passing up Market street last Wednes-
day, he stopped in Samuel II. Bay
nard's jewelry and musical instrument
establishment, at Southwest corner of
Fifth and Market streets, and found
him and his clerks, as usual, busy in
attending to number of customers.

Thanksgiving night eight yt
Mr.. Baynard had formal in

Council, city officials and few il

? served on the second floor. The q
all joined in wishing Mr.. Baynard
' | greatest success in his new ventul
: and time has shown that these wish,
D have been realized. 1t is, eight year.
D tomorrow since the place. was opened
/ to the public and the business has
r steadily increased from year to year so
IS that now it is far beyond that of any
r one in the same line in this state. The

J. stock of mems and ladies' gold and
l. silver watches, chains, diamonds and
!, in fact everything pertaining to this
}. branch of the business, while the other
e side is filled with the largest, best and
It finest stock of silverware ever shown
n in this state, and equalled by that OF
J. but few firms in Philadelphia. On ac-
d count of the general prosperity this
d year, and in anticipation of doing a
If much larger holiday trade than ever
i before, Mr.. BaynaTd has secured this
h immense stock and is now prepared ia
Il, accommodate all who favor him with
~ their patronage.
W The second and third floors are de-
g. voted exclusively to musical instru
d ments. One room was sufficient al
as first to accommodate this branch o
e. the business, but the excellence of tbs
10 instruments which he handles, soon
err became known, and about a year ago
to he was obliged to take the third floor
" which had been used as a store room
as for this purpose. Every instrumen
er sold by Mr. Baynard is warranted for
in term of years, and he will see that tn
be guarantee is fulfilled in every instance
gh Some of the best and most renowned
in makers in this country are representa-,
ng in the musical department. as Mr.. Bay
ok nard's invariable rule, which pervade
ed the entire establishment, is to hav
no nothing but the best that can be Oh
les tanned.
til The fourth floor is used as a iewelr
of manufacturing room, and number c
first-class wOrkmen are kept busy
making and repairing jewelry, badge
and other articles. Mr.. Baynard make
of specially of the badge business
ast and is prepared to make badge
IN. of any order or association in exis
m ence.
he Some of the machines of this roo
led are marvels of ingenious mechanism
de and this is especially true of that o
~ which the engraving is done. Wit
nd the aid of this wonderful machine, th
ne artist is enabled to engrave any nam

dly There is no seer ct in the mann

ach fair dealing and selling at reasonab
