1962 Text: Heirloom Treasure
“We are very happy to be able to present to you this entirely new line of ornaments, which have designed with artistry and restrained good taste. You will find careful workmanship, immaculate detailing, and protective packaging; in short, an ornament which you will be proud to display on your cake creation. (Coats on grooms are available in either black or white, so please let us know which you prefer) all bases are plain white discs set on four heart-bell arrangements. Very different!” |
