Giles, Bro. & Co.
The magaificent establishment of Giles, Bro. & Co., at No. 266 and 269 Wabash avenue, is one of the richest in the country. In their fine stock of diamonds and jewelry generally, they present to the purchaser no old material, but offer new styles at old prices. Their diamonds and pearls are of all sizes, set and unset. They have coral sets, direct from Naples, and rubies, sapphires, amethysts, topazes in endless number. In the matter of watches, Giles, Bros. have an immense stock of American and Geneva make. They have every variety of silver and silver plate.
Whoever wishes to purchase a rich and tasteful holiday present and cannot find it at Giles’ is likely to go without it.
