On the 10Th Of May last Mr.. O. McFar-
land opened a wholesale grocery store at No.
81 Robert street, the store formerly occupied
by Noyes Bros. Il Cutler. He came to St.
Paul about eight years ago from Wisconsin,,
where he had been engaged in trade for ten
years, for the purpose of improving his
health, and WIS for several years owner of
the Park Place Hotel. About three years
ngo he embarked in the package business at
Seven Corners, but finding tho grocery trade
more congecial hs decided to engage in it,
which he did as above stated. His large &C.
Quaintance throughout the Northwest soon
attracted large trade, and the year closes
with total sales amounting to from $3.50, 900
to 100000, his trade extending through all
tho States and territories of the Northwest.
Mr.. Mcfarland occupies tho three stories
and basement Of the store, 25x100 feet in di
mansions. He expects to largely increase
his facilities during the coming year, and to
double his sales. His stock comprises every
thing usually found in wholesale grocery
houses, and is fresh and comprehensive.

CARPETS.
John Mutheis.

The carpet branch of st. Paul's trade has
kept apaee with the times, and as St. Paul
has increased from 1000 people to over 5o,-
600, SO has John Matheis, the
pioneer carpet man of Minnesota,
kept charging his quarters to &C.
commodate his fast increasing trade. A
retrospective view of this popular house
leads US back to 1861, in very small frame
building on upper Third street, where 3d.
600 would buy the whole stock. Mr.. Matheis
was porter, salesman and proprietor COM
bined, content in counting up his profits ct
night, to find little in the till over and above
the cost of his goods and his small
expenses. Fair dealing brought more cus-
TONERS, and enlarged quarters were neces-
sary. In 1864 the old King carpet store was
leased by Mr.. Matheis, nicely fitted up and
larger stock opened up for inspection and
sale. In 1866 another move was made to
Concert Hall block, but in 1867 the Maxfeld
block offered attractions, and Mr.. Matheis
entered into lease for one of its comnnodi-
GUS stores for term of years. The increased
size of the store called for an increased stock,
and New York was visited, purchases made,
and the daily papers announced that Mr..
Matheis would exhibit to the st. Paul people
a larger stock of carpets in few days than
could be found in the Northwest. This was
no vain boast. It reality. After
remaining here for nine years, de-
sire to get farther down town in
duced Mr.. NJ. to negotiate for
the extensive establishment henow occupies,
and the move was made to No. IL East
Third street. Here We find him to-day, and
in addition to the store he occupies from
basement up, We find him extending over
No. 8 on the one side, and No. 10 on the
other, thus giving him one carpet room 75x
$50, or the largest room in St. Paul for
carpet salesroom. Here are arranged the
various products of the loom, from the rich
velvets, Brussels, Administer, etc., to the
cheaper grades of two and three-ply. One
floor in the building is devoted entirely to oil
cloths and store mattings, window shades
and cornices. Tho general salesroom is, of
course, on the ground floor,
where large stock of wall
papers and upholstering goods are to be
found, while the basement is used for storage
of moss. and upholstering materials. The
upper story is used for a mattress factory,
and q large number of hands are constantly
employed at this work. Skilled mechanics
are to be found in the various departments.
Paper hangers are sent out by Mr.. Matheis
for hundreds of miles around, to fill orders
that are constantly coming in by mail for
this kind of work. It is gratifying to know
that this well known house is enjoying q
healthy business after SO many years of close
figuring to keep right side up and meet all
the demands upon IL ...~ ..-.--..

DRY GOODS.

ANerbach, Finch, CaslbeTts0f g. Co.
The history of the great dry good house of
Messrs. Kuerbach, Finch, Culbertson & Co. is
a fitting comment upon the growth and pro-
gress of the city of St. Paul. The house was
first established in 1868 as an exclusive whole
sale establishment by Messrs J. L. Fore
paugh and Maurice Auerbach, under the firm
name of j. L. Forepaugh & Co. There
were many in the city at that time who
looked upon the new departure with doubts
as to the success of the enterprise in bust
ness point of view. The energetic men at
its head, however, had no such doubts They
had locked the matter over thoroughly and
taken into account all the possibilities and
probabilities. With firm faith in the fu-
ture of st. Paul as the great commercial CEN
ter of the Northwest they INTERESTINGLY in
vested their capital and laid the foundations
of business which only few years ago
would have been considered marvellous. The
first five years business amounted to about
5000, 900, and has increased from that time
until the business of the house during the
incredible sum of three million dollars
The business was conducted by j. L..
Forepaugh & Co. until the year 1868, when
Mr.. Forepaugh retired and the firm name
was changed to that of Auerbach, Finch &
Scheffer, and remained so until Mr.. Charles
Scheffer's death in 1876, when it was
changed to the present firm of Auerbach,
Finch, Culbertson & Co.
-Four times have they been compelled to
change their quarters in order to find sufi-
oient space to accommodate their large and
constantly growing trade. At present they
are located on the corner of Fourth and Jack
son streets, in the magnificent block erected
expressly for them by Commodore Davidson
building has front of $50 feet
on Jackson street, by ITO feet on
Fourth. It has four stories with base
ment, and every inch of the five spacious
floors is not only occupied, but already there
is necessity for more room. The basement
is filed with domestic cottons, the first floor
with dry goods, woolens, etc., the second
with notions, the third with fancy goods, and
the fourth is used largely as a mandatory.
