ROBERT s GARDNER OF DERBY.
AsrccrssrrL ulsrNhss MAN

The Ncwtowu fricnd3 of RrborL S. Gardner will be interested In the follow ing sketch of hjs career, taken from thc Souvenir History of Derby and shelton Mir Gardner isa summer vi,uor among us.
 Prominent among the energetic bu# ness men and public spirited citizens of Derby Is Robert <. Gardner, the leading jewcler and stationrr. 1T" was born In East Hampton, l.. | February [, 1867, and his ancestors figured prominently in the affairs of colonial times, six of his ancestors having served in the Rcvolu. tlOn. He Is n son of samuel Nj. C trduer, who removed to Birmingham whoa the subject of this sketch was but two years old. After rcccivinga practical edura- tiOn young Gardner, at the age of l7, entered the store of ]. k. Brierly by whom he was employed for nIuc months. At the end of that time MT Gardner bought out the bankrupt stock of his uN successful predecessor and engaged in brslness for him self. Although but IS years of age when he entered the busi ness arena his natural ability soon show 0 itself, and from a small start his readi, ness to adapt himself to circumstances became a strong factor in his success By close attention to business he improv- ed, his stock and increased his trade. With the growth of his store improve ments have gradually been made to the interior. From the result of care full management and honorable dealings the establishment has grown to that of the largest jewelry and stationery house in this vicinity. The stand is an old one, having been in existence for the past 25 years. In the way of iewelry, the store conducted by Mir Gardner is to this city what Tiflany's is to New York--a head quarters for all that is useful, Ornamens tal, dainty and delicate in iewelry, silver ware, watches, diamonds and precious stones. This store ia the local sales room of the Detby Silver Company, and the many handsome designs in silverware made at the factory of this local com- pany are to be seen here. Mir Gardner Is agent for the celebrated Gorman sterl- ing silver goods, SO we'll known by repu- tation. All grades of American and for eIgn watches are also to be found here, while two expert watchmakers are em- ployed. The optical department Is al- SO we'll patronized. As MT Gardner is graduate of the New York 0pthalmic schonl ylasaea ara lifted tp the eves under truly scientific principles.
 The stationery department furnishes the patrons of the store with all the high grade goods, including engraved cards, Invltaflous, etc., blenk books of every aaFealptl0n and Ehe latgeaA ledgers for

Anyone can get more Individuality out of our Silk and Ores Goods departments than from any other source. One of the bright particular charms of these s"- trctlons is the ability to make fashion- able success out of anything than can b" chosen; possibilities unlimited rather than Iiujud.
 Lynsdown, ia oacr more coming to the front. WIth tn, growing popularity for smooth finish and Iu-1rouS tahrsc4 they are rapidly failing into line with the other fine goods.
 Besides the plain co1orings, such a~
