William HeIlbsrs Comments on Bus.
iness Of the Year 1912, Which in
Many Ways Has Been a Record
ereaksr-soms Facts About He'll
ber9's Business Experience.

Serving the public and it's needs for
seventeen years satisfactorily is the
best indication Of success in business.
That is the record Of William He'll
berg, jeweler, and is record of which
any merchant may be justly proud.
aMy success in business" said Mr.
Hellberg, has been largely due, no
doubt. to many, years Of early train
ing, which has fitted me to conduct
the watch and jeWeiry business in
proper manner. Few jewelers. have had
such thorough training, especially in
the watch departm ent. The long
schooling as acquired under the
tutelaSe of MASTER Watchmakers of
Europe is most thorough and qualities
the student for the most difficult and
careful work known to the profession"
Sew jewellers have ever had the OPP
portunfty to learn the work I have"
said Mr. Hellberg, mot alone in watch
making, but in jewelry manufacture.
1t has been a lifes work with me be-
gun when a mere boy, and continued
turnout my lifetime. The jeweler of
today, as a rule, has acquired his
knowledge from employment at the
bench or behind the counter OF the
American shop where he acquires
knowledge of the business from his
own efforts or from instruction he may
receive from his employer or from the
shop matchmaker. He does not under
go the years of hard work at the bench,
studying minutely every delicate part
of the watch, as carefully as the expert
botanist dissects the flbres Of plant.
Years of this work in the old coun-
try as an expert in matchmaking and
judging Of the best in gems and jew
elry, have equipped me to understand
the jewelry business as no ordinary
merchant or salesman could ever un-,
derstand it,"
For fifteen years our store has been
recognized as the best in central Iowa
"a shop where the best work is done,
the best goods displayed, and where
an expert opinion is always gladly
given
During these fifteen years we have
enjoyed excellent patronage" contin-
ued MIR. Hellberg, but never has any
year exceeded that of 1912. Some idea
Of the immense business done in this
store Is shown in the sales of over two
thousand rings from the small plain
ring to the finest diamond. Also near
ly five hundred watches have gone out

BY no means the least Of the many
pleasing prospects for Marshalltown,
enumerated in the pages Of this issue,
is the growing spirit Of corporation
among the retail merchants, due most
ly to the closer association. thru the
organization of the Marshalltown Club,
and evidenced by concerted move-
ment on the part of sixteen representa-
tive firms who have arranged to hold
their January clearing sales during a
uniform ten day period, from Jan. s
to the 18th.
The lines represented in this move
ment embrace hardware, furniture,
shoes, clothing, dry goods and ready
to-wear, and the advantage of these

NOT DULL TIMES IN SALEM.

Business is every line has been re,
makably good this summer in Salem.
That the people of Salem and vicinity
are very prosperous is proven. A few
days ago Reinhart 5 Shoe Store heard
from Mr.. Reinhart, Sr., now in the
eastern markets, buying fall footwear
for this very progressive Salem institu-
tion. He states that conditions are
somewhat backward in the east, but
from statements made by the Reinhart
Bros, in charge of the store, their bust
ness shows 25 per cent gain over last
years business, their fiscal year ending
July /. Judging from the crowds at
tending their big cleanup sale, it seems
that Salem and vicinity are still pros
porous. Boost for Salem, it's the best
spot on earth.
