“The Manufacturing Jewellers’ Association of this city commences the third series of their Gift Concerts this evening. The sale of tickets commenced on Monday, the 12th inst., for the Eighth and Ninth Concerts. Let all those who wish to make a beautiful present to their true loves, buy a ticket and get a piano or a butter knife.”
“A certain poet once remarked that what he gave away was nothing to nobody. Now, what the Jewellers’ Association give away is something to everybody, as can be seen by wending your way, dear reader, to their office for the sale of tickets for the concerts on Broadway, and there you will find many a man made supremely happy by having received, in addition to his ticket for a first-class concert, a piano, cantor, watch chain, or some other article worth from $10 to even double what you invested. It’s a great institution is that same Jewellers’ Association. Invest your dollar and draw a prize.”
