NEW FRENCH IVORY FACTORY

Four years specialization in the handling of French Ivory products, after a lifetime spent in the jewelry business. have demonstrated to Mr. Carl Austin the necessity of having the manufacture of these goods under the supervision of experts in close touch with their distribution. In order to realize this, the firm of Carl Austin & Co. determined upon building a factory of its own, so that the manufacturing would be linked up with the selling end of the business, thus ensuring a dependable product and eliminating a certain percentage of the cost of distribution. It is now announced that the factory is already in operation in West Toronto, and turning out a complete line of French Ivory goods. The production will be greatly increased in the new year and especial attention will be devoted to the jewelry trade.
