Ribbons for a Marriage Custom in Old Washington
An elderly Washington resident recalls a fifty year old custom of tying purple or gold ribbons to street door knobs to announce a wedding. The ribbons signified public notice or clergy approval when banns were not read in churches. The practice faded about fifty years ago, with varied church attitudes. Hood's Sarsaparilla claimed to ease rheumatism by purifying blood, reducing stiffness.
