~ Il is now a matter of trifie over
100 years since Nehemiah Dodge
established himself as goldsmith
and jeweler in a little shop on North
Main street, Providence, on the es-
of Roger Williams, the founder OF the
colony
From that humble beginning has
grown the wealthy industry OF to-day
that has made the names of Providence
and Attleboro synonymous with the
word jewelry
Ii was In the year 1884 that Dodge
opened his establishment At first he
was only a watch and clock maker. He
soon branched out. however, and be-
sides the repairing of timepieces. he
began the manufacture of gold neck
laces, gold rings, and some fancy jew
elry, all Is karat fine.
Dodge was a real genius and soon
becoming convinced that this class OF
goods had rather narrow field, being
confined To the wealthy alone, he be-
gan experimenting and soon produced
a crude form OF gold plate.
The manufacture of jewelry from
this material proved TO be a complete
success from it's inception and resulted
IN establishing the fame of Nehemiah
Dodge as the pioneer manufactures of
cheap jewelry i'm America.
The field proved 10 be broad one
and other manufacturers sprang up
and entered into competition. Dodge.
however. continued To hold "A large
share of the trade and was forced to
enlarge his establishment on several
occasions to meet the demands of his
customers
MADE A FORTUNE.
He continued i'm business until 1926
and at his retirement is said to have
accumulated $4,000, an immense fort

To term it,
Could Nehemiah Dodge return 10
this life for a few days and take a walk
through the iewery section OF Provi-
dence he would be amazed and dumb
founded
He would see building after building
devoted TO this industry alone. He
would see hundreds OF manufacturers
and thousands of employees And he
would see iewelry manufactured from
materials unknown i'm his day.
And this amaZement on the part Of
old Nehemiah would not be at all
strange for certainly the business has
grown out OF all proportion since his
time.
According to the records. the jewelry
manufactured i'm Providence i'm the
year 1890 consisted OF 100 pairs OF sill
Yer buckles. f400 pairs OF plated buck
les and so dozen Silver spoons of vari-
Gus sizes.

Consequent upon the growth OF this
industry and the successful compet-
tion with manufacturers of other coun-
tries. the local manufacturers have be
gun to branch out and a large export
trade has become established.
Agents were sent To the different coun-
tries TO gather knowledge as TO the hab-
it's. customs. and prospective purchas-
ing power of the inhabitants ana the
manufacturers immediatelv began to
cultivate this new field of trade.
During the past decade a splendid
field for export has been opened up
in this way. until at the present time
the amount of trade with foreign coun-
tries has assumed considerable proper
tions and the local jewelers. are contin-
ually adding To their lists of customers
in distant lands.
Naturally one of the first sections To
be opened to the export trade was South
America and the trade with that coun-
try has been constantly increasing un-
nj at the present time the manufact-
urers of Providence and vicinity are
we'll represented in that field.
In this section for several years
goods manufactured from silver formed
the bulk OF the expectations. Later,
however gold plated goods were In
troduced and met with favor lminedl-
ately At the present time thousands
Of gross of this class OF goods are sent
to the South American market each
wear and find ready sale.
There are between 30 and 40 manu-
facturers in this section who do what
is called "A direct business in the eN-
nnrting line: but for the most part the
manufacturers are not Known IN the
transaction. for the goods are placeo

EXCELLENT WORKMANSHIP
This export trade is due to several
causes. but primarily To- the fact that
American supremacy is recognized IN

division of labor and the employment

A REVIVAL. OF BUSINESS.

Almost without exception the feeling
seems 70 be that a new era is opening
and that a revival of the trade Of for
mer DAYS Is at hand. To be sure, this
revival is not expected 10 come all at
once but from the statements made il
is very evident that IL is coming and
that the fall trade will be large one.
That the manufacturers think so is
certain, Tor they are all making extern
sive preparations TO handle a large
business and they report that the feel
ing throughOut the country Is better,
that there are more inquiries and that
the orders that are being received are
much more generous than for year or
more past.
This is particularly true of the West
and the dealers in that section are al
ready beginning 10 feel the effect of the
return of good times and are sending
in large orders.
Mr. Nathan Il. Barton, the treasurer
Of the Ostby and Barton Company, u1e
well-known manufacturers of gold rings,
stated that in his opinion there was to
be revival Of the jewelry business and
by fall he expected the trade viii have
opened up throughout the country.
GOOD TIMES IN THE WEST.
The hard times had started in the
Eas; and had spread to the West, and
il is the latter place that the good times
are being first felt. He expects Hat
these good times are 10 spread TO the
East and already from the far West an-
nearer his firm is receiving some OF
the best orders il has received for a
year or more
Mr. Barton stated that he had been
asked to what he laid the business re-
vival and he had answered the question
by stating that n had always noticed
that good times had always come when
the Republicans were In power.
Naturally the West would feel the re-
turn OF prosperity first for the farmers
are enjoying most successful season;
and when the farmers are prosperous,
the rest Of the country is bound 10 feel
the result.
Mr. Barton seemed 10 feel very con-
tident Of business revival and said
that his firm was making preparations
for such. He stated il as his belief that
during the next four years the manu-
featuring jewelers. would make a great
deal of money.
or course there will be some who may
not do SO. but they would not make
money under any circumstances. The
great bulk OF the manufacturers who
are in condition 20 do the business and
who are careful as TO the details viii
have most excellent chance.
GETTING READY FOR y BOON.
Mr.. Francis T.. Bates who is asso-
ciated with Foster a. Bailey, was an
other who thinks the revival Of business
Is at hand and his firm Is making prep
arations 20 get their share Of 1t when
IL arrives.
This firm manufactures large va
riety Of goods OF both gold and silver
and they do direct trade with this
and foreign countries. The business has
been showing signs OF a steady Increase
of late and the prospects uf large
fail trade are certainly nattering.

Company. r. L. Griffith & Son and Pot
ter d Burlington.
For the ordinary line OF this class OF
goods the sale is now almost wholly
confined 10 the South and the export
trade but for the finer lines. including
diamond ear drops, there is a large
home consumption.
The facility with which a collar but
ton loses itself is pleasing thing to
the manufacturers of this class OF
goods and there are many among the
Providence jewellers.
Among them are several who have
been previously enumerated. and there
are yet others who make a speciality of
these goods and are working under a
patnet that has been extensively adver-
tised. Among this latter class is the
firm of Parks Brothers and Rogers.
This firm has been i'm business but a
few years. but in that time they have
established a trade that radiates into
every country
