manufacturer of and dealer in fine
parlor and chamber furniture The
house has frontage on Main street of
about 60 feet and is some 50 feet in
depth. The building is IL handsome

two years ago. On the lower floor
are the attractive warerooms. which
are we'll stocked with household furni-
ture of all kinds. The second floor is
used by the proprietor as a dwelling,
and the third floor is fitted up as hall
with ante-roomS adjoining and is rent
ed to several benevolent organizations.
The warerooms of Mr. Nickel are tho
roughly stocked with magnificent line
of furniture, among which are beauti-
