HI. R. ArmstrouR x Co.

We take great pleasure in recommending any of our friends who may contemplate fur nishing their houses, wholly OF in part, to our esteemed acquaintanoes, Messrs. H. B. Arm strong & Co.,, 26o Chapel street. Their es- tablishmsnt is the largest and most complete of any in the city, and but few surpass it in the metropolis. Parties may furnish their houses with carpets, furniture, upholstery goods and wall decorations from the same establish ment and In perfect harmony with each other. Notwithstanding the immensity of the es- tablishment and the enormous expense they are under, the Messrs. Armstrong are actually selling goods at prices less than those ruling in the larger cities. Since opening their new furniture department their trade has greatly increased, and their parlor and chamber suites adorn many of the best mansions in tho city. It is needless for us to say that the house is one of the most reliable and trustworthy of any in the business. and we wish them the success their enterprise deserves.
