1&4T KOGERS BROS SILVER- PLATE THAT WEARS 1 No. 3050. SILK COVERED CASE. For some time there has been a demand for something not so costly as our oak or mahogany chests of silver and yet more elaborate than our combination sets in lined boxes. Our new case, which is reproduced in the illustration, we believe will supply this long-felt want. It is silk covered, a rich dark green in color and very handsome. It is appropriately lined and contains twenty-six pieces — six of our No. 12 solid steel knives, six medium forks, six table spoons, six tea spoons, butter knife and sugar shell, listing complete for $21.50. The jeweler who carries a complete line of "1847 Rogers Bros." silver ware will desire a number of these cases, while the small dealer who has not found it advisable to carry our chests in stock may find in them a satisfactory compromise. Beauty is one of the essentials of silverware. Silver must have something more than use- fulness to recommend it; it must attract. But it must do more than that. It must invite a close examination of the details of its design. Silver that bears the trade-mark, " 1847 Rogers Bros.", looks well on the counter of the dealer and welcomes critical inspection. Supplied to retailers by all leading jobbers
