Bookbinding by American Woman Exhibited at Fair San Francisco W Mrs. Florence Walter, one of the three American bookbinders whose work will be shown at the Brussels Fair, spends about three months on each volume she binds. Mrs. Walter is a widow in her 70's. She took up book binding 20 years ago and has earned national renown for her fine work. She is "not a hobbyist, not an amateur" she says. For her professional work she receives about S350 a volume. "I never work on a book which isn't, in itself, a truly good thing, with fine paper and good examples of the printing art," she said. "Bookbinding is becoming a lost art. It saddens me to see no young people going into it. But then I suppose it isn't lucrative." She said that the feeling of achievement that comes when she has completed a beautiful book is "wonderfully reward ing."

Legacy takes inspiration freely from history's heritage of beauty, combining old and new, light and dark, a bit of beauty here, a rhythmic curve there in a process of careful, selective blending, so that in the end something exciting has been created and new beauty has been added to the world by using the old. Come see Legacy. You'll like the magnificent fabrics used on the sofas and chairs . . . the new, light walnut finish which must be seen and touched and contrasted with the brilliant black of polished ebony . . . the exquisite crotch walnut accents on the doors . . . come see the pale gleam of andque brass soft. as a flute note, and the delightful variations each separate piece plays on the basic design theme. We've pictured only a few of the pieces. We have Legacy dining tables topped with ebony, chairs, with cane or ebony backs, luxurious sofas and chairs . . . pieces for every room in your home, designed to go together, and all surprisingly modest in price. , ' Depot) MAIL Gershun TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Sunday, April 20. 195! 7A Of MARTINSVILLE
