vii MINGTON TAXES THE LEAD
IN FURNITURE ESTABL ISHMENTS

That there is not the slightest neces-
sity for Wilmington people to go
to Philadelphia to shop, particu-
larly for furniture was fully dem
onstrated yesterday when a
reporter for the Evening Jour
nal made a round of the four larg-
est furniture stores in the city. The
following facts were plainly brought
forth:
That the shops here carry as ,arge
a line as any in Philadelphia.
That the prices are as moderate, and
in many instances lower than those
asked for the same grade of goods in
Philadelphia.
That one may purchase just as high
class and exclusive goods as in Phi.a-
delphia, and have them made to order
in any style, if desired.
That the stores are cleaner and
more comfortable than those in Phila-
delphia.
That goods are delivered promptly,
and with less delay than those bought
in Philadelphia.
Evening journal., 1901-12-20
j. & j. N. Harman

One of the longest established and
best-known furniture stores in this
city is that of J. g. ]. N. Harman, No
410 King street, and naturally it is
exceptionally busy these Christmas
days. There is strong demand here
for lighter articles for gift giving and
particularly in wOmen's writing desks.
These begin at $3.50 in price FOR the
oak or mahogany finish, with shaped
legs, pigeon holes and drawer interior.
Then the prices so on all the way up
TO $50, that is bound to please any
woman, no matter how critica, and
fastidious her taste.
Bamboo tables are popular for
Christmas gifts. They have an oak
shaped top and shelf, and, offered at
$3.50, are just one dollar under the
regular price. The company shows a
most bewildering array of rockers and
odd chairs that are among the pret-
test best and cheapest that the mar
ket affords. The assortment is kept
unbroken. and no one can fail to be
pleased with the Offering.
A fine Quartered oak china or glass
case, with carved top and swell front
glass door, with adjustable shelves
and piano polish would make most
acceptable present This is particular
ly apparent when The price. s1650, is
taken into consideration. This firm al
ways does a large business in rugs at
Christmas times. and prepares an ade-
Quate stock in consequence. Prices be-
gin at $125, and go up in proportion
for those nine by twelve feet in size
One may select gifts from among a
large stock of music cabinets tabour-
cites, bathroom closets, piano stools

teresting piece is a mission chair, re-
produced on exactly the same lines as
those used by the monkc in the old
missions in California and Mexico,
solid heavy and having the appear
ance of lasting half dozen lifetimes.
A Book Of Artistic Designs" which
is open to everybody, is in itself lib
eral education in the furniture line. It
is reproduced from pen and ink
sketches furnished by the designers,
and every period is represented therein
-Chippendale, First and Second EN-
Dire Dutch. Flemish, Renaissance, Co.
lonial. Louis XIV, and Louis XVI,
etc. Furniture is made to order from
these designs by the firm, which makes
a speciality of furnishing rooms in
styles of any period and guarantees
them to be correct in every particular.
Reproductions of many of these de-
signs are carried in stock, particularly
the Hippelwhite, which is very popular
now.
Particularly large sales are being
made now in rockers and odd chairs,
pictures, vases and in the upholstery
department in the way of Christmas
giving. The Arm now carries a better
grade of goods than ever before, and
this the public seem to realize and ap-
preciate.
The picture on the fourth floor is a
point of interest to many visitors to
the store. While on exhibition in the
Paris Salon. it was known as Sunday
Afternoon" In this country it is call
ed Blowing Bubbles" 1t shows sew
eral children blowing bubbles with the
father and mother looking on. The
light comes in the window and shines
with a wonderful radiance upon the
mothers face; the father lights his
pipe and there are two distinct lights
upon his face-that from the window
and the other from the blazing match.
In fact, the lights and shades are mar
velous and must be seen to be appreci-
ated.
The big store is spic and span from
top to bottom, and there is not a speck
J of dust to be seen upon the furniture
anywhere. A woman who had been
shopping in Philadelphia carrier in tho
week commented on this. and drew
comparison, all favorable to the lOcal
store, with those in Philadelphia.
The windows are very artistically
furnished, and, viewed from the enc
window in Tatnall street, look like &
suite Of rooms. The first is a costly
furnished library of no particular
period; The next is a dining-roOm, which
is strictly colonial, even to the blue anC
white china, which reposes in the
beaded glass cabinet; the next is ar
ordinary hall, and the last is a parlCr

M. Megarey & Son

There are two exceptionally attrac-
tive features for Christmas shoppers
at the store Of NJ. Megary & Son, Sixth
and Tatnall streets. One is the art
room and the other is the exquisite
picture by Thonet on exhibition on
the fourth floor.
The art room is comparatively new,
and is full of beautiful things which
are an inspiration in themselves as TO
Christmas giving Probably one Of the
most unique things on exhibition there
is a set for a den. 1t is of weathered
oak. and is essentially Dutch. The
four chairs are carved and the backs
are adorned each with a heart, a
spade. club and diamond. The oldest
piece of set combines a fine setteC
and a mighty nice table Another in

There is a wide range of holiday fur
niture to choose from in the store of
L. H. Brennan, No. 221 Market street
The season opened at first a little slow,
but now it is going with a rush and
swing, that brings joy to the heart of
the proprietor The line of goods ON
display is a splendid one. 1t involves
Morris chairs, wOmen's desks, music
cabinets, toilet tables, combination
cases, fancy rockers, tables and odd
chairs, any and all of which seem to
be extremely popular for holiday Civ
ing.
Much interest also is shown in the
display of handsomely decorated
lamps. and many a parlor will be
lighted by their soft rays after the
great day of the year.
Popular gifts this year are in the
line of clocks. Under the same head
also would come draperies and rugs

ton, Smyrna and moquette seem to be
the favorites. The firm also shows
many domestic goods in the wen-liked
Oriental effects.
One of the noticeable exhibitions is
in parlor cabinets, which range in
price from S12 to $40 Some OF these
have fine Frendh bevel mirror back,
and are favorites for gift giving. Odd
pieces in parlor furniture also are
greatly sought at this time. TaboT-
cites i'm mahogany, golden oak, mostly
decorated and inlaid, are in demand,
and brass and enameled bedsteads are
used to some extent in the holiday
trade. While there is very little de-
mand for the staples, there is a great
one for pictures, and of these the COM
pany carries an excellent stock in all
the popular subjects, in oils, etchings,
photographers, pastels, ETC., ranging
in price from 81 to 500
Here, as in other furniture stores,
the season was backward but NOW It
is rushed in making up for lost time

E. L. Peacock Company
e. L. Peacock Company's store,
Ninth and King streets, is busy place
these holiday times, and the head of
the firm says that business is entirely
satisfactory. 1t would appear that few
er people go to Philadelphia for furni-
ture than at any time for years, and1it
has been noticed frequently that the
Philadelphia delivery wagons contain
little or no furniture. The other day
a woman in the Peacock store told one
of the members of the firm that the
goods were marked at lower prices
than their exact duplicates in Phila-
delphia, saying that certain hail rack,
priced at S125, was marked at $3.50 in
a Philadelphia store. The rack was
sold to a woman customer today This
is only one of the many instances of a
like nature which are reported daily.
and the inference is that the splendid
stock and moderate prices asked have
had the effect of stopping people from
going to Philadelphia for their furni-
ture. at least
The Christmas season In this store
has been characterized by a great
sale Of fanck rockers, old chairs and
Morris chairs. The demand for the
latter has been phenomenal, and the
call in every case has been for the
finer grade of goods. There also has
hD'iA " ini sc HttiC vi hiuolC NdDlucNo anu
womene writing desks, and. strange
TO say there has been an almost in
ordinate demand for desk chairs,
which, however, are as much used for
halls, or as odd pieces.
One of the most remarkable sales
has been in the statuary department
On Monday 1000 pieces were offered at
half prices to the public. and yester-
day there remained only about 300 OF
that number. BY the first of next week
The company expects the line to be
almost completely closed olrt. Next TO
this, probably the largest sale has
been in the line of chifonieres. which
seem extremely popular for holiday
giving this year.
