NICoLs & DEAN.
The display made by Messrs. Niools 6
Dean, the well known dealers in iron and
heavy hardware, made one of the most
striking displays in the whole procession.
Besides the exhibition of general hardware
and other specimens Of articles in their
line they had an immense anvil ut least
fifteen feet in length and large otherwise
in proportion elevated to the top of a
large wagon. The effect was striking, and
told the whole story of their business as
fully as it could have been explained in
words.
H BOSTON II PIICR CLOTHING HOUSE.
AAAO b1Odo RduRSO OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, EEdU
Is known from St. Paul to China, had a
display that was in keeping with the we'll
established character of the house, and that
was cute in design. It had several teams
on parade. One was a broad platform
which was strung around with all varieties
of mems and boys clothing cut and made
into every conceivable form. Immediately
behind this was another team consisting Of
an open carriage containing four Chinese
gentlemen who had come all the way from
China to buy their clothing of the Boston
One Price clothing house. Il was q stick
exhibition.
THE MANNHEIMER BROS. DISPLAY.
This was one of the grandest exhibits in
the whole line of the procession and at
the same time wes one of the most costly.
The goods exhibited by this great dry
goods firm were unquestionably the most
valuable in the whole line of the parade.
The store itself whence these goods were
taken is by far the largest and best retail
dry goods house in st. Paul. It is elegant
in its outside appearance and is filled with
the most costly and valuable articles
usually kept in first class dry
goods houses, and yesterday being
of the biggest days that st. Paul ever
saw, the firm concluded to make a display
worthy of the reputation of the house.
The firm therefore placed the whole matter
of draping the building in the hands of
MI. Horton, who formed the design, which
was very simple and elegant, and at the
same time very snowy. By universal ad-
mission it was the most handsomely deco
rated and beautifully draped building in
st: Paul. 1t nowhere had its equul. Be-
sides the outside draping, the display in
the massive windows fronting on Third
street was grand beyond all power of de-
scription. Thu goods we're of the most
costly character, and they were put into
remarkably attractive and artistic forms
and positions. The draping was exquisite,
and all day long crowds of people gath
cred around those beautiful windows and
admired again and again the lovely goods
therein displayed. In the procession the
firm had several wagons loaded with
costly fabrics. One team was set
apart for valuable fancy silks and laces,
displayed in a wonderfully attractive and
snowy manner. Besides the silks and laces
there was a world of Persian goods OF
beautiful patterns, Indian shswls, MORE
antiques, imported fans formed of grace
full ostrich feathers and tips. Wherever
these wagons went bearing this world of
wealth, they attracted unusual attention,
and many times all along the route they
provoked the applause of the
immense crowds that witnessed
the display. The Mannheimer Bros.
never do anything by halves. When they
started to construct the store they now &C.
cupy they determined to have the hand
soonest, largest, most convenient and most
desirable dry goods house in the whole
northwest. They employed competent ar
fists to design AID plan it and the result is
that they undoubtedly now have the most
complete dry goods establishment west of
Chicago. 1t is a great establishment
and as far surpasses all other similar es-
Establishments in the Northwest, as the sun
surpasses the moon. It controls the retail
dry goods trade of all the Northwest. 1t
stretches out and draws in trade clear from
Here is where all go to buy
their goods, and those at a distance wait to
make their purchases till they come to st.
Paul, the same as people wait to go to
New York. There is nothing in the
Northwest that approaches the great
house of Mannheimer Bros. This is suita-
BILE. They deserve success, and it is pleas
ant to know that they sweep everything in
the dry-goods line out of the way and take
the cream of the trade.
F. 7.
Among the many unique exhibits was
that of z. 7. Kavanagh, the famous auc-
tioneer. He had a large platform built
On a truck drawn by six horses with out
and supplied with counters and
goods, which a corps of able statesmen led by
A. M. Doherty were voclferously disposing
of at auction. Mr.. Doherty knocked down
a chest of tea received over the Northern
Pacific from China for 81 to a GLOBE re-
porter, and the tea was delivered i~nstanta-
neously upon the devoted head of fhe pur-
chaser. It was a busy scene, and nothing
but the boiler shops eqlalsd the stento-
rian notes which came from the Kavanagh
display.

The P. n. Kelly Mercantile company in
addition to the grand mercantile arch
