Nothing like detecting" was in
his mind. He merely recognized us
and wished to satisfy our curiosity.
So we started out on the main floor.
There we wandered around in a
maze Of beautiful tapestry furni-
ture. Every model, kind and design
was there. 1t mattered not wheth
er we wished to furnish tiny apart
ment or mansion, everything
seemed to be made for a place of its
own. Then we noted the cutest
breakfast room set with-well, this
is what Mr. Holland said:
"a breakfast room furnished with
this handkerchief, triple table and
chairs in the bamboo design would
seem to more than fill its place as a
breakfast room; one might wish to
linger; indeed, this set is we'll placed
i'll the sun room, where an excellent
light but serves to show off its
beauty and fine finish The fact that
the triple table can be used as d
square table with two oval side
boards or as a table with one round
end and one oval side board, or
placed SO as to make one square and
one round table, are features that are
accommodating to say the least"

being sure of what we said. but in
our own mind we we're furnishing a
dear, sweet, little breakfast room.

know our own language, which con-

Then we wandered among the
steel Office furniture, and the oak
and the mahogany. Why. we never
saw SO much office furniture in one
place in our lives.
Our attention was directed to a
model kitchen in one corner where
the daintiest girl would be proud to
reign supreme. Dear, oh dear! the
ice box was such darling affair and
the kitchen cabinet and the spoohest
gas stove one ever looked upon. We
decided, then and there, to have
kitchen-we simply couldn't resist.
And we thought of all the spring
and summer weddings, when Omaha

Presently we found ourselves in
the music department where coy
rooms are made of heavy glass, al

ords on Victrolas, Grafanolas and
music boxes of every make, to our

Adam and Eve to the present day.
They all have real names such as

Grapes and carpets for homes and
hotels, clubs and cafeterias. There
is absolutely nothing we cannot and

Then we learned that Orchard
and Wilhelm takes the entire output
and own stock in the big factory
at Ralston where some of the very
finest furniture in the world is
made. Beside this they buy from
every worthy concern in the coun-

we'll as retail, business. which gives
them the added advantage of buying
in large quantities at less price.
The buzzing and hum of ma
chinery attracted us and we fol-

seventh floor we discovered a little
factory where old furniture IS re-
