JOHN B. FALDING
20, Cambridge Street, Sheffield
JOHN B. FALDING, DRAM FLASK MANUFACTURER, 20, CAMBRIDGE STREET, SHEFFIELD
This business was recently founded on the above premises by the present proprietor. The entire place is well arranged for the purposes of the trade, and the workshops are liberally provided with all the necessary appliances of the most modern description. The manufacture is of every kind of dram bottles in Britannia metal and glass with Britannia-metal and electro-plated Britannia-metal cups; also nickel-silver electro-plated flasks in morocco, hog-skin, russia, crocodile, and lizard. These goods are all made with the greatest care, and their thoroughly attractive appearance commands for them a ready sale, and they are rapidly taking a prominent place on the markets. Other useful goods are in breech-loading implements, closers, recappers, extractors, cleaners, oil bottles, turn-screws, C. F. keys, dog calls, &c. The proprietor was formerly with the firm of Messrs. William Bartram & Co. He has a thorough knowledge of all the branches of the trade, his matured experience enabling him to conduct his operations with great advantage. The important connection formed is partly of a local description, and with the principal towns of England and Scotland. The flasks are made throughout on the premises. The sole proprietor, Mr. John Falding, takes the active management of the concern, and to his personal tact and skill much of the success enjoyed is due. In the different departments a goodly number of hands are employed, both competent and trustworthy. Mr. Falding has also established a reputation for integrity, and is widely known and respected.

W. PEARSON, WATCHMAKER AND JEWELLER, 18, CASTLE STREET, SHEFFIELD
The success which has attended this business may be said to be entirely due to the energy and ability of Mr. Pearson, both of which he has exhibited in a high degree. The premises occupied in Castle Street consist of a spacious shop, with a single window, with convenient work-rooms at the rear. The arrangement of the stock, both in the window and in the interior of the shop, is very effective and pleasing. The fittings and furnishings are in modern style. The general stock of jewellery is a large and representative one, and includes a costly and handsome selection of gold and silver watches, both for ladies’ and gentlemen’s wear, and at very reasonable prices. There are some excellent workmen’s watches, which will be difficult to equal at the price asked. There is also a fine stock of clocks of all kinds, both English, Continental, and American, and at various prices. The general stock includes the many articles to be found on the premises of a first-class jeweller. Mr. Pearson does a very considerable wholesale and retail trade in watch- makers’ and jewellers’ materials, each department being replete with the various articles. There is a very large repairing trade carried on, and several competent hands are kept fully employed, Mr. Pearson himself personally superintending this important department. There is a branch of the business at 7, Wicker Street, fitted and stocked in a similar manner to the above. In all his transactions Mr. Pearson is courteous and obliging, and is much respected by his large and valuable connection.

MAURICE BAUM
Penistone Street, later, Albert Works, 189-193, Norfolk Street, Sheffield
MAURICE BAUM, MANUFACTURER OF SILVER, ELECTRO-PLATED AND STEEL CUTLERY, NICKEL SILVER AND BRITANNIA-METAL GOODS, &C., ALBERT WORKS, 189, 191, 193, NORFOLK STREET, SHEFFIELD
This prosperous and most energetically managed business was established in 1872 in Penistone Street by the present proprietor. When certain street improvements rendered it necessary to remove from those premises, the firm wisely profited by the occasion to build the present block in Norfolk Street. The existing premises comprise a large four-storeyed building which, in its various departments, has been admirably adapted to the requirements of the trade. The general and private offices are well appointed and are furnished with all the requisites for facilitating the conduct of a large commercial correspondence. An efficient clerical staff performs the work of the offices. On the ground floor is situated the series of roomy warehouses and store-rooms, in which the firm always hold heavy stocks of those articles of their manufacture which are chiefly in demand in the numerous markets where their productions are known and appreciated. The adjoining show-rooms are very elegantly fitted up and decorated in harmony with the artistically beautiful character of their contents. They contain, at all times, a tastefully arranged and thoroughly representative display of the varied productions of the firm’s workshops, including examples of the novelties in design which they are constantly introducing. Here are also situated the spacious plating- rooms. They are elaborately fitted up with all the most modern dynamos and electrical appliances for working the baths and vats of solutions for the depositing of gold and silver on the various classes of goods, and are in every way adapted to cope with the extensive and increasing business of the firm.
All the manufacturing processes required in the production of Mr. Baum’s varied classes of goods, from the forging and grinding to the plating and finishing of the articles ready for sale, are performed in the various departments of the admirably arranged works. The general workshops are fitted up throughout with mechanical appliances of the most approved modern type. The economies thus effected enable the firm, while producing goods of the best material and the most finished workmanship, to quote prices which compare very favourably with those of other first-class houses.
The firm, in addition to doing a large general business as silversmiths, are very large manufacturers of silver, electro-plated, and steel cutlery. They produce great quantities of nickel silver and Britannia-metal goods. Their stocks, also, always include, in great variety, spoons and forks, pickle forks, butter knives, desserts, fish eaters, fish carvers, &c. It is in connection with the production of such articles that the firm have gained a high reputation in the markets by the introduction of a new metal, to which they have given the (registered) name of “Silverine.” This metal, as applied to the manufacture of such goods as spoons, forks, &c., has earned much celebrity all over the world for its whiteness, permanency of colour, and equality in appearance to sterling silver. A considerable business is also carried on at the Albert Works in the manufacture of table cutlery, and especially in meat carvers mounted in silver and electro-plate. These are fitted in handsome cases, and are sold at very moderate prices.
About a hundred and thirty hands, including many expert workmen of the highest technical skill, are regularly employed at the Albert Works. The business relations of the firm extend all over the United Kingdom, the principal towns of which are regularly visited by its commercial representatives, whose efforts to extend the connection of the house are much facilitated by the high reputation which it bears throughout the trade. The firm have a special agency in London at 94, Hatton Garden. They do a large export trade to Australia, India, the British Colonies generally, and the continent of Europe. Much of the remarkable success which has been gained by this firm must be attributed to the thorough knowledge which Mr. Baum possesses of all the requirements of the trade, and to the assiduity with which he personally supervises all the details of the several departments. It is thus that he is enabled personally to guarantee the value of all goods sent out of his establishment.

Re: Some Sheffield Advertisements and Information
Christmas orders for the best plate and cutlery from Sheffield has eased off somewhat this week. Orders for electroplated goods this month are larger than they have ever been before at this time of the year. Sheffield’s ability to produce this class of goods cheaply is one reason for their popularity. Cases for holding plate and cutlery, formerly made by the Germans, are now supplied the trade by local manufacturers. They are satin lined and in imitation leather.
