He also represents The Holmes and Edwards Silver Co.. of Bridgeport, Conn., the celebrated manufacturers of flat goods, such as spoons, forks, etc., and which are of the highest quality made. This company is also manufacturing spoons, forks, ladles, knives, etc, of "Mexican Silver 67," a new metal. These goods, which are sold at low prices, are superior to sterling silver or plated ware in point of non-tarnishing or resistance to atmospheric influences, and equal to solid silver for durability. Goods made of Mexican Silver can be kept clean with any silver polish, as there is no plate to wear off, being solid metal. This St. Louis branch, which occupies the main floor and basement, 30x100 feet, at the northeast corner of Locust and Eighth streets, was established in June, 1886, and has already built up a large and steadily increasing trade throughout the entire West and South. Mr. Lindley who has the supervision of this branch, is one of the oldest commercial travelers in the country, a gentleman of superior business attainments and highly esteemed in commercial circles.
