Rugs for Sale at The Loom

Read Aloud

We have come to the sign of "The loom," where Miss Eleanor M. Arms weaves. On her loom, which is 300 years old, she has at present a blue and white rug which she is weaving from the Kentucky homespun which she uses for nearly all of her rugs. Her rugs are the colors of real Navajo rugs, but of much lighter weight. She also has on exhibition some handsome rugs woven from silk and velvet rags.

"Ye Olden Time," Springfield Republican July 11, 1919.
