Interior DecOratiOns-PrOf. 4o-
meO Berrn.

One of the special attractions of the
bank when it opens will be the interior
decorations. A HERALD reporter was
kindly shown the design by Professor
Romeo Berra, who has the contract to
do the decorating both in the bank and
in the Masonic Hall in the building
The plan of decorating is an original one
Professor Berra. The form is an Egyp-
tian one in fresco colors. The center
part of the ceiling is prospective work
and will show the ceiling 80 as to make
it look several feet higher than it is.
The design on the ceiling is beautiful
and the effect is very pleasing to the
eve. The emblems of commerce, indus
try, agriculture and bee. hive, the last
emblematic of the bank, will be placed
in different corners of the ceiling. After
the prospective work the decorations
open into beautiful sky scene and In
the center of the ceiling will be fine
silk drapery, trimmed with gold. Over
the large window at the entrance will
be an Egyptian chariot, and the borders
will bo trimmed in gold to correspond
with the subject. Prof. Romeo Berra
has been in Los Angeles six months.
His reputation as an artist IS wide,
spread. and his work on the bank will
surpass anything in its line in Southern
California. Prof. Berra has done some
fresco and ornamental painting that il
point Of style, beauty of finish and ele
gance in design has not been surpassed

1os ANGELES M ATIoNAL BANK BLOCK.

The bank is finished in white oak.
The floor is to be tiled with enctusllc

from Pittsburg. The galvanized iron
was furnished by the Harper Reynolds
Company of this city.
In the basement below the bank are
four offices, each about l4x2O. with .
height of nine feet, which will command
= high rental for real estate, insurance
Offices. etc. The sidewalk is supported
bv rolled beams and brick arches, ovel
which the cement sidewalk is laid, thu:
utilizing all the space below the side

pleasure that we mention their fine job

work done in the building by this firm
would take up too much space; but
suffice to add they have furnished
everything in the building in their line,
and this is saying great deal when it
is understood that the building is con.

ELEGANT FURNITURE.
How Masonic Hall Is to he
Fitted Up.

As stated elsewhere in this article,
the top story of the building will be oc-
cupied by the Masonic Order of Los
Angeles. This floor has been specially
laid out for the order, and will be dec
GRATED in magnificent style. The furni.
ture will, of course, be correspondingly
fine and of the very best material. The
committee, who had charge OF the Sc
lection of the furniture, visited every
furniture store in Los Angeles, and
finally closed with Bryant and Walton,
whom they found could supply the
identical kind of furniture they wanted
and at prices lower than any other
house in the furniture business. A de.
scription of the furniture will be found
interesting, as it is among the very finest
that has ever come to Southern Califor-
MIA. The large chair for the most emf
nent Grand Commander is made of wal.
nut, With the emblems of the lodge on
the back. 1t is upholstered in blue and
dark patterned electric plush, the best
that is made, or can be made. Two
chairs, one oil the south side of the hall
and the other on the west side of the
hall, are made of this material. Then
there are twelve chairs for the officers,
covered with blue silk, brocaded plush,
upholstered with the finest material.
The society also selected one hundred
fine chairs, upholstered in blue electric
plush, with carved walnut frames. The
banquet room will have beautiful ex-
tension tables, and chairs to match,
which are all being manufactured to
order by Bryant and Walton.
The firm, though comparatively
new, bas taken leading posi-
tion among the mercantile houses
and carries an immense stock, to which
they are constantly adding. They have
the finest line of antique chairs, covered
in plush and embossed leather, all colors
| and styles, among which are the finest
ever seen in Southern California. Their
parlor sets are very beautiful as well as
reasonable in price, and embrace AL.
hambra plushes in assorted colors with
many new designs. Their bedroom sets
embrace many different kinds and
prices. They have elegant walnut sets,
and low priced bedroom suites of extra
quality Of workmanship. The firm also
gives special attention to making parloi
suites to order from samples of elegant
pushes of the latest designs and in al
eolors. Any lady or gentleman can cal
and get their choice of covering and ode
pieces OF every description, and made tt
suit their own taste. They have 5O(
different patterns in plushes to selec
from, some of which have just arrived
Their prices are the lowest in Los An
geles. They are the same as those given
to the trade. Parties purchasing OF this
firm can secure wholesale prices with
the freight added. This energetic and
enterprising firm are entitled to the
lucrative business they now enjoy.

THE PLUMBING.
The work Done by the Harper
Reynolds Co.


All the plumbing and the work about
the Los Angeles Bank Block has been
done by the Harper.Reynolds Hardware
Co., As and SO South Main street. This
is equivalent to saying that it has been
done well, for all jobs turned out by this
company have invariably given satisfac-
tion. The Harper and Reynolds Hard
ware Company is the largest concern OF
the kind in the city. While referring
to the perfect job they have accom-
plished in the Bank Block, it seems an
excellent opportunity to call attention
to the splendid facilities this company
has for transactipg promptly business
of all kinds in the hardware line. They
have large factory on Alameda street
fitted up with the latest improved ma
chinery, and they employ none but the
most skilful mechanics. One OF their
specialties is sanitary plumbing and
their splendid work in various build
ings of the city has frequently
been referred to in the Herald. Hav-
ing the best facilities for doing all jobs
of this kind, they guarantee prompt
ness, perfect work and the most reason
able prices. The plumbing of build
ing is one of the most important features
of the work of construction. and while
there are many plumbers, all cannot be
depended upon. In the numerous build
ings in Los Angeles and vicinity IN
which the plumbing has been done by
the Harper & Rey ynolds Co. there has
never been word of complaint OF care
lessness or imperfect work. This fact
alone shows the confidence which can
be placed in them. In referring to this
company no special mention has been
made of the other extensive branches OF
their business. 1t is sufficient to add
that in every respect this house is the
most complete hardware establishment
south of San Francisco.

A FULL DESCRIPTION OF IT
A Solid Financial Institution-Fhe
Building, its Contents and

To. day the HERALD presents hand
some illustration OF the fine block nearly
completed at the corner of First and
Spring streets, and known as the Los
Angeles National Bank Block. The
institut tion whose name it bears, is one
Of the most solid and prosperous finan
DIAL concerns on the coast. Its president

among our best citizens. and those who
have the management of the bank direc-
tory in charge deserve great credit for
fhe prudent manner in which they hav 9
conducted its affairs. Every name
among the list of officers. directors and
stock stands high in financial
aud commercial circles and that the
pablo appreciates this fact and
tho wise and conservative manage.
mont is apparent from the large and
rapidly increasing patronage bestowed
upon this solid institution. Its capital
q present is $500, 900 with a surplus OF
90. 600. No financial institution in this
city has shown as large proportionate
increase of business in given period as
the Los Angeles National Bank. The
business, indeed, developed so rapidly
that sometime since the management de-
termined to secure building of their
own in every respect adapted to the
needs of the institution and for that pur.
pose purchased the lot at the corner of
First and Spring streets adjoining the
postof1ice. This site is unquestionably
che best in the city for business purposes.
1t Is the very heart Of Los Angeles and
= probably the most valuable piece of
property on 81 ring street. The bank
manage ment about six months ago CON-
menced the construction of their
block axd from an architectural
stand point there is no more handsome
or substantial structure in the city. The
following facts about the building will
be read with interest: 1t is three
stories in height, its dimensions being
6Ox8O. The first story is II feet high,
the second story IA feet high, and the
upper story, or Masonic hall, 20 feet
high. On the first floor is located the
hank apartment, 20 feet wide and 90
feet deep, with directors' room adjoin-
ing. llx20 feet, and two stores, lSx77
feet each.

POHLHAUS Il VOLLMEk.
Removed to New Quarters I'm the
Bank Building.

Bank Building.
The first store in the Bank Building.
adjoining the postoffioe, is occupied by
Messrs. Pohlhaus 4 Vollmer, wholesale
and retail dealers in crockery, glassware,
silverware, etc. Messrs. Pohlhaus &
Vollmer have now the leading house in
their line in the city. and their new
stock of goods is we'll worth examining.
As a matter of news of special interest
to the hundreds of families now locating
in this city and surrounding towns the
HERALD reporter desires to say that In
the house furnishing line no finer goods
can be found in Southern California
than are offered by Messrs. Pohlhaus Il
vollmer. They make specially of
hotel goods, and have. already filled sew.
eral large orders from hotels. Hotel
men at all points in Southern California
will find it greatly to their advantage
to deal with Messrs. Pohlhaus Il Voll-
mer. They are able to give bottom
figures and to fill all orders promptly.
An examination of the stock of Messrs.
Pehlhaus Il Vollmar shows q very fine
line of crockery goods imported from
the leading manufacturers. They have
goods which for beauty and delicacy of
finish have never been surpassed.
The same may be said of
their glass and silver ware.
la the art line they have large vari-
ETY. of goods, and those desiring parlor
and lawn ornaments will do well to give
them call. They carry stock of ma
jolica ware, full line of chandeliers,
lamps and lamp fixtures, and line OF
wood and willow ware. Their stock OF
carlsbad china is the best in the city
They carry two patterns in open stock
which is q great convenience to purchas'
ers, as if any portion of dinner or tea
set is lost or broken it can be immedi
ately replaced. The new establishment
of Messrs. Pohlhaus Il Vollmer is in ev
cry respect highly creditable to the city
and they will undoubtedly receive the
patronage their enterprise deserves.
