a chat With Mr.. John friedel, che
Queensware ana Glass Merchant aud
H0asR-FuTnisbing Goods Dealer.

The time for the singing of birds has
come. Nature il putting on her spring
attire, and the tasteful housewife, in
sympathy with this annual rehabili-
ment, is deep in the mysteries OF house
cleaning and reno walton. L do not
know Of anything which can be put
into house, costing as little money rs
il does, that will 50 freshena and brighten
il aud change its entire internal COM
plexiOn, and render il cheerful, iuspirit-
ing and pleasant, Is wall paper.
The wall paper business here il ably
represented in its most progressive
shape by Mr.. John Friedel, the queens
ware and glass merchant. In talking
with him regarding this branch Of his
business, he said:
THE art of hOMe decoration has
reached higher plane within the past
year thanever before. The production
of wall paper seems to have been en-
tirely taken from an industrial stand
point and placed in the ranks of genu-
inc art. Rooms covered with the most
tasteful productions we have, with
their beautiful shades and shimmering
lustres, their superb combinations Of
color and design, become real picture
galleries instead of uuSightly walls.
This season We have secured from the
most noted manufacturers stock much
heavier than We ever carried before and
have bought on such extraordinarily
favorable terms that We actually sell
for less rates than houses i'm very large
cities. You may he surprised at this
statement, but know from personal iu-
formation that il j. strictly true. But
aside from the highest priced papers We
are handling some exclusive patterns
Of the cheaper grades which are ab.
sulutely beautiful, and people with
taste and limited means can make
TIER homes CHEEKY and harmOniOuNly
artistic at a very-indeed Il surprisingly
small outlay. AS an illustration OtthiS
point you often meet ladies who have
an inEOrn sen-e Of the beautiful and
who can dress very cheaply and yet
always look tastefuly aud handsomely
Gttirpd. 1t IL the same To- large extent
with the dressing Of q room, and If you
say anything of this matter i'll THE
REGISTER | wish you would suggest to
your readers who are engaged In or
mediate house cleaning that they call
Ou me and :. will he pleased To show
them wall paper which for attrlrtivrues>
cannot be surpassed by the exhibits of
any house anywhere, and for lowuess
of price is beyond compare"
81 guess that the pOtters and glass
men have about kept pace with the
paper makers, have they not"
"Nou are right. Cilass and china
have superseded the u~e of silver ware
almost entirely. And when you come
to think of how cheap the most elegant
services can he bought for there is
really no excuse for people of even very
moderate means Slttin" down to a
plainly furnished table. In house.

dinner and tea sets, lamps, bric-a- brdC,
ceiling ornaments, and u wide range of
articles which emh"lli-i aud which
,uhserVe utility, We are doing really
thriving business. We have increased
our store room very materially, as you
see, and carry about double the stock
we had this time last year. This has
been progress which was male necCS-
Narv. Wheeling il reaching out iutO q
wider territory than ever before, and
all that the town needs Is cheerful
bright faces OH her business men,
There was some further talk with
Mr.. Frie,iel, and during which | had
considerable pleasure III looking
through his stock. His store Is really a
credit to the city, and do not Use this
expression in the stercotyped sense of
compliment II i stocked with many
beautiful articles in china, broALe aud
glass. y master hand has evidently
done the buying, and certainly ~ lady
should fail while doing her sprn :ahOp-
ping To drop in at this pleasant place.
The fashion Of home decoration il one
well worthy of Encouragement, and the
means Mr.. Friedel offers all t. SUCCESS

vantage should meet with the heartirst
appreciation from every one who lives
ia house. Among Gtithe stores which
! visited | know Of none in which |
took more genuine pleasure than in
Nlr. Friedels, and am glad to know
that ne meets with patronage worthy
