This pattern is the most beautiful de- sign that has been pro- duced in silverware for many years, and...will un- doubtedly be the most - popular. See it in our - window this week --- we have in stock a complete line of teaspoons, knives & forks and odd pieces of "Argosy". To Clean Four', Silverware We suggest the new "Tarnoff Plate". When the Chemical Plate is placed in a basin of water all you need to do is put in your silver pieces that are tarnished and in a moment the tallnish is re- moved. Then dry the silver with a soft cloth. We have "Tarnoff Plate" in small size at 50c. There is enough in this size to do all the silver that is clean- ed in the average home for 2 years or longer, We also have Ideal Sil- ver cream at 25c the bot- tle; and -Heirloom Plate Silver Cream at 35c the bottle.
