watch and chain for himself and a
scarf-pin, or finger ring, or shirt studs.
All these things are the little niceties
of life that gentlemen and ladies able
to afford them like to have. And,
again, is it not a duty to spend money
for such things when you can do SO,
when you have the money to spend for
something or other? The sale of such
goods gives multiplied thousands OF
people employment whereby they are
enabled to earn honest livclihoods for
themselves and families, and to edu'
cate their children and bring them up
MS good and honest men and women
in the world.
The emporium of all that il elegant
beautiful, choice, exquisite, superb and
valuable in the watch, clock, chains
jewelry, silverware and biiouterie line

variety and of all degrees of costliness

litest. courteous and agreeable atten'
ton, no matter what the nature or ex'
tent of your purchases may be: &c
