This Is one part of tho story; "William and Arthur Sylvester approbated ap-probated all they sold. They dealt In works of art wonderful old pieces of Sheraton and Chippendale and Adam, brought In tho holds of heaving sailing sail-ing vessels from over seas; pieces made by American cabinet men, perhaps per-haps moro wonderful still. Often tho brothers discovered a treasure of such cabinet work which was Individual Individ-ual nnd aroused In their sentimental breasts patriotic enthusiasm. "Work could bo done in this country coun-try If pcoplo only know It, William often said to Arthur. Thero aro plenty plen-ty of Sheratons; but how many pieces like this old clock made by somo fel low who camo over In thu Mayflower. "Ho pointed to an ancient tlmo-plcco tlmo-plcco which stood directly beforo them. "Yes, agreed William, that is n clock; and yet people will buy clocks made in Germany and England ,and leave standing here this old clock made In our own country when It first was a country." |
