"FRIENDSHIP'S ROAD:"
Friendship is a chain of gold, 
Shaped in God's perfect mold, 
Each link a smile, a laugh, a tear, 
A grip of the hand , a word of cheer.
As steadfast as the ages roll, 
Binding closer soul to soul;
No matter how far, or heavy to load, 
Sweet is the journey on Friendship's Road."

1932 MOTHER MOTTO PICTURE, like Marigold, might be Marigold but there is no signature, bottom left says only " ... cago & N.Y. ... ure frame co.", 7" x 11"; very good to good condition, something was nibbling on this as 3 of the edges are rough and it really no longer quite fits the frame  (it is very close so there are not glaring gaps), the bottom left corner-edge area is the worst, there are places where the topmost layer of paper of the print is gone exposing overly white patches (especially noticeable on the bottom left), there is overall yellowing and a couple of spots of foxing (spots from aging - kind of rust colored), the frame is in excellent condition with very slight wear; even though it has difficulties, this picture still looks pretty good, I am pricing only slightly more than I would for the frame alone    #MO28251    $23.00

"WELCOME GUEST!"
Hello Guest, and howdeedoo!
This small room belongs to you, 
And our house and all that's in it - 
Make yourself at home each minute.
If the temperature displeases
Take a couple of our breezes;
And if that should chill you later -
Sit upon our radiator.
If a hungry pang is twitchin'
Make a raid upon our kitchen -
Help your self to book or blotter,
Easy chair or teeter-totter;
All is yours that you like the best.
You're at home, now!
Welcome, Guest!"

To Stranger as to Kin;
And bless each crystal window pane
That lets the starlight in;
And bless the roof-tree overhead
And every sturdy wall;
The peace of man, the peace of God
The peace of love on all.
