To AN INDULGENT PUBLIC:

To AN INDULGENT PUBLIC:
We do not propose to
write you a Lecture. Sermon, or
Essay ON the fraiities of Human
nature, but wish to have a con-
fidential chat with you on that
subject, as far as it is connected
with the Watch and Jewelry bus
mess. When we first started in
this business in the spring of
1875, it was with high hopes
and high and holy desire to do
Justice to all both in good sold,
work repaired and to reap a pc
caniary reward, sufficient to help
US oyer the rough places of life,
In our short experience of ap-
premiership previous to that
time zoe did not ci0im, 10 know
it all, hut expected at all times
to keep a practical and reliable
journeyman But alas! How
quick the tide turned. A few
watches stopped, perhaps from
the neglect of the owners. it
might have been our fault. Soon
it was said by some '.that boy
is not fit to fix q watch;'' why 1
bought watch key from him
and my watch stopped the next
day, ifnot, this, Just such unreas-
enable remarks drove away the
large trade of my predecessor,
then my journeyman had to go.
Then there aUds trouble in the
jewelry store. Youth and mex
perience battling with the cold
heartless world. Many, except
some steadtast friends ready to
fulfil the old adage, ''When a
man commences to go down hill
give him o kick" But with firm
belief that truth and right would
prevail I held ON with a pluck
and energy that had it been ap-
piled to other business or other
places, would have enabled me
to count my dollars by the thous.
ands instead of hundreds. But
the past has gone and cannot
be retrieved. Thirteen years
have nearly passed away, and
with the struggles and triumphs
of business here and in the trade
work shop Of Phila, I find that
l have dearly bought the exper.
fence that now enables me to
say am competent to put in
good order any work that you
may leave with me. | devised
q Watchmakers Record for my
own use but conceived the idea
of placing it on the market for
sale Attempting to do this I
found / was unable to meet the
requirements of my increasing
trade, so called from the city my
f0rmer helper Mr.. WIN. Shep-
.pard, who is too well known to
need any recommendation from
me as this is hin native place. he
worked at the business here for
three years, aud several months

future patronage of all, assuring
you that ali work will be done

surance due on the large stock OF manufac-
tured tobacco belonging to the firm Of Ar

was destroyed by fire some months ago. a
notice OF which appeared in this paper at the
time.
The amount involved and the difficulties
of ascertainBg what was the exact sum for
which the companies were liable under their
policies invested the case with considerable
interest, c. specially in insurance circles.
The insurance upon the tobacco aggre-
gated $4,000, but the policies provided that
10 case Of loss tbe amount 10 be paid should
not exceed the actual cash value Of The pro-
Deltg, which should he determined by the
cost of replacing the articles as Of the day OF
the fire.
The assured claimed total loss, which the
companies denied, and so appraisers were
selected 10 ascertain what amount the COM
panles we're obliged 70 pay.
The appr Users not only disagreed as 10 the
amount Of the loss. but a. to the proper
method Of ascert8ining u; the appraiser for
the companies insisting that The actual cost
OF replacement should determine Il, while
the appraiser for the assured claimed that
other items should enter into the computa.

arose between their two estimates.

the companies were liable namely, first, the
