Best-likes Wedding Gift: Gorham STERLING. A wedding gift of Gorham Sterling tableware reflects the good. taste of both the donor and the bride! That's why today’s bride-to-be tells her fiends witch Gorham pattern is her very own.  And that's why those friends and her family, too, would rather give solid silver place-settings or extra serving pieces than any other gift.

Gorham STERLING isn’t expensive. A six-piece place-setting in one of Gorham’s 16 timeless, fashion-right patterns consists of a knife, fork, teaspoon, soup spoon, butter spreader and salad fork-costs form $29.75 to $39.25 (Fed.Tax incl.) and most Gorham dealers have budget plans available.

P.S. Only Gorham makes one-piece sterling knife-handles. This exclusive process permits finer pattern detail, prevents denting and rattling, even after repeated washing in boiling water.
