Sl l Il Yllllili 30, 1903.-University College and School of Applied Science o un Made in America HE great house of Tiffany 8: 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 unsurpassedg the skill and intelligence shown in the execution of their work are themes for continu- ous comment, while in artistic detail, and conscientious care, they are far in advance of European or American competi- tors. It is not, therefore, a matter for surprise that Kaiser William, of Germany, should become intensely interested in a specimen of Tiffany 8: 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, replying to the deputation as follows: 'tl will give you one more chance! If you fail, I will order my trophies in New York in future. Could any higher compliment. or more substantial recognition, be given to the firm of Tiffany 8: Co. P Ameri- cans are justly proud of this great house, and The Item predicts that one more chance will be sufficient to con- vince 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 8: Co. -Editorial-Philadelphia Item, 3 October, 1903
