Through the courtesy of MI. W.
A. Micks, the clever and popular
manager, a Chronicle reporter was
ushered through the mammoth fur
niture establishment of Royal &
Borden, Is Park avenue, Yesterday.
It may be we'll to state here that this
firm has three large furniture en-
poaiums, n each il Goldsboro,
Raleigh and Durham and are extern
sive manufacturers-supplying as
they do q jobbing trade throughout
the south and a large retail trade in
and about each of the cities named.
The Raleigh establishment is a
credit to the city and a ~handsomer
line of stock can seldom be found
than that displayed ky Mr..
Micks. The eye Of the reporter was
especially attracted by the very
unique cheval suits near the door.
These are in antique oak and the
dressing cases are especially attract
i've wife bevel-edge, French plate
glass dressing cases are great attrac-
lions in these suites and the low
price and superior goods is the
greatest draw yet. There are also
displayed a very handsome line of
16fh century cheval suites and many
styles of cheaper grades in ash and
oak. One especially notable feature
about this furniture display is the
antique oak centre and card tables.
| There is agreat demand for these
goods new and Royal & Borden
have a magnificent line and many
styles and qualities. In addition to
this the hat and coat racks with
beyeI edged, Frence plate mirrors are
great beauties and will adorn any
hall with credit-the hall of a pal
ace or cottage. But too much can
not be said about their line of fancy
antique oak chairs, upholstered in
tapestry and leather. The swinging
rockers, in tapestry and leather, and
revolving chairs for offices are all
good and a fine display to select
from.
The desk department of this es-
Enlistment Is well equipped. The
old English ladies' oak desks are
especially attractive. These, by
the-way, are made more SO bv the
circular mirrors i'll bevel-edged,
French-plate glass. Then there is
an elegant line Of plush parlor'suits
six pieces j; side boards with Italian
and Tennessee marble slabs; chill
dren's chairs for tables and nur-
series, baby carriages, spring goods
etc, etc. Indeed, everything to be
found in a first class furniture store
can here be found.
Two floors are stocked and nothing
but the latest styles and best quail.
ties are kept on hand. The prices
are remarkably reasonable. Royal
& Borden believe in patronizing
home enterprises and all of their
springs are Raleigh made-a credit
able feature, to be sure.
The firm is perhaps the largest in
the State; business is conducted on
business principles: it has succeeded
and "nothing succeeds like success

The Chronicle is right, too, in sur
