The Hess & Culbertson Jewelry Co., at 9th and Olive Sts., has recently installed a handsome bronze stand, at the outside entrance to the store. This is about five feet high, is located on the outside property line of the store and in the middle of the front of the vestibule into the store. It bears a glass-enclosed clock, similar to those often used in front of jewelry stores by which the public may regulate their timepieces. The stand, of bronze, is handsome in design and bears the initials of the firm, and altogether makes a useful means of advertising the store to the numerous passers-by on this busy thoroughfare.
