molh furniture house of M. Kreisl
Co., corner OF Congress Avenue ant
Bois d. Arc street. Few people ar
aware Of the magnitude of this estab
lishment. 1t Is unquestionably The
largest furniture house in Texas.
THE FRONT ENTRANCE,
On Congress Avenue, has at all time
in front of it an attractive display o
the neatest and latest designs IN Car
pets, furniture, rugs, mats, hous
decorations, ornaments, etc. Every
body is invited to examine their i'm
mense and varied stock, and g
through the establishment, even
they do not come to buy. This hous
began business here under the pres
ent firm name in 1877, and has stead
lily grown, until now the firm ship
goods to San Antonio, Waco, Dallas
Houston, Mexico and Arizona. Buy
enabled to sell cheap; handling non
but first class goods, they Great
confidence, hence their Jremendou
trade and immense sales.
In the front of the store is the mu
sic and fancy goods department
Here will always be found a yer,
full and complete line of music ant
musical instruments, fine holida
goods, bisque statuary, the lates
things in plaque ornamental work, ia
pan and Chinese cabinet work, ches
stands, fine lamps, ETC., etc.
THE MAIN FLOOR
is literally jammed with furniture o
all kinds-safes, tables, book cases
combined book case and desks, com
bined bureau, book case and desks

mon glass to the finest French plate

ing cabinets. with full length mirror
in fact, everything in the line of fur
niture of all kinds and of every quail
ity made in the world.
The room back of the front hall i
divided into two cempartments-c
pets and cabinet work and boxing
The line of carpets kept by this hous
is really something immense. In n,
house in Texas can such larre ant
varied stock, both as to variety ant
quality, be found from which t.
make selection. 1t is impossible t.
give details. They are receiving
new designs as rapidly as they ar
manufactured at the great carpet fac
tories of America and Europe, an
consequently never carry old styles
and it is only necessary to say tina
any style and quality Of carpets, rugs
mats, ETC., etc, can always be found a
M. Kreisle Cos.
THE SECOND FLOOR
Is the place the ladies run up bills i
making homes attractive and comfort
able. 1t is used exclusively for tn
very fine and always complete and elt
CANT array of parlor suites. There ]
absolutely nothing made anywhere i
the furniture line for parlors, DRAWN
rooms or sitting rooms which canno
be found at M. Kreisle's. Besides thei
full line of complete parlor sets i
in silk, satin, plush, velve
mohair, etc., they have lour
ges, folding sofas, sofa-beds-ne'
patents, etc.
The fact is, THE STATESMAN repr'
sentative was astonished to see such
mammoth stock of goods here, and
only shows what enterprise, energ
and reliability will do. In addition t
the floors described, and the immens
stock this house has, the third floor {
the building is piled high with the
goods, besides which they have a yer
large wareroo.n at 612 Congress Ay
enue, which is always kept full, in o.
der to supply their immense trad
Their invoices and bills of lading wi
show that they are now CONSTANT
shipping to New Mexico, Arizoni
Mexico, Dallas, San Antonio an
other points in Texas.
The above are al facts, and th
public generally have remained ignt
rant of them longer than they shoul
have done, and THE STATEsMA
takes pleasure in publishing tn
extensive establishment to the worlt
as it IS really a credit to Austin an
to Texas. People of this section wisl
ing furniture or anything in tn
honse-furnishing line should Civ
them a call. Merchants who wish I
purchase in job lots can do muc
better with them than by sending
st. Louis OF other markets away frol
home.
