The Hess & Culbertson Jewelry Co. has just completed a fine lot of gold badges for the Executive Commissioners’ Association of the World’s Fair. They are made of solid gold. The bar at the top bears the name of the state of the executive commissioner. Suspended from this by a white silk ribbon is the coat of arms of the United States, enameled in colors and surrounded by a gold circle on which appear the words “Universal Exposition, St. Louis, 1904.’’ Tastefully caught in the eagle’s beak is a gold streamer with the words “Executive Commissioner.” The completed badges reflect the highest skill of the jeweler's art.

Extensive improvements have been made on the store room at the corner of Sixth and Locust Streets, which was formerly used for banking purposes, and it is now one of the most modern and elegant rooms in St. Louis. It has been fitted up for Hess & Culbertson, our well-known retailers, and they are now nicely located in their new establishment. They are to be congratulated upon having one of the really fine and high-grade stores of the town.
