The wall cases are complete with the most beautiful and up-to-date goods ever displayed in Halifax. Just now they are receiving daily, goods suitable for spring weddings, consisting of sterling silverware, cut-glass, electro plate, art goods, drawing and dining-room clocks, etc. Their stock of jewelry is very large.

Halifax, N. S., Feb. 25.—Two members of the Royal Garrison Artillery stationed at this place pleaded guilty Monday of breaking the plate glass window of the jewelry store of Thomas Johnson & Sons, 187 Barrington St., and have been sentenced to three years in the penitentiary.
The crime was committed Saturday night; the men, after deliberately kicking in the window, waited in front of the jewelry store until a police officer came along and arrested them. They made no resistance and went quietly to the lockup, where they stated they had committed the act because they were disgusted with the army and wanted to be relieved of service.

N. BROCK WILKINS
Galt, Ontario
N. Brock Wilkins has succeeded R. D. Kay in the jewelry business in Galt, Ont.
Source: The Jewelers' Circular and Horological Review - 2nd November 1892
Mr. Brock Wilkins, Galt's youngest jeweler, has taken possession of his new premises, in the block built by his grandfather over fifty years ago, and which has without exception been occupied by some of the family as merchants ever since without a break. Mr. Wilkins' new premises is certainly one of the handsomest jewelry stores in Western Ontario, and reflects the highest credit upon the proprietor, who, we understand, personally designed and supervised the decorations himself. The following description of Mr. Wilkins' new store and its fittings is taken from the local paper: It is handsomely finished in " staff,'' something entirely new for store decorations. It is said the first time this material was used for building purposes was at the World's Fair in 1893. The exterior is set in an imitation of staff which has the appearance of mottled marble. The entrance passage is laid in Italian mosaic, executed by an Italian. A large beveled oval plate panels the entrance door. On entering, one is impressed with the magnificent appearance, so effectively and artistically is everything arranged. The store proper is forty-five feet long and nineteen feet wide, with an ample workroom and an optical room in addition. At the immediate right of the door Mr. Wilkins has his private workroom, which is finished in keeping with the rest of the store and fitted with bevel plate glass. On one side of the store two artistic alcoves lend a charming effect as they shelter a showcase and mirror. The arches forming these recesses are beautiful works of art modelled in staff. On the opposite side of the store thirty-one feet of nickel mounted walnut showcases cover costly wares in gold and silver, fine china and other material. Snugly nestled in a well placed niche in the rear wall, just over Mr. Wilkins' massive safe, is a three-light electric figure in bronze. The ceiling is formed of embossed metallic squares, while the floor is covered with linoleum of marquetry design. Handsome grilles ornament the show windows. Gas and electricity are used for illuminating. There is a dash of beauty about the whole place that enlists your admiration. The soft, mellow effect of the staff finish and decorations is very pleasing. It removes anything of harshness and lends that happy result so much desired. The architectural designs throughout are the very latest and from front to rear the store is not only modern and convenient, but is attractive and artistic. As an optician, Mr. Wilkins already has a wide reputation. To more faithfully and scientifically carry on this branch of his business he has had an optical parlor arranged at the rear of his store, eight feet by twenty feet. The room is solid black as this is absolutely necessary for the proper testing of sight. Both gas and electric lights are used in making tests. Mr. Wilkins' success in business to-day, shows forcibly what can be accomplished by pluck, push and perseverance. He is a Galt boy, born and schooled here. He learned his trade with Kent Bros., in Toronto, then travelled some years, engaging with the largest and most progressive firms in the large cities of Canada and the United States. After thus fitting himself he returned to his own town and entered business, and it is a credit to him and to our town that after seven and a-half years in business, he occupies so large, magnificent and up-date a store as he does to-day.

Montreal, Can., Jan. 12.–According to the decision of a Montreal court an ex-employee, starting a business on his own account has no right to use the name of his former employer in advertising his establishment. Daniel Beatty, jeweler of St. Peter St., Montreal, asked for and has been granted an injunction against Homer Mansfield to restrain him from using his (Beatty's) name in connection with his business which was carried on in a store which Beatty had vacated. Mansfield moved in and put up the sign "H. Mansfield, late with D. Beatty."
Judge Maclennan granted the injunction and ordered the removal of Beatty's name, saying that Mansfield's action looked like an attempt to deceive the public by imitating the sign under which Beatty carried on business.
