There are several places In different
parts Of Wheeling where the casual passer

new beauty impressed upon his soul, o

one Of our most enterprising dealers In
this attractive department, we remember
from what small beginning this branch
Of business has grown to be one OF con-
siderable magnitude. Early in thdwar L.
Neilender, young German OF very lin

decided taste for pictures and paintings,
set up business in the little sky.blue box
that stood on very small portion, OF the
ground now occupiedDy the Opera House
A very few books and small assort-
ment Of common prints comprised his
stock in trade. The war doomed up in
larger and larger proportions, pictures Of
battle scenes, cheap engravings OF the
prominent actors in the progressing
drama rolled from the press. in myriads
and were thrownIbsoadcast over the land.
Our German friend was quick 10 perceive
bis advantage and as quickly dropped the
book mart Of his business and went for
pictures lively. r,ry.4e sag;
The town was fill OF soldiers and
strangers and his prints and cngravings
sold like hot cakes. His small business
house was throngedi like the doors OF a
panic struck bank, but our friend was
equal 10 the emergency and hung his
wares on the outer wall and sold on the
Curbstone. As his means increased land
they increased rapldlyO he ventured
upon pictures illustrative and comment

style worth framing. Still eager TO en-
nance the character Of his business, he
gratified his own higher taste in adding
now and then a painting or Q chrome,
such as would attract the better class Of
purchasers, til. finally the little shell
could no longer hold his business.
He fitted upIinew, quarters under the
Mcclure House, and for several years bis
room was the attractive feature OF the
square. MIR. tNeilender was the first 10
