tic ware ever made in this section Of the
country lis management, By Mr. August
Viewer, is giving more than complete salts
faction TO the company. Mr.. Weyer, an
afiable aud accommodating gentleman, ia
q Frenchman by birth, and for some years
was engaged in the glass business at Lyons,
on the Rhone. Over twenty years ago he
came to Brooklyn in the interest OF large
French glass company TO estabIishs a branch
mandatory of the noted Sabastie chin
nev. He afterwards established similar
factory in one of the Southern States.
The superior quality of the work done at
Brilliant con be best seen by an examina
ton of the product. One entering the Of
fee ia struck with the rare beauty and at
traciiveness of the wares that are on eXhi-
hilton. The many different shapes,
adorned with quite variety OF cOlors that
are made to fade gently into each other,
presents scene that long entettains the
eye OF the spectator. Shape and color 90
hand in hand in making varieties that will
please the artistic eve Globes, domes
and lamp shades are made specially,

squat, crown, three-CorGer crown, high.

the colors in their various nnts and shades
The union Of two or more cOlors to pro
duce another more beautiful than either Is
one Of the daily difficult tasks. The ruby

green, old gold opalescemt and opal are
deEcately united aEd combined to form al
most any ombiuGtion the Imagination can
picture. The rose-opal-tlashed or

The product Of globes and shades is
about equal, amounting to six hundred
dozen Of each per week while that Of
domcs Is near four hundred dozen in the
came time. The popularity OF this pro-
duct il attes,ed by the ready sele it cor.
mands. Orders are increasing every day,
and for some time the product has been
less than the demand although quite
enough to dctract very materially from the
comior; of the manager Of the packing de-
partment.

the glory holes where the fine ware Is
made. At times, when this proves Insult.

terislly in making product Of superior
quality. The finest ware is made by ioar-
teen Frenchmon, who accompanied the
