How to Furnish it Nicely and in a Good
Manner That Will Scarcely be Felt
How to Dress Fashionnbly and Well
in the Same Manner.
Wilmington is emphatically one OF
the best places In this country
for those who are obliged to earn their
bread and butter by the sweat of ulelr
brow, and there are more mechanics
who own their homes in this city than
| in any other place in the United States
according to population. The mar
kets here are the best to be found, as
tho merchants wife deals directly
with the producer, and this saves the
enormous profits charged by middle
men,
But even house and an excellent
market do not meet all the require
home there are other things neces.
sary to throw around III that happl-l
ness which will make It attractive, and,
as man Is born with an inherent &C.
sire for happiness, everything posi-. |
Bile should be done to make his home
tho most attractive and pleasant place
on earth for him.
| One OF the best ways OF making o.
home attractive is to furnish 1t nicely,
| DuL lileIo uEb many, WuOp hlltl ihey
secure the house have not sufficient
funds left to do this. There is now.
ever a way that 1t can be done. and
everything necessary or needed pro-
cured by the expenditure OF small
amount, and paying the balance in
weekly or monthly installments. This
can be accomplished by calling on Ed
ward II. Brennan. the oldest and lead-I
ing merchant In this way OF furnishingI
goods in this city. Several years ago,
Mr.. Brennan who Mt that time was n
member of the firm Of p j. Walsh 81
Co, OF Philadelphia, conceived the
idea of establishing IN installmentl
house in this city. The business had
become feature in Philadelphia, but
when MIR. Brennan spoke about open-l
| Ing a branch house here, there WIS al
number who did ali in their power tol
discourage him. He however ca moI
hero himself, and after careful survey
of the city, concluded that it was a.
safe place to start business, and open
cd out at his present etand, No. EOS,
Market street. Others had tried theI
same business here and failed, but
their foundations weie not as strong
as those laid by Mr.. Brennan.
The consequence wiS that the buei-l
ness ilourished and increased, proving
not only II paying Investment to the
firm but also boon to hundreds Of
persons in this city who were. by the
firms very liberal way of doing BUSH
ness, enabled to furnish their housesl
in u better style than ever before. and
| i'll Il manner that the small amounts
due each week or month were scarcely
missed AS the business increased
more room was taken, but this was
soon found insufficient to accommo'
date the rapidly growing tIad3 which,
was not confined to this city but ex-
tended for miles outside. AS the firm
of Walsh i Co. had all they could at
tend TO in Philadelphia, Mir. Brennan
bought tho Wilmington branch some,
time ago, and since then has been con-
Quoting 1t OH his own account. His
method OF doing business is fully as
liberal as that of tho old firm, and his
goods are sold as cheap as they can be
bought for cash As there was an In
creusing demand for clothing, Mr..
Brennan has fitted up the second story
Of his large establishment for this,
branch of the business.
Here will be found the newest and
most fashionable goods. made in tho
!, best manner, and trimmed with the
finest material. At present he is MAX
, ing a speciality of fine spring suits
and uniforms for Grand Army men,
, which he is selling at from $40 to si4

be obtained, aud the G. a. X. suits are
made OF the finest material, and indi.
