There is only One Firm in the World—“ Wilsons ’ ”—possessing- over sixty Exclusive Designs in Table Damask by Waller Crane, Lewis F. Day. R. Anning Bell &c.

Wilsons’ Damask is 44 Woven Worth,” fully justifying the Firm’s registered trademark "Heirloom" and their century-old reputation.
The value in Linen Damask is not easily judged by the uninitiated, who are frequently misled by a high finish; but the relation of price to quality in Wilsons’ Damask will surprise Connoisseurs, as the beauty of the Designs will delight them.
