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." Chapter Will Honor

designed by Merton L
the beauties of ancient cultures are refined, distilled ...
and fused into this magnificent new contemporary design . . .
pieces for every room, coordinated in walnut and pecan
Our new Legacy group represent an original theory in furniture design . . . the theory is that
true beauty belongs not to a design period, a fad or a fashion, but to the ages. 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. , '
