Gold Mirror & Picture Frame Gilding!
JOHN 8TEVENSON WISHES TO CALL THE Attention of the General Public
to the fact that he is the only Gilder in St. John's, in tho al>ove line. Parties'have been bo.ch-
ing up or destroying Mirror Frames, of beautiful design, of late, hence my advertisement. I am
prepared to challenge any man in St. John's, for $100 a side, to compete with any samples—having
spent over ten years in the Fine Art Saloon of Kerk A Soss. Carvers and Gilders, Aberdeen,
Scotland, and having tho highest of references from the Bon-Accord Carving and Gilding Society,
of the same place. I wish the public to know, at least, that after these would-be-gilders once gets your
Frame into their hands your Framo is destroyed for ever; no Gilder can over clean off the smudge
they put on it, and it is impossible to burnish it ; a Mirror or Picture Frame s-houlil always be tipped
off with burnished gold. As I am aware of parties who are complaining of being victimised in this
way, I would bp glad to show my sample* to any pirty who may call at my shop. .Parties requiring
re-guilding done c.ui havo it done as good as can lx- Imported, if it is not I nsk no pay. Ornamental
