elry store at 574 Commercial street,
has won a reputation that has brought
him what Is perhaps the best trade In
the city. After l6 years experience in
the large jewelry and Matchmaking
stores OF San Francisco and Portland.
Mr.. Donnerberg came 10 Astoria and
opened a small place at ITO Eleventh
street, eonhning himself largely to
repairing watches, and carrying a
small stock Of jewelry and watches.
His customers found him good
matchmaker and discovered they were
given fair treatment and patronized
him liberally enabling him to in
crease his stock rapidly. Mr.. Donner-
berg is a broad-minded business man,
and his up-todate stock includes all
the newest styles which he purchases
from New York and San Francisco
wholesalers, and his establishment is
a credit to the city.
