The Industries of DublinHistorical, statistical, biographicalAn account of the leading business men, commercial interests, wealth and growth . e superiority of its manufactures, the nameit bears being a guarantee of excellence in all that pertains to thejewellers and silversmiths art; in fact, the firm has always prided itselfupon keeping none but first-class goods in stock, such as are to be obtainedin the best London houses, and for this rcison it soon gained the con-fidence of the public, and quickly established a prosperous business. The firm occupies extensive premises, built expressly for the business in1S45, and the massive appearance presented bj- the solid cut granite build-ing, of which we give an illustration, forms a striking feature in the thorough-fare. The show-rooms are of considerable sze. the front one alone measuringabout sixty-two feet in depth by forty-two feet wide, and are admirablyplanned and fitted up with a view to the attractive display of the choice andvaluable stock. Within the last few years the shop has been entirely re-fitted, at a cost, wc understand, of some thousands of pounds, the ebonised. and gilt woodwork, and the large sheets of plate-glass, which form theijhrjw-cascs, bemg designed and modL-lk-d after the very latest style. Tileeffect produced by the numerous mirrors, the , windows, andcounters filled with plate and jewellery, is, particularly when the lamps arelit, most attractive, and we doubt if there is anything prettier of the kindto be seen in the kingdom. In each of the departments purchasers may feel confident of finding anample selection to clioose from ; jewellery of evciy description, s Ivcr andplaleil ware, gold apd silver walclies, clocks, suitable for dining-rooms,drawing-rooms, and studies, all arc temptingly displayed. Messrs. West & Son are, liowcver, perhaps most celebrated for theirstocks of Ornaments, Gkm Rings, and Antique Plate,which are undoubtedly the finest wc have seen in Ireland
