Sheriff Now in Possession
Fon-du-Lac, Wis., Feb. 9. - The stock of jewelry owned by Percy E. Pope was levied upon this week by the firm of Swett & Ecke, for Dominick & Haff, of New York, from whom Mr. Pope had bought goods. Dominick & Haff secured a judgment for $390 in the Circuit Court last September, through their attorneys, Swett & Ecke. No levy had been made because Mr. Pope's stock was covered by a chattel mortgage of $160, but when it was learned that Mr. Pope had satisfied the mortgage a short time ago, the papers were served by Sheriff Schaefer this morning. August Furst now and H. G. De Sombre were appointed appraisers to appraise the stock, which was done today.
Mr. Pope had sold his wall-cases, regulator and other fixtures, to C.W. Flower, and had made arrangements to dispose of his stock at auction on the 25th of February.

The 70th birthday of H. Blanchard Dominick, one of the veterans as well as one of the most prominent manufacturers in the silver trade of the country, was celebrated in a pleasing way recently. Mr. Dominick, who for years has been the head of the old house of Dominick & Haff, was tendered a complimentary luncheon at the Waldorf Astoria, Wednesday last, by 12 of his associates and employees in the business with which he has so long been connected. The fact that he had reached the age of three score and 10 without the physical and other infirmities that used to be associated with it, was a matter of felicitation and the occasion in every way reflected the high regard and good will that existed reciprocally between the guest of honor and his hosts.

Death of H. B. Dominick
Dean of the New York Silver Trade Passes Away at Four Score and Ten Years, of Which Sixty-four Were Served in the Industry
The death of H. Blanchard Dominick, Sunday last, at his residence, 850 Park Ave, New York, removes a figure long prominent in the silver trade in this country and one, who, in his career of nearly 65 years in the industry, made an impress upon it that will long be remembered. For Mr. Dominick, who, for nearly 60 years, had been the senior member of the old and well known firm of Dominick & Haff, was veritably the dean of the silver business in New York and, until early this year, had been active in the management of this concern. The silver business was the life interest of the deceased and though he had been financially and actively interested in many other movements and institutions, Mr. Dominick’s whole business career was tied up with the one concern which he entered as a boy and of which he later became the head.
Mr. Dominick came of an old Huguenot family, his ancestors coming to this country in 1739. One of his forebears, George Dominick, fought in the American Revolution and the members of the family have been prominent in the business and social world ever since. H. Blanchard Dominick, like his father and grandfather before him, was a native of New York. Born on Jan. 31, 1848, he received his early education in the metropolis. At the age of 15 years he received his first position in the silver trade with the house of William Gale & Son, and from then until his death was always identified with the silver industry.
Mr. Dominick’s business, like that of his family, is also of early American origin, claiming, with probably one exception, to be the oldest silver house in the country. The business was started in 1821 by William Gale, and was known throughout the subsequent years under various firm names, among them Gale & Hayden; Gale, Wood & Hughes; Wm. Gale; Wm. Gale & Son; Gale & Willis, and again Wm. Gale & Son. It remained in charge of the founder and his family until 1866 when it was bought out by Edward Corning. A younger member of the Gale family became associated with Mr. Corning, under the name of Gale & Corning, and in 1869 the business became Gale, Dominick & Haff. Two years later, the name was changed to Dominick & Haff, Mr. Dominick and his associates, Leroy B. Haff and his brother, Alexander Dominick, succeeding to the business. Under that style it has been known ever since. From 1871 until about 30 years ago, the business was conducted as a partnership; then a corporation was formed with H. Blanchard Dominick as president; Leroy B. Haff, Vice-president and treasurer; and Alexander Dominick, secretary. Mr. Haff and Alexander Dominick died shortly after the company was formed, H. Blanchard Dominick continuing at the head of the business until January of this year, when it and the McChesney Co., which it controlled, were merged with the old house of Reed & Barton.
Mr. Dominick, during his many years in the silver trade, rose to a commanding position in the industry and his ability, attainments and judgment won him the respect of competitors and customers alike. He was a man of forceful character, of discriminating taste, with a keen mind and a sense of the beautiful and appropriate. He built up around him an organization of craftsmen which kept up the high standard of the product with which his name had always been associated. His popularity with his employes was manifested 15 years ago when, in November, 1913, on the 50th anniversary of his association with the silver industry, the staff of Dominick & Haff presented him a gold cup as a mark of their affection and esteem.
To his business and to his home, Mr. Dominick devoted his principal activities, though he did find time to participate in charitable, welfare and church work. He was also director in several financial organizations. In the later years of his life, he curtailed some of these activities but still took a deep interest in the Women’s Hospital and the work of Grace Church, of which he had long been a member. He also continued his association with the Century Club and was a life member of the Aldine Club. He was also a member of the St. Nicholas Society, Sons of the Revolution, Sons of Society of the Colonial Wars and a former member of the Huguenot Society.
Though he had passed the unusual age of four score and ten years, his health remained good up until early last summer, when he suffered a slight stroke. The effects of this, at first, seemed to pass away but he really never recovered from it and he had been ailing for some time before his demise. Despite his illness, his death proved a great shock to his many friends throughout the silver industry and in the jewelry trade.
Mr. Dominick was married in 1877 to Miss Mary Sampson. His widow and two children, a son, H. Blanchard, Jr., a daughter, Mrs. Walter T. Flanders, and two grandchildren survive.
The funeral services were held yesterday (Wednesday) in Grace Church, Broadway and 10th St., at 10.30 a. m., with Rev. Dr. W. Russell Bowie officiating, and the remains were later interred in Woodlawn Cemetery.

As announced in the last issue of The Jewelers' Circular, the Reed & Barton Corp. of this city has consolidated with Dominick & Haff, Inc., controlling the M. C. Chesney Co. of Newark, N. J. All three concerns are manufacturers of sterling silverware, and the consolidation, according to President Sinclair Weeks of the Reed & Barton Corp., will ultimately mean largely increased activity at the Taunton plant which now employs about 750 workers.
