". III. BERRY'S FURNITURE
WAREROOMS.

Of the many models of convenience
aud "eatnes< for customers, proprietor
aud employees, few in this city can
SurpasS, if equal, the furniture ware
rooms Of Mr. NJ. II. Berry. Main
street, ncxt door to the Wheeler
House. Yesterday We had the oppor-
tunlty OF inspecting the same from
cellar to garnet.
The basement is in size like the
rooms above, one hundred by twenty
FIVE feet. aired out at either end. an
Improvement in building, both for
light, ventilation and room, never lost
sight Of III Northern cities and just
coming into vogue here. This room
is used for storage Of a cheaper class
Of furniture, whcelbarrows, bedsteads,
&c: also as the undcrtakers' furnish
ing department. The rows Of coAius
Of every description eases: body pre-
servers, that are 50 arranged as to pre-
serve the body OF a deceased person
for an indefinite time, are calculated
to make it appear i little colder in
this underground storehouse than it
really is. However, many Of the nee
essities Of life are stored hear, and
large variety of those needed at the
end Of it.
The ground or first story above is
used for the display Of general va
riety Of furniture, including almost
everything needed to 90 to keeping
house with-from the neatest and
tidiest little cradles to extension tables
Of the most improved pattern. At
the rear Of this room is the Office, and
adjoining that the fitting and finish
ing up room, for in shipping furni-
ture hardly any comes through un-
scathed, all of it needing here and
there the touching up Of experienced
workmen, who are kept constantly en-
ployed at this work
In the story above is Kept the fine
class Of furniture, and is really the
show room Of the establishment, con-
tanning nearly every variety Of parlor
suits at all kinds of prices, chamber
suits of all kinds. lounges Of the most
elegant manufacture, chairs Of the
best make and many styles of ward
robes, whatnots, ETC., etc; in short,
this room, even if you don't want to
purchase inst now, is we'll worth
visit to note the taste display in de-
sign and manufacture.
The fourth story is used for the
storage Of duplicate sets, and every
space is utilized, as is the case all over
the building. as fast as room below is
made by reason of sales other furniture
| is moved down to FIJI it. A conven-
| lent elevator is arranged at the rear of
the building, and an entrance on Plain
street keeps the front Of the building
free from obstruction.
| The building isself is Que Of the
most substantially built Of any in the
city. Something of q novelty in the
way Of building is erected in the
rear of the main structure, it being a
two-story building, built Of single
brick walls with jointed stays and
braces, it being used for repairs, fit
ting up, &c, and the second story for
mattresss making.
The stock of mattresses and spring
beds now on hand is the best that can
be produced including the United
States spring: the Tucker springs and
others, but the best of all is the wire
net springs, which took the only gold
medal ever awarded for such goods al
the American Institute exhibition:
New York.
