I have up for barter the following 6 booklets for barter they are as follows:
1. Coats and Clarks Hostess Book. From 1956. Has directions for edgings on placemats and aprons that coordinate with each other. It has 15 pages and is in very good condition!
2. Coats and Clarks Doiles "decorative...distinctive...dramatic..." From 1955 and has 15 pages.
3. "Edgings" for handkerchiefs From 1954 also 15 pages.
4. "Kitchen Crochet" featuring "Speed-Cro-Sheen" by Coats and Clarks 1954 and again 15 pages.

6. Priscilla "Centerpieces" features table doiles. 15 pages and from 1951.
These are all probably older than just about all of us! In good to very good condition.

"We are all better for contact and companionship with other people. We need such contact to polish off the rough corners of our minds and our manners, but it is a pitiful thing when anyone cannot, if necessary, stand by himself sufficient to himself and in good company even though alone."
