Re: Sticks, Whips, Canes, Parasols, and Umbrellas
The parasols this Summer are fascinating and carry out in their decoration many of the ideas introduced in the smartest gowns. Appliqués of lace are more in evidence than fluffy frills of chiffon, and transparent effects are very modish. Hand embroidery and cut-out designs of velvet are included in the ornamentation of these essentially feminine conceits. The handles in many instances are works of art and vary greatly in length and design. An interesting feature of the new parasols is that they are apt to be suitable for almost every occasion, the decorations being less fluffy though rich in effect. A black moiré silk parasol trimmed with three rows of cream guipure appliqué, with the handle, of gun metal, is unusually smart, while another example is of white crépe de Chine, with appliqués of fine black lace in a delicate feather design. The tiniest of black paillettes glisten over the lace incrustations, and the white enamelled handle is finished at the top with a graceful feather of carved ebony. Two-toned parasols are quite the newest fancy, an example of rare attractiveness having the top of black and white striped silk and the lower part of tucked red silk. Pongee parasols are also stylish. A novelty for the golf lover is the parasol made of red taffeta with a border of green panne. The automobile parasol is another novelty, though it differs but slightly from the regular coaching style, the stick being heavier in the new design.

WILLIAM MASON & CO., WHOLESALE UMBRELLA AND SUNSHADE MANUFACTURERS (FOR HOME AND EXPORT),
19, FRIDAY STREET, AND 69, NEWTON STREET, PICCADILLY, MANCHESTER.
HE is said to have been a brave man who first ate an oyster, and while we do not for a moment gainsay the assertion, we are inclined to claim an equal share of credit for the man who first carried an umbrella in public. It must have needed a stout heart and sturdy independence to withstand the gibes and jeers of the irrepressible street urchins, backed by the more serious hostility of the hackney coachmen and Sedan chairmen, who foresaw in this new method of defying the elements a large diminution in their trade. Men have faced death on the battlefield who would not dare to exploit a new fashion or lead the way with a new and extraordinary custom; and if worthy Jonas Hanway really did (as many believe) first carry an umbrella in the streets of London, he is assuredly entitled to all the renown that such a hazardous achievement can bestow upon his name. The “whirligig of Time” has wrought changes in this as in other matters, and nowadays he is the man of courage (and of foolhardiness forsooth) who dares to go far without an umbrella in the marvellous climatic conditions under which our land exists at the present day. To the man and the woman of the modern age, the umbrella (and with it its dainty offspring, the sunshade) is as indispensable as any established article of personal attire, and as umbrellas and sunshades have undoubtedly “come to stay,” it follows that those who engage extensively in their manufacture hold a very important place in the industrial community, and exercise no small influence in the social world besides. As an example in point we may mention the well-known Manchester house of Messrs. William Mason & Co.
No firm of umbrella and sunshade manufacturers is more widely or more favourably known, and none has gained more honourable renown by its efforts to make the umbrella of to-day a vast improvement upon its ungainly prototype of a hundred years ago. This house, although founded as recently as the year 1887 by its present esteemed principal, has made wonderful advance strides since then, and has established itself among the leaders of the trade in Manchester. Its progress was greatly aided at the very first by the prompt introduction of a genuine and interesting novelty — a waterproof or rain-repellent parapluie, which bears the appropriate name of the “Augur Rain-Repellent Umbrella.” This umbrella (which Messrs. Mason have protected by registration) is made in a variety of qualities, the coverings being in alpacas, dagmars, and glorias; and the material is rendered waterproof by a peculiar preparation and process by which the outward appearance of the fabric is unaltered. In this waterproofing lies the special feature of the new umbrella, and it certainly, meets a requirement that has long been urgent, for now we can be entirely freed from the inconvenience of having to enter trains or trams (or, to be more emphatic, of having other people enter such public conveyances), armed with a dripping umbrella that is a menace to everyone in its vicinity. On giving the “Augur” umbrella a slight shake the rain-drops fall off it immediately, like water off the proverbial duck’s back, and the result is satisfactory alike to the bearer of the umbrella and to those whose lot it is to sit or stand in close proximity to him.
Mr. Mason deserves the thanks of the public for this really excellent invention (which, by the way, has already been favoured with the sincere flattery of imitation), and we are not in- the least surprised that the introduction of the “Augur” umbrella should have greatly promoted the growth of this flourishing business. During the short period the new umbrella has been before the public a large and increasing demand for it has arisen, and we have no doubt whatever that this demand will be fully maintained, for the article only needs to become known to secure lasting popularity. Let it be distinctly understood that there is nothing at all in the appearance of the “Augur” umbrella to mark it as a new departure, so that no one need fear attracting undue attention by adopting it. The change is in the substance, not in the aspect, and the new umbrella is simply our old and well-tried friend, with all his merits enhanced by the evanishment of his defects.
Messrs. William Mason & Co. have now developed an immense business in every department of the umbrella and sunshade trade, and at the above address they occupy spacious and admirably appointed premises, where they employ upwards of one hundred hands in the various processes of a highly interesting industry. Here we find the best methods and materials in use, and goods of splendid value are turned out in all grades and at all prices. Wonderful indeed is the variety of “sticks” called into requisition, from the elegant cane of Malacca to the pimento-wood of the West Indies, while orange and olive sticks from Spain and Algiers, cherry-wood of delicious scent from the Danube, and bamboo from the Flowery Land apparently retain the favour they have so long enjoyed in the fashionable world. As to the handles and heads with which the sticks are ornamented, their variety is well-nigh infinite, and all the skill and ingenuity of French, German, and English designers and artizans seem to be concentrated in an especial degree upon the production of novelties in this line.
Messrs. Mason’s stock of umbrellas and sunshades is representative of every new idea and every standard type known in the trade, and one might fill a volume in describing the multitude of different styles and qualities displayed in their spacious show-rooms. One great point is ever prominent, and that is superiority of workmanship and finish. This we find in all the goods, not excepting the cheapest, and there can be no doubt that to this characteristic of their manufactures, the firm owe a very large measure of the success they have so rapidly achieved. There is always room for really good and reliable articles in every department of trade, and Messrs. Mason’s productions are finding a market in every quarter of the globe — a proof at once of the truth of this assertion and of the merit of these goods. Wholesale houses and shippers are supplied upon the most advantageous terms with every product of Messrs. Mason’s comprehensive industry, from the daintiest of fashionable sunshades or the costliest of ivory-handled and gold-mounted umbrellas down to the plainest and most utilitarian member of the multitudinous “Gamp” family; and the firm are displaying exemplary enterprise in the management of their steadily-increasing trade, the routine of which is facilitated by agencies in London, and also Ireland and Scotland. Every effort is made to give genuine satisfaction to the trade, both at home and abroad, and frequent and regular “repeat” orders from all parts show that patronage once bestowed upon this thoroughly reliable and well-conducted house has a tendency to be continuous. Mr. William Mason personally superintends the entire concern, and its conspicuous success stands as a high practical tribute to his ability, enterprise, and sound judgment.

WALMSLEY & SON
Victoria Buildings, Victoria Street, and 78, Market Street, Manchester
WALMSLEY & SON, UMBRELLA MAKERS, VICTORIA BUILDINGS, VICTORIA STREET AND 78, MARKET STREET, MANCHESTER.
Among the principal houses in Manchester engaged in its special line of business, conspicuous position is occupied by the old-established firm of Messrs. Walmsley & Son, of Victoria Buildings, Victoria Street, and 78, Market Street, the well-known umbrella makers. The inception of the business dates back to 1846, when Mr. Gaius James Walmsley came from London to Manchester, and commenced operations in this direction. He brought to bear a sound and practical knowledge of the trade, together with notable energy and perseverance, and he soon built up a permanent patronage, which has gone on steadily increasing during the whole time, until it is now one of the largest and most influential in this part of the country. The first premise's occupied were those at Market Street, but as the increase in the business necessitated further accommodation, the premises in Victoria Buildings were taken and made the headquarters of the house. Both establishments are ample in size and convenience, and comprise double-fronted shops, with capacious windows fully stocked with a well-selected variety of first-class umbrellas and walking sticks. The interior is fitted up in a complete and handsome style with every requisite for the display of the goods and the comfort of patrons.
The manufacturing department is situated away from the shops, and is fully equipped with the latest improved machinery and appliances necessary for the systematic and successful conduct of this important branch of industry. A large number of skilled operatives is employed, and the umbrellas turned out by this firm are acknowledged to have very few equals in the trade. They combine the essential features of strength and lightness with elegance of appearance. The materials used are waterproof and warranted fast colours, and the frames and sticks are of the best materials and embody the latest improvements and styles. As exponents of this class of business, the firm hold large and varied stocks, which intended purchasers should not fail to inspect. They have been chosen with an intimate acquaintance with the requirements of the public. They embrace some thousands of umbrellas of every style, shape and price, ranging from the cheapest article in ginghams to the most costly production in twilled silk, with patent frames and carved ivory or silver handles. An extensive choice is offered, and prices will be found of the most satisfactory nature.
The house also shows a fine assortment of gentlemen’s walking sticks and canes of every kind, including the latest and most approved styles in all the fancy woods, malaccas, ebony and bamboo, with horn, ivory or metal handles. The better class of these goods are admirably finished and are eminently adapted for presentation. A large and valuable trade is controlled with the principal inhabitants of Manchester and the suburbs and with the leading buyers throughout the north, and its continual increase speaks volumes for the quality of the goods offered. Mr. Gaius Mines Walmsley is ably assisted in the management by his son, Mr. Francis Walmsley, a gentleman who has spent the whole of his life in this particular business. Their close personal attention is given to the business, and all their transactions are conducted on the sound principles of equity and just dealing.

THIS business was established by the present proprietor in 1858, since which date it has steadily progressed under a sound and judicious system of management. The premises occupied are not very large, but they are compact and well-situated. The operations of the house consist in the manufacture of umbrellas of every description and in every kind of material. The manufacture embraces many specialities, notably umbrellas for artists, photographers, and for tent and garden use. A very important feature of the business consists in the re-covering and repairing of umbrellas, which are executed with neatness, promptitude and dispatch, and in this direction a large business is done. Mr. Smith was one of the first to recognise the suitability of light steel wire for umbrella frames. Up to that time whalebone was entirely in use. Mr. Smith has enjoyed a long and prosperous career, and the work turned out at his establishment to-day is unsurpassed by any other house in the trade. The premises consist of a single shop, which is exceedingly well-stocked, and there is a suitably-appointed workroom attached, where an efficient staff of skilled and experienced workmen is employed. A very extensive trade is controlled among a good and influential connection, which extends throughout the locality and surrounding neighbourhood. The business is well and ably conducted by the genial and courteous proprietor, and ranks among the foremost in the trade.

We note that the energetic, wide-awake jewelers are handling umbrellas more extensively than ever. Among the newest and most appropriate for the trade are the jewel- mounted umbrellas, The mountings are made principally in gold, with different colored stones set in the handles. These styles will be very popular this spring.
