Something About the New

1t is matter of common report that
this Minneapolis CONCERN, of which we
are SO proud. never does anything by
halves. Its reception yesterday. with
its attending features, was in all re-
spects marked success. 1t is a peculi-
iarity of this house that all employees
vie with the proprietor in bringing
everything connected with its bust
ness up to the high mark set by
him. Particular attention had
been directed through its advertise
mentS to the display of crOckery ware,
china ware and lamps. the new depart
ment which it has just added, and the
expressions of praise were numerous
and hearty. An immense pyramid of
palms at the foot of the grand staircase,
with two extremely choice baskets of
rosebudS from the floral establishment
of c. A. Smith. comprised the only and
very effective floral display.
The music in the afternoon was fur
niShed by HeintZeman'S band. composed
of lads, twenty-five of them, and the
walls of the old Casino skating rink
never echoed sweeter or more effective
strains than were produced by this
really wonderful band of amateur mu-
sicians under its painstaking and popu-
lar leader, Prof. HeintZeman.
The store was fairly well filed all the
who honored the invitation by
their presence, and made a dis
eliminating examination of the
rich goods spread for their in
spection, and they coupled their express
SiOnS of surprise at the extent of the
warerOoms with the high quality and
| artistic merit of the goods displayed.
There are many old residents in the
cities of Minneapolis and st. Paul who
have been in the habit of making their
purchases of older concerns than the
New England" who had never visited
it before yesterday. The real OBJECT of
the reception was to convince by pos
tive examination of the premises
and stock. that the claims of the
New England Furniture and
Carpet company, through its adj
vertisementS are well borne out by the
| facts. When il is understood that its
| premises, every inch of which is util-
lied, comprise something over an acre
and half of surface (much larger than
! is devoted to any establishment of
| house furnishings west Of New York,
not excepting Chicago it will be seen
| that it has not overeStimated the size of
| its plant OF the scope of its mission.
| The evening music, from 6 to 10 p. M.
| was furnished by our reliable and al
ways delightful DAM orchestra. the
acoustic properties Of the building.
with it's numerous bridges and spans,
were simply perfect. Every note of the
| finished OrchestratiOn penetrated to
| every corner of the mammoth building.
| The day proved. without question. what
was anticipated for it-namely, "gala
day"
| This Is the fisrt reception given by
| the New England people since it first
opened heie, three and one-half years
| ago. We can most cOnscientiously say
merited. The proprietor desires this
| paper, both for himself, and his EN- {.
plOyeS, all of whom contributed to their
utmost to the success of yesterdays re-
ception, to express to their friends the
very great appreciation of the kindness
shown, and honor done them by their
presence.
