Walker's knew how to appeal to their audience. The back side of this sheet says: "To-day's Handiwork is To-morrow's Heirloom." A hand made quilt may be treasured by future generations. Women who embroider well are the envy of their friends. The best results are obtained with Walker's Hot Iron Transfers.
The torn page is from the Butterick Company which was founded in the 1860s.
