Do you know where to go?

Do you have some pieces missing to your china set? Did you inherit a special set from your mother or grandmother but don't know where to go to find more matching pieces?
Visit Replacements, LTD. You can call 1-800-737-5223 or visit www.replacement.com. They carry more than 200,00 patterns. I actually added on to my china set that was purchased in 1984 and they had all the pieces I was looking for.

Need to polish the silver but hate all the hours of hand polishing and laugh when they say
you can "dip the tarnish away"? Try MAAS, an easy wipe on wipe off, no-wait polish. Just

product can be used on all metals.
