Holsman's Great Jewelry Sale Pro duces a Crop of Mushroom Imitators. When the sale of $53,000 worth of manufacturer's Jewelry samples was announced by I. Holsman & Co., Wash ington street, near Sixth, It almost caused a panic in the Jewelry trade Unable to meet the prices quoted by Holsman. the gentlemen were at their wits' end to catch some of the enor mous crowds that flocked to this extra ordinary sale.. Driven to desperation some of them have inaugurated sales in a vain effort to divert a few of the crowd that go dally to Holsman's. The people are not so easily fooled as some of these Jewelers seem to think and the result has been to Increase the crowds at Holsman's, where any body who has eyes can see that such bargains can only be offered under cir cumstances that occur perhaps once In a lifetime. A glance at the show win dows at Washington street, near Sixth, will convince you that Holsman's sale Is all that has been claimed for It. DID YOU SAY PIPES?
