J.E. CHRYSLER
King Street, Brockville
J. E. Chrysler. Jeweler. King Street. - Within a comparatively few years the jewelry trade of Canada has been immensely developed, and if from no other standpoint now, than a merely a commercial one, we are prepared to compete with similar establishments in other parts of the world. Among those engaged in the jewelry trade in Brockville Mr. J.C. Chrysler, deserves a notice in a work of this kind. This gentleman, who is a thorough and experienced watchmaker and jeweller, began business on his own account in 1885, and by strict attention to business, and by fair and straight forward dealings he is already in possession of an excellent trade which is constantly increasing. The stock carried by Mr Chrysler is well selected, being of superior quality, and comprises diamonds, watches clocks, jewelry, silverplated ware, opera glasses and optical goods. The entire stock is bought for cash. The best markets are open to Mr. Chrysler, and with what other facilities he enjoys, he can compete most favourably with contemporary rival establishments. A speciality is made of repairing, and in addition Mr Chrysler is engaged in gold and silverplating, and whatever of an industrial character he devotes himself to, he turns out in a workmanlike manner Mr Chrysler is a Canadian, and has lived in Brockville during the past seven years. He is a young and enterprising gentleman, a keen and thorough man of business. He is widely known and generally popular, possessing many estimable qualities.

Coates, the senior member of the firm, and in 1876 he associated with him his brother, Mr. Willis Coates, who for more than ten years had been connected with leading wholesale jewelry establishments in Toronto. The premises the firm occupy, 60 x 25 feet in dimensions, comprise a massive building of which Mr. Wm. Coates is the proprietor. The stock carried is heavy and well-assorted, consisting of jewelery, watches, clocks, silverware and optical goods, and in addition they have a good line of stationery, books, albums, violins and music, of which Messrs, Coates & Bro,, owing to the facilities they enjoy, are enabled to sell at remarkably low prices. Some five years ago the firm commenced a jobbing trade in watches, jewelry, etc , and so assiduously and successfully has it been developed that it now extends from Quebec to Sarnia, This is the best recommendation as to the standing and reputation of this house, the members of which have by energy and perseverance, low prices and fair and honorable dealing acquired their present enviable position. Messrs. Coates & Bro are Canadians, having been born in Prescott ; and in Brockville, where they are widely known, they are held in much estimation for the possession of many estimable qualities.

Frank Green, a flim-flammer, escaped from the Central Prison Tombs, a few days ago and has been making trouble for the Brockville jewelers. He called at Coates & Son's jewelry store and asked for a watch left there by Miss Ellis. He was not known and Mr. Coates, Jr. refused to give him any of the watches left for repairs. The stranger said he was Miss Ellis' brother and she had sent him for the watch, as she wanted to go away by an early train. In about half an hour he returned with an order, purporting to be signed by his sister, and on the strength of this got the watch. It was found on him when arrested.

The fine new business structure on Main St.. Winnipeg. Man., known as the McIntyre block, the stores in which are fitted up in a very handsome and up-to-date manner with all modern requirements, is likely to centralize the jewelry trade of that city. D. R. Dingwall, one of the oldest jewelers in Winnipeg, has taken one of the stores which he has had specially fitted up, and will make it his headquarters, retaining his other store as a branch establishment. The well known jewelry houses of Andrew & Co. and T. S. Porte are also moving into stores in this block. The beautiful new store just occupied by Barre Bros., jewelers, immediately adjoins this block, so that the locality forms the nucleus of a "Maiden Lane" in Winnipeg, and these removals mark a distinct new departure in the trade of that city.

Donald Ross Dingwell was born in Scotland in 1851. As a young man he came to Canada on his own and after learning the jewellery and watchmaking trade in Montreal, he opened his first shop in Port Hope, Ontario in 1878. In 1882 he relocated to Winnipeg and two years later opened a jewellery store near the corner of Alexander and Main streets where he manufactured men's and women's jewellery and watches, he later moved his main shop to the McIntyre Block and subsequently relocated again to the McArthur Building at Portage and Main.
In 1911 Donald Dingwall built a manufactory at 62 Albert Street producing fine gold and platinum work, diamond settings, silversmithing and watch repairs. His business was now employing 120 men in the two stores and factory, the company were famed for their high quality work.
Donald Dingwell died in 1913, but the business stayed within the Dingwall family and continued to prosper, despite a devastating fire in 1921 that gutted the Albert Street building. But the depression in the early 1930's, the collapse of the stock market and the dust bowl failure of the prairie wheat crop caused the collapse of the luxury goods market and D.R. Dingwall Ltd.were absorbed by Henry Birks and Sons in 1933. In 1936, Birks-Dingwall was incorporated as a provincial company as Henry Birks and Sons Manitoba Ltd. with D.C. Dingwall, a nephew of Donald Dingwall, as president.

THE ROBERT SIMPSON COMPANY
Toronto
The Robert Simpson Company was, almost certainly, only a retailer, but as they were a large concern there is always the possibility that they may have marked items sold by themselves, thus they are included in this topic.
The Robert Simpson store at Toronto c.1890:
The Robert Simpson Company Limited - Toronto - 1911
The origins of the business started in 1858 at Newmarket, Ontario, but following a devastating fire that occurred in 1870, the store was rebuilt at Toronto two years later. The business was converted into a limited liability company in May 1896 shortly before the death of Robert Simpson that occurred on the 14th December 1897, aged 63 years. In March 1898 the company was acquired by a syndicate of three Toronto businessmen, Harris Henry Fudger, Joseph Flavelle, and Alfred Ernest Ames. The company became Simpsons-Sears Limited in 1952, and in 1978 thee business was acquired by the Hudson's Bay Company. By 1991 the Simpson's name had disappeared.

T. EATON Co.
Toronto
The T. Eaton Co. was established at 178, Yonge Street, Toronto in 1869 by Timothy Eaton. In 1883 the firm was relocated to 190, Yonge Street and expansion of the business continued at a rapid pace. In 1886 T. Eaton Co. employed 150 people, by 1919 it had risen to 16,000.
The formerly retail business saw the benefits of manufacturing their own products and in 1890 opened their first factory producing whitewear.
Timothy Eaton was assisted by his eldest son, Edward Young Eaton, who was Vice-President of the company having joined his father in 1880 at the age of seventeen, his early demise on the 3rd October 1900 through illness was a huge blow to the company.
The firm was converted into a limited liability company on the 8th October 1881, styled T. Eaton Co.Ltd.
Timothy Eaton died at Toronto on the 31st January 1907, and the business was continued by John Craig Eaton.
Sir John Craig Eaton died in 1922 and R.Y. Eaton became president of the company.
In 1942 R.Y. Eaton retired and John David Eaton became president.
We know from their 1909 catalogue that by this time the company were producing their own lines of jewellery etc.
Eaton's ran their own line of silverware, Haddon Plate:
1951
The company did not do well in the later years of the 20th century and finally went into bankruptcy. The majority of what was left of the business was acquired by Sears Canada Inc., a division of the Sears Roebuck Company.
