R. Wallace & Sons Mfg. Co. Distributes Christmas Shopping List Compiled by Prominent Interior Decorator

A booklet which should make the lot of the Christmas shopper an easier one is being issued to the trade for distribution to shoppers by the R. Wallace & Sons Mfg. Co., silversmith, Wallingford, Conn. It was written by Miss Dorothy Ethel Walsh, well known New York city interior decorator, and is entitled “A noted interior decorator goes shopping for you.”

Miss Walsh recently visited the Wallace factory and gathered there material on the various decorative possibilities of Wallace silver. She has incorporated her observations in the small folder, telling how to select the right piece of silver to accent the lines of a mantel, the type of piece to beautify a dresser, and other authentic suggestions on the place of ornamental silverware in the home. The Wallace concern is distributing the booklets to the trade with the dealers' own imprint and is certain that Miss Walsh's expert advice will be helpful in the choosing of appropriate Christmas gifts.

The prisoner confessed to the theft. A jewel case stolen from the C. F.
