NORTON VERNON
Yonge Street, Toronto
Toronto, Ont. 4th
Mr. Vernon, jeweller, Yonge Street, estimates his loss by the burglary reported yesterday at between $700 and $800.
Source: The Quebec Saturday Budget - 12th June 1880
Dead.–One of Toronto's oldest jewelers, in the person of Mr. Norton Vernon, died last month at the ripe age of 76. Old residents will well remember the quaint old-fashioned jewelery store with its small window panes that for years occupied the east side of Yonge Street just north of Richmond, where the new Confederation Lite Assurance Building is at present being erected. There Mr. Vernon carried on business for over 30 years in a quiet unobtrusive way and amassed quite a comfortable competence by doing honest work at fair prices. He was one of the first practical manufacturing jewelers Toronto ever had, and was rated high as a workman in the days when jewelry was all hand made and rolled plate was unknown. Five years ago Mr. Vernon met with a peculiar accident to his hand while at work. He never fully recovered from it, and ultimately died from the indirect effects of the accident.

ADOLPHE MONGEAU
St. Lawrence Boulevard, Montreal
Among the retail merchants of Montreal who have signed a petition to the Quebec Legislature for it to pass a bill imposing a special tax, not exceeding 10 per cent., on the annual value of any building used as a departmental store, is Adolphe Mongeau, jeweler.
Source: The Jewelers' Circular - 6th March 1901
Arthur Jacques, real estate dealer, Montreal, has laid a complaint against his treatment in the jewelry store of Adolphe Mongeau, St. Lawrence St. The stock has been selling at auction, and Jacques alleges that he was outbid by a man who was a fake bidder. Jacques refused to bid higher and the auctioneer wanted him to take the article at his lower figure. This he declined to do, and after a discussion the auctioneer, he says, ordered him to be put out of the store. One of the clerks thereupon, he says, took hold of him so forcibly that he was thrown to the pavement and sustained severe cuts about the head and face.
