EL-FURNITURE.
Two Fairs have been held since the
! White Rickel Furniture Company WAS
organized and on both occasions this en-
terprising company has been in beauti-
full and interesting evidence. They bring
nine specimens of furniture this year
and from seven of them the coveted blue
Ribbon was dangling yesterday after
noon. Seven first premiums out of nine
articles is sort of a record breaking
honor winning, but there is scarcely
person who has seen the White Rickel
/ display, but what will say that the
judges displayed good taste and good
judgment.
Mr.. w. e. White, the clever, courteous
president of the company is here in
charge of the exhibit and delights in
showing it to the visitors. Among the
attractive specimens exhibited are
beautiful quarter oak office desk a cur
" oak card table duplicate OF four just
made by this company for the new club
at Greensboro, a charming ladies dress
er, in duplicate, built of Walnut with
walnut root veneering, full II feet front
and a beautiful specimen.
A settee in duplicate one in mahogany
the other in quartered oak, couch of
old English design of quartered oak,
two Pier mirrors that are beauties. Bed
steads, wardrobes, &c. This is one of
the attractions about which the matrons
i and house keepers generally delight TO
linger. The White-Rickel Company has
recently furnished the State Museum
i with a number of cases designed and
made in their factory that were so well
made and so beautifully designed that
the board received them with a unan-i
vote and with thanks to the COM
making has become one of the most
important features in the manufacturing
! industry of the State and the White
P'c'-ol Tompanv of Mebane. are right
in the front ranks. Mr.. Rickel, of the
firm is perhaps one Of the most artistic
designer of furniture in the South, and
the interprising managers of the CON-
pany are succeeding in placing their
goods among the best and most discrim-
mating people in the country.
