Comin'
thro' the
RYE

Gin a body meet a body,
Comin' thro' the rye;
Gin a body kiss a body,
Need a body cry?

Ilka lassie has her laddie,
Ne'er a ane hae I;
But a' the lads they smile at me,
When comin' thro' the rye.

CALENDARS
Various woven calendars were made in different years - many mounted on postcards from the early 1900s onwards, others with Christmas or New Year greetings printed on the reverse side.

Several silks were incorporated in the covers or mounts of calendars (the calendar part being printed on paper in the normal manner) and these cannot be classed as woven calendars. Nevertheless, the finest post-war Grant silk pictures have been especially woven to enhance these standard calendars.

Other comments:
Godden records this silk as having been issued in various formats, including as a Grant Comany calendar for 1931.

On the calendar above, the central flap containing the silk, lifts up to reveal the 1931 calendar, together with an amusing motto.
As can be seen in the image below, the calendar is still complete:
