Hello Andrea
In the little book published by Liz Knight on Harry Armstrong and the Bucks
Cottage Workers' Agency of Olney there is a picture of a trade stand in
Buffalo, Canada. Pictured on the right is Harry's sister Hilda Armstrong ,
in the background is a lady seated at a lace pillow. On the left is a
younger woman - could this be the Mrs Netty Armstrong? They are all in front
of a stand exhibiting a considerable amount of lace.

Hi All,
I've just download a copy of Home Needlework Magazine - Nov 1915 from the
Univ
Arizona weaving site and came across this ad which I thought I would
share:-
Hand Made Lace
From England
That beautiful lace straight from the peasant workers of Bucks, England.
Due
to the war these English peasant lacemakers are in real need. Just or
unjust,
this struggle is not of their making but these peace-loving folks are
sufferers. Therefore purchases now will be good deed as well as profitable
to
you. You'll be delighted with the free book we want to send you. Write for
it
today.
Mrs Netty Armstrong's Lacemakers, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
Wonder how much they sold?
Happy lacing,
Andrea
