NORMAN & ROBSON
Sydney
The most valuable pearl ever found in Australia was obtained the other day by Norman & Robson, at the pearling grounds in Western Australia. It is described as a large “button” pearl, weighing 28 carats, and is perfect both in color and shape. It is difficult to estimate its value, but it is said the proprietors refused £500 cash for it. It was sent to W. Robson, of Sydney, and that gentleman intends to send the pearl to the London market unless he can obtain £1,000 for it in Sydney.

Re: Early Australian Silversmiths
The trade here learns that two young men, recent arrivals in Australia from England, have been arrested in connection with the death of the manager of a jewelry store in Adelaide. He kept an appointment at one of the hotels with a selection of jewelry for inspection by prospective customers, and was later found dead in one of the rooms. The body was covered with a sheet and chloroform apparently had been used. Death appeared to be due to strangulation.

A Survey of the New Watch Case Industry in Australia
The watch case industry, a comparatively new trade in Australia, is growing, according to a report received recently by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce at Washington, D. C. The survey was made by Trade Commissioner E. G. Babbitt, Sydney, and his findings published in a recent issue of the Commerce Reports. It reads as follows :
“The manufacture of watch cases was undertaken in Australia a little over a year ago. The attempt was not at first well received, as dealers felt that the Australian product could not possibly compete with the Swiss standard. Switzerland supplies more than half of the watches sold in Australia. In the fiscal year 1924, of imports valued at £405,316, those from Switzerland amounted to £290,074. In the fiscal year 1925 Swiss imports amounted to £288,520 out of a total of £398,212.
“The watch cases now being made are said to compare favorably with imported articles, both in quality and variety of design. The tariff has, accordingly, been amended to benefit the local industry. All watch movements imported into Australia to be placed in Australian-made cases are to be admitted free. Complete wristlet watches, partly or wholly of precious metals and parts, are governed by the following tariff regulation: British preferential tariff, 10 per cent.; intermediate tariff, 20 per cent.; and general tariff, 30 per cent.
The watch case industry under present management is an all-Australian, self-contained one. The gold is bought from the Australian mint, the machinery used is of Australian manufacture, and Australian silver and copper are used for alloying the gold.”
