SECONDHAND STORES.
Modern Houses Vastly Diferer
From the old Time junk shouH.

Modern Houses Vastly Different
From the Old Time Junkshops.
"One Of the curious aspects Of mod
ern business conditions" said philo-
sophie business man, sis the growth of
what we call the secondhand business.
There are more secondhand houses
now than ever before, and attribute
1t to the changes in style which are
constantly taking place in all things
which enter into the social life. When
one speaks of secondhand store,
there are many persons who will think
simply of secondhand furniture, bu-
reaus, wardrobes, tables, beds and
things of that sort. But the business
has become so extensive that one may
find almost anything in either the use
full or the ornamental line in these
places.
II am not speaking of the curio
shops either, where you can find any
thing from an antiquated penny to the
rarest and most elaborate thing in an
artistic way, old pictures and new
ones, old books, old anything you may
call for. / have in mind the regular
secondhand houses which do a COM
plete and up to date secondhand bust
ness. Go into one of these places and
see for yourself the changes which
have been wrought in the business.
Thine was when one Of these places
was junkshop merely, sort Of old
furniture hospital or almshouse, a
place for chairs with broken arms and
tables with broken legs and beds with
SCARED heads and old clocks with
broken faces and missing hands and
all that sort of thing. But the condi-
tons are different now. You see, peo-
pie want to keep up with the process
sion. Styles are always changing. A
new kind of furniture comes in. The
furniture on hand is good as new, but
one must have the new thing, this new,
magnificent kind of sideboard or this
new colored bedroom suit or this latest
thing in something else. The old stuff
is sold and the new kind bought.
''This is one reason, and the main rea.
son, for the growth Of the secondhand
business. OF course the change has
not affected merely furniture and
household goods. 1t has applied to all
the utilities and all the ornaments, and
hence vast variety of things may be
found in the secondhand store."-New
Orleans Times Democrat.
