T.R. BAKER
Ashford, Kent
German clock dumping is considered by many jewelers here to be responsible for the lean times many jewelers have experienced in the clock side of their business since the armistice. At one bankruptcy examination this week T. R. Baker, of Ashford, a jeweler and clockmaker, said he formed a company to manufacture alarm clocks in 1919 and that in the following year German clocks began to enter England at such a rate and at a retail selling cost of a third of the price of the English made clock that business was practically impossible.

DYSON & SONS
9, Thames Street, Windsor and 4, High Street, Eton
Dyson & Sons - Windsor - c.1925
In too many places, I fear, the Royal Wedding is proving a source of discord and strife, and being made an occasion for jobbery and favouritism. All sorts of squabbles have arisen in hitherto peaceful communities. There is a lack of harmony even in the Royal Borough of Windsor. One of the members of the Wedding Committee there is Mr. Councillor Dyson, the head of a firm of jewellers. Considering the very active part which this gentleman has taken in the arrangements, his fellow tradesmen thought that he would not tender for the supply of the plate which is to form the town's gift. Mr. Dyson did tender, however, and, what is more, the Committee accepted his tender. The other local silversmiths assert that not only did Mr. Dyson possess an unfair advantage over them owing to information which he obtained as a Committee-man, but that his estimate was higher in amount than several of the rejected tenders. It seems to me that they have good cause to complain of the action of the Committee, if not of that of Mr. Dyson.

GEORGE W. PASCALL
Bournemouth
A sequel to the arrest last Summer of a Belgian diamond merchant on a charge of theft which afterwards proved to be false culminated in the courts here this week when the merchant — Leindert Vischschraper and Mme. Jeanne Cajot, a business friend, sued George W. Pascall, a Bournemouth jeweler, for damages for alleged malicious prosecution. The allegations were denied and judgment was given for the jeweler with costs. The diamond merchant and Mme. Cajot visited the Bournemouth jewelry establishment last July when Pascall showed the merchant (who has carried on a diamond business in London for 30 years) a wallet of unset diamonds, suggesting that he purchase them. The diamond merchant offered to buy one stone, but the jeweler said it must be all or none. The merchant and Mme. Cajot thereupon left the jewelry store. Soon afterwards the jeweler missed the wallet. Jumping to the conclusion that the visitors had taken the wallet with them he notified the police. Vischschraper and Mme. Cajot later were arrested, formally charged with the theft of the wallet and placed in separate cells for the night. Next morning they were before the local magistrate and were remanded. After leaving the court the jeweler made a thorough search of his shop and found his wallet of diamonds in a letter file. He at once returned to the court and explained the situation to the magistrate, who expressed his regret to the accused couple and discharged them. Vischschraper was so overjoyed when he heard the wallet of stones was found that he kissed the police inspector. The court found that the jeweler made a genuine mistake in thinking plaintiffs had taken the wallet and did not prosecute them maliciously.
