Los Angeles herald., 1890-05-02

this firm makes speciality is crockery
ware, and in this line also Meyberg
Bros. were called upon to supply the
hotel. An immense amount was used
in completely fitting up the various de-
EpartnleIits, bat it was wwsass selected with so
much care by Messrs. Meyberg Bros.
that not piece is out of place and every
set is in keeping with the other furnish
ings. Meyberg Bros. is an enterprising
firm, and importations of the latest de-
signs in crockery, glass, crystal
and metal wares are being con-
stantly received. Orders for the
the shortest notice, and the firm has
made a wide reputation in Southern Cal
ifornia for giving even better satisfaction
than is expected The managers at the
hotel express themselves as well pleased
with the way in which the contract for
both the electroleers and crockeryware
was filled, and they but echo the senti-
ment of all others who have had similar
dealings with the firm. The immense
store of Meyberg Bros, on Main street.
contains stock of goods that should be
seen by everyone who intends to furnish
a residence, hotel or business block.
The Mantels.
One of the most attractive features of
the hotel, to the visitors, were the mag
nifcent mantels which had been con-
strncted especially for the building by
Henry Bohrman, manufacturer and
dealer in all kinds of mantels, bank,
store and Office fixtures requiring fine
work. Mr.. Bohrman has fitted many
homes and large buildings with mantels,
and his work is well known all over
this part of the State, but nowhere has
he done better piece OF work than at
the hotel The many visitors, yester
day, paused admiringly before each man
tel, especially those in the principal
rooms, and had Mr.. Bohrman been pres
ent he would have felt pleased at the re-
marks made. Mr.. Bohrman's store, at
ola South Spring street, is filed with
all sorts of furnishings for tireplaces and
Railways and should be visited by every
one intending to build.
The Electric Plant.
Particular attention has been paid to
the electrical appointments of the hotel,
and the result is that not even except
ing Coronado or San Francisco there is
nothing that can equal the lighting or
the electrical apparatus. Messrs.
Rhodes & Reese, No. POS South Main,
were placed in charge, and they finished
the work in a manner that cannot be
excelled. The plant consists OF two
dynamos, one of which is for 800 incan-
descent lights for the hotel, and the
other for the arc-lights, which illuminate
the grounds and the wharf. Messrs
Rhodes & Reese also furnished the
engine for running the dynamos. They
also put in the electric-bell outfit, which
includes the return call and the fire
alarm, and is similar to and better than
that in use at Coronado. As a whole,
there is nothing this side of the Rocky
mountains that can equal the electric
plant put in by Messrs. Rhodes & Reese.
The Plumbing.
The plumbing throughout the hotel
has been done by the Crane Company,
of Chicago and Pittsburg, whose branch
office in this city, at the corner of Los
Angeles and Requena streets, is in
charge of A. H. Bush, as local manager.
Particular attention has been paid, in
carrying out the work, to the sanitary
conditions of the building, which is in
this respect one of the most perfect on
the Coast. This firm which was estab-
lished in 1855 and incorporated ten years
later, is so well known in this vicinity
that the fact that the work was done by
it is sufficient guarantee of its excellence.
The pipes and fittings of the hydrants
are also furnished by this firm, and are
OF the most superior quality.
The Wines and Liquors.
The wines and liquors were furnished
by the well-known firm of Messrs Sher-
wood & Sherwood, OF San Francisco,
Wy
Hersey, who has branch Office at No.
10S North Los Angeles street. Every
thing was of the choicest quality, and
the selection OF stock was confined to
the very finest brands, for most OF
which the firm are sole agents
on this Coast. Foremost among the
wines are those from Jacob Schrams's
Schramsburger vineyard at st. Helena
in the Napa valley. The old and rella-
BILE Moet 4 Chandon white seal cham
ported wines have found their way into
the capacious cellars OF the Hugo hotel.
Among other liquid refreshments for
which this firm is sole agent and
which had not been forgotten IN
the consignment are, E. and j.
Burke's Bass's ale and the celebrated
Guinness's Dublin stout in bottles.
Brandies, gins and other kindred spirits
of the most esteemed brands are also in
cluded in the list, which is unequaled
for the excellent taste displayed
in its selection, by any SINH
lar one on the Coast. The
firm which supplied these goods q
one of the few which genuinely imports
the stock it keeps on hand, most of its
liquors being brought here by way Of
San Diego. 1t has gained an enviable
reputation for the superiority of the
liqbors it handles, and having secured
the sole agency for the Coast of many OF
the best-known brands, it has acquired
such an eminence in the trade as to
leave it practically without competition
