University of California Berkeley MAIN OFFICE BUILDING OF THE FRANCIS E. LESTER COMPANY, MESILLA PARK, N. M. THIS is an uncommon catalogue. It is a catalogue devoted entirely to native handicraft. It is the representative to the great majority of our customers the sole representative of our business ; a business that is confined exclusively to the sale of Indian, Mexican and Japanese handicraft. Ours is not a "curio business" that term which covers a multitude of sins for the average curio busi- ness sells more imitation stuff than true handicraft. This matter of native handicraft is an extremely interesting one. The American Indian is a skilled crafts- man; far more so than many of his white brethren. For generations he has been making beautiful and useful articles for the home, but just because he is situated in the far West and the Southwest of our country his products have only become known in recent years. Similarly, the Mexican workers in certain lines of handicraft have ab- solutely no equal, and their linen drawn-work, filigree jewelry, hand-woven sombreros and carved leather work are models in finish and beauty. The Japanese have in recent years invaded the" field of native handicraft, and are now producing many products that are useful and ornamental. These various articles of handicraft that we offer are not simply luxuries. Some of them are almost necessities and many of them, when once seen and appreciated , are exceedingly popular. The genuine Indian blanket is rapidly coming into general favor as a necessary article of furnishing for the home, because of its wonderful dura- bility, and therefore economy, and because it is sanitary, reversible, easily cleaned and makes an ideal floor rug. This catalogue, then, presents to you our offerings in the various branches of native handicraft. It contains a great deal that can be used to make your home more beautiful and to bring into it with a charm that little else can equal the truest examples of handicraft from the intensely interesting craftsmen of our native people. The catalogue has been prepared with much care, and I hope it will merit a careful reading at your hands. I want my readers to feel that in every transaction that they may have with us they are guaranteed fair, square treatment. Six years ago one little room and one clerk took care of our business; now we have 150,000 customers, distributed throughout every continent in the world and every state in America; a large, well equip- ped office building and warehouses, and a force of 50 to 60 clerks during our winter season. Just one thing is responsible for this wonderful and rapid growth: the fact that all who have dealt with us have been given liberal, square treatment, and we have in turn been given their good -will and confidence as an aid in extending our business. A modern system and an adequate force of stenographers make it possible for me to personally keep in touch with a large proportion of our customers. I am more than glad to give my personal attention to either orders or correspondence that are addressed to me by any of our customers. Yours in the interest of genuine native handicraft, Introducing our Sixth Annual Catalogue. The Sign of Genuineness President Our Terms, Conditions and Guarantee Genuine Goods. We sell only genuine handicraft, no curio trash such as that which is found in most curio stores. This is important, especially in the matter of Mexican drawn-work and Indian blankets, of which the output of genuine goods is very limited and the cheap imitations numerous. Everything that we send out is warranted to be exactly as represented, and our trade-mark shown below is a guarantee of genuine- ness. If any further guarantee is wanted we are glad to furnish our written warranty upon request. LOW Prices. We buy our goods direct from the native workers, some of whom are in our direct employ. This makes it possible for us to eliminate the fancy profits usually charged for articles of this kind. We deliver our goods to our customers, charges prepaid, for, in some cases, half the prices charged by the retailer for the same article over the counter. We must ask our customers, however, in comparing prices, to bear in mind the fact that we sell only the best, believing, as we always have, that in the end, for our customers as well as ourselves, " the best is the cheapest." Everything Delivered Prepaid. We prepay all delivery charges on everything listed in this catalogue, unless distinctly stated otherwise. Our customers thus know exactly what an article will cost laid down at their doors. Cash With Order. Our terms are cash with order. We cannot afford to sell at the low prfqes that we quote and open credit accounts. We save the expense of keeping accounts, deducting it from the cost qf our goods to the customer. Goods on Approval. To responsible persons, giving satisfactory bank references, we will send goods on approval with the privilege of examination and return within three days from date of receipt, in good condition. In such cases the customer is to pay transportation charges both ways on all goods returned. C. O. D. Shipments. Any order will be sent by express C. O. D., delivery charges prepaid, upon receipt of one-third of the amount of the order, which will apply on account, the customer to pay all charges on the sh pment if goods are returned. ( Safe Delivery Guaranteed. We guarantee the safe delivery of any order amounting to $5.00 or more. Under that amount we do not guarantee against loss in the mails, unless the customer sends 8 cents to pay the cost of registration. In the case of fragile goods shipped by express, which may be broken upon delivery, we replace broken pieces at half price, providing claim is made to the transportation company promptly after discovery of the damage. *te Orders Filled Promptly. We fill all orders the same day received. This is an important consideration, especially during the busy holiday season. Guarantee. We guarantee everything we send out to be exactly as represented. Anything received by a customer which is not in every way satisfactory may be returned and we will promptly and gladly either ex- change the goods for others of equal value or refund to the customer the purchase price, less actual transporta- tion charges incurred. No article made to order especially for a customer is returnable. Our business now the largest of its kind has been built up on the policy of pleasing customers. We treat them as we ourselves like to be treated fairly, squarely and liberally. Orders by Telegraph. Prompt attention is given to all telegraphic orders, from responsible persons. These should be sent to our telegraphic address, Las Cruces, N. M., from which point messages are telephoned to our offices. Special Terms to Canadian Customers. We have a large business in Canada, with several thousand customers. We can ship Mexican drawn-work to Canada direct from our 'Mexico house, and thus save the import duties into the United States. We give our Canadian customers the benefit of this fact. On all orders for ship- ment to Canada amounting to $5.00 or more, and for Mexican drawn-work only, a customer is entitled to select additional articles of Mexican drawn-work to a value of 40% of the amount of the order. Thus if an order is sent us for $6.00 worth of Mexican drawn-work the customer may select additional Mexican drawn-work articles to a value of $2.40 without cost. This offer applies only to orders for Mexican drawn-work. Special Terms to Church Guilds and Women's Organizations. For six years past we have made a specialty of shipping goods on commission to responsible church and similar organizations for sale at fairs, bazaars, etc. With a desire to forward the interests of such worthy bodies, and inaporeciationof the advertising our goods thus receive, we offer special terms to such organizations, which will be gladly furnished on request.

Our Mexican Workers Drawing the Threads THERE are all kinds of Drawn-work nowadays, and the enterprising department store has done much to place on the market cheap and poor imitations from Japan and Europe. A piece of Mexican drawn-work placed by the side of these inferior imitations is itself an eloquent tribute to this beautiful handiwork of the Mexicans. Genuine Mexican drawn-work to-day stands at the head of all forms of art needlework, and in quality, service and durability it is far superior to any other kind of drawn-work produced. This being the case, Mexican drawn-work is, naturally, higher in price than Japanese or any imitation. And yet people never cease to wonder that it can be sold at such low prices. A doily, for example, such as we sell for thirty cents, contains more handiwork, all expended on a single piece of pure linen, than the ordinary woman could complete in a whole day of painstaking effort. Some of the centerpieces offered in this catalogue for less than $5.00 require more than two weeks of patient toil to make. The drawn-work women of Mexico never reap any great financial gain by their craft. Theirs is more a work of love and devotion to the craft than one of gain. An Art Centuries Old For centuries even since before the Moorish wars of six hundred years ago the art of needlework has been faithfully preserved from generation to generation by the Spaniards, and by them passed down to the Mexi- cans. To-day the art of drawn-work is taught in every Mexican family where there are daughters. Among the poorer classes, more particularly, it forms the greater part of a woman's education. It is taught in many of the schools, and in practically all the homes. It becomes the ambition of every Mexican girl to acquire that ability necessary for her to complete an elaborate design in drawn-work or to see her handiwork adorn the altar of her church, THE FRANCIS E. LESTER COMPANY The intensely religious feelings of the Mexicans are evidenced in the women's handiwork. Many of the designs they use in drawn-work are sym- bolical and inspired by religious teachings. One of the oldest, and at the same time one of the most beautiful and durable designs, is that called the "cross and crown," a design of purely religious origin, in which the pattern takes the form of a Maltese cross alternated with a crown of thorns. The dove, with outstretched wings, is another favorite pattern, and on the more elaborate pieces the Mexican eagle is worked. The worker also draws her inspiration from the flowers, the trees and the various forms of nature with which she is surrounded; even the forms of the snowflake are utilized. The "Margarita" daisy and the little "no me Divides" or forget-me-not de- signs the latter to be found in the finer thread wheels are illustrative of the numerous floral patterns in drawn-work. The poorer classes of Mexico contribute largely to the output of drawn-work. Many of these live on isolated ranches, often fifty miles or more distant from the nearest town. The head of a drawn-work establishment "farms out" her work; that is, she places the pieces of plain linen in the hands of the girl and women workers, who quite frequently make not more than two or three trips to their nearest town in a year. It is due to this fact that it becomes a ver" tedious and unsatisfactory undertaking to have any special patterns in Mexican drawn-work made to order. The Quality We Offer The quality of Mexican drawn-work varies greatly. It has been our pride ever since we started our business to select the Mexican drawn-work that we buy from our workers with as much care and thought as our most discriminating customers would give to the pieces if they were to select them in our store. We take no culls, and we warrant our work to be the very best produced by these wonderful women of Mexico. Worker-to-Customer Prices The very low prices named in this catalogue for our genuine Mexican Drawn-work are only made possible because we sell direct from the native worker to the customer. The usual process by which a piece of Mexi- can drawn-work reaches the customer is through the hands of an importer, a jobber, a wholesaler and a retailer. Each has his profit to make, and with each, if at all irresponsible, there is the temptation to substitute a cheap imitation; so that when the piece reaches the customer's hands it is sold for an exorbitant price. Our method is different. We pay our Mexican workers for the drawn- work they produce; pay all import duties into the United States; charge a low and very reasonable profit and deliver it direct to our customer's address, all charges prepaid. This is the secret of the ridiculously low prices we ask. Variable Designs Because Hand-Made As in all truly hand-made work, there is always some slight variation in the patterns of each individual piece of Mexican drawn-work. The illustrations shown in this catalogue are fair and typical representations of the various patterns, and whilst we will gladly especially select articles in sets to match for our customers, there is always the likelihood of some slight variation. The drawn-work articles listed in this catalogue are only a part of those we regularly carry in stock, as we constantly keep on hand a large assortment of special pieces. How to Wash Drawn-Work We have so many inquiries from our customers on how to wash drawn-work that we are pleased to give below instructions, which we have found to be reliable. There is a satisfaction in buying a good piece of drawn-work from the knowledge that it will stand frequent washing. At the same time, the process of laundering should be done carefully, for no matter how well made the piece may be, it will not stand the rough handling of an ordinary washtub. Never rub a piece of drawn-work when laundering. If it is a small piece, place it in something like a screwtop fruit-jar and shake it well. If a large piece, put it into a muslin bag and treat in the same manner. Do not wring it out or twist it roughly, but squeeze the surplus water out carefully. In drying, it is better to stretch the piece, if possible, on a frame. All the Mexican drawn-work we sell is laundered by the Mexican women workers after making, and dried by mount- ing and stretching in a frame, as shown on page 24 of this catalogue. If a frame is not to be had, sew the piece over some such article as a clean cushion that will serve as a stretcher until the piece is dry. It is important that the purest soap be used. No manufactured soap, however, is quite as good as the dried root of the soap-weed, which is used in the laundering of drawn-work by the Mexican women. We offer this dried root for this special work on page 47 of this catalogue. All prices in this Catalogue include delivery charges prepaid BRAZILIAN POINT THREAD WHEELS Genuine Hand-Made Brazilian Point Lace Linen Thread Wheels The wonderful Brazilian point wheels made by the Mexican women are still as popular as ever for use as lace trimming. They are adapted extensively for making baby caps, trimming waists, edging handkerchiefs, and other forms of needlework. The wheels here offered are made entirely by hand from an extra quality of pure linen thread. The size of the thread used in the ordinary quality of all the wheels except the 5-inch size is No. 70 ; in the sheer quality, it is No. 100. In the 5-inch wheels No. 60 thread is used. Our wheels are much finer than, and superior to, Teneriffe wheels. The illustrations here shown are only typical of the hundreds of different patterns in which these wheels are made by our workers. Do not order the small wheels in patterns shown in the larger sizes, for they cannot be so supplied. The illustration given above is from a photograph of a few only of the designs taken from our regular stocks, and shows wheels from 1 to 5 inches in diameter. We keep on hand at all times an immense stock of these wheels. We can usually match any pattern, and can supply the wheels either assorted or alike, at the following prices.

The offer has been received so enthusiastically by our customers that we here repeat it. The women workers in Mexico are in many re- spects a peculiar lot of people. In nothing is this more true than in the fact that better value can be procured from them in a centerpiece than in any other article containing no more work. Thus it comes about that . by taking very large quantities they make for us a drawn- work centerpiece 24 inches square, with three rows of work, which con tains about 2 yards of insertion 1>^ inches wide and over 3 yards of nar- row insertion about ^ inch wide. insertion as such.it would cost us double what this centerpiece does. For this reason we can make this most economical offer, consisting of the special centerpiece that we have made up exclusively for this offer and 2 yards of linen to match. This gives our customers in this offer enough material for making up the waist pattern as illustrated , at a cost of only $3.50 for this material. For large sizes we advise the purchase of a small extra quantity of linen; and this we will supply, if purchased with this offer, at a special price of only 60 cents a yard.

With the centerpiece we furnish one of the wooden frames used by our native Mexican women in doing- their work. The set is of much value to the dealer as a display piece, attracting as it always does much attention; and partic- ularly is it of value to anyone interested in learning the art of drawn-work. The frame, moreover, is valuable for mounting and drying any piece of Mexican drawn-work by being stretched after being laundered.

We do this after much hesitation, for in recent years so much inferior drawn-work has been produced by the Japanese for the purpose of catering to the cheapest department store trade in this country that the reputation of the best Japanese work has naturally suffered. However, through the efforts of our special representative we have secured a line of handiwork from a small number of the best Japanese workers. We offer their product on these pages for exactly what it is: a handsome line of genuine all hand-made Japan- ese drawn-work, including doilies and centerpieces worked on linen and of a very much superior grade to the cheap offerings of low priced department stores. At the same time we have based our prices on the lowest possible margin of profit. We feel, therefore, confident in commending this line to the attention of our customers as work which can hardly be equaled in value at the price.

Their handiwork in both gold and silver is one of the most dainty and uncommon forms of handicraft. Molten silver is first drawn out into fine wires no thicker than a thread, and this with wonderful skill is worked into many beautiful designs, entirely by hand. These designs are strengthened by a frame of solid silver placed on the back of the article, which gives strength to what would otherwise be delicate pieces; so that they are thus as durable as they are beautiful. On account of the work being entirely hand- made which we warrant we cannot always guarantee that the pieces shall exactly resemble the illustrations. These, however, are represen- tative of what we offer. The illustration is from a photograph, showing the articles much reduced in size. All articles on this page are solid silver. Additional silver filigree articles and solid gold filigree jewelry will be found on the next page.

All prices in this Catalogue include delivery charges prepaid SWASTIKA SILVERWARE 55 Hand-Made Swastika Silverware The popularity and significance of the Swastika, which has now come into general use as a design for jewelry, originated with the Navajo Indians of New Mexico. With these Indians, as with a few other native tribes, the Swas- tika has from time immemorial been accepted as a sign of good fortune. The design appears in many forms of Indian handicraft, including blankets, baskets, pottery and silverware, but much more in the last named form than in anything else. It represents to the Indians an omen of good fortune, insuring health and prosperity, and it is used extensively by them as an amulet and charm. The full significance of the Swastika symbol is ex- plained in our special circular, "The Swastika," sent free to any customer upon request. In this circular we ex- plain the history, origin and meaning of the symbol. In view of the fact that it originated with the Indians, we should like to suggest how much more in keeping with the significance of the emblem it is to wear nothing but the genuine hand-made solid silver Indian jewelry in Swastika design, instead of the cheap, plated, factory-made imita- tions which now flood the market. The articles offered on this page are all hand-hammered, the method used by the Navajo silversmiths for generations, and hand-figured in original Indian designs. All pieces here offered are in solid silver, warranted in every respect genuine, strong and serviceable.

It is not generally known that our Western and Southwestern States produce a large output of some of our best native gems. The finest turquoise in the world is mined in New Mexico, and in the same Territory many of the Navajo Indians gain a livelihood finding the beautiful gem known as the Navajo ruby or garnet, as well as the peridot, for which they find a ready market. Sapphires, tourmalines, sardonyx, jasper, agates and many other of our gems are found in our Western States. These facts ought to make it possible for the public to secure at far more moderate prices than they do a majority of our precious and semi-precious stones. But it seems to be understood that in the purchase of gems the public should be compelled to pay an exorbitant profit. We have never been able to see the reason for this condition, and within the past six months we have com- pleted all arrangements for the sale of absolutely genuine stones, sold by us practically direct from the first sources to the customer. This plan makes it possible for us to offer genuine gems at prices which are a great deal less than gems of the same quality can be purchased for in any jeweler's store. The reason for this is that we procure them directly from the first sources, have them cut by expert cutters, sell them direct to the customer and save the numerous profits which are usually paid by the public in the purchase of a gem. A Free Art Booklet in Colors It is not our purpose to explain here all the details of our offerings of gems. We have issued , an attractive booklet especially on this branch of our business. This booklet is entitled "Native Gems," and is an art production of 24 pages, containing four color plates illustrating a few of the gems we offer, in actual colors. This we believe to be the first successful effort to show in printed form the beauty and colors of cut and polished precious stones. The booklet gives full informa- tion regarding the source, history, meaning and price of the various gems offered. We list in these pages for the convenience of our customers a summary of our offerings of gems. We wish to emphasize the fact that every precious and semi-precious stone that we sell is warranted by us to be absolutely genuine, being furnished in a special wrapper under our definite warranty. Any stone purchased from us, if not satisfactory to the customer, may be returned under the liberal conditions named by us at the beginning of this catalogue. Gems Mounted to Order We desire to call especial attention to our offering of solid gold mounts, listed on page 68 of this catalogue. This makes it possible for our customers to purchase any article of solid gold jewelry in the designs offered, and have it mounted especially to order with any of t he gems that we Mexican Opal Grinder at Work sell. This is an advantage that we believe to be exclusive. Order everything by its catalogue number NATIVE GEMS ZKT5. 3Kis. (4KT5. SKis. I6KTS 7Kis. 8Kis IZKrs. l5K?s.

I do not mean something like an Indian's handiwork something turned out from a big New England factory. The Francis E. Lester Company believes in selling a thing for just what it is. I suppose that nothing has been so extensively imitated as Indian handiwork. Certainly no other line of handicraft has been so badly imitated with such a mass of trash and trinkets. Visit the average curio store and see for yourself the burned leather and wood rubbish unblushingly called "Indian handiwork." The Indian who would own to creating such stuff doesn't live. Indians are self-respecting beings. The best Indian will have nothing to do with imitation stuff. The Navajo works with no metal but pure silver. A Pima basket weaver never yet turned out a basket that would not last a life-time. We do not buy and we will not sell this "curio trash '' We would kick it out of the back door first. The Indian of the great Southwest is the original American craftsman. He was a skilled craftsman, patiently at work, generations before the present day appreciation of true handicraft was preached or thought of. Half the pleasure of owning a piece of Indian handicraft an Indian blanket, a piece of Indian pottery, a Navajo silver bracelet, a Pima or Apache basket is in knowing absolutely that it is genuine. There must be no question about it. Then, and only then, does it become a human document transplanted from the Indian's desert home to yours and pregnant with an interest that can never die. The great usefulness of the various articles of Indian handicraft for the home is being appre- ciated far more than ever before. Hundreds of our best homes are now using Indian blankets for floor coverings, simply because their owners have come to recognize the fact that nothing makes so satisfactory a floor covering as a genuine hand-woven Indian rug. It is reversible, lasts a generation, is sanitary and easily cleaned. Thousands of people who a few years ago thought that Indian handicraft was of interest only to the collector or for decorative purposes now realize its practical usefulness. Indian silver jewelry is so extensively worn that it is simply a question of getting enough of it from the native craftsmen to meet the demand. In this Indian handicraft business we make no misrepresentations. Our trade mark which you will find on every article we send out is a definite guarantee of genuineness. We simply act as your agents, passing on to you the articles we buy direct from the Indians them- selves. You have the advantage in thus buying from us of knowing that the article has not passed through the hands of three or four imaginative dealers, each of whom has added his story as well as his profit to the article, and each of whom can shift the responsibility of genuineness on to some one else. You deal with us direct, which is the next best thing to dealing with our Indians. If there is an interesting history about any special article we sell you, you can have it; just the plain simple story as we know it; but if not, we cannot patch up a story for you. And it is on this basis alone genuine goods, backed by our unqualified guarantee, with the lowest possible prices that we solicit your orders for Indian handicraft. ^^^i^dx2-x<^ ^\ P The Sign of Genuineness ^\. President. Order everything by its catalogue number 72 INDIAN HANDICRAFT On the Decorative Value of Indian Handicraft Never in the history of our country has the handiwork of the American Indian been the object of so much in- terest as it is to-day. Not only is the Indian himself being studied with an intense interest; but his handiwork is so rabidly growing in popularity that the limit of its output is already being realized. This is largely due to the peculiar fitness of Indian handicraft to our modern ideas of home decoration. In the first place, we have in it the true handicraft of the original American craftsman; and in the second place, by reason of his isolation, the Indian craftsman of the southwest has been less affected by the modernizing influence of the white man than his fellows of the north and middle west states, such as the Sioux and Chippewas. Asa result, we frequently find in Hanketry, basketry, pottery, and the silversmith's art, exactly the same decorative designs that are seen in unearthed specimens of this handicraft of unknown age. Tirst in useful "ess for interior decoration comes the Indian blanket, a fact that has been recognized in the many machine made imitations produced in eastern states. Any one who has seen a Mission style interior furnished with a Navajo blanket of suitable design and colors, or a Pueblo blanket woven to order, and with Indian blankets for P9rtieres, hung flat and drawn lightly back, much as the old Flemish door tapestries were used, cannot fail to have been im- pressed with the harmony of the scheme. The popular impression that an Indian blanket must be " loud " and barbarous in color is in- correct. Only the poorest grades of Indian blankets ever incorpo- rate the inharmonious color combinations of pink, purple, green and orange. The Indian weaver is of simple tastes, drawing his inspirations from natural surroundings, and, left to himself, will, nine times out of ten, produce a beautiful harmony of both design and color. The best made blankets usually combine only the three primary colors of Indian blanketry a rich red, black and white, with the two last often mixed into a gray. Occasionally deep, rich shades of olive green and blue are used; and some of the richest and finest blankets are made only in black, white and gray. The durability of a fine Indian blanket is but little appreciated. Though not cheap in its first cost, a fine Navajo or Pueblo blanket is, in the end, one of the most eco- nomical of floor coverings. It will literally last a generation or more, can be readily cleaned if it becomes dirty; can be almost said to im- prove with age, as the colors soften; can be used either side up; and cannot be worn out. As comj ared with the much advertised Ori- ental rug, it is more American, better adapted to modern decorative styles, and more durable. Indian basketry and pottery come as c^se seconds to blanketry in decorative usefulness. The former, being made in almost all cases, in the natural colors of the fibre used or with vegetable dyes, will be found to harmonize beautifully with almost all furnishing schemes, the colors in the average Indian basket being soft and natural, and lending themselves readily to such uses as shelf or mantel decorations. The same is largely true of Indian pottery, the best of which is made with soft colorings in shades of brown and dull red. Pure white and black, and bright red are seen only in the most inferior pottery, or in the white man's factory-made imitation. A Santa Clara vase or jar without design and with its lustrous black finish, or a fine Moqui jar, in dull brick red and with its quaint fig- ures in dull white and black, will lend a spirit of richness and origin- ality to any interior. The lesson that we should draw in the use of Indian handicraft for decorative purposes is to buy only genuine articles and good spec- - imens, even though they be small and comparatively inexpensive. A void, as you would the plague, the cheap burned leather and similar trash produced by the white man and slanderously called Indian curios. Whether for the fitting up of an Indian corner or the furnishing of an entire room see that what you do get is really Indian handicraft, and get it as good as you can afford, even though it may be small in size. Better a few good specimens than a large number of poor ones. Strive to maintain the effect of simplicity in your furnishing schemes. Then if your purchases are genuine, and especially if you know something of the simple life and gentle character of their mak- ers, your home takes on an additional charm and, since the better specimens are constantly becoming scarcer, the interest of each piece of Indian handicraft will grow with its increasing value as the years go by.

The genuine Indian blanket takes first place as an ideal floor rug. It is so durable that it will literally last a life time, is reversible, easily cleaned and sanitary. The fact that it can now be had in any color to harmonize with any furnishings has removed the last objection that was raised to the more general use of this interesting form of handicraft. Starting six years ago with a very small beginning, our business in Indian blankets has now grown to very large proportions. The reason for this success is the fact that we sell nothing but the best product of the Indian's loom: absolutely genuine Indian blankets that are woven by the Indian in his wonderful way, from nothing but pure, native, hand-spun wool. Wo refuse to sell an imitation Indian blanket of any kind. Only the genuine blanket and the best selected blankets made by the Indians are offered by us, and it is this fact that has built up our business to what it now is the largest of its kind in the world. In order to fully present our offerings of Indian blankets we have issued A Navajo Mother and Child AN ART CATALOGUE OF INDIAN BLANKETS IN COLORS An attractive little publication, containing three-color proces> plates, showing nineteen Indian blankets and similar articles in their actual beautiful colors. The booklet illustrates Navajo, Puetlo and Chimayo Indian blankets and the Mexican zarapes or 1 lankets. It also fully describes the methods of weaving, illustrating the text with numerous original engravings. The catalogue is sent to any address on receipt of 10 cents as an evidence of interest in this form of handicraft. We illustrate and list briefly in this general catalogue our principal offerings of Indian blankets. These are confined to the following: Navajo Indian Blankets, which are woven by the Navajo squaw* on the Navajo Indian Reservation, situated in New Mexico and Arizona. Pueblo Indian Blankets, woven for us under our immediate super- vision, by the best weavers of the Pueblo Indians of southern New Mexico. These blankets are woven in regular patterns and also in special designs and colors to order. Chimayo Indian Blankets, woven by the Indians of the Chimay Valley in Xew Mexico. Navajo Indian Blankets A genuine Navajo blanket is peculiar for two things for the intense interest that attaches to its simple maker in the mind of any one who i> at all interested in Indian handicraft, and for the wonderful skill required in its production. The interest that attaches to a Navajo blanket starts generation* ago. The first Indian weavers on this continent were the Hopis Mokis, as they are now more often called. When the invadinjr Order everything by its catalogue number 7-1 NAVAJO INDIAN BLANKETS Navajo Indian Blankets Continued Spaniards first entered their villages in the year 1540 they found them weaving articles from their home grown and hand-spun cotton, for the sheep was then unknown to them. It was from them that the Navajoes first learned the art, and their method of acquiring it is characteristic of the Navajo of to-day. For years both Navajoes and Hopis had been at war, and when at last a treaty of peace was agreed upon, the principal condition imposed on the Hopis by their Nav- ajo conquerors was that they should teach the latter the art of weaving. That was three hun- dred years ago or more; but the incident deserves to go down in history, and is pregnant with a lesson that might well be taken to heart by war- ring nations of modern times. Through the Spaniards the Navajoes learned the use of wool; and the different stages in the history of Navajo blanket weaving are exemplified 'by the various kinds still in existence. For generations past, however, the principal type of the best Navajo blanket has been the native wool blanket. This is made entirely, both warp and woof, from the hand-spun wool taken from the flocks of sheep that graze throughout the forests and plains of Navajo land. From the time the wool is clipped by hand from the sheep to the completion of the blanket, the process is entirely one of handwork, and the wool never leaves the hands of its Navajo owner. v In Navajo Land A WONDERFUL HANDICRAFT The Navajo simplicity of life and ideas is seen in the making of the blanket. The weaving is done entirely by the Navajo squaw, and is a process that may last for months or even a year or more for the completion of a .single blanket, one weaves her blanket when alone, or with perhaps her little child, and prefers to set up her loom, which is especially made up for each blanket to be woven, under a pine tree some little distance from her "hogan" or hut. Here, surrounded entirely by nature, it is little wonder that she looks to her natural sur- roundings for inspiration as to design. These, as a matter of fact, together with her traditions and supersti- tions, are the story she weaves into her blanket, for, when all is said, every Navajo blanket is, to a greater or less extent, but a story an expression of some tradition or belief. It is in this way that it comes about that almost every Navajo blanket has some significance or symbolic meaning. The ordinary cross, for example, represents the four cardinal points of the compass; the swastika cross, good fortune; the diagonal figures that stand for the male and the female lightning the latter distinguished by the blunt end; the cow, represent- ing the horizon; the wind, rain, thunder, pueblo, mountain and mesa all are found represented by various figures. Similarly, colors have their significance, such as white, which represents purity; black, authority; blue, truth or sincerity; red, delight and joy. No two Navajo blankets are ever woven alike, and never is one found to be perfectly symmetrical in the smallest detail of pat- tern. A Navajo squaw has an unconquerable superstition against making a perfect pattern, which to her mind would imply the perfect completion of her work and the consequent ending of her life. At the same time, these imperfections of pattern are so slight as to be seldom evident to an ordinary person. RUGS THAT LAST A LIFETIME The durability of a Navajo blanket is phenomenal, and i.s probably its leading characteristic. Some of the best weaves are so fine as to be water proof. This feature of durability makes them well adapted for use as floor rugs, as they will stand unlimited wear and tear. They are, of course, the same on both sides, and therefore reversible. In the purchase of a Navajo blanket everything depends upon 'the selection of the weave and harmony of design and color. Our Mr. Lester has always purchased by personal selec- tion all of our offerings of Navajo blankets. For this purpose he visits the Navajo Indian Reservation frequently and selects the blankets that we offer of such character that he frequently ^BJHBP^" discards a hundred blankets before he purchases one which comes up to the standard that we seek to maintain in all our Navajoes Spinning and Weaving offerings.

They are the handi - work of a tribe of Pueblo Indians living in southern New Mexico, from among whom we have selected the best weavers, whom we keep constantly employed. Their blankets are woven entirely from pure, native, hand-spun wool, in the same way as the Navajo blankets. They acquired the art many generations ago, and con- stant practice from generation to gener- ation has enabled them to bring it to a high point of perfection. The Pueblo Indians were the original blanket weavers of the Southwest, and it was from them that the Navajo Indians first learned the art. These blankets are woven in absolute- ly fast colors, and we can offer the exclu- sive advantage of having them made to our customer's order in any size, color or design to order. This is a decided advan- tage over the Navajo blanket, two of which are never produced exactly alike. No. 1720.

From the Pueblos of New Mexico to the Pacific Coast, and extending thence far into Alaska, we find a multitude of differ- ent types, each characteristic of its makers. A number of smaller tribes situated in other parts of the continent also practice the art. It would require a catalogue as large as this one to list and describe all of the various types of Indian basketry. We can only content ourselves with offering here the best types from the Indian tribes of the Southwest of New Mexico and Arizona. Indian baskets are useful for a variety of purposes, such as work baskets, waste paper baskets, card receivers, and in other ways about the home. They are strong in decorative value, and one or two suitably placed about an interior lend a distinct charm that can be had from nothing else. The better types of Indian baskets are exceedingly durable, and will last several generations. Our selections here offered have been made with care, and in making the illustrations, we have here, as else- where throughout this catalogue, avoided the practice of showing only the best examples. The baskets shown are typical of our stocks, and we can supply similar representative specimens promptly at any time. Pima and Apache Indian Baskets First, from the standpoint of the relative importance of their makers, as well as in the quality of the baskets themselves, come the Pima and Apache baskets, made by the Indians of those tribes in eastern Arizona. They are by far the best woven and the most durable baskets of any made in the southwest, and of more general useful- ness than any other Indian baskets. They are woven from willow, which is gathered at a certain season of the year by the Indian squaws and peeled and stored. When about to be used, it is placed in water to be made suffi- ciently pliable. The ground work of the baskets is woven in the natural color of the fibre a light, dull yellow whilst the pattern, which is woven from the peeled bark of a native plant, commonly known as Devil's Claw, is woven in black. The process of making these baskets is an exceedingly laborious one, and a weaver frequently spends more than a month on a single specimen. The following descriptions and prices are representative of what we can readily supply from stock, although no two baskets are ever made alike. Pima and No. 901 Shallow Bowl Shape.

Every basket that they make is strongly associated with some religious ceremony, and the designs are all symbolic of some belief. This is emphatically the case with all Katcina plaques, each one resembling one of the two hundred or more distinct Katcina personages, who are supposed to exercise some special influence with the many spirits in which the Moki Indian still firmly believes. The basketry of the Mokis is remarkable for the fact that in many forms it retains the original Indian vegetable dyes, whose soft and harmonizing shades are so greatly admired. ' The Moki baskets are made in two forms, the coiled plaques and baskets, which are made by the Mokis of the second or middle mesa, and which are excellent types of the best coiled weaving; and the other form which is made from a different material and in a different weave, and is pro- duced by the Moki Indians of the third cr west mesa, principally at the pueblo of Oraibe.

The Navajoes make but few baskets, and these not for commercial purposes. Every Navajo basket is made for the purpose of being used in certain ceremonies, such as the Yebichai and wedding dances. They are exceedingly difficult to procure, being very scarce, the Navajo seldom parting with used specimens except as a last resort. All our offerings include only baskets that have been used in the Navajo ceremonies. Some are very old and all are fine specimens. These baskets are considered to be among the very finest examples of the art.

Order everything by its catalogue number 84 INDIAN POTTERY INDIAN POTTERY The art of pottery making is undoubtedly the oldest of the Indian arts, for we find in almost all the ruins of prehistoric times many beautiful examples. It is the one art in which the Indians' love of artistic form is given its fullesl scope. The art is confined to the non-nomadic tribes which have a fixed residence; that is, to the Pueblos They are the master potters to whom all other American tribes are, relatively speaking, but novices; and theii handiwork is of infinite variety both in form and ornamentation. The industry is an important one, and eacl tribe has its own peculiar method of working, which we find varying in such details as the different methods of preparing the clay, of making the vessel, and of firing; whilst the variety of form in the decorations used ij almost endless. The Pueblo potter uses no wheel, and the forms he makes are his original creations of eye and hand. The claj is ground and mixed with powdered potsherds. A form, such as the bottom of an old bowl, is made use of ir moulding the bottom of his piece of handiwork, and on this the clay, rolled out into a slender coil or rope, is fastened By a process of careful coiling the vessel to be made is gradually built up and fashioned into its beautiful form It is then smoothed with a gourd rind and dried in the sun. Following this, it is covered with a wash, by means of a piece of rabbit skin and when dry the exterior surface is given a beautiful finish by being rubbed with smooth polishing stone, an article that is frequently handed down as an heirloom from one generation to another The decorations in natural Indian colors many of them of vegetable origin are then applied, by means of i brush made from the fibre of the yucca plant. Finally, the piece is burned in a rude kiln or oven, and at lengtl comes forth a truly remarkable and beautiful piece of ceramic art. The making of a piece of pottery is sometime.' attended with a good deal of superstition. In the process of burning the Indians sometimes associate the hissing sound caused by the heated moisture in the bowl with the spirit which is embodied in the bowl or jar. Th< break in the line decorating many pieces of Indian pottery is purposely left there by its maker to release the spiril of the bowl when broken. Indian pottery lends itself readily to the interior decoration of home, office, or schoolroom. It possesses a high educational value, and is coming to be greatly appreciated in drawing, modeling, and other forms of manuai training work. We devote the time of an expert collector to the filling of orders for schools and similar institutions Our offerings in pottery include the best handiwork of the Pueblos, and will be found properly classified on the following pages. We pack all pottery with the greatest care, and in such a way as to insure safe delivery if handled in the ordinary manner.

TERMS OF DELIVERY AND GUARANTEE A large item of expense in the shipment of Indian pottery is the transportation charges.

Order everything by its catalogue number INDIAN POTTERY Moki Indian Pottery The Craftsman" Mr. Aikin, an authority on the handiwork of these decoration on a pot or In a recent number of Indians wrote: "In pottery, which only the women work in, the lines and proportions couldn't be improved on by a hair's breadth, while the composition and balance of the painted bowl are entirely satisfying." And truly no pottery is richer in decorative value or more distinct in the symbolism of its figures. Hardly any of it is made by the Mokis to sell, but for their own use only, and the best specimens are at all times scarce and difficult for the white man to procure. Nampeya, a Moki squaw, is admittedly the finest living decorator of Indian pottery. Each example of her handi- work is a masterpiece, and the output, of course, is limited. Our offerings of Moki pottery com- prise the best from the pueblo. The pottery is all finished in shades varying in depth from a dull cream to a rich, deep red. 1021 Moki Indian Pottery.

Unlike most other Indian tribes, the Navajoes will not wear or use any imitation of the precious metals nor any of the worthless metal trinkets worn and prized by the Indians of the Middle West. They disdain to have anything to do with an imitation of any kind. Neither do they work in gold. The Navajo silversmith works with the most primi- tive of tools. These consist of a small melting pot, a small anvil, a hammer, and the necessary dies with which he creates the designs to be hammered on the finished pieces. With this outfit he melts down silver dollars in his melt- ing pot and from the product molds and hammers out the finished articles with a skill that, considering his primitive appliances, is little short of marvelous. The articles most generally made by the Navajo silver- smith consist of the silver bead necklace, the bracelet, the ring, and the belt buckle. Other forms are scarce an 1 growing more so each year. The price of all genuine Navajo silverware is steadily maintained by the constant demand for it among the Navajoes themselves. They will readily pay the top price for any fine example of their silverware, and, as a matter of fact, a large part of the articles made by the Navajo silversmith are bought by his fellow Indians. Old Navajo silverware, which we show on this page, is rapidly becoming scarce. It is highly prized by collectors who appreciate the fact that little of the modern silver- ware possesses the richness and originality of design found in the better examples of the older forms of the art. We cannot guarantee the supply of the articles here listed. Some are only procured with difficulty. Many Navajoes will sooner part with all their other worldly possessions than dispose of their bead necklaces. Our stock, how- ever, is kept up as well as possible by constant collecting from the Navajoes themselves and through time-expired articles of silverware which they have pawned.

Most of the articles offered on this page are genuine relics of the Moki snake dance, and are procured with difficulty in anything like the quantity necessary to meet the demand.

Indian Pinon Nuts Indian Tanned Fur Skins and Rugs The Indians bring to us from time to time handsome speci- mens of the natural fur rugs of some of the wild and domestic animals of the Southwest. These are all Indian tanned by them, in a process which renders them soft, pliable, durable and moth proof. We list on this page most of the skins that are brought to us in this way. We can have any of these mounted with heads and eyes' and .lined with a high grade of felt, if desired, and solicit correspondence from our customers desiring this work done. ANGORA FUR RUGS The finest flocks of Angora goats in the world range through the mountains of New Mexico. We have made importations of the celebrated Turkish Angora rugs direct from Turkey, for the purpose of comparing with the New Mexican Angora rugs, and find that the latter are equal to the finest Turkish importations. The wool of the New Mexico Angora goat in the rugs here offered is from 4 to 6 inches long just the right length for combined service and beauty, and it is of a beautifully white, silky texture. These rugs are -admirable and showy floor rugs, and being moth proof will last for an indefinite number of years. All are in the pure white color of the Angora goat. They can be washed at any time, in case they become soiled, and are in this way quickly cleaned. No. 1085 Angora fur rugs as described above; length 30 to 36 inches, each $5.00 No. 1085.

This was sufficient material to make a medium-sized shirt waist, the drawn-work borders of the centerpiece making the front, with plenty left for the collar and cuffs. It is quite as nice a waist as can be purchased in the shops for eight dollars." The above refers to our Drawn-Work Waist Offer No. 336, shown on page 23 of this catalogue.
