Both floors of this building are thus almost
entirely occupied to the very ceilings, and.
ct trade prices, represent thousands Of
dollars. Yet all this, as the sequel proved,
was but Q moiety Of the work still in hand
in the bench rooms and under the Infinite
manipulations Of the whirring machinery.
| Mr.. Armstrong. the efficient foreman Of
the shops, seems to be master Of the situa-
ton. and kindly piloted US through the
wilderness Of work stacked up throughout
the shops. under various stages of compile
ton. Everything, from the turning of q
drawer knob up to the last, delicate tracings
of the carver, is the Companys own handi-
work, and, under any comparison, they
may well be proud of it.
As yet no attempt has been made in the
finer grades Of goods. the effort, thus far,
having been to demonstrate the ability
to turn out good work from the
material at command And while
. proper degree of care has been OBJ
served with regard to form and decoration,
jet, at no time, has the designer been
allowed to lose sight of the essential element
durability. In fact, in everything, decora'
ton and form are made subordinate to
strength and stability.
In the economy of material, chairs, with
seats Of plated cane, or other flexible ma
terial, are made in large quantities, while
ameng the new departures contemplated is
an easy chair, which shall realize to its
happy claimant all the name implies and,
when upholstered in rich stuff, shall suggest
an irresistible sensation of covetousness,
accompanied with great lsssitude.
A column might be occupied in detailing
the interesting operations witnessed in this
new industry. To see for one self. though,
is the only way to really thoroughly appre-
eiate.
A glance through the order books Of the
| company is sufficient to warrant the ass ertien
that the growth Of this branch keeps pace with
the increase of population and wealth: and
that the tide Of immigration setting into our
own state and the adjoining states, north
and west, is creating an abundant market
for steadily increasing and immensely
larger business, which will necessitate
more than double the production of last
year to adequately supply, and bring into
employment largely increased force Of
skilled workmen; between thirty and forty
being new actively engaged, at short hours.
The company certainly has a most
enviable business prospect. It's stock to-day
stands firm ct par; and before the close Of
the present season must command premi-
UNI; for with its newly. elected board of d.
| rectors-who are from our we'll known bust
ness men-s careful, safe and successful
management is assured.
