Why You Can Buy This
$2500 Lamp for Only $590

The Decorative Arts League actually spent that amount
for the model of a lamp which would be the last word
in beauty of design and execution that they might
offer reproductions of it at a price within the reach of all
who appreciate artistic creations for everyday use.

Under the auspices of the
Art Alliance of America and
the Decorative Arts League,
national exhibition
held, in which artists from
all over the country entered
their designs. Large enough
cash prizes were offered to
attract the finest talent, and
a jury of eminent artists and
critics selected the lamp that
in their judgment was the
acme of beauty and utility.

$2500 For One Lamp

The result was the now famous and altogether charming lamp submitted by Miss Mary Bishop, which

the

Decorative Arts League se-
cured at a cost of over $2500,
as the one design unmistak-
ably supreme for its purpose.

bership costs nothing and involves no obligations of any kind. Few of the League's offerings are ever advertised to the public, and it is only occasionally that some special achievement like the Bishop Lamp is announced, in order to increase the membership among discriminating people.

Taste to Any Home This delightful lamp is 161⁄2 inches high and the shade is 13 inches in diameter. The graceful base is cast in medallium of rich, statuary bronze finish. The parchment shade, so much in vogue just now, is designed as a unit with the lamp. It is in tones of graygold-brown graded into ivory brown, with dark bands around the flare and edge bound with strips of dull brass that make it as durable as it is charming. Being of neutral tone, it will harmonize with any decorative scheme. For oil, gas or electricity. The teakwood stand shown in this illustration does not come with the lamp.

The League has always held that artistic lamps need cost no more than drab, commonplace ones, so they were willing to spend so much money on one lamp, that they might sell duplicates of it for as low a price as $5.90.

The sole reason the League is able to sell it so reasonably is because it has a "corresponding membership" of people who are interested in learning about artistic new things for the home that they might never hear of otherwise, and in buying them at such remarkably low prices they could not possibly equal them elsewhere.

SCE BIG

EDNA

FERBER

"HOW
OW big is my baby?" Selina would demand, senselessly,
"How big is my man?"

Then little Dirk DeJong, standing before his mother, would stretch
his arms wide and squeal, "So-o-o-o big!" in dutiful solo.

When he grew to be one of the most correct young men of Chicago's
fashionable North Shore, he returned to his apartment one night,
from visiting his mother, and questioned himself: "How big?"
His answer is this magnificent story of Edna Ferber's that for the
past twenty-two weeks has been the best-selling book in America.
100,000 people have gone to bookstores to buy this story and Wil-
liam Lyon Phelps, John Farrar and many others have praised it as
"the best American novel of the year." At bookstores, $2.00.
