II IL indeed a hard matter for even tho
| judges 10 decide which il the prettiest dis
| play. There are so many Of them and all are
| pretty. but for furniture exhibit none can
beat that made by Svdnor & Hundley This
is not Newspaper talk alone. for the
| Judges have given them the blue rib
| bon for the best general dis
play OF goods in their line. To say that the
effect was beautiful would be to put It mild
indeed. What man or woman who has a
home. or who ever expects TO have one. can
pass the space allotted to them without stop
ping and admiring it. Thou shalt not
coyet, but who can help It
when one sees that suit of
bedroom furniture Of antique oak. Why. in
somna " uld be thing unheard OF could
one but rest on that bed. IL IS lovely. Al
most any room would be paradise with such
furniture. T. he dresser defes description. The
plate glass III II is five feet WIDE by
four feet high. and the whole set is OF tho
most massive style and IN worth s3OJ Ihey
show q BUFFET such as is seldom seen and
which would grace the dining-room OF a
prince. IL IS also IN massive OAK,
as is the majority OF the furniture
which they show. Very conspicuous
among their display Is an oak leather-cOyered
library suit. which sells for $50. But the
most beautiful of all are the parlor suits The
upholstery Of these IS magnificent. Light
blue and olive green predomlnate. This
firms specially IS fine furniture, and
they cater chiefly t. the tastes and desires Of
those who can afford the lu1uries OF life,
although in their establishment at No. 7Jy
east Broad can be found furniture for every
man and TO suit every pocket-book.

There is an uniqueness and originality in
Mr.. Thomas y hendler's display that attracts
universal attention from every visitor at the
Far. There Is decided ingenuity displayed
in the decorating OF the booth. and two giean-
tic figures lend an artistic finish to the goods
displayed.
one of the figures is that Of an archangel.
while the other asst is that OF Justice In one
hand she holds the scales and with Der right
she clasps the sword of truth.

The substitution Of galvanized iron for

making sheet-metal architectural work has
gradually made its way into the South, and
