The lower story is level with Frederick st.
II Is devoted solely to ordinary chamber l"lS rids
kitchen furniture, &c, Of which there il IN n-
lmcnsr stock. comprising great many varieties of
style and description.
| he second Door, that on level with Gay St.
contains great variety IF furniture. which is
lplaccd here. we believe. more ~ samples OF s. ylrs
mad descriptions than for purposes Of sale. Here
arc found fancy bcdstcads. sofas. rockin: chairs
warlrobes tables stands. &c, from thc very finest
descriptions 10 ordinary cherry or made furniture
which the most economical housckccper is almost
compelled to possess.
On the third floor is magnificent display of

durability. and are held at prices more Suitable to
The purse Of the man of moderate income.
The fourth story contains an astonishing variety

among which are extension tables. of every size;
lounges. scttces, dining-room chairs, &c

One striking popularity Of this establishment is
the facility with which any single piece OF fu,n-
ture contained in il can be shown without disturb
ing any other piece, This affords the pit hascr Il
fair chance to examine III! and select to suit his
own taste or j dymcrt and any on wishing to
make purchases in This line. who could NOT he
suited here, must certainly be most extremely fas
tidious.
| Another advantage of red here is the fact that
there are sufficient nnmbyr of polite and obligirg
salesmcn to wait on all who may come in; and it
Is made tho duty Of these, to show the establish
mcnt throughout to any who may call and express
desire 10 pass through it. even though they should
not be purchasers This establishment is frequent
| ~ visited by strangers fom Bos on, New ork and
ihlhdcl phia, SOME Of whom engaged p the
same business. and all agree in pronruncng it the
most extensive rs well as the best managed furn-
tnie warehouse in this country.
| we have already said that no manufacturing is
done in this building. Mr. Ms furniture is man
uf"ctnrcd by his employees but in several differ
ent shops, each under the supervision of an excel
lont and competent foreman. The relation he
occupies TO his workmcu is such that any piece Of
bad work may be thrown back upon their hands,
without dcrmen To his interests, and the result
| Is that complaints are seldom heard of any article
| OF furniture sent hom this mammoth Erniture
warehouse.
Another great dcsidcratum to the purchaser is
thc low prices at which Mr. Ms system cuublcs
him to furnish amy article in his line. In this re-
spcet The inducements he offers are fully equal to
those oi any other competitor cihcT here or in
o'h're ties. And, ag lin, after the purch $ have
lnhided their bargaining, they may repair to the
spacious observatory, which 5uimounts the builft-
ing and enjoy asp.sndid view Ut the city.
