The New and Commodious Store OF
the Lacy g. visreck Hardware
Company-A Short Resume OF the
Advantages offered the Business
Public.

1t is pleasing to note the era of pros
perity. and advancement OF our beautiful
city, and there is no moro assuring evil
dence Of metropolitan proportions in the
near future than the influx of capitalists
and sound business men to establish ex.
tensive mercantile houses, that will COM
pare favorably with those Of any city on
the Pacific Coast. One of the latest ad-
ditions in the wholesale and retail hard
ware trade is the Lacy 4 viereck Hard
ware Company at Nos. ll9 and l2l
North Los Angeles street. The compa-
ny comprises William Lacy. President;
J. L. viereck, Vice. President and Mana
ger, and B. Hutchinson, Secretary and
Treasurer. An immense stock Of hard
ware, stoves and tinware Is now placed
in their commodious and elegant store,
which is credit to Los. Angeles and
illustrates the increasing ratio Of trade
that creates necessity for a metropoli-
tan establishment like that of the Lacy
& viereck Hardware Company.
A HERALD reporter was shown
through the new store yesterday and
many features new to the hardware
trade Of this vicinity were found, as we'll
as the largest stock of shelf hardware
ever displayed in Southern California.
The first floor, or salesroom, is 40xl00
feet and tastily arranged, with a gallery
running around the entire room, which
is reached by a Nairway in the center.
Along the gallery is displayed an ex-
tended. line Of shelf hardware and
stamped ware. The whole idea In select
ing this stock appears to have been
aimed at its completeness; and. indeed,
there is nothing that purchases is like
ly to call for that cannot be found on
the shelves. Locking down to the main
floor, a bewilderment Of articles are pre-
sented to view. A fine assortment Of
stoves form prominent part Of the dis
play. Among them were noticed the
Charter wood cook stove, the Charter
Range stove, Omaha coal and wood
stove, q complete line of the celebrated
Acorn stoves and ranges. An ad-
mirable piece of convenience and work
manship is the Charter mot the Char
ter Oak), especially constructed for
the Southern California market, as
it uses less fuel than any other
stove Of its size, ever offered for sale on
this coast. Timers and plumbers sup
plies abound in great profusion, and
every conceivable implement used in
hand gardening, horticultural or agricul.
tural pursuits. There are hoes. rakes,
shovels, spades, forks, scythes, all Of
the latest and most approved manufac-
ture. The stock of stamped tin and agate
iron ware is unsurpassed, both inground
and enameled. In the cellar were no.
ticed stove fixtures hollow ware, car
riage bolts and appurtenances; sewer,
gas, lead and iron pipe, and the celebrat-
ed well and water pipe manufactured by
this company. 1t was also demonstrated
ed that the Lacy l. Viereck Company
are to be extensive jobbers in lin plate,
sheet iron and gas pipe. Taking the
elevator and ascending to the second
floor, the tin and plumbing shops are
found where various designs of work are
approaching completion. In this de-
partment fine stock of copper, zinc and
sheet tin is carried to supply
the retailers. Attention is also given
to woodenyare, and purchasers will
find that their desires can be fully met.
Capable workmen have been employed
in the shops, and the work turned out is
calculated to equal If not excel any simi-
lar work in the city. As an entirety the
new hardware establishment is an orna-
nent to our city of which we are justly
proud. and the liberal patronage already
bestowed upon the enterprising firm be-
speaks for them the success they SO just
ly merit for the substantial manner in
which they have prepared to supply the
hardware, stove and tinware trade Of
this section. To those desiring to see
model store, complete and elegant in
all the details of its arrangement, we
commend them to the new establishment
at Nos. ll9 and l2l North Los Angeles
street, where the Lacy & Viereck Hard
ware Company are prepared to compete
with any one in lower California in
prices or goods.
