T.. Il. Hanf, No. II East Fourth street,
has no idea of being left behind in the
race for distinction amongst the enter
prisng watchmakers and jewellers Of
the city.
Mr. Hanf has just had his store en-
larged by the addition of twenty feet in
length, aud it has be II entirely remod-
eled, and made, if not the largest, one
Of the handsoHest in the city. The
papering is ola beautiful design, and
was done by that acknowledged fine
artist in wall decorations, William
Moysten, formerly with Ball X Ander-
son, but now carrying on business for
himself. a new counter extends the
whole length Of the store, upon which
rest four very fine show cases made to
order by Philadelphia parties Atdi-
tional upright cases with glass doors
have been Arranged along both sides
of the store, from which spaikles aud
glistens in rich profusion finely chased
silver ware, clocks and other articles
Of general utility. The finishing
touches of this grand store were put on
by Mr.. Walter Joseph, a recognized
master of painting and graining The
counter and colors are finished in wal
nut colors, the paneling being grained
in the latest style of artistic taste. Mr..
Joseph is also a young mechanic, fore
man for W. X. Grant, but intends to
start in business for himself this spring.
Altogether Mr.. Ianf has "a beautiful
store, and his enterprise entities him to
the favorable consideration of the pub
