steel coil springs, for which he is ex-
elusive agent in Albuquerque; and Of q
wire, spring-frame couch and covering.
He is also making leaders of hindeiis
Duplex cotton felt and silk floss mat
tresses, which he sells under a guar
antee, and for which he has the exclu-
sive Albuquerque agency. He has q
novelty in the rug line that is worthy
of mention. 1t is in Navajo blanket
patterns, is all wool, and is in fast
colors. These are not sold under the
representation that they are of Navajo
weave, but the patterns are accurate
ly copied, and, at the greatly reduced
prices for which they are sold COM
mand some respect from people to
whom the economies of life appeal. He
also carries pictures and frames, pict-
ure mouldings. crockery, glassware.
lamps, etc. In stoves and ranges he
carries the Triumph-Eclipse for the
kitchen and a general line of heaters.
The Triumph-Eclipse is a high grade
range at a moderate cost, and there
are very many of them in use in Albu-
querque homes. Mr.. Futrelle also sells
White sewing machines, concerning
which no comment is necessary, other
than to say his special prices apply
to this as to other articles.
Mr.. Futrelle has two salesrooms, re-
spectively 90x100 ad 2Sx60, but they
are equivalent to four rooms, for each
has a double floor, and the elevated
platforms are as densely packed with
stock as the main floors. The main
room is devoted particularly to furni-
ture, mattresses and bedding and the
side room to stoves and other items Of
stock. Every foot of floor space is util-
lied either for stock or passage ways,
and there is not a store of equal ca
pacity in the city that has more actual
stock in sight. Yet there is not a piece
of furniture in stock that has to be
moved to show to patrons.
w. V. Futrelle is a native OF Missis-
sippi, and, with the exception of the
past twenty years, nved all his life In
his native state. He was three years
in business in San Antonio, Texas, be-
fore coming to Albuquerque. and has
been eight years in this city. He put
up the building he at present occupies.
and lives with his family on the Sec
ond floor. ~ is q substantial brick
structure, and one of the best buildings
in the quarter in which 1t is located.
Personally, Mr.. Futrelle is a pleasant
and courteous gentleman. with whom
it 10 a pleasure to do business.

The w. V. Futrelle Furniture COM
pany's establishment is certainly the
peoples store for everything that en-
tiers into the furnishing of the home in
Albuquerque. The store is located on
South Second street within a block OF
the business center of the city, yet
enough removed to make the interest
on realty values an item OF economy,
and, occupying Mr.. Futrulle's own
building, the business has no rent to
pay. 1t will thus be see that Mr.. Flu
trelle, in endeavoring to sell at the
peoples prices has first observed the
economies that make it possible.
It must not be assumed from the
above that Mr.. Futrelle has only a
cheap patronage, for the contrary is
true. He sells to the best people in
the city, but his stock embraces every
thing from the plain, but serviceable
furniture found in the workingman1s
cottage to the most elegant articles In
solid mahogany, suited to the mansion
of the millionaire. In either case,
whether his customer be poor or
wealthy, he proposes to save him
money and retain his trade by merit
ing it. This is the policy that has built
I'D his business, and, after only eight
years in Albuquerque, he is credited
with having the largest patronage OF
any furniture dealer in the territory.
Mr.. Futrelle sells either for cash or
on easy terms, and there is no reason
why any household should lack the
boon of comfortable furnishings If the
head of the family deal with him. He
buys direct from the factories, in car
lots, and, paying cash for everything
himself, secures the lowest market
price on every article purchased, so
that he can quote patrons the lowest
figure above the actual cost OF manu-
facture and freight. This, taAen into
consideration with the other como
mics above noted suffice to make plain
the why and wherefore of some OF Mr..
Futrelle's prices that confuse competi-
tors.
Mr.. Futrelle's stock embraces furni'
ture, carpets, linoleum, oil cloth, sew
ing machines, stoves, shades and
everything to furnish the house. In
furniture he is making specialties OF a
SIS couch, or sofa, having a steel
frame, with springs covered with pad
ding of figured velvet; OF a $3.50
woven wire spring mattress. which has
q patent support to keep 1t from sag

ter used by the laundry is exception
ally soft and pure. No chemicals or
injurious acids are used, and the most
delicate fabrics and laces are washed.
The laundry employs twenty-five peo-
ple-all white, except one "culled
gemmen."
Manager w. l.. Edgar and his broth
er, e. r. Edgar, who is associated
with him in the business, were former
ly in the hardware business in Boone
vile, Missouri, but a been long
enough in Albuquerque to be well
known in business circles. They have
established an excellent patronage,
and have earned a reputation for lib
erality and public spirit toward all en-
terprises conceived in the interest OF
their adopted city.

dell's. His patrons could walk down
Broadway, in New York city, with a
sense of being properly dressed.
Propriety in dress is marked quite as
much by the smaller items as the
larger. 1t is quite as essential to wear
the latest neckwear and hosiery as to
don a suit of latest cut. These will be
found where the Dunlap is sold.
Michael Mandell came here from
Mississippi, but has been twenty years
in New Mexico, practically all of which
time has been spent in Albuquerque.
He established his present business
three years ago, as a member of the
firm of Mandell & Grunsfeld, and sue
ceeded to MI. Grunsfeld's interest Au-
gust LIST of the present year. He was
formerly in the wholesale dry goods
business, and is a prominent figure in
business and social circles.

cigars the subjects that bring them to-
gether. Many important business and
financial deals have been suggested
and closed in the privacy of the club
room.
Mr.. Neher came originally from the
state of Wisconsin, but has been prac-
tically all of his life IN the Rocky
mountain country. He has been twen-
ty-two years in Albuquerque, and for
fourteen years has conducted the
White Elephant saloon. He is promi-
nent in business circles, not only as a
man who conducts the finest establish
ment of it's kind in the territory, but,
as well, as one who is energetic, pro-
gressive and enterprising in contribut-
ing to the advancement of the city.
His public spirit and ~liberality may al
ways be counted on when any project
conceived in the interest of the city
is on foot.

ments carrying the Dunlap, with refer
ence to other items of stock. If a
store is entrusted with the Dunlap
agency. it is a very good evidence that
its stock is up to date in other lines.
Mike Mandell controls the Dunlap
agency in Albuquerque, and no one
will gainsay that the above rule is APP.
plicable to his stock. Besides the
Dunlap. MIR. Mandell carries the
Halves, in soft and stiff hats, and in
other lines he handles such celebrated
goods as Earl G. Wilson collars, Will
sol Brothers and Manhattan shirts,
Wilson's and American Hosiery COM
pany's underwear, H. s.. & M. and
Washington clothing, Sweet, Orr &
Co.'s workingmen's goods, Nelson and
Lilly-Brackett shoes, etc., etc.

tically everything pertaining to the
masculine wardrobe, and he keeps

excellent advantage that it appears
nothing could be removed without inn
pairing the general artistic effect.
Albert Faber is a native of Germany,
but has been fourteen years in the
United States. Before going into busi-
ness for himself he was connected
with the dry goods establishment OF
Ilfeld Brothers, in the capacity OF gen.
eral salesman, and looked after the
carpet department. When he estab.
lished his present business, his large
stock brought him an immediate pat
ronage from the best people of the city
and there are now few residences In
albuquerque thatshi taste has not
contributed to beautify. He meets all
competition by fair prices and genuine
goods.
Mail orders receive careful attention
and samples are sent on request to any
address.

In carpets, the stock embraces in
grains, tapestry brussels, body brus-
sells, ~velvets, wiltons, administers, saw
onneries and moquettes, in yard goods
and art squares, rugs, etc., and con-
tains the h~andsomest and latest pat
terms. The line in Turkish and Per-
sian rugs is especially large, and do
nestle and imported carpetings are
carried in every variety. Fur rugs are
also handled. Linoleums, mattings
and other floor coverings of every de-
scription complete the line for the
floor.
For doors and walls, the line en-
braces rope portieres, chenille and tap
estry curtains. The lace curtains for
windows include nottinghams, brus-
sells, bobinet, point d. esprit, Irish
point, Arabian net and muslin. Shades
in all widths and colors and curtain
poles and trimmings are also sold. The
draperies consist of silkolines, denims,

An immense French plate mirror re-
fleets a wealth of glistening glassware,
and the liquors served comport in ex-
cellence with the elegance of the ap-
pointments.
To supply the bar the famed distil-
leries of Kentucky, Maryland and Scot
land, the wineries of California, Spain
and France, and the breweries of this
and foreign countries yield up their
best. There is nothing in domestic or
imported wines or liquors that is not
served, and the same may be said of
mixed drinks. The cigar case. which
is partitioned of from the bar in front,
contains everything in Havana, Key
West and domestic cigars demanded
by smokers, and the connoisseur of
the weed will find his taste anticipated
and his pet brand set before MIN when
his preference is known.

RESTRICTION NECESSARY.

1t is pretty generally understood
that in his forthcoming message to
Congress the President will most
earnestly recommend that the immi-
grafton laws be so revised as to ma
terially check the tide.of undesirable
persons that is now steadily flowing
into this country.
Last year nearly seven-hundred
thousand immigrants were legally
admitted into the United States.
Doubtless many Others came in sur
reptitiously by the Canadian routes:
so that in all probability the whole
number reached nearly eight-hundred
thousand, thus topping, OF breaking.

arrivals numbered 7SS, 992.
There is one noticeable feature il
connection with the immigration
business that is not at all pleasant
to think about, and that is the fac
that many of those now coming into
this country are not the sturdy Irish
Germans and Seandinavians, VIII,
