have gone to great expense. They have
prepared a handsome catalogue, and in

and endeavoerd to answer this question,
for their patrons all over the State. With
nearly forty years. experience as jewellers
and silyersmiths and with one Of the
largest and handsomest stores. of the
kind in the South, it is easy to understand
how Ii. Mahler's Sons can answer this
question most satisfactorily.

their superb catalogue just issued. 1t
is printed on heavy calendared paper,
handsomely illustrated and comprising
nearly 80 pages. 1t is the perfection

q price-list and guide to the purchaser, it
is full Of useful and interesting informa-
ton in regard to precious stones, the
cutting of diamonds and the manufac-
ture Of gold and silver were. 1t makes
