ERNEST HYDE & Co.

Vittoria Street, Birmingham


Although several old firms have closed their trade during the last few months, their signs taken away and their places know them no more, yet this has not in any way lessened the competition, as several new ones have come to light or opened new branches just to keep up the balance of affairs. One of these is Messrs. Ernest Hyde & Co., diamond mounters, Vittoria Street, Birmingham, a branch of Messrs. Hyde & Sons, Warstone Lane; they have just put down a staff of about twenty pairs of hands and are open for orders in any branch of diamond mounting.

F. SAXELBY

Birmingham


Yet another lecture by a local jeweler — again at the New Church Guild. On March 15th, Mr. F. Saxelby was lecturing on "Glimpses of Elizabethan London," illustrated with limelight views of the places described. Mr. Saxelby is an excellent Shakespearean scholar, and was thus enabled to throw a realistic light on the scenes and places in London during the time of Elizabeth.

Jewelry manufacturers in Birmingham, England, are running on short time and with a reduced number of hands. Over 300 jewelry workmen have emigrated to America from that city within a year.
