G. L. Andrews. of the firm of
Bransford & Andrews, jewellers and
opticians of this city, went to Chi.
cago this week as delegate to the
National Jewellers Association IRON
Tennessee, also to take a course
in engraving under the celebrated
Richard o. Handler. Mr.. Andrews
will also be engaged while in the
city in selecting and buying wares
and articles suitable for the Christ
mas trade.
The gentlemen composing this
Arm succeeded Porter & Radebaugh
a few years ago. They were men
OF business character and standing,
and, by adopting the methods which
have been universally approved
throughout the business centers of
the country, have succeeded beyond
the scope of highest expectation.
They are liberal advertisers, not
injudicious, however, in the use Of
printers ink. They are courteous
and pleasant, attentive to their
custom, always in touch with the
latest and best articles on the mar
ket and thoroughly informed as to
the character of the product and
price Of same. These methods and
the knowledge attained in reaching
them have been applied closely in
the conduct of their business. No
pains or expense is spared in keep
ing thoroughly posted in the differ
ent branches of the business, hence
it is not difficult to fathom the secret
of Bransford & Andrews popular
ity and success.
Coextensive with these facts is
another which enters largely into
the foundation of their business
success. They are known as the
jewellers and opticians.
This means that they keep faith
with the customer. No article is
misrepresented and the price is as
low as good and safe business deal
ings will allow. This principle Is
adhered to without variation, and
the article and the price
can both be safely depended upon.
& Andrews announce to
their custom that the services of
two engravers will be employed dur
ing the holidays nd that every
article bought of them will be en-
grayed free of charge. They also
announce that more extensive line
