This photograph was used for obtaining orders for bed spreads. On the verso of the photograph is written, “Blue Bell, All Prices 66″–68″ $25.00 each, 72″–76″ $25.00 to 28.00 each All these have pillow runners with spreads. Please return promptly to Allanstand Cottage Industries, Inc., 6 Government St., Asheville, N.C.” Lightly in pencil is written “Mrs [Sodler]. Please return” - the name is unclear. Could she have been the creator? The design appears to be a knotted needlework.
