S.J. PETTY

Kent Street, Lindsay, Ontario


S.J. Petty, Watchmaker and Jeweller, and Dealer in Precious Stones, Kent Street, next to the Daly House. — In the general advance that has been made in most branches of trade in recent years, that of jewellery has undergone a substantial development, and constitutes a very important item in our commercial pursuits. A popular establishment devoted to this pursuit in Lindsay is that of Mr. S. J. Petty, who conducts a thriving business as a watchmaker and jeweller, and dealer in precious stones. This business was originally started by Messrs. Davies & Petty, but for the last two years it has been under the sole management of the latter gentleman. His store is admirably located on Kent Street, and is 11x60 feet in dimensions, and as regards interior arrangements is tastefully furnished with plate-glass show cases and cabinets, and contains a large, varied and well selected assortment of fine jewellery in all the new styles, and rich, elegant, unique designs embracing all those articles for use or ornament, including gold and silver watches of well-known makers in Europe and America ; also French, Swiss and American clocks, diamonds and other precious stones, solid silver and plated-ware, eye-glasses and spectacles and opera glasses, and an endless array of fancy articles, which would be appropriate for wedding presents and for gifts on all occasions. Mr. Petty gives special attention to the repairing of watches and clocks, and also manufactures jewellery to order in all styles and designs, all work being executed in the most efficient and satisfactory manner. Mr. Petty was born in Northumberland county, in this Province, in 1851, and has had a long and varied experience in the jewellery trade, in which he is thoroughly practical. All goods purchased at his establishment are warranted in all cases to be as represented.

J.T.A. GAUCHER

2520, St. Catherine Street East, Montreal


On the afternoon of July 21 a man drove up in an automobile to the jewelry store of Mrs. J. T. A. Gaucher at 2520 St. Catherine St., E. Entering the store he asked to be shown some diamond rings. Mrs. Gaucher showed him a pad containing six rings valued at $450, which he snatched and made for the door, where two confederates were on the lookout. The three dashed to the automobile in which two other men were seated. They were followed by A. Lamothe, a clerk employed in the store, who seized hold of the man with the rings and endeavored to draw him back. The bandit shook himself free and drawing a revolver pointed it at Lamothe and pulled the trigger twice but the cartridges failed to explode. The gang jumped into the car and escaped.
