We have now reached an establishment where both the useful and the ornamental are combined to a degree that is well calculated to capture both the fancy and the contents of one's pocket book. Mr. Brattin is always on the alert at such a time as this to supply the public with the choicest products of the workmen in previous metals, the result of whose wonderful skill can only be known and appreciated by a visit to this establishment. Jewels of the purest ray can also be seen here, contributed by the great mines of the world. And then there are the clocks, and the watches, and the silverware and the table-cutlery - a large stock of all from which to make your selections and delight your friends --- kbz
