orders for early delivery this week. The new
hall Of Charles Masters, on Clark street, and tho
elegant establishment OF II. Ganly, at the cor
ner OF Twenty second street and Indiana ave-
nue., both OF which will be opened in few days,
are supplied with tables from this factory hay
ing the celebrated Phe1au Il Collender cushion,
are agents here. The same tables csn be found
in 3 host OF -Bmaller rooms, presided over By
men who can appreciate what rea1ly excellent
and beautiful table is The Office and factory Of
the firm is located at No. 81 Lake street, north
east corner OF State, and should not be con-
founded with any establishment which cannot
