Ever since Mr.. Wolfson has acquired
title to the White Elephant he has been
studying how to make the best accom-
modations to his patrons and friends. In
remOdeling and removing his immense
clothing assortment to the spacious
rooms adjoining, il gave him the desired
room to move his furniture stock down
stairs, and as this is now being placed in
position, it reveals the fact that the as
sOrtment in the furniture line at Wolf
sons is extensive and complete in every
particular.
Aside from the legitimate staple and
fancy goods, such as parior, bedroom
and dining-rOOm furniture, large sup
ply of specialties.. and ornamental goods
are kept on hand, the latest of which is
the arrival Of two carloads of cane and
willOw-ware furniture. specially adapted
for warm climates these goods are put
up in easy reclining and rocking chairs,
children's beds, cribs and cradles, and
are well worth seeing as the crewning
novelties of the present age in furniture.
