CHICAGO COMMERCE.

.. manufacturing Interests -- A
hn;-d,.-Eye View OF Ono Of thc
1-~c<t Furniture HOUSES In the
Nest.
10 much IS has been said from time to time,
.h-oreh tie daily prints, in relation to the man
nf.ctu1ing and mercantile interests OF Chicago'
.tan.nufactur3ng-o furniture interest, that has
<,n,uded dunug the past few years beyond that
o,msry others. LAS, for some reason, seemingly
4;red Int little attention. And, as It lB an &c
nc, fact that it is to the manufacturing interests
49, Chicago owes her present greatness, The
rr,arsE will 1t this time devote few lines IN
..r;sx;ne one of the largest and most prosper
49, furniture boueea in the Vest. And to that
e. e.d il viii take, for example, the extensive es-
t.hl;shment OF
H. B. HALE BRO,
xh;cb is not only the Oldest but the 1arsest and
nost extensively known fuTniture-house IL THIS
~ -,ny other Western city. Quite recently the
TaIs Bros. have purchased magnificent build
;n7. Nos 200. 202, 20l, aud 2o6 on Randolph
e.Taet Which they have just moved into. The
iIdiug is b5x1G5 feet. four stories in height, in-
Gliding basement, the whole OF which. except
lie 6rst floor, which is too much exposed to the
drst for tue display Of furniture, il occupied by
tse Hale Bros. as ehowroomB, saleerooms. fin
ishiug rooms, and storerooms for their exten-
s;Fe STOCK which, after
4 MOST THOROUGH INSPECTION,
TuE TRIBUNE does not hesitate III say!ne Is
the largest and embraces the finest and most
ccs.iy Eatterus in parlor and chamber goods, to
te found in this city. Their showroom. aud
more especially the display made IN the SHOW
v;udows, by far e3cels anything We have ever
before Eecu.
This ii,1u commenced business in 1854. and
hence has been in existence twenty yoars, dur
luz the last eighteen Of which they nave occu-

But
1uE1H BUSINESS uAs EXPANDED
to such an extent TINT it became necessary to
raEo change and, as the South Side o1erod
g:ea,er inducements both in the way Of nasnlil~
cent buildings sud greater safety from condas1a-
tons, Hale Bros. have wisely selected one OF
tie most eligible. cafe, and attractive
buildings in the city for their business. AND IN
their choice, Is also in the gruat prosperity that
has attended their operations, The IR1BCSE
takes tbs Lreseut occasion to congratulate tlen-
THE MEMBERS OF THIS FINN
sre conparatlyely young men, and yet their
business relations III commercial circles Tor many
years past have been OF such character that
hut few men in this city arc more widely or
fayorably known throughout tho Western States.
And what iH MORE their annual transactlons are
ut least one-fourth l.rger than those OF any
fu.uitu-e-house west Of the City Of New York.

4 MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE
in the general arrangement OF the above large
farui,ure-house, u feature that deserves special
meution At this time, is its hydraulic elevator
These machines are somewhat new to our clu-
zcns, consequently We do not e1pcct TO convey
BIZ adequate idea Of their utility and u6eful-
ness. ee well as the great saving OF money, rs
com},ared with other elevator contri7aucea-
THIS elevator is known as James L. Haven IL
Co.'S compound hydraulic elevator They are
the inventors, and have large manufacturing
establishment in Cincinnati. y. S. Weber. Eaq,
is the agent for these elevators IN fhls
citr. who has just favored the Hale
Bros. establishment with this new AMI
valuable invention. This is not only labor,
eay!uc, but it is . money-saying machine
T. the actual cost OF operating it will not exceed
o.c-.eath the amount involved in the use Of
other machines that are operated BY steam.

pepses. In many other hydraulic elevators
heretofore constructed as much water Is re-
CURED in rs:sing the empty platform or ignt
load Is in rais1g heavy load, and 3 great
waste Of water in such light drafts has been the
result. In the James L. Haven l. Co. machine,
however, this waste Of wafer is obvlated, Al 1t
