On Golden Wedding Day, Mrs. Bilz Holding Unusual Bouquet
Holyoke, Oct 13 — At the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Bilz of 10 Magnolia Avenue recently a special feature of interest was the large bouquet of golden colored roses seen in the picture being held by Mrs. Bilz. There were 50 altogether and what made it an unusual bouquet was that from 20 of the roses hung short lengths of narrow golden ribbons each bearing at the top a $2.50 gold piece.
