From National Geographic, November 1926, this full-page ad for Heisey Glassware reassures the hostess seeking "...a season made memorable by happy guests, beautiful tables, (and) the infinite charm of fine glassware.

Especially so if the glassware is Heisey's. For have you ever seen more fascinating creations?  Exquisite patterns, graceful designs, alluring tints!  Goblets, sherbets, plates, and pieces for every purpose  --  delightful and brilliant.

Heisey's glassware is readily recognized by its quality, but the trade mark assures you beyond doubt.  Be sure to look for it when you shop.  And ask your dealer to show you the rich Flamingo and Moon Gleam colors, now so much in vogue."

The inset at the right , titled "An Old Southern Recipe for Quail"  pictures "Bacon, a distinguished-looking old darkey, (who) presided over the cuisine of the Peabody Hotel at Memphis."

In the lower right corner, Three Charter Oak stems are pictured with a luncheon plate and shaker.
