All harassed with doubts as to what to give-must cast their worries aside and visit Vickery’s, 179, Regent Street, W.; there are little things for a few shillings, and others of regal magnificence costing many hundreds of pounds, Pictured on this page is a mascot with a tom-tit in the centre, it is enamelled in true colours in 15-carat gold. There are other pendants with chicks and magpies. Also portrayed is a diamond cluster pendant on platinum neck-chain. Worthy of every consideration—there is an infinite variety of walking sticks, with solid carved animal and bird handles, for men and women. The new catalogue is ready, and will be sent on application to all who mention this paper.
It would be well-nigh impossible to find a more representative collection of useful and ornamental novelties for Christmas than at J. C. Vickery’s, 179, Regent Street, W. Who would not desire to be the possessor of the Black Cat or Lucky Rabbit charm with gold circle, reproduced on this page? They are inexpensive, and at the same time afford a constant reminder of the giver. Appropriate gifts to a man are the gold-and-green sleeve links in the new check design, or he may prefer the reliable eight-day clock in sterling silver case, which also makes an excellent paper weight. A welcome novelty is the “ Merrythought ” letter clip on lovely mother-o'-pearl base.
The other morning the staff of J. C. Vickery, Regent St. jeweler, found itself locked out. All attempts to unlock the door were in vain. The lock could not be moved by a locksmith. Eventually a glass cutter was sent for and a hole large enough for a member of the staff to crawl through was cut in one of the windows. It was found the catch of the lock had slipped down preventing the key from turning.
