The Newtown bee., 1899-10-06

The crisp, cool weather uf the pas t | week or two has turned the heart Of | femininity toward new fall costumes,
 new carpets for the hOuse, and new fur
 nishinGs. In cOnfC queDce of this there | has been brisk bU, ing, ard the mer.
 chants all report that the fall trade has | opened mp earlier and moIe promising than for several years. This is particU- | larly true of the D. M. Read Co.,, which
 has all of it's fs T stock in place, a nd the
 store is daily crowded with buyers in all depaI tn ents, as a walk through will readily convince.
 The new z Iods embrace all lines GET. | Tied by this firm, al d is one of the most complete stocks In New EI gland, noth- ing but the best being e rfied by this house, whose reputation and name Is & guarantee that everything beneath its roof is just what 1t is reprt scented to be and nothing else. It is needless to tell this to Bridgeport public as the long years in which the firm h as been in busi- ne there has amply demonstrated it to the satisfaction of all.
 This is the time of year when the houi ewife thinks of new carpets and fur niture, new upholstery, rags, and other house furnishings. There is no store in Con ecticut which carries lprger stock of fine furniture suitable fer all needs and in reach of a T DO cketbooks, than the D. M. Read Co. Of Bridgeport. This de- partment, while comparatively new, has grown beyond all expectations, and now couples five large rooms m the store, with an equal space outside tor storage. The stock Is complete, and includes everything which Is necessary in house at rices ranging from moderate fguGt s for moderate poCketbt oks to the richest grades at prices to suit.
 A new feature in this depf sment, one | which hes been added recently, is com plete line of bedroom suites. It was not intended to carry tho SC suites at first, but | the furniture room became so popular, l and the demand was so great, that the 1 firm was obliged to SCCede to the de- mande, and it now has one of the most | complete lines of bedroom furniture to be four In the city. The materials are of the best, and the workmanship Is unex- celled.
 Another new feature is the addition of line of office ard hall furniture. Roll and fl 4t top desks, chairs, etc., in quarter ed oak and mahogany, handsomely fn- ished, are shown, with hall racks. .settees, hall tables, hall glasses, in fact every thing to be found in an up.tO-daEe furni- ture room. Buying is brisk and the rooms are well filled with purchasers every day.
  , re busy places at this time of year. The b. M. Read carpets are too well known to need extended comment and 1t is sui ticient to say that the latCs patterns are to be found in all standard goods, with many novelties in rugs, pOrtier4s, etc., at prices to suit the taste of the buyers.
 There are many novelties shown in the crockery department in the basement of the building. One of the distinctive Fnu fnr la 1or nfn nF jgtfC | lamps at Irice which should take them to the homes of customers in short time. Everything in the china and croCkery line is shown here, and sales are steady. In the household goods and kitchen ware departments are to be found everything which the housekeeper can possibly require.
 The dry goods department shares in the general triskness of trade, and es- pecially the suit and cloak departments. All of the latest fabIic ics for dress goods are in stock, large number of the latest Partisan novelties, with haberdasherie of latest dc Csign. In the tailored suit de- partment buying Is particuls rly trisk, the suits being of the latest fabrics, and of the best style ard fl lish. The gar ments embrace suits, skirts, capes, jack ets and cl oaks, and are a delight to the feminine heart.
 It would be tiresome to the reader to attempt to enumerate all of the different articles worthy of special mention, ard would convey but little idea of their ex- celJence. Nothing like a visit 10 the stCre itself will give an adt Quste idea of the extent and variety of the goods car ried, and this the firm invites. Prompt attention is given to all Visitc r5 by corps of competent, polite and Obliging clerks who find iG no trouble to show goods. A visit will well repay the trouble.-T Farm
