Wiimington's Leading and Bet Known
Architect s.any Monuments to His Art
and skin.
With the advance i'm the science Of
building which has characterized the
past few years I'm this country, there
has sprung up an increased demand for
the serN ices of educated and skillful
architects. The constant rovements
that are made i'm the methods of con
struction and the use of materials rem
der il imperative for the architect
who is ambitious 10 attain high
rank in his profession to keep
himself informed as regal ds all these
matters He should not only have full
knowledge of all routine matters
and this does not fulfill all the
requirements of a first class architect.
but also sufficient ingenuity and skill t.
overcome all the unexpected difficulties
that arise from time TO time He should
POSSESS not only originality of concep-
tion, but also reliability in execution.
These qualities indicate his standing in
the profession.
There are probably no two buildings
that do not differ in points of construc.
tion. This arises from the peculiarities
Of location, etc, or the uses TO which
the buildings are to be applied The
architect who can secure strength and
stability, and at the same time keor
down the expense, is the only true mas
ter of his profession. The requirements
are so much more eXactlng than former
ly, that more thorough and prolonged
study and greater natural ability are
now required 90 ensure success. Hence
It Is fair TO assume that those who are
really successful must have devoted
themselves earnestly to the task of pre-
paration
In the homes OF the people and in theii
! public institutions business blocks and
Office buildings are found improvements
that fairly form the commencement oi q

A LEADING occULlsT.

There is tendency to neglect so small
a member Of the body as the Eye and it
cannot too urgently be advised to bestow
the utmost care on this delicate but most
useful organ. The manifold defects Of
vision differ greatly and require the ex-
perienced attention of an oculist. So
called opticians, frequently do more
harm than good for while posing as ex-
perts they are woefully ignorant Of the
ills they seek to correct as many of their
patrons discover 10 their sorrow. If no
body could give you suitable glasses now
is your opportunity to get entire salts

DIR. II. HOEGELsBERGER,

diseases of the Eye his speciality in the

SAMUEL SPEAKMAN.

Proprietor of One Of the Largest and
Most Reliable Furniture Houses in
Wilmington.
Few departments Of industrial and
commercial activity have attained greater
perfection or a more deserved reputation
i'm Wilmington, than the dealers in first
class upholstered and other. furniture
In this connection it is pleasure to
make prominent mention OF one of the
most active, euterprising and popular
houses ia the trade and whose career in
this city has been an eminently success
ful one. We refer TO Samnel Speakman,
furniture dealer and general house fur
uisher, whose cOmmodious aud we'll
stocked establishment is located at 500
aud S22 Market street, Opera House
block.
The business was established in 1853,
the sales of the first day amounting to
75 cents. while the sales for 1891
amounted to $4,000 remarkable show
ing for the comparatively short time that
Mr.. Speaknan has been in busiIess
here
The store is centrally located large.
handsomely fitted up, and fully stocked
with the latest and most fashionable
room suites, book cases, tables, writing
desks, richly upholstered easy chairs,
sideboards. dining-rOom furniture,
odd and fanciful style pieces, and
handsomely carved and finished cabinets,
carpets oilcloths. stoves and tinware
In fact everything needed to furnish
house. from cellar TO attic can be
found here. The cheapest. as we'll as
0
ture are also dealt in, aud every effort is
made on the pnrt of this most reliable
house to please and satisfy all classes of
the community.
The stock is one of the largest to be
found in the city. and is sold for cash or
on the easy payment plan, which enable
every one TO get anything they may need
in the house furnishing line. Newly
married couples find this system very
convenient as they can furnish their
home throughout by paying small sum
when the goods are purchased, and the
balance in weekly or monthly payments.
On account Of the rapid increase Of
business, Mr.. Speakman will next Janu-
airy move to his new and spacious store

of viii h covers a quarter Of an acre.
The furniture house of Mr. Samuel
