wisest selection of presents for all occasions. An up-to-date jeweler is indispensable in every
community of taste and refinement and one whose work shows marked skill is sure of a liberal
patronage. The people in this community are in no way behind in this respect and the generous
patronage extended to this store shows the appreciation of his efforts.
The stock has been selected with rare judgment and includes everything necessary to
conduct a modern jewelry store and consists of the leading makes of watches, clocks, silverware
and an extensive variety of jewelry. Although a somethat new store here, it is an asset to the
community and is well deserving of your patronage.

jewelry that you thought worthless because a clasp had been broken or a missing part, take it to
them and it will be repaired to your satisfaction.
