George j. Mueller.

Wholesale Confectioncr Of the dis
tinctivc industries Of Washington and
which has contributed materially to its
commercial prosperity, is its extensive
confectionery trade. The most prominent
house engaged in this line of trade is
that Of George j. Mueller, No. 3li Penn
sylvania avenue northwest, which was
founded some years ago. The premises
occupied are very commodlous and spa
cious and the stock embraces all Kinds of
confectionery. The stock is large and
bears such u character of quality and alb
solute purity as to claim universal atton-
tion. Mr.. Mueller is highly respected In
the commercial world for his strict in
tegrity, and is thoroughly conversant
with every detail Of the business
and the requirements of the markets. The
experience Of the proprietor affords the best
guarantee to families and consumers gener-
ally. and his established reputation for
dealing in only pure and first class goods
has long been q matter beyond dispute.
The equitable manner In which the business
is conducted, as well rs admirable quality
and reliability Of the stock are guarantees
sufficiently obvious why dealers generally
would do well to place their orders with
this house.

Undertakers' Supplies. The number
and character Of houses which represent
the commercial interests of Washington
show plainly the importance Of the city as

country naturally seeks supplies here, and
the demand has been amply provided for
by the enterprise OF Washington merchants.
In the undertaking supply trade the house
OF VIM. f. Spindler, No. 1929 Seventh
street northwest, who has for some years
been widely and pleasantly known through
out our city and its suburbs as one of our
representative undertakers, which he has
recently discontinued and has entered
into the undertaking supply business. He
carries complete stock of all varieties of
collins, caskets, robes and trimmings be.
longing to the profession. Abilities for the
successful prosecution OF business like
this are only obtained after years of patient
labor, and having been In the undertaking
business himself not only In this city, but
also in Kansas City and st. Louis, Is per-
fectly conversant with the wants of his Gus
TONERS. Mr.. Spindler will make 1t a strict
rule to allow no similar house TO excel
him In either satisfactory quality of goods or
moderate and reasonable prices, Per-
sonally he Is held In the highest estima-
tion in social and commercial circles for his
strict honor and integrity and has always
identified himself with any movement con.
duciye to the good and welfare OF his fell
low citizens.

The number and character of houses
which represent the commercial interests of
Washington show plainly the Importance
Of the city as purchasing center. A large
surrounding country naturally seeks sup.
plies there, and the demand has been amply
provided for by the enterprise Of its mer-
chants. In this connection we cannot omit
certain facts concerning the trade In paint-
crs' supplies and art material goods that
may be useful 10 our readers. The most
prominent in this line of trade is that of
George Ryneal, jr., AIS Seventh street
northwest, whose immense store is COM
pletely stocked with paints, oils, win
dow and plate glass, lamp goods,
artists and wax flower materials, ETC.,
ETC. The stock. carried by this house
is equal to anything that can be found In
this country. For many years this house
has been most reputable one, carrying
stock made up OF the most satisfactory
goods known In the trade. This house was
founded some years ago, and during the
period since It's establishment 1t has an.
nually added to its reputation by faithful
ministrations to its patrons, and is now
prominent factor In the commercial import
ance of Washington, commanding the con-

tween New York and Washington at o

The issue on excursion tickets will not be
