Jewelry Store
Radiant with the Christmas Spirit
It is an all-the-year-round Jewelry Storecomplete, dis
tinctive and specialized yet with certain advantages which
come to this business as a whole. These advantages show both
in the character of the jewelry and silver and in the prices at
which they are sold.
It is a store universal in its helpfulness. Its doors are
open to all; and its safeguards protect all. It has some things
not to be found in the same completeness in any New York
Jewelry Store notably the old English silverware; it has every
thing that a good Jewelry Store should have.
