Appleton & Co, Importers and Dealers in Cutlery, Fancy Hardware, Skates and Fishing Tackle, No. 304 Washington Street. \u2013 The most progressive firm engaged in the importation and sale of cutlery, Leather goods, fancy hardware, fishing tackle and skates, in this city is that of Messrs. Geo. B. Appleton & Co. Their methods, character and quality of stock bear no comparison with the average dealer in this line. Every class in the community finds it pleasant and profitable to buy here, where is carried the finest assortment in this line in town. The business of this enterprising house was originally established January 1, 1883, by Messrs. Appleton & Litchfield, who were succeeded by the present firm on November 15, 1887. The store is spacious and attractive, and the proprietors bring to bear ample resources and perfected facilities in collecting together from the four corners of the earth such a bewildering, yet charming display of the unique and the useful, the novel and the beautiful, in the lines of cutlery, fancy hardware, fishing tackle, etc. The stock embraces the products of the most celebrated makers both in Europe and America. In cutlery the assortments include the best ivory handled knives, forks, carvers, slicers, steels, knife-rests, spoons of solid silver and heaviest electro-plate; also, beautiful sets of knives, forks and spoons in satin-lined cases, admirably suited for wedding and holiday presents. In fancy hardware Messrs. Appleton & Co. show one of the largest and most serviceable varieties in America, while as regards fishing tackle the assortment is unequaled anywhere for material, design and novelty. It is simply impossible to particularize, or to attempt an enumeration of the goods in stock. It is safe to say they keep everything. The copartners, Messrs. Geo. B. Appleton and Charles Z. Bassett, are both natives of Boston and gentlemen of large experience, eminent business ability and strict integrity.<\/p>\n
