ELECTRIC WORK.
United Electric Co.,, Install and Equip
 the New Florence Hotel.


 In accordance with the decorative and other hig'h-class work on the New Flor enee hotel is the electric work, done by the United Electric company. 4OS North Nineteenth street.
 The United company Is the largest con- cern in the district, and the only firm operating and owning a fixture factory in the south.
 A large number of men have been em- ployed by this company over four months, wiring and equipping the hotel Forces of men were kept continually at work look ing after every part of the installation and no detail no matter how small. was overlooked. So thorough has been the electric part of the work, that the United Electric company claim that trouble along this line in the future is reduced to a minimum, if, indeed, it should ever oc- cur.
 The fixtures in the cafe are of a heraldic mission design with a rathskeler effect while the bridal chamber and parlor floor are art nouveau in design. The fixtures in the lobby are decidedly colon ial Thus ftais that the electric work and fixtures harmonlzes beautifully with the other decorative features.
 The United Electric company, who have had charge of the electric work in the Jefferson theatre, Hillman hotel. city hall and Masonic temple have much to be proud of in the New Florence.

Of these tive parts of the hostelry. This work. which is a fitting illustration Of what decorative art can be was done by Mayer Brothers of BOA North Nineteenth street.
 The cafe Ia finished in leather. made expressly for the Florence hotel by M. II. Birgs Sons & Co. of Buffalo N Ys and Is of the same mamterial and style as tGe furnishings of the Windsor Castle Library in England Of this particular kind Of work there Is little In the south. Still by no means is t unknown In many of the great mansions of New York City, London and Paris the interior decora- tons are composed wholly of leather. Owing to the expense furnishings of this kind entail, 1t will always be n novelty and Birmingham Is to be congratulated on having so up-to-date a hotel as this Is In its midst.
 Two color tones form a decidedly pleas ing effect. A blended shade of green dadoes and gray panels above.
 The ceiling Is also finished in two colors, with gray predominating, and Is a charm Ing water color effect.
 The bridal chamber and parlor floor are finished in silk paper, and are sumptuious- ly furnished. No expense or trouble has been spared by either the management or Mayer Brothers to make this the most magnificent parlor and suite in the south. Ine SILK paper dlOne cost over SE. oO per roll unhung It is safe to say there is nothing like It in this part of the United States, and 1t is claimed by Mayer Brothers to be the most exclusive furn- ishing In the decorative line in the coun- try.
 The furniture in one bridal chamber is made of C1rcasslan walnut, high grade of wood, found only in parts of India. It Is flemish in design with a rich brown color that cannot be initiated. This suite alone cosH more to furnish that It would take to furnish an ordinary home. The furniture in the other Is toona ma hogany This wood, like the leather dec orations, Is a decided novelty and but rarely seen in this part of the country.
 It Is claimed by Mayer Brothers that 1t took ten men over one month to com plete the decorating of the cafe, parlor and bridal chambers. It is estimated by them also to cost alone onto 5000.
