and its shipping and of the finest parts


of the city.
The furniture is mostly of walnut and is
of the same general style throughout with
great variety of carving, trimming and
ornament, and each set is selected with es-
pecial reference to the style and finish of
the room.
All the rooms are heated by steam, the
apparatus for which is the most perfect in
use.
The gas fixtures are always in keeping
| with the apartments and ornament instead
of ~disfguring them. Those in the Dining
Hall, Ordinary and Parlor ara particularly
elegant.
The beds, throughout the entire house,
are uniform and of the very best quality of
hair mattresses. If Mr.. Taylor's guests are
troubled with bad dreams they will be due
to " consciences i'll at ease" and not to hard
and lumpy beds. In making the changes
in the house the number of the rooms has
been reduced in order to increase their COM
fort. In their arrangement, none of the
thousand nameless trifes which add so ma
terially to the sum total of daily enjoyment
have been forgotten.
An entirely new system of signals and
bells have been adopted and it promises to
prove the most perfect yet introduced.
THE OFFICE.
The office will be on the first floor, and
the system of signals is perfect. A coat
room is close by and convenient for use.
The safe for the office is furnished by the
Detroit Safe Company. It is beautifully
finished and contains all the good qualities
of the other safes in use, and has besides
many improvements. II is made of Lake
Superior iron, is provided with Sargents
combination lcck, Is lined with iron instead
wood, and is bound solid with angle irons
which greatly strengthen the safe. The
filling used, the patent alum, is put in per-
fectly dry and cannot rust and weaken the
safe.
HoME DEALERS.
Nearly all the work OF reftting has been
placed in the hands of men in our own
city, and a large part of the heaviest orders
were filled by our own dealers. This was
done not for the sake of encouraging home
talent or business but because the rates
were actually less. The work will bear the
most rigid scrutiny in every detail, and the
articles of furniture supplied by home deal
ers are, at least, equal to those furnished by
Eastern houses. In the articles of carpet:
it would be difficult to find a larger number
of elegant patterns and s greater variety o
style and quality than has been furnished
by Beckwith & Sterling.

done by J. W. Oliphant & Co, is very cred
