WateTbury's Great Prosperity
REASONS WHY WE SHOULD ALL
SING GLORY HAI4LELUJAH

listen to what the Real Estate Weekly
Record says:
Concerning Waterbury the Weekly
Record saws "Among the architects
there is a very cheerful feeling over the
building outlook for the coming year.
Capitalists are already talking up large
projects, some of which will surprise the
public when announced. One prominent
architect has on hand no less that four new
factories and extensions, and this means
prosperity in all lines There will be con-
siderable done in the way of new blocks
and the center of the city will wear diff
erent aspect when the years building is
completed. Everything points to p1os-
porous building season."
The Waterbury Furniture Company
saw this in advance, and this is why it is
building on Field street, on the line Of
the New Park, a storehouse, equal in
size to its new building on South Main
street. Nothing is so embarrassing as
to be short of room in the busy season.
As soon as we sell Chamber Suit, a
Parlor Suit, a Range or Stove, we
want another on hand to put in its
place. We don't have to ask, the
people to appreciate our efforts be-
cause the world knows they do. We
mean to have room enough to crafty
everyone's wish, and show them a
stock of goods that will make them
feel glad that they came to Waterbury
to buy their goods.
One great pleasure to us in doing
business is that Our Customers become
our Firm Friends. Our great aim in
life is not the mere matter of money
getting, but to build up safe, steady,
reliable business, in which the people
have confidence.
Our prices are the lowest and our
goods the best money can buy. Goods
delivered free.

Pianos, Pianos, Pianos,

Say, John, are you judge of pianos!
Well now, Peter: really that is laugh
able; why do y.u ask!
Well, you see, Susie, the pet of our
house, is seven years old, and wife and
have been thinging that as she is not very
strong it would be the proper thingto give
her a musical education. You know, John,
when you and l were children attention
was not SO much in that direction and it
was not considered much of qualitica-
ton as at present, ST. L don't wonder in the
least at the look of surprise that crosses
your face. But really, John, your wife
asked me to- firing up the subj, CT to you as
your Bessie is getting to be the right age
for piano, rs we'll; and she was of the
opinion that if We should decide to both
buy at once that Shoninger would give us
u discount. | understand they are very
reasonable with honest people who desire
u piano, and being honest themselves
that firm would be the best to patronize.
What do you think!
Why, Peter, have been thinking for
some time on the sa ne subject, and l
stepped into the store this morning and
requested Mr. Pelham to give me Il list of
names comprising recent purchasers. He
very kindly and must say u little proudly
acceded to my request by bringing forth
II list of name that fairly astonished ne.
Examine 1t (John, pernsing) Whew, but
that is surely u sumner. 1T those people
who are judges hare decided for the
Shoninger piano we ought to commence
the year right by doing likewise.
To Shoningers We will go looking for
the best the market affords, at the lowest
