JEWELRY DEPARTMENT.

JEW ELR1 DEPARTMENT.
1t is seldom that in a town the size
of Caldwell one can find as complete
jewelry store as is conducted here. The
stock is most complete and shows care
and artistic taste in its selection. There
is a fine variety Of watches, jewelry,
clocks, silverware and bric-a-brac. all
of which is offered at prices which can
not be obtained in larger towns. This
is especially true as regards his stock of
diamonds. which is a feature at this
store. There is a full line of optical
goods, Mr.. ConRor being a graduate
optician. Patrons can rely on having
their eyes accurately fitted. Much Of
the success of this department is due
to Mr.. C0nnOr. who labOrs increasingly
to please patrons. His twanty-one
years experience at the bench makes
him an expert in practical work. Re
pairs are promptly executed.
Dr. Gabbert, the proprietor, is a ma
tive MssOurian. He was educated in
the public schools, and afterwards at
tended the VIM. Jewell college at Lib
erty. Selecting medicine as his life's
profession he began its study, and later
entered the Jefferson Medical college of
Philadelphia, the most noted of its
kind, and was graduated in 1882. The
doctor first began practice in Kansas
City, where he remained until 1884,
when he came to Caldwell. Here he
followed his profession exclusively I'M
