This was about 14,000 years ago. Some 3,000 years later we find that colorful glass beads were as treasured as fine jewels. And still.later, in about 1450 B. C., the Egyp tians had built a thriving glass works, making glass beads, bowls, plates and cups — all very expensive ana passed from generation to generation as a precious inheritance. But it was not until about 300 B. C., that the Phoenicians in vented the glass blow-pipe and discovered the fascinatin art of blowing glass whic was thin and crystal-clear— and the Phoenicians called this new found product of their artisans CRYSTAL. During the succeeding cen turies to the present time— through the Golden Age of Rome, down through the ages to the famous Florentine glass-blowers, the art of mak ing exquisite crystal has been perfected.

In decorat- i n g your home, you arc express ing your own personality. And, you should cer tainly c o n- sider your own basic likes and dislikes. You can do a beautiful job in many different ways and styles. One noticeable trend to- d a y is to mix periods, woods and finishes, so it is not difficult to assemble the things you like. I always say that money will never take the place o good taste, and all of us have seen homes furnished on a shoe-string" that could win a prize in decorating shows. So regardless of your budget, you can furnish your home attractively with the exact pieces you need and like. And, don’t be afraid to express your imagination! When you do need assist ance in selecting any pieces of furniture, we can help you pick the things you *want at the price you can afford.
