Mr. George ID. Blocher has NOV
ed into his new residence. For
economy ofroom, arrangement and
convenience, il is far ahead Of any
residence in this city. The resi-
dence is in the secondand third sto
ries, above his store rooms. The
parlors, chambers, sitting and din
ing rooms, bath room and kitchen
are all conveniently located and ar
ranged on one floor Every room
is supplied with gas, and the kitch
en- supplied with water. An admi
rable arrangement. q worthy Of
note, is an attachment TO tie cook
stove, by which tn bath room, in
q distant part Of the house, is at all
times supplied with both hot and
cold water. The same arrange
ment furnishes hot water for kitch
in purposes, without the necessity
of keeping pots or kettles on the
stove for that purpose. 1t is new
and novel design, and to be
appreciated must be seen. We are
inclined to think when once seen
Ct will be adopted by many who
have or propose having bath rooms
in their dwellings.
