New Orleans Police Crusade Against "Fake" Jewelers
New Orleans, La., Dec. 22.–For some time the police of this city have been after "fake" jewelry dealers, as complaints from parties who were swindled by this class of sharks have been numerous. In many cases the swindlers have not been caught up with, as the parties who bought the bogus stuff were unable to state whether the articles they purchased were represented to them to be genuine.
A few days ago, however, one of these sharks was arrested, and was convicted on the long charge. Abe Reigler complained to Chief Gaster that a few days ago he called at the store of Philip Leiber, 171 S. Rampart St., and purchased some jewelry for $16.15. He claimed that the stuff was represented to him to be gold, but he subsequently ascertained that it was brass. When brought before the recorder, Leiber could make no defense and he was fined $25 or 30 days for being a dangerous and suspicious character.

Albert Lewis Cronenberg Gives His Life to His Country While Fighting with the Marines
New Orleans, La., Aug. 1—Albert Lewis Cronenberg, formerly engraver with A. B. Griswold & Co., Ltd., and son of Carl Cronenberg, a jeweler on Magazine St., near the Jefferson market, was the first hero and victim of the war from the trade in New Orleans. He was killed in France June 13.
Young Cronenberg, answered the call of America by enlisting in the Marine Corps, May 5, 1917. He was only 21 years of age. It is supposed that he was killed during the fighting at Chateau Thierry.
On May 31 the employes of the Griswold establishment received a letter from the young soldier acknowledging the receipt of a Christmas package and saying how much he had enjoyed the cigarettes.
While there are a number of the jewelry trade of New Orleans serving in the army and navy young Cronenberg was the first to fall and his death caused considerable sorrow as he was very popular with his co-workers.

HART JEWELRY Co.
Common and Baronne Streets, New Orleans
Death of Judah Hart
Judah Hart, a widely known jeweler and one of the pioneer retailers of New Orleans, La., died suddenly Wednesday evening at his residence at 119 E. 56th St., New York. Mr. Hart, though 79 years old, was hale, hearty and active, and enjoyed the best of health until a few moments before his death. Wednesday evening at dinner he showed no signs of illness, but a short time after, while sitting with his son. Morris, he suddenly put his hands to his face and became unconscious. Death ensued shortly afterward, and is believed to have been caused by apoplexy.
The deceased was as well known among the jewelry trade of New York as in New Orleans. He was born in Plymouth. Eng., in February, 1819. and as a boy was apprenticed in the gold refining and assaying trade. When about 13 years old he came to New York, and after spending some time there, engaged in several lines of business in the cities of Cincinnati and New Orleans. He went to California in 1849. and from there to St. Louis, finally returning to New Orleans. Forty years ago he started in the retail jewelry business in New Orleans, opening his first store on St. Charles St.. opposite the Academy of Music. The business was Prosperous and grew, and Mr. Hart continued it in that city ever since. After the surrender of New Orleans during the Civil War he went north and took a residence in Now York, where he has lived since 1864. The business, however, was carried on in the former city without change, and this as well as Mr. Hart's other interests in the south have been conducted of late years by his two sons, Morris and Samuel J. Hart.
Few men not actually engaged in the jewelry business of New York were better known or more generally liked in the "Lane" than was Mr. Hart, who numbered among his intimate friends many of the most prominent members of the trade. For the past 30 years Mr. Hart has visited London every Spring, and was arranging to take again his annual trip when called away. In London he was also well and favorably known, almost as much so as in New York and New Orleans. Mr. Hart's popularity was in great part due to his kindly and genial disposition, his love of company and the jolly atmosphere he seemed to diffuse among his associates. He was in the strictest sense a family man, and was a member of no clubs or fraternities. As a business man he was greatly respected for his good judgment, keen penetration and the high standards of commercial honesty and integrity to which he strictly adhered.
Mr. Hart was married 54 years ago, and survived his wife by nine years. Of the 11 children born to them, but three survive, one daughter. Mrs. Winchell. and the two sons who carry on the business. The funeral services, which were held Sunday morning at his late residence, were largely attended, many representatives of the diamond trade of New York being present. Interment was in Cypress Hills Cemetery.

Canal Street, New Orleans
Miller Bros., Canal St., had the benefit of a free advertisement April 23 when a crowd of about 5,000 persons gathered in front of their store. The attraction was "Bill" Strother, the human spider, who climbed the Macheca building in which Miller Bros, are located. The climb was in the interest of the Victory Loan.

Miller Bros., Canal St., have established a clever arrangement to aid buyers seeking a suitable present. They call it the "Gift Shop." In a handsome little room in the rear of the store are arranged a complete line of "Gifts that Last." There are shelves of hollow ware, flat ware, ivory, and cut glass all arranged so that one can see them just by turning around and looking. The room is as attractive as the wares exhibited.

JOSEPH MILLER
New Orleans
Joseph Miller, a jeweler, had the experience of being near death recently. He went to sleep in a room at his home where there is a gas meter that requires 25 cents to replenish the supply. The gas was on in his room and the supply ran out and, of course the light went out. Then some one dropped a coin in the meter and the meter started to work again. Of course Mr. Miller was asleep all the while and as no one lit the gas in his room, he would have slept forever had not the landlady discovered the odor of gas and rescued him.
