Seen around The Gin


We have been seeing some very pretty
things as we have been looking over the stock
of the
JEWELERS..
And although we have only three for a city
of over 5000 Cinhabitants, surrounded by a
thickly settled and first-class agricultural
district, they have such large stock that one
is not surprised that there are no more. We
first noticed
FRED WILLIAMS, o,
Whose establishment is easily found, as in
front of it is clock, the like of which no
jeweler in st. Paul or Minneapolis can boast.
1t is an excellent timekeeper and of the very
best workmanship. Mr.. Williams occupies
No. 213, South Main, with Druggist Scott,
and has hardly sufficient room for his large
stock, the store not being deep. He keeps
well selected stock of watches, clocks, jew
elry, silver and plated ware, and you can
purchase them for cash. Williams thinks
he can knock the spots off any thing in this
region for repairing, but of course they all
do that. He has got well arranged window,
but the big clock ON the outside, and by
which the time can be learned as far as
seen, will readily show where F. Williams
holds forth.
W.. F. STEIN.
Here we find a model establishment, the
store being about 120 feet long, and the
four show cases display the stock to the best adj
vantage. He occupies the store with King
Bros. druggists. His stock is larger than
any in the city, and very few in eli Their st.
Paul or Minneapolis carry such heavy lines.
His show cases, not only the whole length of
the counter, but along the walls and across
the ends show much taste in their display,
and the rich gold and silver goods are seen
to advantage on the black velvet background.
His stock comprises gold and silver watches,
clocks of all sizes and dim nsions, plated
and sllverware, jewelry, and everything else
kept in any such an establishment in the
state. He has finely arranged window, and
many stand to see the beauties theNin dis
played. In few days his stock will be
larely increased, as he intends to keep up
with the times.
j. Caesar, who is at the corner of Chestnut
and Main streets, has a good stand, and
being on the corner has an extra large
amount OF window space, the corner Of the
store being supported by pillar. Mr.,
Caesar carries good stock. and one of his
upright show cases shows the goods inside to
better advantage than any of the other
establishments. He keeps a full line of
watches, clocks, jewelry, and other fancy
goods. Here, as in all the other establish
ments, repairing is done. He occupies half
of the store with Mr.. Lull, bookseller and
newsdealer.
Thus it may be seen that the wealthy can
supply themselves with everything that heart
can crave in the shape of ornamental and
useful articles, costing large sums, whilst
the poor can also be suited, and all accord
ing to their means. We believe that we
have honest jewelers., and what they say OF
an article will be found to be so. No use in
leaving the city to get what they can supply,
because, if you buy away from home, the
dealer can give you just what he pleases, as
he never expects to see you again, and will
make all he can out of you, but these men
are here to stay, and, for their own protec-
ton, their guarantee may be relied upon.
We Will continue our wanderings, and will
let our readers know what we have seen.
