Jewelry and Art.

Centuries ago, the business of which
we write was listed among the black arts.
Ancient intaglios almost justify such a
decree. Then lifetime, approximately.
was spent upon single artistic creation
! in the jewelers. domain. Now, it is diff
ferent. Art goes hand in hand with
human thought and human progress, and
makes innovations everywhere.
This train of reflection is natural to
any one who will visit the tasteful and
attractively furnished salesroom of G..
Schleuder of this city.
Let us step in and look at his display.
First, we can assure you, you will find
one of the largest stocks in Southern
Minnesota Mr.. Schleuder has been in
this business many years and knows all
its outs and ms. He has mercantile con-
nections with manufacturing houses,
which enables him to buy at figures as
low as any merchant in the northwest,
a living profit. It is merely superf1uOus
assortment of jewelry found at this es-
tablishment. He has standard watches
of every make, for ladies and gentlemen,
and the most elegant cases designed by
modern artists. The chains, guards,
necklaces, etc, exhibited, are ravishing-
both in quality and in uniqueness of de-
vices. In jewelry sets Schleuder excels.
And herein lies one great cause OF his
SUGGESTIVE power of taste, judgment
and experience. He seeks to educate the
public He does not deal to the taste
ordinary, he seeks to elevate it.
And so we run down the scale into
brooches, earrings, sleeve-buttons, all
kinds of emblem pins, crosses and brace
lets, lockets and fanciful designs in every
description of jewelry, until we come to
clocks and bric and 5rac.
If you wish to make truly elegant
Christmas gift, what is more appropriate
than one of Schlcuder's superb French
time-pieces? Look at his bronzes, vases,
and other rare bits of art and beauty,
which an experienced taste has selected.
1t is scarcely necessary to refer to the
silverware department.. The most recent
and stylish patterns in all kinds of silver
ware is shown at this glittering house.
Whether it be sterling silver goods, or
pieces in ever varied and fanciful de-
signs, Schleuder has them in endless
variety.
And so does he keep all those goods so
desirable for holiday presentation-jewel
cases, odor cases, of every descriptions
splendid line of artistically made cutlery
l-pie, cake and butter knives, soup
ladies, and berry spoons, and we're we to
devote a couple of columns to descrip-
ton of the goods carried by Mr.. Schleude,
we Won Id then fail to properly describe
his stock
BY superior advantages and overwhelm-
ing experience Mr.. Schleuder has built up
an enormous patronage in Austin and
vicinity. The OVERLOOKING benefit he is
daily receiving is simply a proof of his
ability to command the market and un.
dersell his competitors. The TRANSCRIPT
commends him.
