Fine Building and Good Firm.

Messrs. J. N. Preston 4 Son, archi-
tects, have removed from rs North
Spring street to Al South Spring, where
they are now at work on the plans for
tae Burdick building which will orna-
ment the corner of Spring and Second
streets. The front elevation OF this build
ing shows that the architects are making
new departure in the character Of
Los Angeles buildings. The entire
Spring and Second street fronts, from
the basement to the top of the sixth
story, including the friezes and cornices,
will be stone. 1t will be, perhaps, the
prettiest and most substantial
looking building in the city. There
will BIO two large store-rooms
fronting on Spring street and three on
Second. The second, third, fourth and
fifth stories will be arranged for offices;
the sixth story will be divided into living
apartments and lodge-room or hall
II is evident that the designing of the
building has fallen into good hands.
Messrs. Preston & Son have been here
only little ,nore than year, but in
that time they have, by close application
to business and their gentlemanly and
courteous bearing, supplemented by a
thorough knowledge OF their profession,
built up a fine business. besides making
for themselves many warm friends.
They have furnished the plans for Ellis
College and many other Of our best build
ings.

Yesterday tho Los Angeles Mantel
Company celebrated the first anniversary
Of its opening day by throwing open its
magnificent establishment on the corner
OF Fort and Second streets to the inspec-
ton Of the public. The history OF the
progress Of Messrs. Newsom and Reb-
man, who represent tho company, is the
best evidence Of the satisfactory nature
Of the goods they supply. One year ago
they went into the mantel business at
No. los Main street with hut a few
samples, expecting to do small COM
mission business. To-day they carry
one OF the finest lines OF goods
in the country, comprising mantels Of all
descriptions, brass goods, floor tiling,
ETC., their stock representing about $780,
900 in value. II should be borne in mind
that most Of the goods they sell are
home-manufactured, being turned out
from their large establishment on Fifth
and San Pedro streets. Some Of the arti-
cles for sale are remarkably cheap, as
the firm caters for plain work as well as
for the more ornamental and expensive
articles. A walk through the capacious
storerooms should be taken by all who
are about to furnish their establishments,
for no matter how rare may be the arti-
Gle required here it may be found. A
speciality is made regarding the thing, as
all OF the designs are dissimilar, great
relief from the old-fashioned factory pat
tern style. The firm has on its books
orders to furnish the Bryson Block with
mantels, and have already decorated in
this manner the California Bank build
ing, the San Gabriel and San Dimas
hotels, and several private houses, The
wooden mantels that arc exposed for
sale are as cheap as any in the market,
and among the fancy goods may be OBJ
tanned beauteous designs in marbleized
iron, slate, bronze and California onyx.
