In publishing a weekly trade paper, a host of material comes to the editor's desk, and his success as the director of the publication lies chiefly in winnowing the wheat from the chaff. The great task of an editor of a jewelry trade paper is to secure accurate technical articles which do not show on their face the traces of being copied from old and perhaps obsolete works. In the course of a long apprenticeship at the editor's desk in the office of The Manufacturing Jeweler, I have learned that the men who have the technical knowledge either will not impart it to the world, or else they lack the proper powers of expression. This is the general rule, but once in a while there is an exception. The present volume is a case in point.
