The new card Of this stirring firm
will afford interesting reading this
week and many weeks to come. But
don't be satisfied with the mere read
ing Of the card. Follow II up by
an examination Of the superb and
beautiful goods you, in part only,
read about. We thought a year ago
that Mr.. Byrd (the old mani had
"capptd the climax" when he PIE
scented the grand and magnificent
display which we then saw. But, We
were simply mistaken, for he went
OF last fall and ransacked every hole
and corner in which elegant jewclry
might possibly be hid away, and, for
auebt that We know, visited the
Dervisch Pasha in search OF the most
elegant and recherche jewelry, watches
and the richest diamonds that money
could buy and human skill and inge.
nuity design and mount. Besides all
these, there are grand displays Of
silverware, watches, spectacles, eye
glasses, cutlery, tableware and about
ninety nine hundred other things
that i takes seven men to remember
the names Of, for besides Dir. @. L.
Byrd asd his handsome brother,
Frank, there are Messrs. Barrows,
Buruss, Breckwell, Fox and Benson,
oil busy, and yet all pleasant and
smiling, rain or no rain. They arc
surrounded BY 50 much that Is beans
tifnl and brilliant and are always IN
such good humor that they never
grow old. Happy christmas % you
all, gentlemen Domestic felicity
to the married and good luck %
the young candidates for matrimony
We must not omit to mention thsl
tho manufacturing and repairing de-
partment IL thorough and complete
and In hsnds that never turn out aly
bus the most finished aud pcrfec
