Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ecclesiastical Department
The visitor at the Fifth Avenue store will find that The Gorham Com pany is prepared to supply the artistic requirements of any church, from the smallest chapel to the largest cathedral in the land.
It is surprising into what varied fields the natural growth of a great firm like Gorham's will lead. Twenty-nine years ago this firm (shortly to round out a full century's existence) began to make silver Communion Sets for churches. From that has grown the big and comprehensive Ecclesiastical Department of to-day.
This branch of the business is in the hands of men who have grown up in it and made it their life study. The artists are men who have adopted ecclesiastical art as their life work. They are the foremost men in America in this branch of art. Their work is executed with reverence and sympathy.
The Gorham Company can equip a church throughout. Their designers cooperate with the architect in planning the interior fittings and details, thus combining practical experience with purely artistic training, resulting in the enduring beauty of the church edifice.
A feature of the Gorham business is the conversion of family and per sonal heirlooms of gold, silver, and jewels into memorials for church use.
The productions of this department may be purchased from any of the leading jewelers.
