lamps this week. Coal oil lamps
of every conceivable sort and
description.
We will start at the entrance
of your house. Does your hall
have a hanging lamp, or a lamp
of any kind to brighten 1t up
evenings and make it agreeable
for your guests and tamily' Our
hall lamps are beautifully made,
the incest kind have B & H
burners improved. One of our
hanging lamps ought to suit you
even if you are very fastidious.
If your hall is a large one you
need chandelier with two or
more lights, We have some very
unique designs and late styles,
with Bradley & Hubbard tounts
They are in enameled brass and
hammered iron. All sorts OF
pretty globes and shades go with
the hall lamps and chandeliers.
When you reach the parlor OF
drawing room you must have a
lamp there. For a large room
one of the chandeliers is needed
and tor one smaller tasty and
neat hanging lamp. Our ban
quet and stand lamps are also
very attractive. These stands
are trimmed in brass, niCkle-
plated and hammered iron, are
in many designs Of glass, and
China, and have detachable
founts and with the improved
B & II burner. Speaking of this
new burner-in Lighting the
lamp you simply push up part
of the burner, raising chimney
without smearing the polished
glass with your moist fingers;
and should the lamp blow out
you are not obliged to wait until
it is cool to prevent burning
your fingers. OF course if you
have piano you must have
lamp to go with it. Either the
stand lamp we have just spoken
of or regular piano lamp, is the
thing. The piano lamp is of
various designs and resting on an
extension rod is very easily
raised and lowered. To go with
the stand and piano lamps we.
have some OF the prettiest silk
shades you ever saw. The colors
are pleasing; they are made M
many shapes and dalntlly trim
med with fine lace, making the
lamps when finished with one o!
these shades one of the most al
tractive features of a room.
For the dining room we have
the banquet lamp and you can
use some of the same designs as
for the drawing room in hanging
lamps and chandeliers.
After talking so much about
our elegant lamp fixtures, we dol
not wish to slight the old relia-
