The number of jewelers represented among the exhibitors at the Canadian National Exhibition has been decreasing of late years, and this season only two firms made a display. Ambrose Kent & Sons occupied a central position in the Manufacturers’ building with full lines of fine gem jewelry, watches and souvenirs. The most noteworthy item was an exact reproduction of the Manufacturers’ building entirely encased in diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls and other precious stones. The model is 15 inches in length and its value, $38,000.; The firm also displayed a $3,500 necklet of handsome design, in diamonds, opals and pearls. The Standard Silver Co., Toronto, showed a large and tastefully arranged collection of silverware.
