CATALOGUE OF COMMUNITY SILVER

A catalogue has just been issued by the Oneida Community, Oneida, N. Y., which must be regarded as rather a notable production. It is over 16 x 9 in. in dimensions, and contains about 50 page plates showing in actual size the lines of flatware manufactured by the company. There are also several reduced reproductions of handsome box sets. Accompanying the plates are complete and well arranged price-lists of all illustrated. The half-tone cuts are of the highest order, reproducing in a remarkable degree the soft tones and sheen of the metal, and at the same time faithfully bringing out the detailed beauties of the various designs. Handsome views are given of the Community factory at Niagara Falls, and also of the home buildings at Oneida. The catalogue is certainly a beautiful production and will doubtless be appreciated by those who receive it.

Why were our forebears’ earlier attempts to sell high-grade silverware with a Community trade-mark unsuccessful?

At times we were baffled by the magnitude of our problem. And then, near the end of the year, there came to us what my father would have called an “inspiration.” Someone—I have forgotten who—suggested that we could not beat powerful competitors who were selling trade-marks long established with the buying public merely by employing some variation of their game, however ingenious that variation might be; that we must play a game all our own and hope to make our competitors play it, too. Thereupon, we threw the bulk of our “surveys” out the window. We ask ourselves, what is “our game”?

The business fathers of the old Oneida Community, perfectionists as they were, had successfully developed four industries by refusing to make any but the best of each article produced. Only their youngest enterprise, begun in those later days when worldly encroachments were shaking the foundations of the Community, was the exception. They made cheap silverware. What more logical, now, than for us to go back to the earlier traditions of our ancestors and make our competitors play the game of better quality silverware? That, we decided, would be our new game. From then on, our discussions were confined to discovering ways of making better silver-plated ware than had ever been made before.

Supreme Court Justice McGoldrick granted on Wednesday last the application by Attorney General Sherman for an injunction against F. B. Florian & Co., Inc., restraining the concern from dealing in stock of the Oneida Community, Ltd. When the case came before Justice McGoldrick for a hearing on Attorney General Sherman’s application to continue an injunction granted some weeks ago, the defendant corporation and Frederick B. Florian and Irving Zindler, who run the business consented that the injunction be made permanent. The injunction order restrains the Florian concern from “buying and selling any stocks or bonds of the Oneida Community, Ltd. or sending through the United States mails, or in any manner, letters, statements, notices, or literature of any kind relative to the said Oneida Community, Ltd., and from carrying out in any manner any plan whereby either the common or preferred stock of the Oneida Community, Ltd., is in any way involved.”
