all STYLES of mantels, fancy grillins, chair

made from original and artistic designs.
Many of them are models OF skilled work

Bile acquisition 10 the establishment, Is IN
charge of Mr. w. II. Bailey. who has
devoted many years 10 the study Of ef-

The second floor Of the establishment
was to me the most interesting Of the
three. Here the facilities for executing
a superior class of workmanship are as
numerous as they are complete. Many
Of the most beautiful and unique styles
OF hard wood work We'd with each other
for skillful artisanship and artistic finish.
A variety of specimens were exhibited,
and the rich carvings I'm every variety OF
wood made an exquisite effect. The bank
and office furniture, hard wood trim
mings and ratings Of every description
were models Of convenience and attrac-
tiveness. OF these there We're any number
and variety to choose from, so that all
order can be filed with entire satisfac-
ton. The skill and beauty Of the work.
manship in the finishing department can
not be surpassed by any establishment in
the South.
Builders are making rapid progress in
the way OF interior decorations of dwell
ings and Offices. The tendency is towards
artistic effects I'm wood working, thing
and general furnishing. The architects
are continually studying for new Patterns
TO decorate dininc rooms, parlors, hall
ways or business departments, and
Messrs. Winston, HAZEL & West are de-
termired to prove TO the public that they
will put on the market the very best line
Of goods that can be secured. They viii
soon be in a position 10 furnish anything
that may be called for. and they guaran-
tee satisfaction with every purchase. The
plant will employ about one hundred and
fifty men, including the highest class of
skilled artisans I'm their line, and the
managers viii exercise a special super
vision over every line of goods manufac-
tured. There will be no necessity OF
going outside of Richmond to secure a
superior character Of work made Of the
choicest materials in this line. The firm
will supply both the architect and the
public demand direct from the factory
without the Intervention Of the middle
man, and customers will be treated with
that promptness and courtesy for which
the members Of the firm have always
been well known. The factory IS well
heated and ventilated, and located al
most in the centre Of the city. So that
for comfort and convenience il cannot be
surpassed by any similar establishment
in the South.
