Milwaukee Bachelors Quarters.

The Sunday Sentinel printed an
interesting article descriptive of
the luxurious quarters of several

Among the bachelor homes thus given
prominence was that of a former Wa

brother of our towDsman, George w.
Webb. Following is an extract from
The Sentinel article:

parlor, bedroom and bath with full

rare old china and silverware, and
