LUMBER AND INTERIOR FINISH
W. A. Allen.

In the building and finishing OF
houses the concerns who manufacture
the interior finish are today an import
ant factor, for it is to them the architect
and owner looks to furnish the manu-.
featured material that gives to the mod.
ern building that air of elegance and
artistic tone in finish that characterize
the structures of this period as more de.
sirabie than the plain, harsh and unsatis,
flying interiors of the designers and build.
ers of the earlier days of this country.
AS a manufacturer, Wholesale and re.
tail dealer in building trimmings, wood
mantels, stair work, brackets, mould
ings. spiral rope balusters, posts, rails,
piazza columns and other material fol-
house and church finish, Mr.. w. A. Allen
stands pre-eminently first among those
wIose product finds its way into the best
buildings of this and other States.
The mills and Offices of Mr.. Allen arc
located at the foot of Preble street,
while a sample salesroom at 424 Con.
giess, corner of Temple street, supplies
q convenient place from which the pub
lie, especially the ladies, may examine
designs and laavs orders for the products
OF the factory or see the harmonious
blending of colors and designs IN thu
various things that are set up to be seen
as when part Of finished building
Here also may be seen the latest, the old.
est and the quaintest designs in and

The interior of modern dwelling or

TIE city of Portland contains no con-
cern that in the manufacture of high
grace interior finish can compete with
thu Deiano Planning Mill Co. in their facil-
tiles Cor the manufacture of wood finish.
The capacity of their plant in machinery,
kiln drying and other conveniences is
such that the product of their mill is
