A TRIP THROUGH
Mcneil Il WOlfe's Furniture House
Reveals Wonderful Things.

Since last Monday, passers'by have
been attracted to Mcneil & Wolfe's
show-windows by a handsome bed
room suit that has just arrived.
The GOMEZ was n of the enrap-
tured gazers and in response to an in
vitation from the manager, Mr.. Wolfe,
aside from the usual and hearty "come
in," we passed upon the inside and in
company with Mr.. Wolfe made a tour
of the entire establishment, only stop
ping long enough in each department
to gather a general idea Of the stock.
Their stock is large and embraces
everything in the furniture line both
serviceable and ornamental.
In the first place, they occupy n
Of the handsomest buildings in the
city. 1t is in the new block built this
year by G. G. Harris. The large plate
glass front gives the building a metro
politan appearance and when you en-
ter the %store-room you are really
charmed by the very pleasantly pa
pered walls and elegantly decorated
ceiling. The hand Of the artist has
been at work, and the effect is pleas
ing in the extreme. The arrange
ment Of the furniture on the first floor
also adds to the beauty of the room.
On either side of the room, bedroom
suits are arranged that vary in price
from $19 to 5000. The suits are
all styles and are finished III cherry
oak, and walnut, and some of them
are gems OF beauty. Sideboards, hat
racks, fancy tables, %easels, etc, are in
terspersed, and the prices asked fol
any of the articles would startle yor
by their cheapness. The center Of thu
room is occupied with chairs OF al
kinds, styles and prices, but they are
only samples. When we got up stairs
we found almost a wilderness O
chairs. They buy in carload lots anC
were just unloading three cars. On
side of the room which occupies twC
floors above was covered with chairs
An endless variety Of rockers is dis
played, from the largest and fines
wicker to the cheapest cane-bottom
and some novel folding rockers are
for the first time, presented. Bur
dies OF chairs are packed up as hig.
as the ceiling and you can find any
thing you want in the chair line an
| get them in any quality.
The line of parlor suits is behind i
no particular, but contains all h
i, latest styles in notified plush wit
! spring edge and shell back. Elegar
> divans are also there and the price
; as on all Others, are reasonable.
. When it comes to carpets, they ais
. take the lead. They carry an exceed
ingly large stock, and it has been S
lected with great care. Anything 70
want in oil.cloths, ingram, brusse
= or yelvets can be found there III all V
= %rieties and at prices within reach
all. In this department, as in all OF
ers they strive to please and will So
coed if you will only call and examir
their goods.
In window shades they have a lar!
variety, and the house.furnishir
/, goods department is filled with blan
cts, comforts, sheeting, curtain gooC
etc, all of the best quality, and so
q cheap.
4 II it is bed.springs mattresses or p
