well known jeweler. In conversatio,
not long ago, contrasted the present re-
sources OF the trade ss against those OF
thirty TO forty years ago. in former
times" he said, 'the wealthy ladies were
not 80 easily supplied with ornaments as
they are in those days. TO get a single
stone WAS not difficult, but tho collection
of gems for n necklace or for
an ornament for the hair Was q matter
that required TINA and shrewdness.
No jewsler then carried sufficiently
large stock OF gems to please very finical
people, or to fill an order for very costly
ornament composed OF different stones;
but nowadays the leading jewelers. can
sati fy the most diverse tastes in precious
stones from their stock, and can meet in
short time the requirements OF the most
extravagant order"
