HENRY LOWE

St. Catherines, Ontario


Henry Lowe, a promising young jeweler of St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada, died recently at the early age of 29 years. The deceased was educated at the city public schools and Collegiate Institute, later serving an apprenticeship with Jeweler W. Tyrrill. At the completion of his apprenticeship, he took a course of a year’s duration at Canadian Horological Institute, of Toronto. He then returned to Saint Catherines and established himself in business. Ill health, however, compelled him to retire and although he showed some signs of improvement, a sudden change for the worse developed and he finally succumbed to the fatal malady. The deceased was a son of James F. Lowe, of Albert Street.

'BEAU' LASH - J.G. JOSEPH & Co.

Toronto


Inspector Lash. — Almost every jeweler in Canada will remember " Beau " Lash, the once genial traveller for the old firm of J. G. Joseph & Co. After Mr. Lash left the jewelry business he went to the North-West and entered the mounted police, where his merits soon raised him to the position of Inspector and Indian Agent. Our readers will remember that when Riel made his stand at Batoche he held as hostages some score of prisoners whom he threatened to massacre if General Middleton did not withdraw his troops. The heroic charge of the volunteers spoiled his little game and the prisoners were rescued from the cellar where they had been confined for about two weeks; chief amongst them was Inspector Lash. Mr. Lash has been granted leave of absence and has visited his old home in Ontario in order to recuperate. When we saw him he was looking splendidly and receiving the heartiest kind of a welcome from his many friends in Toronto, who were delighted to see him alive and well. Mr. Lash says he don't want any more of that kind of experience.

Canadian Jewelers Prepare for Convention in Toronto on February 11 , 12, 13

TORONTO, ONT. , Jan. 27. - Elaborate preparations are being made for the holding of the 11th annual convention of the Canadian Jewelers' Association,
which promises to be of unusual interest. It will be held at the Royal York Hotel Feb. 11, 12 and 13.

The displays by manufacturers and wholesalers will be on an extensive scale. The entire first floor has been reserved for this purpose and a large overflow has found it necessary to secure accommodations on the second and third floors.

The most striking feature of the convention will be the fashion show which is scheduled for the opening day in the concert hall. Costumes for this event
are being imported from Europe by the T. Eaton Co., and the jewels and other adornments will be furnished by local jewelers. Admission will be by invitation only and it is anticipated that there will be a large attendance.

The convention opens officially on Feb. 11 at the noon luncheon, when a civic welcome will be given by Mayor Wemp. The social side of the program will take the form of cabaret dinner, and an entertainment, on the evening of Feb. 12, and a banquet and ball on the following evening.

ARMAND DOR

195, Amherst Street, Montreal


HELD UP AND ROBBED

Four Bandits Visit Montreal, Can., Jewelry Store and Escape with Loot Valued at Over $2,000


MONTREAL, Can., Jan. 9. On or about 10 o'clock on then night of Jan. 5, four armed men entered the jewelry store of Armand Dor, 195 Amherst St., held up the proprietor and his wife, and stole jewelry and cash to the value of over $2,000.

When the robbers entered, Mrs. Dor was telephoning in the store, and Mr. Dor and a woman customer were in an apartment in the rear listening to a radio set.The first man entering presented a revolver at Mrs. Dor and ordered her not to move. Another went through the store to the room behind and held up Mr.Dor and his companion, while the third rifled the showcases and the window. A fourth blocked the door and received the articles passed to him by the other.

The man menacing Mrs. Dor with a revolver went behind the store counter and stooped down to open a safe. As he did so Mrs. Dor reached for a revolver which was on a shelf and fired at the man beside the safe, but missed him.The shot alarmed the bandits who ran off. Mrs.Dor endeavored to get another shot at them but the revolver jammed. They jumped in to an automobile and drove off rapidly.

On Monday afternoon the police arrested a man suspected of being one of the gang.
