Ori-ginality and variety of design are much more import-ant features. A firm that departs from the beatentrack and produces an article that competitors havenot thought of doesnt have to figure so closely onprices. But if at the same time the special article. can be produced at a reasonable rate the success of thefirm is at once secured. The Imperial Art Glass andLamp Works, 26-32 Sullivan street, this city, underthe proprietorship of J. Vallin and Philip Le Berthon,have achieved this in the Persian filigree lamp illus-trated above. It is truly oriental in conception andmost artistic in effect. The concern makes both gasand electric portable lamps, and has a large variety of 9 art glass domes. Inverted art shades are also to befound there in profusion. In fact, anything in thelamp line can be readily obtained, Prompt deliveryis a strong point in their favor. IN TOWN.
