a MAGNIFICENT ESTABLISHMENT.
We had the pleasure. yesterday, OF
being shown through the splendid
iewelry establishment Of Messrs
Geissler & Delaug, who have lately
moved to No 81 Main Street, one
door below Second. Their new build
ing was fitted up especially for them,
and every arrangement has been made
for perfect display of their magnifi-
cent stock. On entering their store
the eye is greeted with one Of the
finest stocks of jewelry to be found in
the West. On marble-tOp counters
are ranged six glass show cases, con-
tanning watches of every name and
make, from Jergeson's celebrated
quarter second stop watch down, in
Guiding all styles of American, Eng
lish and Swiss watches; watch chains
Of every conceivable style and variety
solid gold and diamond rings; mag
nilicent sets of jewelry and bracelets /;
gold pens and cases in endless
variety, spectacles. silverware, &c.
There are four magnificent show
cases behind the counters, two on
each side. deliberately carved and ex-
eeuted in rosewood finish, with heavy
plate glass in the front and sides,
which were designed and made to
order by l.. Weigel & Co the we'll
known show case manufacturers, in
Cincinnati. These cases contain the
most elegant assortment of silver
table ware, tea setts, eastors, urns,
ice pitchers, egg and wine castors,
cake baskets, goblets, &C., and it is a
genuine pleasure TO look at the rich
goods displayed therein.
The front room of the second story
is used as the manufacturing depart
ment, in which every description of
solid gold and silver jewelry is made
to order. We were both astonished
aud surprised at the intricate ma
chinery that we saw in operation in
this department; they have a large
patent furnace for melting gold, and
large steel rollersfor rolling out plain
and chased solid gold rings also,
large steel draw-bench, with which
they draw down gold wire of all sizes,
from the eighth of an inch to the
thickness of a hair. This is one
of the noticeable features OF this es-
tablishment, as persons who desire
j9welry of any particular design can
have 1t made to order, without having
to send to Cincinnati or New York.
The remaining rooms In the second
and third stories are used as ware
rooms for their wholesale clock de-
partment, in which branch of bust
ness they have built up magnificent
trade. Their stock of clocks is very
large. and embraces almost every
grade, from the finest and costliest
thirty-day time Keepers to the cheap
est twenty-four hour clock.
We were very much interested in
the working of a curious little ma
chine that is used for splitting and
re-pointing gold pens. This is an
other new feature In this city, aud is
one that will be appreciated by all
who write with gold pen, as when
they get broken or out of order, they
can be repaired or re- pointed at short
notice and at reasonable prices, with
out having to send them away to some
other city. Messrs. Geissler a. De-
langNare the agents in this city for the
celebrated Foley gold pen, and
keep fine assortment constantly on
hand.
1t is with pleasure that we chroni
Gle such evidences of improvement in
our large and rapidly growing city
The gentlemen composing this firm
are both young men, but they have
already built up name as business
men that is not often achieved so
early in life. They are both live,
energetic working men, and have
given their profession the closest at
tention, and are now proprietors of
an establishment that would be an
ornament to any Of the largest cities.
They have made their store as at
tractive as possible. and have spared
neither money or industry in their en-
deavors to make it the finest estab
lishment of the kind In the West. 1t
is a pleasure to look through their
stock, whether you purchase or not;
