and shapes of pieces are distinctly new
These are Johnson Bros. "Pareek' Ware, made
in England. Against a cream background, a con-
ventionalized "fruit and basket" design stands
out very richly. This is the "Sole Mio" design
The - "Miami" design is a conventionalized floral
pattern, with a pretty brown border, also on a
rich cream background, Casseroles and bowls in
both designs have the decoration both inside and
outside. Both sets are open stock, and are excep-
tionally good value at -
$40.00 for the complete set
The "Sole Mio" design set is on display this week
in our lower south window.
