The intelligent buyer OF jewelry or
sllverware first considers quality. To
obtain high class goods he then rea-
sons that he Is dependent upon the
judgment and experience OF the dealer
from whom he buys. Two watch cases.
for instance. may appear identically the
same. and may both be made from
gold. II karat fine. yet one will wear
for a lifetime. while the other will be
almost worthless in a few years. The
difference is in the manipulation of the
gold in manufacture.
Thoroughly practical and familiar
with the process of manufacture Of

J.. ii. Leyson. the popular and pioneer
jeweler of this city. therefore offers mis-
patrons goods Of undisputed quality.

CATION conclusively proves that though

sary. for every one knows that there
is nothing in the West superior To IL.

therefore In advance OF other dealers.
At his season articles in sterling sill
yer occupy universal attention. owing
to the low price of bullion silver, prices
are very reasonable in manufactured
articles. Only a 1.-THE OF the many ar
ticles can here be mentioned. The stock
embraces everything from the modest
toilet article. at a few cents, To those
of the highest grade In the silver
smiths art. For a moderate purse, Mr..
Leyson shows a variety OF toilet and
work basket articles. combs and
brushes. umbrellas with artistic han
dies: garters, match boxes, etc. There

tiful window Is "A pair Of scales. in one
side Of which are three silver dollars
and in the other six Gorham sterling
silver teaspoons. full size, indicating
tina dollars are exchanged for actual
weight in silver. Mr.. Leyson does not
wish to convey the idea. however. that
all articles are sold by weight. as the
workmanship on man articles Is worth
far in excess OF the actual silver used.
In watches. diamonds. gold jewelry
and cut glassware, the stock Is more

tional value are offered I'm these lines.
