Their Remode,ed Quarters.

After having had mechanics and
painters at work on their place for the
past two months, A. A. O'Neill & Bro.
have doubled the capacity of their
store and made it more inviting than
ever.
The quarters formerly occupied by
the old Reid bakery have been secured,
the wall removed and the store ex-
tended back to the lane known as Lit
tie Water street. This gives the firm
the space it has long needed for it's
business, and will be convenience to
the public.
The monograph parlor, 25X40 feet in
size, is at the rear of the store and
is lighted on two sides and from above.
Here are shown the latest things in
monographs and graphophones. and
the largest line of photograph and
graphophone records south of Balti-
more. This statement was confirmed
yesterday by Mr.. Bralet, manager OF
the Baltimore branch of the Columbia
Photograph Company.
The line includes the Columbia and
Edison machines and records In ord-
nary and concert sizes. and from the
cheapest machines up to the finest eX-
hibition outfits.
Mr.. Arthur. O'Neill states that the
popularity of these talking machines in
the Norfolk section is increasing rap
idly, and this demand has rendered 1t
necessary to have increased space.
Messrs. O'Neill e Bro. will not have
any formal opening. but their store is
now in excellent shape and ready for
visitors at any time.
The graphophonc parlor is In charge
of polite and skilled corps of clerks,
who will take great pleasure in show
ing the merits OF the latest improved
talking machines all records of all the
la test and popular songs.
The firm has recently added. in con-
nection with the bicycle business.

than ever. a full line of Photographic
supplies. and invite all amateur pho
tographers to call and inspect the
stock.

der the store. and is reached directly

AMERICAS SILK INDUSTRY.
MIR. J. P. ANDRE MoTTU PRESENT
AT MEETING OF SILK ASSO-
CITATION OF AMERICA.

Mr.. j. p. Andre Mottu, vice-presi-
dent Of the Norfolk silk Company, Is
back from New York, where he was
present at the twenty eighth annual
banquet of the Silk Association OF
America.
The attendance was large and thor
oughly representative of the great and
growing silk industry of America.
MIR. Mottu speaks very interestingly
of the meeting and the great room for
and probable expansion Of silk manu-
facture in America. He states that,
although we have, in America, made a
very gratifying beginning, we are now
producing only n small fraction of the
silk we consume. and that dealers still
look to the looms of China, Japan,
France and other foreign lands for
their supply.
The annual report of the Silk Asso-
citation is, however, very gratifying,
and shows that Americans are walk
ing up to the fact that we can make
our own silk. The report states that
sixty-two new silk mills have been
started in the United States in the past
twelve months.
Mr.. Mottu states that Norfolk's new
silk mill will soon be in operation, and
contracts have already been made for
its output.
The success of the Norfolk silk mill,
that has been in operation for some
time. and encouraging reports from
other new silk mills have stimulated
the citizens of Suffolk to agitate the
silk mill question. and 1t now appears
probable that that enterprising city
will have n silk mill at no distant
date.
Among the guests of honor were the
Ministers to the United States from
Switzerland. China, Japan and France.
the Hon. Timothy L. Woodruff, Lieu
tenant-Governor of the State of New
York; eX-Mayor Strong, of New York.
