A PALATIAL CHICAGO STORE.-The
latest mercantile sensation in Chicago is the open
ing of the new mammoth dry goods establishment
of Messrs j. v. FARwELL 81 Co., at Nos. 1906 10S,
l10and 1l2 Wabash avenue. Their premises occupy
the middle of the new monster block between
Washington and Madison streets, and are u feet
front by l64 feet Deep their seven floors, the upper
running the full depth. No expense has been
spared to make everything as attractive possible
to customers and they have erected dummy ele-
improvement over foot travel up and down those
immense stories. They have beside two steam
elevators for goods, both OF which are necessary
for their immense trade.
The sales of this house were last year nearly
$40 1000, which figure they expect to exceed
this year. No figures, however can give any just
idea of the magnitude OF their trade, without
visit to the premises themselves. 1t is almost
unnecessary to mention that this firm has been for
many years past at the head of the dry goods
trade in that city.
