MADE IN AMERICA THE great house of Tiffany Co., Union Square, New York, is famous in every section of the world. Its fame is based on a solid foundation. For originality, Tiffany Co. a re unsurpassed ; the skill and intelligence shown in the execu- tion of their work are themes for continuous comment, while in artistic detail and con- scientious care, they are far in advance of European or American competitors. It is not, therefore, a matter for surprise that Kaiser William, of Germany, should become intensely interested in a specimen of Tiffany Co. ' s exquisitely beautiful work — a vase presented to the Frankford Saengerfest, by the wealthy New Yorker, Mr. Pagenstecher. When the Kaiser saw this vase he exclaimed : Wonderful ! Such work cannot be done in Germany ! The Kaiser ' s habit of bluntly telling the truth, did not please the German silversmiths, who sent a deputation to complain that his assertion was unjust. The Kaiser refused to eat his words, as they say in Russia, replying to the deputation as follows : I will give you one more chance ! If you fail, I will order my trophies in New York in future. M Could any higher compliment, or more substantial recog- nition, be given to the firm of Tiffany Co. ? Americans are justly proud of this great house, and The Item predicts that one more chance will be sufficient to convince the mighty German Emperor that if he wants trophies that are the best in all respects- representing the highest accomplishment in originality, art and manufacture — he must give the order to Tiffany Co. — Editorial — Philadelphia Item, 3 October, 1903.
