Miller & Siegrist To Liquidate Echoes From The Past The Reading Public Museum is pleased to present an exhibition now on view in its North American Indian Gallery featuring traditional, handmade wool blankets from the Navajo nation, drawn from its permanent collection. Six varied examples from the middle of the 19th through the early decades of the 20th century, including saddle blankets and an impressive thirdphase Chief’s Blanket (post 1860s), are on display. The assemblage of exceptional works also includes fine examples of silver and turquoise jewelry - bracelets and necklaces (squash blossom and crescent pendant) from the early
20th century. Most of the jewelry was collected during visits to Shiprock in northwest New Mexico, the Navajo reservation, in the early 1940s. The grouping also includes an early, hand-tooled concho belt made of silver and hide and a wooden weaving fork, which was used to make the impressive Navajo weavings. Navajo blankets, with their bold patterns, rich colors, and finely woven techniques, were initially utilitarian objects (cloaks, wraps, and saddle blankets), but eventually became highly sought after and prized trade items in the West. Curator Scott Schweigert remarked that since “the blankets are not often on view, due to their fragile nature - easily fading if left for too long in strong light - we hope visitors to come to see them during this special exhibition.” The works will be on view through the end of January, 2017. The Reading Public Museum is supported in part by grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and is located at 500 Museum Road, Reading, Pa. The museum is open daily 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For admission or membership information, or directions, visit www.reading publicmuseum.org.

Ben and Bertha Brubaker have been operating Echoes from the Past for close to 50 years. The couple began by selling architectural building materials out of their barn located outside Manheim, Pa. Over the years, the business grew to the sale of rustic barn beams and assorted lumber to salvaged hardware, shutters, glass, slate, and doors, just to name a few things. The Brubakers have decided to retire and will be selling the complete inventory of the business during a three-day public auction slated for Thursday, Sept. 22; Saturday, Sept. 24; and Saturday, Oct. 1. This is a unique lifelong collection. The couple has been heavily involved in community programs
such as the 4-H, Big Brothers/ Big Sisters, Grave Concern, Gideons and have hosted Fresh Air Fund children. Visit www.millersiegrist.com to learn more about what will be sold each day.
