OF Art Hangings, Lace and Tapestry
Curtains, and General Decorative Stuffs
and Accessories.
The magnificent display of curtains,
both lace and tapestry, imported and
domestic stuffs and hangings Tor up
holstery and decorative purposes, che
nile goods, French and oriental fab
RIGS, ETC., at the opening inaugurated
by Messrs. George X. Taylor & Co., yes
terday, was a revelation to the hun
dreds of ladies and gentlemen who
thronged The spacious quarters OF the
firm. Neither in variety nor in the
wide range of goods shown has there
ever been anything like this exhibition
in this city, and q tour OF the depart
ments given over to this exposition OF
goods especially intended Tor house,
hold decorative purposes was liberal
education in fabrics, styles, prices and
effects. The scope of the display was
not only broad and comprehensive IN
the variety of goods shown, but the
range Of prices throughout was such as
to afford opportunities for artistic and
striking effects 10 those OF very
moderate means as we'll as those
blessed with more abundance. The
opening will be continued through
out to-day, to afford all who
appreciate the beautiful in the va
rious fabrics, designs and accessories
of interior household decoration an op-
pOrtunity such as is not usually pre-
scented outside of the larger cities, and
/ the establishment Will doubtless be
again crowded. The entire de-
parement of which we write has been
placed under the management of Mr..
j. A. Treloar, who is a professional dra-
per and designer OF VIDE repute. 1t is
his province and will be his pleasure to
make suggestions, designs and estl-
mates for residential decorations, Tree
of cost to the intended purchaser, and
his superintendent in these matters
will insure correct effects at a mini
mum cost. The means at the disposal
of Mr.. Treloar and the customers Of
the firm are of the most ample variety.
Not less than fifteen hundred curtains
for example, afford opportunities for
selection not to be approached in any
other Wheeling establishment, while
there is an equally wide range in all the
other materials falling within the
scope of this department.
