Everlasting flowers! Flowers come as guests whom we dearly want to see and should like to keep with us. Yet they will not stay for long and often arrive rather late. The Sundour fabrics copy the gaiety and glory and variety of the flowers. You will find in Sundour fabrics colours that bloom and colours that seem to burn and colours that are modest, delicate and shy. And these colours never fade, for it is the charm of the Sundour fabrics that they are not fugitive but fixed. Not passing and perishing but perennial and everlasting. Sundour Curtains and Furnishing Fabrics. Unfaddable MORTON SUNDUR FABRICS LIMITED, CARLISLE AD. VII
