only by superior stores of the Olds, Wortman & King class. Orders may be given for sets, or parts of
sets, or any combination desired, and any piece can be replaced at any time by the factory. A grand
chance for the lover of the exclusive and the connoisseur to select. An exhibit of art in beautiful
Haviland ware of a superior make over the ordinary, and charming decorative work, worth coming
