abc 1In Emerica HE great house of Tiffany 8L Co., Union Square, New York, is famous in every section of the world. Its fame is based on a solid foundation. For originality, Tiffany 8: Co., are un- surpassed : the skill and intelligence shown in the execution of their work are themes for continuous comment, while in artistic detail, and conscientious care, they are far in advance of Euro- pean 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 84 Co.'s exquisitely beautiful work-a vase presented to the Frankfort 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, re- plying to the deputation as follows : I will give you one more chance ! If you fail, I will order my trophies in New York ill future. Could any higher compliment, or more substantial recogni- tion be given to the firm of Tiffany 8: 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 accomplishments in orig- inality, art and manufacture--he must give the order to Tiffany 8: Co. -Ea'z'iorz'al-Plziladeyhia Ilem, 3 Oclober, 190 3
