Canadian Jewelers at Toronto Show Expect Best Trade in 20 Years
TORONTO, CANADA.—The jewelry business is thriving, men are wearing jeweled tie-pins and everything from teapots to earrings is more ornate and luxurious than it has been for 30 years, according to those who attended the annual fair of the Canadian Jewelers’ Association at the Royal York Hotel.
The riches which will deck the Dominion’s homes and people this winter were spread through 102 display rooms of manufacturers and importers on two of the floors, and were guarded by almost as many private detectives as there were rooms. The displays were valued somewhere around $500,000 although one display of pearls alone was claimed by the exhibitor to represent that sum at retail.
Elegance not seen since the end of the Victorian era was represented in the displays. Silver tableware, hollow and flat, and glass and jewelry all went in for delicacy of craftsmanship, detail and richness of design. Your flatware may be very ornate, or very simple with touches of very fine workmanship. The hollow-ware tended to the period, with Sheffield reproductions at the peak, and whether it is a vase or a ring you buy, it should look like something none but a Cellini would be satisfied with.
Jewelers would not estimate exactly what increase in business they expect this winter, but they declared they looked forward to the best in 20 years. The big movement, they said, was in the better-class goods, the family heirloom type of business whether in precious stones or household silver.

J. E. LEBLANC
1111, Mount Royal Avenue, Montreal
MONTREAL, CAN., Dec. 21.—J. E. Leblanc, jeweler, 1111 Mount Royal Ave., was held up and robbed in his store by a woman and three men last Tuesday night when the was opened for holiday trade.
A stylishly dressed woman, accompanied by a man, entered and asked to be shown some rings. Three trays of valuable rings were produced for their inspection and a few minutes later two other men came in and asked to be shown some watches. Suddenly drawing revolvers they covered the proprietor, telling him to put up his hands.
The first man then pointed a revolver at Mrs. Leblanc who was assisting in the while the woman gathered all the jewelry from the counter and placed it into a large handbag. The gang then drove off in a waiting automobile.
The value of the stolen goods is about $2,500. The police believe that the woman is the same one who figured in several other robberies which have recently occurred in this city.

J. H. RACCICOT
St. Johns, Quebec
NEW YORK
While J. H. Raccicot, jeweler and watch dealer, at St. Johns, P. Q., was buying a ticket for Montreal at the Grand Central Station last Wednesday just before the 7 o’clock train started, his sample case, containing watches, chains and other jewelry, was stolen. He told the police that his case was quite heavy, weighing perhaps 75 pounds, and he placed it on the floor while he paid for his ticket. When he turned around again the case was gone. Mr. Raccicot said that he had been calling for several days on people in the trade. He thought that somebody who knew the value of the samples might have followed him to the depot for the purpose of robbing him. In the reports given out by the police it was said that the property was worth $3,000, but this figure was somewhat exaggerated. Mr. Raccicot carried little jewelry, most of the stock being in watches. He spends most of his time on the road and travels considerably between Montreal and New York. He is the jeweler whose watches, after he sold them to a New York dealer, were held up at Rouse’s Point several months ago by a customs inspector because of a failure to comply with a technical rule of the department.
