With skill and vision we Restore

Weavers
With wheel and loom only
we spin and inter-weave threads
throughout a worn and tired fabric.
Our fresh and vital motifs afford new vision and form a grand design;
old, fading patterns, irrelevant today are displaced in geometric progression as I ‘write.’
Our looms are strong and versatile,
our highly skilled weavers easily produce the finest silks to the heaviest wools;
our tireless wheels -- spinning day and night -- produce the finest quality available;
sturdy, captivating and of universal appeal.
The entire world will soon have new and vibrant attire with which to adorn itself;
not the slightest trace of discomfort or abrasion;
our weaves are smooth as skin, a joy to wear and behold.
Ugly, worn, ill-fitting garments will no longer see the light of day.
