close, hot and contracted, and there is no
doubt the employees who are compelled to
sit there from o'clock in the morning un-
til 10 o'clock at night getting off their little
stereotype speech to each one as they pass
by, wish heartily for the 1lth of October to
draw near.
John A. Mohlenhoff 46 and 4S Fountain
Square, certainly takes the lead for beauty
and elegance of the wares displayed and
their tasty arrangement. In one case we
have that elegant set of bronzes three feet
high, representing an Arab chief and his
specimens of Royal Dresden, Capo di
Monti French and other Chinas; while a
third contains some rare pieces of French
Bisque, Majolica and Bohemian goods.
Judging that a firm making display 80
large and beautiful must be an interesting
place to visit, we called at the house on
Fifth street. and were shown through at
first large and beautiful retail sales-room
packed with thousands of pieces
of every imaginable style, design
and price, in china, glass, bronze,
jolica-Faience crockery and yesevan
common white and yellow ware, for this
firm has an assortment from yellow dish
for cents to Bohemian vases at 500 pair.
After looking through this department we
were invited to step up stairs to the whole
sale rooms and we must say we were totally
unaware of the magnitude of this branch
of the firm. The second floor is packed
cram full of goods in Bohemian ware and
fine china The third floor is devoted to
glassware and crockery, and the fourth to
white china, Majolica, etc. This house
is now in the midst of its fall trade, and
the activity and hustle prevailing in the
establishment certainly looked as if good
times had come. In all our observations
we did not see single full package OF
goods, and on inquiry we're told that there
was no room in the building for them, and
large warehouse OH Lodge street is de-
voted to that purpose. This firm comes
in direct competition with New York and
Baltimore, and claim to sell their goods al
Eastern quotations Last year their i'm.
ports headed the list of Cincinnati import
ers with 1883 packages, which number
will be largely exceeded this year.
