      "The Emblem club trophy was offered in 1940 \"for the best modernistic entry\".",
      "1940 was previously a blank year in the cup's record.",
      "With 1939 and 1943, it establishes modernistic as a recurring category rather than a single year's choice.",
      "The five cups were displayed for four days before the show in the Lumbermen's insurance agency window on Wall street — the cup as a public object, as in 1920 when it was shown at Larson & Co., jewellers.",
      "The show is called the Bend Garden club's 19th annual, held in Epworth hall on August 15."

    "limitations": [
      "Published in advance of the show; no winner is named on this page.",
      "The \"19th annual\" numbering does not reconcile with the 1911 origin the paper gives elsewhere, nor with the \"twentieth annual\" of 1933. The likeliest explanation is that the Bend Garden club counted its own series from when it took the show over, but this page does not say so and the project records the inconsistency rather than resolving it.",
      "The report concerns the show; nothing here bears on the emblem as a device."

      "The five: the Theodora S. Johnson cup for the best still-life exhibit; the Lions club trophy for the most outstanding arrangement in the show; the Bend Garden club cup for the best bowl of perennials or annuals for colour harmony; “the Emblem club trophy, for the best modernistic entry”; and the Elks club prize for the most points won by one exhibitor.",
      "Two things follow. 1940 was a blank year in the cup's record and is now filled — and modernistic becomes a run rather than a one-off, since it was also the Emblem cup's class in 1939 and in 1943. Modernistic arrangement was a real competitive style then: spare, asymmetric, Japanese-influenced, set against the massed Victorian bowl.",
      "And the cup was a public object. Twenty-eight years after the club gave it, and sixteen after the club ended, it spent four days in a shop window on Wall street with the town's other trophies — the same habit as 1920, when the Emblem and Commercial club cups were shown at Larson & Co., jewellers."
