The wcll-known hardware and furniture
store of Mr.. Levi G.. Kingsley, in this vii
lagc is already famous in its good qualities
and number of patrons. while in immediate
connection Herewith is an establishment
of considerable extent and much merit that
Is not so widely known. This is the cabinet
mandatory and of this we intend to speak
at this time. The shop is located in the
rear of Kingsleys store. and fronts on Eve
Ign street. and here is where the principal
portion of the furniture sold by Mr.. Kings

still more Importance to the outside world.
The foreman and leading man in the bust
ness is Mr.. Daniel Chittcndcn. who has
charge of the cabinet work, while Mr.. G..

mcnt. The work turned out at this cstab-
lishment consists mainly of fine Office fur
niture, chamber suits of both ash and wal
nut. dining room furniture such as side
boards and extension tables, ladies and
gentlcmens writing desks, book cases of
different design, and library furniture of all
kinds. The business has been carried on
for the past twelve years During that
time the reputation of the work has steadi-
~ increased and large outside business is
being done at the present time. Mr..
Chittcnden is a workman of much ability
and his taste in design and excellence in
execution are plainly demonstrated in every
instance where his skill has been taxed.
The furniture ware-rooms of Mr.. Kingsley
are sufficient guaranty of good workman
ship in the fine samples that fill them. But
we propose to mention more especially q
few instances of work that has been done
by contract for other parties.
First we would call the attention of the
public to the fitting-up of the rooms
occupied by the Rutland County bank or
Merchants Row. These were fitted up ant
finished entirely by the worlmcn from tn,
shop of Mr. Kingsley, and their appearance
at the present time is n credit to the man

The Howe Sewing Machine rooms in thi
village at the corner of Centre and Vale
streets were also fitted up by the SAM
hands. The general agent from New Yorl
State, after seeing the rooms here, was 81
much pleased that he Immediately decided
upon having the same work done for him

the same. Mr. Chittenden has taken TIN

The double counter in the stationery room
of the GLOBE Paper Company, was mad
