A Quaker Shaker Set

Illustrated herewith is the Quaker shaker set which has been installed in the dining car service of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad (Burlington Route) over its entire system of 9,400 miles. Each piece carries an imprint of the familiar Burlington trade mark which not only identifies the article with the road and is valuable as an unobstrusive advertisement, but has the further advantage of discouraging their appropriation by enthusiastic souvenir collector. The Quaker shaker sets are manufactured by the Quaker Silver Co. of Attleboro, Mass., which specializes in salt and pepper sets in silver plate.



Speaking of the adoption of these by the Burlington Route, Harold K. Green, president of the Quaker Silver Co., stated that they realized they were confronted with an unusual set of conditions, chief among which were the possibility of not too careful handling by a wide variety of users and the probability of rough usage in the cleansing processes.

“We were easily convinced that in one way and another, dining car tableware is subject to considerable punishment,” said Mr. Green, “and consequently were correspondingly gratified by the railroad’s conclusion that our product would measure up to the exacting requirements and by the officials’ decision to place these sets in all the dining cars over their system.”

BELLE KOGAN DESIGNS EXHIBITED

The exhibit of industrial designs by Belle Kogan which opened April 8 at the Philadelphia Art Alliance, Philadelphia, will continue through May 17. A grouping of a few of Miss Kogan’s designs in silver, one of the first mediums in which she worked and still one of her favorites, is on display, while in other sections her creations in ceramics, glass, wood and plastics were shown. This variety of products is shown in photographic reproduction as well as in comprehensive displays of the items in the process of production. Silverware and pottery in particular are highlighted with detailed examples showing the entire process from drawing board to finished article.

Belle Kogan began her work in silver in 1929, and she is recognized today as one of the outstanding designers of sterling. Examples of her work in both flat silver and hollowware are included in the exhibit, each giving evidence of her primary principle of design—that of blended decorative and functional values. Among them are items designed for the Quaker Silver Co., Inc., and she has also created designs for the Reed and Barton Co., and the Kirk Silver Co.

Miss Kogan, who is former chairman of the New York Chapter of the American Designers Institute, has written several articles on silver production for Jewelers' Circular-Keystone.
