W. Hickok, secretary-treasurer, and J. W. Steiwald, vice-president. The corporation has been formed under the New Jersey laws. Mr. Eleder, the president of the new concern, started his career in the jewelry business with Tiffany & Co., in the Forest Hill plant, where he learned his trade and then was with the Wm. B. Kerr Co. and later superintendent for Lebkeulder & Co., which concern was purchased and later run as the Eleder Co. Mr. Hickok, who is well known in the silver trade, was for a time with the Gorham Co. and for a long period of years has been associated with Graff-Washbourne & Dunn. Neat announcements of the formation of the new concern have been sent out to the trade and many friends wish them success in their new venture.

Tiffany develops tarnish-proof coating for sterling which lasts indefinitely

A means of tarnish-proofing sterling hollowware without changing its appearance has been developed by Tiffany & Co. after five years of research.

According to Tiffany spokesmen, the process consists of depositing a translucent chemical coating on silver that protects it from damage by salt, sulphur, acetic acid or heat.

In intensive testing it has been found resistant to all damage except scratching and will last indefinitely, without peeling or chipping.

Tests involved exposure to heat, hot soapy water, alcohol, salt, sunlight, lipsticks, perspiration, nail polish remover, various acids and countless foods. In one test a lighted cigarette was placed on a piece of coated silver and allowed to burn for 10 minutes.

In no case was there a breakdown in the coating. At worst only stains resulted, and these were easily removed with soft cloth and water, Tiffany spokesmen say.

They foresee the day when glass liners for salt cellars and mustard pots will be unnecessary.

Sells for more

Tarnish-proofed Tiffany silver will sell for 10 per cent more than untreated sterling and will be sold by Tiffany-franchised jewelers as well as the New York store.

Tiffany will begin tarnish-proofing silver bought prior to the development of the process in about a year’s time. Sterling purchased at Tiffany will have priority, a spokesmen said. Later, non-Tiffany sterling will also be accepted for tarnish-proofing.

Tarnish-proofing antique silver in museums may be undertaken at a future date.

A spokesmen said the process may be applied to sterling jewelry but for the present will be used and recommended only for hollowware. Because of its constant exposure to scratching, flatware does not lend itself to tarnish-proofing.
