Los Angeles Mantle Company. In
addition to the fine work done
on the Bryson-Bonebrake Block, Messrs.
Beaver & Murray. in the last year, have

with their business, have large estab-

enough to plaster from 5000 to 5000
yards OF surface. They have large and
admirably constructed vaults and COW
cred pits for holding the plaster, and
wagons and boxes built expressly for the
carriage of the material. This enables
this enterprising firm to begin a job at
short notice, the material for the work
always being ready and in pr oper shape
to be used at once. In this
respect they are ahead of all competi
tors. Messrs. Beaver & Murray are also
prepared to deliver all kinds of plaster

rates, including center prices in every
design, from the plainest to the most
embellished. The principle Office of
Messrs. Beaver & Murray is at the yard,
but they also have one in the Bryson-
Bonebrake building. The yard telephone
is No. 571. Those wanting plastering
done or desiring any material in the plas-
tering line will be promptly attended to
by leaving their orders at their Office in
the Bryson- Bonebrake block, or at the
yard, No. rs, w. Myers street, over

@. X. Lam b, Stair.Builder.
The Bryson-B -Bonebrake building boasts
of the only marble stairway in South
California. Few persons who ascend
this magnificent flight Of polished stone,
with the accompanying wainscoting Of
elaborately paneled and polished hard
wood, for the first time, fail to stop and
admire the richly carved mahogany rail-
ing and balusters which 30 greatly add
to the beauty and effectiveness of the
general design. This really fine piece
Of work was done by Mr.. 9. K. Lamb,
who did all of the outer stairwork of the
great building. Mr.. Lamb has been ten
years in Los Angeles. He carried on
business in San Francisco for number
Of years, but originally came from
Ohio. When in San Francisco he did
some notable work, as for instance the
stairways of the Palace hotel and the
famous Crocker and Hopkins mansions
which have contributed to make Mob
Hill Of worldwide renown. Since his
advent in Los Angeles Mr.. Lamb has
done the finest work in his line to be
found in the sunlit semi-tropics. He
put in the stairs of the Child's Opera
House, the Lanfranco block, the w. g.
T. U. building, the Loeb mansion and
several other public edi6ces and private
residences. Mr.. Lambs business has
grown with the marvellous development
of the Angel City and its environs, and
he has kept pace with this growth by
increasing his facilities to meet the de-
mands made upon his skill and talents.
He employs only the best Of
work men, who are thus enabled to fol-
low his artistic designs with always
pleaSing and creditable results. Unlike
the ordinary house carpenter, stair
builder cannot carry his tools in box
upon his shoulder, but must have ap-
pliances which, in fact, are not used out
side Of this particular department Of the
building line, which practically is trade
by itself. Mr.. Lamb has large shop on
