/ Tomorrow the now rooms Of the Wilson Sow
ing-Machine Company at No. 1911 State street,
next to the corner OF Adams street, will be
thrown open for the inspection Of the public.
This Company has been later than some Of the
others in leaving the remote parts OF the city to
which they were driven BY the fire, but it has
| done so merely in order to have the time to
finish on the new quarters in the richest and
/ most expensive manner. This place fronts both
| On State and Adams streets, not including, how
! ever, the corner store. It thus runs
back 120 feet, making one Of the finest show
| rooms in the city. The striking feature OF this
room ts not it's size, however, but the handsome,
tasteful. and even sumptuous manner in which
it il lifted up. It shows everywhere that it has
been dome under the supervision Of man Of ro-
hnement aud good taste. The floor is covered
| with beautiful carpet, which came from
stewarts establishment in New York, and cost
S., 500. The ceiling is frescoed, BY i Chicago
artist, 80 as to form perfect match for the car
pet. There is nothing loud or exaggerated in
color The upper part Of the, walls is
part Just above tho base-boards is
marb1ed, while the intermediate space is
colored with refreshing neutral tint The
cost OF this frescoing alono was 63, 800, while
nearly s10, 900. During the day, abundant light
is furnished from the grand windows on the two
Streets while by night it is lit up by s1 elegant
gold-gilt twelve-lght chandeliers. The thfead,
allk-twlst, and needle-case, which Is Of carved

Inarble-top counter, is On the righthand aide Of
the main room, near the centre. At the ends Of
this counter are two magnificent bronze figures,
cast from patterns specially drawn for the

HnfFADcA AyfAnda oF

niture, is made by .Patzack l. Schultz, OF this
city; This partition is in itself work Of art,
establishment fronting on Adams street I is is Ieo re-
served for office purposes. Still beyond on
Adams streetis large room used for adjusting,
Where all the machines go before they leave the
rooms The Company also leases the entire
basement, covering area Of {, 600 square feet,
which is used for packing purposes.
The merits Of the Wilson sewing-machine are
too wel-known to need any special praise. 4
purely Western machine, it has had to fight !
for they were all united against it. Its cheapnens
and superiority made it 8 dangerous rival, to be
crushed out at all hazards, if possible But AIr.
Wilson has fought his good fight, and has won
against al opposition, fact plainly proven by
which are to be opened Tomorrow. These ma
chimes have Won such general favor, since they |
are sold at prices rs per cent lower |
than any other frst~class machine, and since
they are simple to handle, durable, and Of un-
limited capacity. Each purchaser also obtains |
written warrant Of his machine for five years.
The manager Of the Office here is Mr. George |
Sawyer, gentleman Of great business capacity, |
who has been here for year, and who, during
that time, has made for himself host
Of friends. This machine is not only the
invention Of Western man, but it is also
made in the West, the manufactory being at
Cleveland, tiye-story building 1so feet by 60,
where about 500 workmen are employed.
No matter whether one wishes to buy q ma
chine or not, there Fill be no place on State
street which will be better worth visiting tomor-
TOW than the magnificent rooms which the VIII
'on Sewing Machine Company have occupied
md which are an unexcelled specimen Of Chica-
20 workmanship and good taste.
