in this city. They are comparatively young
men in years but they are not so in their
business. During their short residence in
st. Paul they have demonstrated that they
are masters of their trade. There is prob
| ably few of the mechanical arts which re-
| quire more general knowledge than that of
contractor and builder. Both members of
this firm are practical men. They have a
reputation to make, and they propose to
make it in an honorable, upright manner,
and are willing to let their work speak for
them. Their place of business is No. 81
East Eighth street, and the public can rest
assured that all orders left with them will be
promptly attended to.
SEWER AND DRAIN CONTRACTORS.
The firm of 'Warne, Stockton & Co., "a
Second street, is among the oldest, if not the
oldest, in their line of business In st. Paul,
having been established in 1869, or nearly
| fifteen years ago, when the sewerage and
drainage system Of St. Paul was in its in
fancy. They were among the first who COM
mcnced to make contracts for this class OF
work and their business has grown from that
day until this. The thorough practical
knowledge OF each member Of the firm, their
conscientious performance Of every job en-
trusted to their charge has made their namas
known to nearly every property holder In the
city. They are familiar with every detail of
the city or linanc, governing the drainage
and sewerage system, and have executed so
much work under the supervision Of the city
authorities that they know just how to do the
work, and also to do it perfectly. Their
place of business is just off of Bridge square
on Second street.
HARDWOOD LUMBER.
Mr.. Burdck commenced business in st.
Paul little over two years ago as manufac-
turer's agent and dealer in all kinds of lum-
Der. He handles all kinds of hardwood lum-
Der, such as oak, ASH birch, maple, black
walnut. butternut, cherry, California red
wood, cedar, etc, etc. Mr.. Burdick has I'M
usual facilities for competing with all other
dealers, as all his stock comes direct from the
mills and is delivered in cars on the track,
and as he deals only in job lots from the
manufacturer he can almost defy competi-
ton. His business arrangements are wide
! spreading and parties who desire anything
in the line of hardwood lumber no matter
what its kind. or quality, will do well to call
and see him at his office in the Glfillan block.

The senior member of this firm should
need no introduction to the citizens of st.
Paul. He has mastered every branch of his
chosen profession, and has associated with
/ him men who are practical mechanics. Mr..
Harrington himself is not only practical
mechanic, but he has also mastered the sci
entific portion of it. He has no need of eX
detrimental knowledge, for he has mastered
every branch of his profession. He has
| been in business for himself for over year
in ST. Paul, and during that short time has
! filled contracts for some of the most i'm
| portant buildings in the city. AT present the
firm is engaged on the Cafe Brevoort restau-
rant and has done more or less work upon
the Gilfillan and Constants blocks. There is
no branch of the business in which the firm
is engaged that they do not thoroughly I'M
derstand. They have large force of skilled
workmen and are prepared to execute any
job of work and will guarantee that it will be
performed in workmanike manner and
satisfactory both in quality of the work and
the price Their office is at No. 10 East
Fifth street, next door to the Water works
Office.

| ARCHITECTURE.
There are probably not one in a hundred
who nightly visit the Grand Opera houses in
st. Paul and Minneapolis, and who admire
their beautiful proportions and adornments
that ever stop to think who was the master
mind that conceived, and under whose
trained skill the beautiful effects and results
were produced, were created, andto many of
the readers of the GLOBE it will be a surprise
to learn that all this perfection, so quickly
seen, and which looks almost like
the ominpotent power Of creation,
was the conception of master
mind, whose modest office is in the David
son block on Jackson street Mr. Harry G.
Carter. For over twenty years Mr.. Carter
has given his undivided attention to the
construction of opera and theatrical build
| ings. He has made theatrical architecture
| study. When it is remembered that the
construction of this class Of edifices are not
only costly but in their construction should
combine space, comfort, ventilation and
above all safety, to the thousands Who are
| l. -. I'LL
seen that none but an artist should be en-
trusted with the designs and supervision of
these gathering places of the people, where
so much is at stake. Mr. Garter has super
vised the construction and planned the
| designs of large number OF the leading
opera houses of the country, and every one
of them to-day is monument of his ingenu-
| ity and skill.
CHICAGO ANDERSON PRESSED BRICK.
One of the best indications of the improve
ment in the character of the buildings
erected during the present season in this
city is the better class of material employed,
especially in the brick line. The Chicago
Anderson pressed brick is acknowledged to
have no superior in trueness of.shape, even
ness of color and power of resistance, and
these brick are now being used, for the first
line in this city, in the new chamoer of
commerce building, Fred DrseolIs new
and elegant residence, the Wilde building
and the Gueiselmann block. Being made by
patent process, that enables them
| to work all winter, this com
panv ALWAYS enters the building
season with large supply, carefully assorted
| In eighteen different shades, on hand. and
are thus enabled to fill all orders promptly
and prevent that loss of time which becomes
a loss OF money so frequently where builders
are depending on a brick which cannot be
supplied on time, and then is often so poorly
burned as to be rejected. Messrs. Houston
