In keeping with this progressive move towards dressing up Clin- ton's business places, John A. An- stett has recently _ completed a step which makes his jewellery store one of the most modern in Western Ontario. The outside entrance of the store has been changed but little, except for the show windows, which incorporate fixtures set flush with the ceiling and bright new drapes, giving good promise of the modern store. Inside, the old style showcases have been replaced with new ones built of walnut and finished in gleaming cherry. The inner walls of all the wall fixtures are of light blue which forms an excellent background for showing off the china and silver pieces. Necklaces and other jewellery are displayed on the floor of the show cases, against rich red and green velvet, Open glass shelves stretch along the left side of the store, on metal supports which may be raised or lowered to accommodate different types and sixes of merchandise. ;The back of all this shelving is of deep dark green, against which the crystaiware, and china novel- ties, as well as sets of dishes are shown to good advantage, Tke rear wall of the store is papered pink, (matching the upper wall areas), and will fqrm a back- ground. behind a picture frame to display, a variety of silverware patterns, The- showcase at the rear is the only one not of the reek cherry finish, but is of light aggainstp atheedlight coloiiredd rear wall, tends to draw the custom- er's attention well back into the store. The ceiling has been lowered a good foot and a, half, and finished in squares of grooved plywood, ar- ranged so that each adjoining square has the grooves at right angles to the one next. .Painted a .light blue to match the inside a the show -cases, the ceiling has the appearance of a two-tone checker- board. At the rear of the store area is space for the watchmaker, Wil- liam Bakelaar to do his work of cleaning and repairing watches and clocks. a * * ;, ds * * * ds * *• * 4, THE CANADIAN JEWELLERS INSTITUTE WATfJII REPAIR 4' STANDARDS * The modern watch is a fine * precision instrument.
