In anticipation OF an increase Of their al
ready large and extensive business, Messrs.
Allen & Lindsay, the popular and energetic
furniture dealers, 1863 and III Broughton
street, recently made great improve
ments In their establishment, and have now
one of the most commodious and well ar
ranged furniture emporiums in tie South.
Another story was added to the building
and the lower fo5r or. atty enlarged and i'm
proved. All the new arrangements have
been made with special view to the dis
play Of their stock, and the facilitation Of
business. Through their indomitsble ener-
gy and enterprise, Messrs. Allen & Lindsay
have built up a prosperous and valuable
trade, and notwithstanding the enlargement
OF their establishment they have now no
more room than is absolutely required for
the conducting of their business.
The eastern portion of the first floor is
devoted to general furniture, such as ward
robes, desks, secretaries, book cases, chairs,
lounges, safes, etc., of which there is
very large assortment of every style and
price, something to suit every taste and
every purse, and hard indeed would be the
person to please who could not find In this
array the article desired.
Adjoining on the west is the carpet and
upholstery warerooms, and in this section is
located the office, which is partitioned off
and is a neat and cosy place, where busy
clerks may be seen from morn till night.
This year the firm are carrying the largest
and best stock Of carpets they have ever
had, their stock amounting to over $50, 900,
and embracing all the latest designs and
patterns in velvet, Brussels, Tapestry, in
grain, etc. Their assortment Of wall papers,
window shades, upholstery goods, rugs,
mats, oil cloths and mattings is varied and
complete.
The eastern half of the second floor is
devoted to the exhibition Of chamber fur
niture, and 1t is a sight worth seeing. Some
Of the sets are superb, and the line is 80 ex
tensive that you may find something suit
able for the cottage or the most fashionable
and costly mansion. The floor adjoining
on the west is thoroughly stocked with ele-
CANT and beautiful psrlor sets, in hair, rep
silk and other material, all Of the latest
make and style. In fact there cannot be
niture than is here displayed.
The third fl 0ors are used for the storage
OF general furniture, aud here the unpack-
ing is done, and the various articles put in
order and adjusted. On this )or is also the
work room where mattresses sre made, fur
niture upholstered, repairing done, etc., the
firm keeping constantly on hand large
Some idea of the extensive character Of
the establ shment msy be inferred from the
description; It is truly a mammoth EN-
porium, and its prosperity is tribute to the
industry, enterprise and business sscacity
Of the worthy firm, who have ever becn TN
PEELED by the determination to offer the sec
tion tributary to Savannah and our own
citizens every advantage TO furnish their
houses beautifully and fashlonsbly at very
moderate cost. Their stock is complete in
every particular, and certainly is not ex-
celled by any similar house In the State.
Messrs. Allen & Lindsay, in an attractive
advertisement in this issue, invite the
public to call at their establishment and in
spect their stock, and anyone in need OF
such articles will find the visit we'll made.
The firm can fill the largest orders promptly,
and their prices will be found satisfactory.
