succeeded in building up trade not

largest In this city devoted to the cloth
ing business, was purchased some time
ago by Mr.. Mnllin. and since then the

In the basement is a thing OF tie past,
and that part OF the building has been
fitted up In the best manner for the re-
ception of and nnpackipg OF goods. The
floor has been cementei, aud everything
ross BILE done 10 ht II for the purpose for
which 1t is intended.
On one siie in the rear OF this room Is
the powerful machinery that operates the
elevator, which is the finest piece of
mechanism OF I. kind that II is possi-
BILE to obtain. On each floor the shalt is
protected by n partition and doors, for
the purpose OF preventing accidents.
THIS arrangement OF itself cost several
hundred dollars, bat the firm, with their
usual enterprise, was determined to secure
the best, regardless Of expense. The
elevator ltsc'f is a model, and persons
can ride from the first floor to the upper
story with scarcely consciousness that
they are being moved. 1t is also very
safe, as It is provided with patent safety
catches, which II any OF the machinery
should chance to break would hold It in
place, aud prevents the possibility Of an
accident.
