AS we remarked at the outset, there has
been great taste displayed by Mr.. Kirk in
the arrangement Of all these works Of art,
in placing them in the proper light in or
der that each piece might show to
the best advantage, aud the beautiful man
ner in which they have been framed. The
samples Of the mouldings and frames
that be carries in stock is simply immense
nothing like it has ever been known in
The city, and buying in large quantity en-.
abies him to sell at prices with which no
one can compete. In addition to this, he
| carries a full line OF artist materials, copys,
&c, and at prices in many cases much less
than they are sold for in the large cities.
You are always made welcome, whether you
purchase or not, as it is a pleasure to wait
upon you and to show you what there is.
