Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 227, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 September 1913 — For the “Brass Wedding.” [ARTICLE]

For the “Brass Wedding.”

That wholly modern institution, the brass wedding, is popular because the bride and bridegroom thus celebrat ing feel that they are not hinting for costly gifts when they send invitations to their friends to rejoice with them. If the “bride” is literary, she will like to have something for her desk—a stationery rack, a memoran, dum pad with a pencil attached to a spiral spring, a desk blotter, a string box, a book rack or book ends. Don’t forget that the “bridegroom,” if he is a smoker, a brass lamp of antique appearance, or a cigar pedestal with a dish for the ashes flaring into grooves for the stubs of his weeds. Both “bride” and “bridegroom” will appreciate a brass serving tray, a chafing dish with a matoh box holder attached, a tea caddy, capdle shades, bridge score pads or an egg djsh bolder.
