Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Charles L. Tiffany and the House of Tiffany and Co
The business had now grown to such proportions that the disadvantages of importing stock without a thorough per sonal knowledge of what the European markets afforded were daily growing more evident. After the addition to the firm, it was decided that one of the members should go abroad in search of novelties for their exclusive trade. This method of Mr. Tiffany's for obtaining choice selections for retailing at first hand was a unique one fifty years ago. Mr. Young was selected to make the trip, and being well supplied with letters of introduction from prominent person ages, he had an entre'e to all the leading European houses.
He returned home with the choicest examples of the novelties to be found abroad.
