 upson, Singleton X Co.'S Bank
 street This house. though of compar-
 atively recent birth here, has repu-
 tatlon that any business concern ought
 to be well proud of. It opened it's | doors in Waterbury in the old Miller 1 building on Bank street. April o7. lSlS. A fine modern structure is now going up on the ruins of the old build 1 ing. the last to be resurrected from the big fire that swept the city Sunday night, February ?. 1902. There Upson 1 X Singleton. as the firm is popularly l called for brevity. did business until
 that memorable night when it's stock. and the roof over it. went up in flames.
 It survived the conf1agration however. and now occupies a far larger build
 Ing, over one-third longer than the old
 one. Substantially it consists of two fine stores. one on Bank and one OH South Main street. It is thoroughly equipped with all the modern appli- ances of houses of it's kind.
 Strictly cash terms was one of the pillars on which the concern based it's excellent reputation. and it has never
 deviated one particle from that course. Another feature in it's platform was to return to their customers the cash for their purchases if they were not found suitable. It was thought by many similar business houses in the
 city that Upson. Singleton X Co. could
 never live on that principle. Could
 they afford to pay clerks to give out
 and take back goods? Some said it
 could not he done with profit, but the
 manager. C. NJ. Upson. held it could
 be done and with fine profit too. and time and experience have maintained
 his assertion.
 The store is divided into four de- partments, the mems, chidrens. gen eral furnishing and trousers depart ments. The first is in charge of George l.. Griffin. who assumes general re- sponsibility of the house in the ab- sence of the manager, Mir Upson; the second is in charge of Samuel F. Kel- sey. the third is managed by George F. Bowling, and the fourth by Joseph R. Johnson. formerly with Johnson X Kaiser. Mir Kelsey is treasurer of the company.
 In 1888 the company was incorpora- ted. The local store is only one of many that are scattered throughout the eastern states. and on account of It's necessarily large. purchases, it Is therefore enabled to buy for the hene- fit of its customers

And for unloading trucks? The other day two car loads of chairs came from the fac tory and q moment after the trucks arrived at tie Scovill street unloading gangway, every chair was in the base- ment and without scratch.
 When furniture arrives from the cars it is put together and polished by staff of men who do nothing else but this kind of work. Their shop is situated on the top floor. "Some furniture dealers were surprised be- cause we made this floor fourteen feet high. but you can seen for yourself our idea.' And it was very obvious. Piles upon piles of furniture, yet no disorder or confusion. A workman could get at any particular piece of goods in moment and still every place seemed to be occupied with something. After purchase has been made, the furniture, though it waS polished before being put together on arriving from the cars is again polish ed before being sent out to the GUS toner
 On the first floor sample of every piece of furniture in the store is on view. baby carriages. rugs, carpets, stoves. draperies. window fixings. beds. bedsteads, tables of all kinds, chairs of every make, mirrors library furniture, parlor outfits, kitchen indis- pensables, everything in the house. keeping line can he had at ''The June tion," the store of the Boston Furni- ture company.

Whether in the perspective or fore short tthe artists eye, which alas. does not always have business depart menf in it. must be able to properly apbraise the value and the tones to create pleasing effect. For art IS nothing more or less than sentiment of the highest sphere and when senti- ment is disturbed by loud contrasts or inharmonious groupings. an un- fortunate impression is established, and the sense of sight is offended.
 But this has never been said of the work of The Roberge Co, decorators, whose shops are situated at Ill South Main street. formerly the home of the Hunt, Trading Stamp Co.,, and 26 Saoyill street.

The company has been only four years in business but in that short time has established for itself a reputation of the best kind. Local work that used to be done in Boston has been secured by the Ro- berge concern.
 A few days ago an order was re- ceiyed for quantity of what IS known In business affairs as advertising flags, which hitherto were made Ill Boston.
