STORE OPENS
Great Furniture Firm Is
Now Ready for Busi-
ness on Geary
Street.

The John Breuner Companys new
furniture store was thrown open to the
public yesterday afternoon The inte-
rior of the big structure is arranged
in most artistic fashion. Seven vast
floors, S715x13712, contain some of the
finest house equipments ever brought
to the coast No business was done
yesterday, the store being given over
to visitors
The management has made no effort
to use the establishment as a store
room for all the furniture the firm has
on hand, but has artistically arranged
about the floors in a picturesque man
ner samples of everything carried
FINISHED IN MAPLE.
All of the floors of the huge building
are done in maplewood. On the second
are dining-room equipments. The third
is what they call the library floor"
or to one side of this floor are the ex-
hibition rooms of the establishment.
Here are six rooms arranged as they
would be in house, fitted up to suit
the most fastidious person. On enter
ing one sees a hall reception room. con-
tanning all of the latest furniture. Then
come the living room, reception room,
dining room, den" and bedroom. The
furnishings are grand and appropriate
and would do credit to the house of a
millionaire
The fourth is known as the l"bed-
room floor" Here beds of extreme
richness are set up as they would be in
a house. giving the prospective pur-
chaser opportunity to see what he is
going to buy. as it would appear. in his
home: Some elegant sets for the bed
room. the prices of some of which range
up into the thousands, are on exhioi-
tion
On the fifth floor the tables and
chairs are exhibited. The sixth con-
tains Oriental rugs. tapestries, settees
and accomplishments. Some of the rugs
are works of art. One Persian hand
made rug is quoted at $4,000.
The top and seventh floor is given
over to the carpet department. Patrons
are able to select their carpets under
the light from two immense skylights.
EXCELLENT ART GALLERY.
A portion of the third floor is given
over to an art gallery, where many Sc
lect and excellent works of art are on
These pictures alone are
enough to bring countless visitors to
the new store.
The management received numerous
floral pieces yesterday in honor of the
opening day. These scattered in pro-
fusion about the main floor gave the
place a pretty effect.
The old store on Market street will
be retained by the management and
will be run as an installment house un-
der the name of the Grand Rapids Fur
niture Company.
The officers of the firms are John
Breuner, president; Herbert F'leisch-
aker vice president, and Emmett Wild
er, secretary.

TRAIN OFF TRACK
AT PRINCESS BAY.
Switch was Open but no One was
Huft-4nother leIay at
New porp.

Yesterday the commuters on the
Rapid Transit railroad had the pleas.
IRE of putting up with some trouble.
The train which arrives in Tottenville
at 8 O'Clock in the morning, was be-
ing drawn past New Dorp by engine
No. 6, in charge of Driver Lowell,
when a steam valve burst. 1t was
necessary to send to St. George for
another engine to pull the train. A
delay of 20 minutes was caused by the
accident.
Bnt more serious was the accident
Of the engine pulling the train due in
Tottenville at 11.05. The engine was
gong past Princess Bay at q good
rate of speed. The engineer did not
notice that the switch was open until
lie was right on it, then, although he
put on the brakes, it was too late for
the engine and the first coach ran off
the track. No one was hurt, although
all of the passengers were shaken mp.
AT Princess Bay there is only a single
track. SO all traffic on the Rapid
Transit road was delayed until
O'Clock.
