Spring, 1898.
Our new lines of "PARK MILLS," "RAJAHS," and other grades aTe ready
for inspection at our various salesrooms, and are now being shown on the road
by our efficient corps of salesmen.
The " PARK MILLS " are too well known to require extended mention.
The " RAJAH " line of patterns just brought out by us show what this won-
derful invention can do in the way of producing color effects.
No method ever before known was capable of producing such colorings — so
novel and beautiful ! Each pattern is a novelty in itself, and we ask the
trade to be the judge when they see them. ........

Everything points to a large consumption of Ingrain Carpets
during the Spring of 1898. No other grade of carpeting gives
as much value for the money in appearance and wear as an
Ingrain. We make them in all grades for general distribution.

WILTON AND BRUSSELS
-^) CARPETS. {<^
The Carpets made by this Company have received the highest award wherever exhibited,
including Gold Medals at the Paris Exposition, 1878, and at the Centennial, 1876.
Their deserved reputation for excellence of fabric, richness and durability of color, novelty and
beauty of design, has led to frequent infringements, and inferior goods have often been palmed off
in their stead. For the protection of the public the Company has adopted as a trade mark the word
" BIGELOW," which will be woven (at every repeat of the pattern) in white capitals into the back
of the fabric. Customers will therefore have merely to examine the back of a carpet to be certain
that they are getting the genuine Bigelow goods.
THESE GOODS CAN BE HAD FROM ALL FIBST-CLASS DEALEBS.

°Our readers are urged to remember that we are
always desirous to receive communications of interest to
the carpet or upholstery trades, such as changes in firms
or managers, the building or opening of new stores,
improvements in old ones, the adding of new departments,
improved methods of doing business, new inventions, sug-
gestions as to the cutting, making and laying of carpets,
the designing and fitting of draperies, or inquiries and
dissertations relating to the technical or commercial details
of the trades to which this periodical is devoted.
THE TRADE OUTLOOK.
T^HE year 1898 opens very encouragingly as regards
the carpet trade and general business conditions.
The tariff question, which a year ago was a most disturb-
ing factor in all business, is now definitely settled, and we
have in recent dispatches from Washington the positive
assurance that no tariff tinkering of any kind is to be
apprehended during the present session of Congress, a
general understanding to this eft'ect having been reached
by the Republican members of the Ways and Means
Committee.
About this time last year business failures were a dis-
agreeably prominent feature, and although the carpet
trade was even then on a better basis than many others, it
could not altogether escape some of the consequences of
such financial stress. To-day the position of affairs is
greatly improved. The record of failures in general busi-
ness during the past six months shows a very material
decrease, and while some financial disasters are always
liable to occur in the month of January, the carpet trade
generally is unquestionably in sound condition, and there
is every indication that the spring business will fully equal
the expectations of the most optimistic members of the
trade.
Tapestries and Velvets ai-e in excellent demand, and In-
grains are selling fairly well. Body Brussels and Wiltons
are being ordered in the usual conservative manner. The
business in Smyrna rugs and Art Squares has been es-
pecially good.
Linoleum and floor oil cloths are selling readily at present
prices, as dealers now understand that a further advance
in these goods is inevitable to meet the large increase in
the cost of the materials used in their manufacture.
During the past fortnight the business in floor coverings
has been hampered, as it is always, by the exigencies of
Christmas trade and stock taking, but there seems to be no
prospect of a change in this respect; on the contrary, the
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
tendency to ignore carpets completely during the holiday
season is increasing with every year.
Of the trade situation and the outlook altogether it may
be said that it is certainly far more cheerful than it was a
year ago to-day, when The Review took occasion, as it
does now, to wish its readers a Happy New Year.
HAVE YOU SENT IN YOUR REMNANT LIST?
A FORTNIGHT ago we Called the attention of the retail
trade to the fact that our Reinnant Supplement
would be published on February 1, and that those who in-
tended sending in lists of carpet remnants should do so
without fail before January 10, in order to insure their
publication. A great many dealers have already promptly
responded to the notice, but there remain some who cer-
tainly desire a place in the Supplement who have not yet
sent in their lists ; and we are now obliged to request them
to do so at once, as the Supplement positively cannot be
kept open for them later than January 10. After that
date it will be impossible for us to use lists.
Care should be taken in preparing the lists to write on
only one side of the paper, and to begin with the higher
grade of goods, with the borders coming after the same
make of body. For the instruction and convenience of
those desirous of sending in lists we print the following
correct example:

Editor Carpet .\nd Upholstery Trade Review:
Through the columns of your nexl issue would it be agreeable to
give the modus operandi or the correct way of figuring the cost of a
.5-8 border as, body 95 cents and border 1)4 cents above proportion ?
Steady Reader.
When borders first became part of a carpet, about
twenty-five years ago, 4:)4 inch, 9 inch and lo^z inch were
the only widths used, and at that time no extra charge was
made by the manufacturers, for the reason that there was
more money in it then than now for them. The designs
were short, and in the flushes the worsted was dropped, and
the buyer who received a middle strip had no selvage to
sew on the carpet. Before attaching the border the edges
had to be sewed down. This expense and trouble were on
thedealer. The English manufacturers would hem the
borders, if so requested, but they charged 2 cents a yard
for doing so. Six strips of i}^, three strips of 9 inch
and two of ^4, inch made the three-quarter width, and
kept the harness of the loom in working order. After
a time the trade demanded a wider border, so a 3-4
border was made in a 3-4 loom by weaving a 9 inch»strip
with it; still without a selvage on the one side. The mills
that then had yard wide looms were few, and those that
had them made two strips to the piece.
Again, about ten years ago, the 2-4 border became un-
popular on account of having only one selvage and the
trouble it caused the retailer. Up to this time borders
were sold in proportion, and the retailers so sold them
with a few exceptions. With the introduction of the 5-8
border the cost of the design more than doubled, and the
weavers demanded the same pay for weaving a 5-8 as was
paid for weaving a 3-4. Many of our readers are probably
unaware of the fact that owing to the constant changes or
alteration in the patterns a loom or machinery cannot
be run to its full capacity. This is an item of loss to the
manufacturer. Again, the loom is without one-sixth of
the material to steady that part that is without threads ; the
harness, gear, &c., are without work, and there is nothing
to hold it down, so that when the loom is changed back it
has to be put into the hands of a fixer to be tuned up
and made perfect once more to weave 3-4 goods. So with
the light increase of cost the dealer gets 2'i}4 inches of bor-
der with selvage on both sides, whereas in the borders now
out of date he paid for 3-4 goods and received 17)^ inches;
for a 3-8 he received 13 inches; for a 9 inch received only
SX inches, and so on. With the improvement in the de-
signs, flushes have disappeared, and the makers cannot
use the waste yarns to fill in.
According to Mr. James B. Thatcher, of the H. B.
Claflin Company, than whom there is no more competent
authority, and to whom we are indebted for many of the
historical data above quoted, it is safe to say that 7^ cents
over-proportion of Brussels borders does not leave the
mill owner any margin of profit at all, as the production
of any one particular coloring of a design is limited.
Now if ' ' Steady Reader " wishes to figure on the price of
the border let him take five-sixths of the price of the body
and add the 7^ cents and it will give him the answer.
We fail to see that the retailer has any cause to complain
of the 7% cents charged. If he is a carpet man he will get
the same price for the border that he gets for the body,
thus enhancing his profit.
In the example propounded by "Steady Reader" the
5-8 border will cost a little less than 87 cents, but the
manufacturer will take the small fraction of a cent, and
bill him the goods at 87 cents.
F. B. Bru Baker is back at his office in the Hartford

Happy New Year!
Here's to the greater city; may it mean greater pros-
perity !
A snb station of the Brooklyn post oifice has been es-
tablished in the store of Frederick Loeser & Co. , in that
city.
Mr. Berger has bought the business of Julius I. Israel.
Mr. Israel succeeded the firm of Hyman Israel & Sons
about six months ago.
W. D. Boutell, of Boutell Brothers, and F. A. Norway,
buyer for Wm. Donaldson & Co. , Minneapolis, will be in
New York the latter part of the month.
There was a slight fire in the building at 55 to 63 West
Fourteenth street, occupied by R. H. Macy & Co., on the
morning of December 16, causing damage to the amount
of $75.
The work on the new storehouse adjoining the mill of
the E. S. Higgins Carpet Company has been delayed for
about ten days, but notwithstanding the loss of time the
company expects to have the building ready for occupancy
on the contract date.
The E. S. Higgins Carpet Company's elegant quarters
in the Hartford Building, Union square. West, corner of
Seventeenth street, are receiving the finishing touches, and
will be ready on January 15, on which date the company
will remove from its historic location Nos. 84 and 86 White
street.
No buyer should visit this mai'ket without seeing the
three-shoot Keystone Velvets made by Thos. Caves & Sons,
and shown by the agents, F. B. Bru Baker & Co., in the
Hartford Building, Seventeenth street and Broadway.
We hear the production spoken of in the highest terms by
the best judges.
Wm. Romer, dealer in carpets and furniture at No. 2166
Third avenue, made an assignment on December 38 to John
L. Dickinson, without preference. The business was
.started thirty years ago by Adam Romer, his father, who
retired in March last, and gave the business to the son.
Thomas W. McKnight, attorney, said that Romer could
not compete with the department stores; that he had tried
to sell his goods at the smallest possible profit above cost
and make enough to live, but he could not even then meet
the prices of the department stores. Romer's nominal
assets are $2,443.50, and his liabiUties, $2,240.
The Kensington Hotel, Saratoga Springs, N. Y., has
been purchased by H. A. & W. F. Bangs, of the Sturte-
vant House, New York city. As there are 225 rooms, be-
sides parlors and reception rooms, which are to be refur-
nished throughout, there will be an opening for the sale of
a large quantity of carpets, draperies, furniture, &c.
The Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company has just been
awarded the medal of superiority for its very elegant dis-
play in the American Institute Exposition, which closed at
the Madison Square Garden on December 1. The com-
pany has been awarded the same high prize at every ex-
position that has been held by this association for the past
fifteen years.
With the current date it is reported that the Sibley,
Lindsay & Curr Company, of Rochester, N. Y., and the
Minneapolis (Minn.) Dry Goods Company will retire from
the Syndicate Trading Company, and occupy offices at
at 454 Broome street. Silk Exchange Building, corner of
Broadway. At the same time Woodward & Lothrop, of
Washington, D. C, and Wm. Donaldson & Co., of Minne-
apolis, Minn., become members of the Syndicate Trading
Company.
Among the buyers in town during the past fortnight
were W. H. Chenery, for B. H. Gladding & Co., Provi-
dence; J. S. McAnulty, of Williams & McAnulty, Scran-
ton, Pa. ; C. D. Stradley, of Stradley & Barr, Greenville,

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
.... It is rumored that Gimbel Brothers have offered
John & James Dobson $200,000 for their Chestnut street
store recently burned out.
. . . .The report of Thomas W. Barlo, as auditor in the
matter of the accounts of James Pollock, receiver, in Hall
V. Robertson, was filed in court December 39.
....Thos. Develon's Sons have been experiencing a
very satisfactory increase of orders during the past two
weeks, showing that the long predicted boom is on the way.
. . . .The failure of the Chestnut Street National Bank
has caused a great sensation among business men in Phila-
delphia, as it is feared that several large retail establish-
ments will be seriously affected by it.
.... Thomas Caves & Sons are sold all the way up to
the capacity of both of their mills and every loom is hum-
ming. Their new Velvet carpets are working their way
into great popularity, and the demand for them is already
pressing.
... F. J. Rayner is a new addition to the traveling
forces of the Bromley Brothers Carpet Company, and is
doing remarkably well in the territory formerly covered
by Geo. Van Dyne. Mr. Rayner is a young man, and is
on his fir.st trip.
.... Lyndall, Carrington & Co. are now carrying on the
carpet and furniture business at 904 Callowhill street, the
old stand of A. A. Witsil. Edward Lyndall and George
W. Carrington, the principals in the new firm, are both
old employees of Mr. Witsil.
. . . . " Best quality only " has become a trade mark with
the Globe Mills, Trenton avenue and Dauphin street. A
glance at the spring output convinces one that the goods
are not only best quality, but strictly high art in design
and coloring. It is needless to say that the entire plant is
in full operation.
... .A well defined story has gained ground that J. & J.
Dobson, in consequence of the destruction of their Chest-
nut street store, had determined to give up their retail
business in Philadelphia. We are informed that the firm
has not given the question any serious consideration, and
up to date all such rumors are groundless.
.... The salesmen recently connected with the retail de-
partment of John & James Dobson have been fortunate in
obtai.iing positions without much loss of time. Geo. T.
Unrich is with Ivins, Dietz & Magee; Wm. A. Gender,
with Gimbel Brothers, and Thomas L. Milligan, G. Clar-
ence Frantz and Alonzo Baker are with John Wanamaker.
.... Strawbridge & Clothier will commence extensive
alterations in their store shortly after January 1. Two
properties will be added to the Market street front, and
the style of architecture of the westerly end of the store
will be completely changed so as to conform to that on the
corner of Eighth street, thus making the Market street
front one uniform building. The floors will also be made
tmiform in height. When completed, the front will be
one of the most imposing in the city.
....Orlando Crease, of the late firm of McCallum,
Crease & Sloan, reached his fifty-seventh birthday on De-
cember 31, 1897, in high health and abundant prosperity.
That's what Mr. Crease said to me the other day, but
as he had been in active business fifty years in 1887, I am
inclined to think he was joking. Long may he live!
.... One of the finest displays of all kinds of rugs, mats
and animal skins I have ever seen is that made by John
Wanamaker in his carpet department. It extends the en-
tire width of the Market street end of the building, and
down the stairs to the Thirteenth street entrance. The
various hues of the sheep skins add much to the display.
. . . .James Pollock & Son, manufacturers of Damask and
Venetian stair carpets in all widths, double faced Brussels,
together with extra Ingrain, hall and stair carpets, are
having steady orders right along for all of their pro-
ductions. The Ingrain stair carpets, with 4-4 bodies to
match, are a prominent feature in the spring offerings,
and are meeting with the approval of the trade.
.... Mr. Bierck, of the Putnam Mills, Second and
Huntingdon streets, has just made an extension to his
showrooms. It will be handsomely carpeted and other-
wise decorated. The new samples are out and on the road,
and the product is "well sold ahead." Mr. Bierck has
Art Squares on the brain just now, and they will be added
to his list as soon as space to accommodate the big looms
can be obtained.
.... Weiland's carpet factory, at Kensington avenue and
Nicetown lane, was entered by thieves on December 33, who
carried away all the brass mountings and steam gauges
belonging to the engine and boiler. They also took some
brass and lead piping. Entrance was obtained by forcing
open a rear window, and the thieves seem to have gone
about the job in a systematic way. They used machinists'
tools, and cut away such of the brass work as could not be
easily removed any other way. The mill has been idle
some time, and a few days ago Mrs. Weiland showed a
man through the place, who agreed to rent it.
.... It has been the custom for years past for the
Manufacturers' Club, to start a subscription for the
benefit of its employees at the approach of Christmas.
This is peculiarly appropriate, as the rules of the club
prohibit the giving of fees to servants. Mr. James Doak,
Jr., chairman of the house committee, was prompt this
year in reminding the members of the club of the oppor-
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
tunity to make glad the hearts of those with whom they
come in daily contact, and the result was that fully $300
were divided among the employees of the club.
....The house committee of the Manufacturers' Club
has issued the following card :
Manufacturers' Club,
1-109 Walnut Strelt,
Philadelphia.
"Open House."
Guests Welcome. New Year's Day, 1898.

. . . .Hirst & Roger are moving their goods rapidly, con-
sidering their looms are all in the new mill on Alleghany
avenue, and their drums;,in the old plant. They will,
however, have everything completed shortly. When the
new looms are in position there will be sixty in all. Mr.
Richard Hirst is on a tour through the West, with his
trunks packed with samples of the spring offerings, and
very satisfactory orders are being received from him.
. . . .Among the novelties offered by the Bromley Broth-
ers Carpet Company is a new weave which has come to be
known as Pro-Brussels. It has struck a popular vein, and
orders are coming from the men on the road quite freely.
The company has also brought out an entirely new thing
in Art Squares. They are made with handsome borders
and solid centres in all the colors known to the trade.
The centres are so completely "tied down" as to make
them absolutely solid.
... .It is now four years since David Jamieson's Sons
succeeded to the business on Leib street, and during that
time there has been a constant increase in the output of
their looms. They manufacture all grades of Ingrain
carpets, from the best Extra Super down to the lowest
grade of cotton fabrics, and their designs and colorings can
hardly be surpassed. Four to five travelers are active
during the busy season in showing their productions
through the Western country. They have now orders
enough ahead to keep their looms busy for two months.
. . . .That good goods will always bring their full value
in the market is abundantly demonstrated in the fact that
the entire product of Extra Ingrain carpets manufactured
by McCallum & McCallum at their Glen Echo Mills,
Wayne Junction, Pa., has been sold up to February!,
1898, at the full standard price. In no instance was there
the slightest variation. Everything is right in the Glen
Echo Extra Supers, as well as in all their other pro-
ductions. McCallum & McCallum report the heaviest
wholesale business up to January 1, 1898, they have had
for years.
A BoiLFR in one of the engine houses of the mills of S.
Sanford & Sons, at Amsterdam, N. Y., exploded on the
night of the 27th ult., and the damage done will amount
to about $10,000.
Fire started in the Adatns Paper Mills and the Central
Carpet Lining Company's plant at Joliet, 111 , on Decem-
ber 27, and all the buildings and contents were consumed.
Total loss, $20,000, with $2,750 insurance. The question
who will get the insurance money will have to be decided
by the courts as the property consumed was condemned by
the sanitary district and later appealed.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
S. SANFORD & SONS.
THE superb lines of Tapestry and Velvet carpeting
brought out for the spring season by S. Sanford &
Sons have been promptly appreciated by the trade, as
shovyn by the liberal orders already placed. The lines
comprise all the various grades which have made the
Messrs. Sanford so noted in the manufacture of A'elvets
and Tapestries, and each grade is replete with new, original
and artistic designs and colorings, which are certain to be
quick sellers. The trade will find the lines on view, as
usual, at the New York office of the Messrs. Sanford, 29
Union square; at their Chicago office, 147 Fifth avenue;
their Boston office, 523 Washington street, and at 318
Phelan Building, San Francisco.
The alterations and improvements in progress in the
New York salesroom of the firm are almost completed,
and will afford all the facilities which can be desired for
the advantageous display of goods and the convenience
and comfort of buyers.
THE NORRISTOWN CARPET MILLS CLOSED.
J. W. BARKER, THE OWNER, MISSING.
THE Norristown (Pa ) Carpet Mills were closed on the
Kith ult. by the sheriff, on two judgments held by
T. J. Keveney & Co., of New York, amounting to
$4,494.19.
The closing of the mills was the result of the dis-
appearance of the owner, James W. Barker, who left
Norristown on the 8th ult., and is supposed to have gone
to Chicago, although up to this time nothing has been
heard of him. On the 8th ult. Mr. Barker obtained from
Gimbel Brothers, Philadelphia, a check for $2,400 in pay-
ment for goods supplied by him to that firm. The check
was cashed by Mr. Barker at the bank the same day, and
he then returned to Norristown. His family noticed that
he was speaking and acting rather strangely, but on being
reminded that he had intended to make a business trip to
Washington that evening, he made arrangements accord-
ingly and left Norristown by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
It has been since ascertained that instead of going to
Washington he went to Chicago, and it is supposed that
his trip there was influenced by a desire to secure a large
contract for carpeting a Chicago hotel, negotiations to
this end being then in progress.
Mr. Barker has been connected with the Norristown
Carpet Mills for many years. Until about six months
ago, when he became the owner of the mills, he had acted
as superintendent of the manufacturing department. The
interest of Harrison C. Townsend, the former proprietor
of the mills, was sold to him about that time. Mr. Town-
send had assigned, and his creditors had accepted a settle-
ment of 25 cents on the dollar. Henry C. Townsend, his
father and one of his largest creditors, facilitated the
settlement by taking a mortgage for $14,000 on the mill,
instead of cash. The mills were then transferred to Mr.
Barker, who paid $31,000 in cash. Another mortgage for
$14,000 was allowed to remain on the property, and the
Montgomery Trust Company advanced $17,000 on an ad-
ditional mortgage, which was guaranteed by several resi-
dents of Norristown. The mortgage held by Henry C.
Townsend comes after the two just mentioned.
Mr. Barker has had but little experience in financial
affairs, and it is thought that the business cares and com-
plications of the last six months may have affected his mind
to some extent. He was born in Kidderminster, Eng-
land, but has lived in Norristown many years, and is well
and favorably known there.
The following circular with portrait has been sent out
by the Norristown chief of poHce to the police authorities
throughout the country:
Mysteriously Missing.
James W. Barker left Norris-
town Wednesday, December
8, 1897, at 8 p. m., and bought
a ticket at Broad street station,
P. R. R., for Chicago, at 8:45,
for train leaving at 8;50. He
is forty-seven years old, 5 feet
9 inches high, hair light, fore-
head high, wears small light
moustache, blue eyes, large
eyeballs, right eyelid drooped
more than left ; had abscess
scar on jawbone. Wore gold-
rimmed spectacles, and carried
a pair of eyeglasses to see at
a distance. Sight was so poor
that if he took spectacles off he had to feel for them. He had
highly nervous temperament. Dress: Black serge suit, brown Fe-
dora hat (Stetson make), underwear marked J. B., wore ruby scarf-
pm with five petals. Had habit of taking hold of end of his mous-
tache when in deep thought. He carried gold watch with monogram,
gold chain and a locket containing hair and a boy's picture. Had
quite a sum of money when last seeu. Carried black, shiny leather
handbag, fasteners broken and secured by two straps, containing
black cheviot pants, blue coat and vest, steel Fedora hat, &c. He
was well known in the carpet trade. He was probably demented,
and inquiry at hospitals is requested.
Any information regarding him should be sent to his son,
Arthur H. Barker.
Or Wm. H. Rodenbaugh, Chief of Police, Norristown, Pa.
December 30, 1897. Kindly have notice in your local paper.
As we go to press a dispatch from Arthur Barker states
that nothing has yet been heard of his father's where-
abouts.
YARDUM BROTHERS & CO.
rHE offerings of Yardum Brothers & Co., the well-known
importers of Oriental rugs and carpets, should
strongly interest every handler of such goods. Among
the special features of the stock they are now showing are
a big assortment of Irans in large and small sizes, Persian
hall rugs, Afghans, a choice lot of antique Shirvans, and a
very extensive and desirable line of Bagdad portieres.
Yardum Brothers & Co. will remove on or about Feb-
ruary 1 from their present quarters, 339 Broadway, New
York, to more spacious premises at Nos. 594 and 596
Broadway and 124 to 130 Crosby street. Before removal
they are offering many special bargains to the trade to re-
duce stock.
GoETTER, Weil & Co., dry goods and carpet dealers,
Montgomery, Ala., have made a general assignment. No
statement is made as to assets and liabilities. From the
best information obtainable the liabilities are about $250,-
000, and the assets, consisting of goods and accounts,
probably will reach $300,000. Deputy Sheriff Whoriskey,
of New York city, has received an attachment against
Goetter, Weil & Co. for $1,823, in favor of Eugene
Bernheimer, for merchandise.
FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL, MADISON SQUARE, NEW YORK, PURCHASED BY JOHN WANAMAKER FOR A DEPARTMENT STORE.
WANAMAKER AT THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL.
REPORTED PURCHASE OF THE BUILDING IN ORDER
DEPARTMENT STORE.
THE Brooklyn Times of the 24th ult. announced that
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, this city, had been pur-
chased by John Wanamaker, who intended to rebuilt on
the site a mammoth department stoi^e. The story as told
by the Times is as follows:
"One of the biggest real estate purchases that New
York city has known for a decade was consummated yes-
terday, and with the consummation was the inauguration
of a project of the most thorough importance to the retail
commercial world of the greater city.
" The transaction was no less than the purchase by John
Wanamaker, the retail merchant prince, of Philadelphia,
New York and Paris, of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, at the
corner of Broadway and Twenty-third street, from the
executors of the Darling estate.
"The Fifth Avenue Hotel has for a score of years been
the most noted hostelry in the United States, if not in the
world, and among travelers its name has been a synonym
for that of New York. Located at probably the busiest
corner in the city, it is passed by hundreds of thousands of
persons daily.
" It is Mr. Wanamaker's intention to change the build-
ing from a hotel to. a mammoth dry goods establishment,
conducted on the same lines as that in the old Stewart
Building, at Broadway, Fourth avenue, Ninth and Tenth
streets. The hotel is in the centre of the great shopping
district of New York, and its location is, in fact, more
prominent than that of any of the other big stores there.
Mr. Wanamaker's lease of the old Stewart Building has
still a year to run, and not until the expiration of that time
will the hotel property be transformed to a retail dry
goods store. Then Mr. Wanamaker, following the lead
of other merchants, will move farther uptown. The
property is peculiarly eligible from Brooklyn by means of
the bridge and the elevated and cable roads from the lower
section, and the Twenty-third street ferries and the sur-
face cars which are being changed to underground trolleys
from the Eastern District."
FRIES-BRESLIN COMPANY.
As manufacturers of Smyrna carpets, rugs and mats, the
Fries-Breslin Company are exceptionally conspicuous
and their offerings for the spring trade are well calculated
to maintain and enhance their high reputation. They
show in carpet sizes three grades, the Empress being
made in all sizes up to 13x18, and the Monarchs and
Orientals in all sizes up to 9x12. Their lines are on view
at their mills, Camden, N. J. ; their New York salesroom
in the Hartford Building, Broadway and Seventeenth
street; their Chicago office, 186 Market street, where Evoy
& Flanigan are their agents, and at the salesrooms of W.
W. Corson & Co., their Boston agents, 564 Washington
street.
Buyers are strongly advised to see the Fries-Breslin
Company's new lines at once, for they will well repay in-
spection
Hadden & Co. send out as a New Year's greeting a
calendar which takes the shape of a whisk broom with a
holder made of China matting. It is unique as an adver-
tisement, useful as an office appliance, and is already in
great demand.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
Ames. — Franklin Ames Is still at the head of Marshall Field & Co.'s
(Chicago) wholesale carpet department, and the son of Field's old
partner — Leiter — is engaged in a big struggle to prevent the elevator
men from unloading cotton chain wheat on him when his contracts
call for extra super 1080-ends-and-13 pair-of -double-tilling grain. Mr.
Ames has had some fun with the carpet growers, but the carpet
buyers out Kansas way will look very carefully at the kind of stuff
that is delivered to them under futures calling for all wool Extra
Supers.
Bailey. — The latest number of the Interstate — the Interstate
Casualty Company's bright little monthly, of which President
George E. Hamlin, the former carpet jobber, is editor — says: " M. J.
Bailey, who for many years was a prominent figure in carpet trade
circles, is now honoring the Interstate with his full time and talents,
and as a result is piling up a big accident business."
Bogert. — "Charlie Bogert," said one of his competitors the other
day, " is one of the most methodical men in the world. He opens
his desk at the same minute every morning, and always gets by
mail some orders for Hirst's rugs. He does the same thing every
business day in the year. I wish I could get my customers to learn
the same methodical habits."
Field.— J. E. Field, formerly of Field & McNaughton, of the Em-
porium, San Francisco, has connected himself with W. T. Smith &
Son, San Francisco, and will cover the southern and middle terri-
tory in California, with probable headquarters in Los Angeles. Mr.
Field has been long identified with the carpet and upholstery trade
on the Pacific Coast, and is well known as a popular and courteous
salesman. His acquisition to the force is highly appreciated by
the firm, and will no doubt prove of mutual advantage.
H.AMLIN. — The Interstate, which is the organ of the casualty com
pany bearing that name, and of which George E. Hamlin is presi-
dent, comes to us this month with a gorgeous holly heading. To
George, who was always the most popular man in the carpet busi-
ness, and whose company is
The sweet little cherub that sits up aloft
To keep watch for the life of poor (carpet) Jack,
(After Dibdin),
we extend the heartiest congratulations of this and all other seasons.
Hardy. — H. C. Hardy, who is now general manager of McClain,
Simpson & Co.'s Eighth avenue stores, was fornine years with Hood,
Bonbright & Co. , Philadelphia, and came to his present place last
October.
Hockridge. — William G. Hockridge, of Arnold, Constable & Co.'s
rug and matting department, will return from China early in Feb-
ruary.
Hogue. — P. M. Hogue, who has for nearly six years been with
J. A. Roberts & Co., of Utica, N. Y., on January 3 assumes charge
of the carpet departmt,"nt of Hugh Glenn & Co. in the same town,
JuDsoN. — The entire trade extends to Walter C. Judson, of T. B.
Shoaff & Co., the compliments of the season. He has done some
things in fabric, patterns and colors that will be remembered long
after next spring's trade shall have ended.
Keeler. — P. J. Keeler, who is carrying the lines of J. & J. Dob-
son, John Dunlap & Son, James Dunlap Carpet Company, James
Hall Carpet Company, Swire & Scott and Farr & Bailey, reports an
excellent trade in the Far West and on the Pacific Slope. Mr.
Keeler is a shining example of what industry, tact and grit may
accomplish.
Law. — Walter W. Law returned last week from a rest-seeking trip
to the South; and is once more at his desk studying the question of
how many more looms he can sell the product of. If it will add any-
thing to the past holiday pleasure of the wizard magician of the
trade, the writer, who has all the figures before him, can assure Mr.
Law that he to-day controls the product of more machines making
floor coverings than any three other men who ever lived before him.
This sounds like a Wagner overture, when we remember that in one
year John Crossley and a few other manufacturers sold the United
States over 3,000,000 square yards of carpets, but Uncle Sam, who
doesn't pay the freight, generally knows what he is talking about.
Melrose. — -It has already been recorded in these columns, and
when you see it in The Review it is so, that the late Ned Thurston
was one of the best story-tellers of the day ; but the staff of Joseph
Wild & Co. are not left without a raconteur of the first water. At a
quiet little dinner the other night one of the brightest men in the
trade suddenly gathered his Smyrna robes about him and said:
"Jim, those three stories are the best I've heard in twenty years ;
they are all new and, confound you, you know how to tell them, and
yet I believe that every one of them is a lie."
Parr.— Henry M. Parr, Room 148, 110 Worth street, has taken the
line of the Art Square Manufacturing Company, Philadelphia, for
the metropolitan district, and in connection with same will run a full
line of Extra Supers, Supers and half wool Unions.
Pearson. — Edward Pearson, of the firm of Pearson & Emmott,
has returned to this city after a fortnight's trip, which included
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and other cities.
Scott. — George E. Scott, the New England traveler of Arnold,
Constable & Co., has been sending in some very clever orders from
the beau and codfish eaters.
Shoaff.— Thomas B. Shoaff, of T. B. Shoaff & Co.. agents for
John Bromley & Sons, the Roxbury Company and M. J. Whittall &
Co. , has been off for a holiday vacation. It is noticeable that when
ever T. B. takes a holiday a number of additional looms start up in
the various factories he represents.
Smith. — Walter M. Smith, of Smith, Hogg & Gardner, is back
again from the South with fully restored health.
Thomas. — Edward G. Thomas, " to know whom," an old grizzled
carpet man once said, " is a liberal education," left last week on his
trip for Arnold, Constable & Co. He is a clever salesman, but it
doesn't take much brains to sell some of the patterns Manager
Daintrey has provided for the consideration of the spring buyers.
Zeimer. — A countryman once asked, after reading a New York
paper, "Is there anybody in this city who sells furniture except
Baumann? " Considering the fact that of the dozen Baumanns who
do a carpet and furniture trade,_ at least eight are represented in the
advertising columns of the papers every day, the query was not sur-
prising. Last year I. Zeimer, the advertising agent of Baumann
Brothers, expended $100,000 in advertising their four stores, and his
allowance will be naturally increased in 1898.
JOHN CROSSLEY & SONS.
MR. Henry Beuttell, American agent for John Cross-
ley & Sons, of Halifax, England, has his new lines, as
prepared especially for the American trade, now on view
in the New York salesroom, 109 and 111 Worth street.
The offerings comprise Wiltons, Brussels, Velvets, Tapes-
tries, Wilton Daghestan rugs and a very attractive line of
bordered seamless carpets in Wiltons, Brussels and Tapes-
try, in sizes from 6 feet 9 inches by 9 feet 9 inches to 12
by 15 feet.
Albert Graff & Co., Philadelphia, elsewhere make an
attractive offer to close buyers of China and Japan mat-
tings. The prices and terms, as will be seen by reference
to the advertisement, are very favorable.

Ilieir History and Manufacture.
(Continued from the October 15 number.)
Hand Made and Chenille Axmlnsters.
LD-STYLE hand made Axminsters were first
manufactured by Thomas Whitty, who es-
tablished a factory for the purpose at
Axminster, England, in 1755. When Mr.
Whitty failed in business some years later
the industry was transferred to Wilton,
where a factory for the manufacture of the goods is still
in operation.
In 1833 Mr. Templeton, a manufacturer of chenille
shawls at Paisley, Scotland, conceived the idea that the
process of making these shawls might be applied in the
manufacture of Axminster carpets, and this was the origin
of the Templeton Chenille Axminsters, which are now
produced in the factory of Templeton & Co., Glasgow,
Scotland. This firm are also extensive manufacturers of
machine made Axminsters.
In the weaving of the old-fashioned hand made Axmin-
sters the carpet is made in one piece on a loom which con-
sists substantially of a large wooden roller or winch, about
2 feet 6 inches in diameter and some 20 feet long, pinned
at the ends to two uprights. These uprights are joined
together by a beam some 1: or 5 feet above the roller, and
of course parallel to it. The long warp threads of the
carpet are passed over this beam and separated from one
another by little pins or studs in the beam. The strong
linen threads comprising this warp are fixed to the roller
at one end, the other end being also secured.
The girls who do the weaving sit beside one another on
a long bench in front of the loom, each girl having a cer-
tain width of carpet to weave. She has first to fix the
pile to the warp strands, and then to weave the strands into
a solid backing.
Beside her, so that her left hand can reach them, hang
a number of short lengths of wool of various colors. In
front of her is pinned the colored paper pattern which she is
to reproduce in the carpet. Guided by her pattern she
takes the appropriate piece of wool, ties it tightly on to
the warp strand, and then, with a pair of scissors, snips
off the two ends of-the knot within about an inch of the
strand. In this way the two woolen tufts are left standing
out from the warp, and by placing a succession of them
side by side the thick pile of the carpet is gradually built
up. When one row of tufts is completed, a shuttle carry-
ing strong threads is passed once backward and once for-
ward between the strands, thus interweaving warp and
tufts. Then comes another row of tufts, and the passing
of the shuttle as before, and so on until the carpet is
finished. Each tuft of the pile goes through to the very
back of the carpet, so that real Axminster cannot become
threadbare until it is worn entirely through.
The process of manufacture is slow, and the thick heavy
pile calls for a great amount of wool; consequently real
Axminster carpets are extremely expensive. The demand
for them, as with Aubusson and Savonnerie carpets,
comes from quarters where more importance is attached
to quality than to price — large and fashionable hotels,
club houses, royal palaces, and houses of the rich. The
floor coverings known as Berlin carpets are similar to
Axminsters. They are made in Germany, and also at
a factory in Morrisania, New York city.
In the machine made chenille Axminsters, the chenille
is first woven so as to form a double fringe of colored yam
with a fine thread running along the centre to keep the
thread lengths of wool taut. This fabric is then cut into
strips, each of which is bound into a V-shape, so that the
double fringe becomes a series of thick tufts of wool side
by side and firmly held together by the binding thread.
This chenille is then ready to serve as the weft of the
carpet fabric, being laid across the warp threads and woven
into place in the hand loom, which is used for all
chenille Axminsters wider than 27 inches.

COSTIKYAN FRERES.
O
^NE of the noteworthy facts in our Oriental
trade is the rapid advance into prom-
inence of Costikyan Freres as an importing
house of the first magnitude, and the hold
they have secured upon the favor and
confidence of the trade. The appreciable
growth of their business
through the past year,
~:;=— j-~ ^n^i the number of
^^i^^**""^ important transactions
^"^ successfully handled at
both ends of the line, are a sufficient proof of this.
To those initiated into the peculiar and curious myster-
ies of trade in the Orient it is no secret that success, and
in fact progress in any measure in that direction, is im-
possible without a mastery of the unique native code of
social and commercial ethics of Persia and Asia Minor, as
well as a knowledge of values which is beyond the ken of
ordinary mortals in our raatter of fact West. It may be
as difficult, on the other hand, for the ordinary merchant
of the Orient to appreciate and to keep step with the strict
business methods of Western commerce, and stand the
pressure of forced marches that mark the boundaries of
the seasons in our markets.
Those of our Oriental friends among us who have suc-
cessfully combined both these essential requirements of
their chosen vocation have the hearty good will and
sincere regard of all who meet them in business relations.
In their special advertisement in this issue Messrs.
Costikyan Freres announce that they begin the new year
fully equipped with large lines of antique and modern
Oriental rugs and carpets, a large portion of which were
entered before the new tarifi: went into force.

Baltimore,
December 28.
BALTIMORE AND VICINITY.
The famous clipper ship Standard is now at Amoy,
China, loading for Lyon Brothers & Co., and will call at
Hong Kong to complete her cargo of
general merchandise. She is the tenth

1894, when they reopened direct trade between China and
Japan and Baltimore, after it had lapsed nearly a half
century. The Standard will be the first ship in the history
of this port to enter from Amoy.

of money spent, to the season last year.
Moses Hutzler, of A. Hutzler's Sons, dry goods and
carpeting, Richmond, Va., was elected a director of the
Union Bank, of Richmond, at a special meeting of the
board of directors held recently.
The inmates of the Maryland Penitentiary presented

nection with the present store of the firm.
James A. Fritter, senior member of the York (Pa.) Fur-
niture and Carpet Company, died the 17th inst., in the
forty-sixth year of his age. He was formerly engaged in
the furniture manufacturing business in Baltimore on West
Pratt street, and subsequently carried on the retail carpet
and furniture trade on South Eutaw street. He was a
native of Virginia and unmarried.
A number of leading merchants of .Baltimore who are
opposed to the trading stamp system have engaged an at-
torney for the purpose of preparing a bill to be submitted
to the next Legislature making the giving of trading
stamps illegal. It is said that there is dissatisfaction among
many merchants with the system, some of those even who
are usmg the stamps desiring to see a law passed making
them illegal. Such a law is now in force in Pennsylvania,
Virginia and the District of Columbia.
During the past few days a rumor has been current in
Baltimore business and financial circles that John Wana-
maker, the celebrated Philadelphia merchant, has been
seriously considering the establishment of a large depart-
ment store in Baltimore, conducted upon the same lines
as his Philadelphia place, and that he had even been look-
ing around this city for a suitable site for his new enter-
prise. Mr. Wanamaker, however, declares that he has
never had the slightest idea of locating a part of his busi-
ness in Baltimore.
At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the
Credit Men's Association it was reported by the chairman
of the committee of investigation that arrangements had
been perfected for co- operating with the national associa-
tion in the prosecution of fraudulent failures, and this
work will be taken up in Baltimore as soon as the associa-
tion is incorporated in January. A standard trade inquiry
blank, recently adopted by the national association, was
indorsed by the local association and 40,000 of them or-
dered.

An Arkansas editor, on reading that a young lady in
New York kneads bread with her gloves on, indulged in
the following soliloquy: " It is said that a New York girl
kneads bread with her gloves on, but that is no news to
us. We need bread with our boots on; we need bread
with our pants on ; and if those subscribers so much in
arrears don't pay up pretty soon we will need bread with-
out anything on."

ONE OF NEW YORK'S NEW YEAR'S GIFTS.
EW York to-day receives an im-
portant accession to its manu-
facturing industries, and the
only one ot the kind it has, in
the American Linoleum
Manufacturing Company, of
Linoleumville, Staten Island.
Incidentally it may be men-
tioned that the directors, John
Cartledge, J. A. Dean, Henry
MacKay, John H. Berresford,
and Charles F. Cartledge, with their hundreds of em-
ployees and their dependents, will also become citizens of
the greater city.
The concern was started in 1872, and was the pioneer
in the manufacture of linoleum in this country. In 1873
it was made a stock company, with the late Joseph Wild
as president, Frederick Walton being superintendent. In
1874 David N. Melvin became general superintendent,
which position he still holds. John B. Pearson is assist-
ant superintendent.
From the beginning the business has steadily increased,
until the plant has grown to the dimensions shown in our
illustration, which is engraved from a recent photograph.
It includes forty buildings, ranging in size from 40xG0 to
30x420 feet, covering, with tracks, docks, &c., 250 acres
of land, and possesses every modern machine and uses the
best process known to the industry. It was the first in the
country to make inlaid goods.
The company owns its docks on the Kill Von Kull, a
steam railroad traverses the property, the B. & O. sends
special lighters to the place and two lines of steamers
touch the wharfs daily, so that the facilities for the recep-
tion of material and the shipment of the product are unex-
celled. The trolley line from Port Richmond to St.
George passes the works, rendering access easy.
The officers of the company are : President, John Cart-
ledge; treasurer. Henry MacKay; secretary, Philip Mac-
Kay, and superintendent, David N. Melvin, and the sell-
ing agents are Jos. Wild & Co., 82 and 84 Worth street
and 11 and 13 Thomas street, New York, with branch at
611 Washington street, Boston, Mass.
THE LAW OF DESIGN PATENTS.
THE following letter from the eminent patent lawyer
Walter K. Griifin will be of interest to our manu-
facturing readers :
Law Office of Walter K. Griffin, 1
No. 11 Pine street, >-
New York, December 21, 1807. )
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review;
I send with this a number of the Federal Reporter, in which at
page 813. and more particularly upon pages 815 and 816, where I
have marked the side with pencil, you will find a decision of some
importance in regard to the Design Patent Law of February 4, 1897.
As you are aware, this law imposes a fine of $250 upon certain
infringement of designs, in addition to any profits which have been
made by the sale of the infringing article. Until quite recently it
was the common practice not only to sue the manufacturer of the
infringing article, but also the retailers throughout the country who
had bought the goods innocently. In the case which I send you,
" Fuller V. Field," the defendant had purchased some rosettes, to
be used for ornamenting ladies' dresses, from the widow of a man
who had been his employee. Suit was brought, and the court, while
giving the profits made by the innocent infringer, yet decided very
strongly that the $250 fine was only to be imposed in case of delib-
erate infringement, and apparently very strongly suggests that

this fine should only be imposed when the infringement was decidedly
wilful. It struck me that the extract I have marked on page 815,
with some explanatory notes, might prove interesting to your
readers. Very truly yours, Walter K. Griffin.
The enclosure, which is an extract from the opinion of
Jenkins, Circuit Judge, is as follows:
The master also allowed the sum of $350, the penalty stated in
the act of February 4, 1887(24 Stat. 387). The court sustained the
exception by the defendants to this finding of the master, and the
correctness of that ruling is before us. The statute in question
declares it to be unlawful for anyone, without the license of the
owner, to apply a design secured by letters patent, or any colorable
imitation of it, to any article of manufacture for the purpose of sale,
or to sell or expose for sale any article of manufacture to which the
design or colorable imitation of it shall, without the license of the
owner, have been applied, knowing that the same has been so applied ;
and provides a penalty of $250 for so doing, and that such sum may
be recovered by the owner of the letters patent to his own use,
either by action at law or upon a bill in equity for an injunction to
restrain such infringement. We concur with the court below that
this penalty only attaches where the infringer knows that the article
exposed for sale has upon it a design protected by letters patent.
It was not the object of the statute to impose that penalty upon an
innocent infringer. It is in the nature of a punishment for the
wilful violation of another's protected right. So far as this record
discloses, the infringement here was inadvertent, without knowledge
of the complainant's right. It occurred through a laudable effort to
aid a supposed deserving widow of a former employee, and the
extent of the infringement was inconsiderable. We cannot, upon
the language of this act, suppose that it was the intention of Con-
gress to impose such a penalty for an inadvertent and ignorant
invasion of another's right.
THE MANUFACTURERS' CONVENTION.
THE third annual convention of the National Association
of Manufacturers will be held in this city on January
25, 2G and 27. The business sessions will be held in the
Masonic Temple, at Sixth avenue and Twenty-third street,
during the days of January 25, 26 and 27, and on the even-
ing of January 26. Additional committee rooms for the
accommodation of the various sections of the association
have been secured at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, v?hich is
only a block east of the Masonic Temple.
The social headquarters will be at the Waldorf-Astoria,
where on the night of Tuesday, January 25, a Bohemian
smoker will be given, the details of which are now in the
hands of a committee. The banquet of the association is
expected to be the largest ever given in a hotel, and will
also take place at the Waldorf-Astoria on the night of
January 27.
Among members of the various convention committees
are William F. Cochran, William Barbour, Stewart Harts-
horn, Chas. H. Webb, H. C. Valentine, Benjamin Atha,
Frank L. Babbott.
We have seen in several business houses a sign put up

gramme, bulletin or any similar scheme." — Western Ad-

PACIFIC SLOPE SIFTINGS.
The furniture and carpet business in this city is just about holding
its own, which is to say that it is hardly as active as it should be

almost on the eve of Christmas. The rush to the
Klondike in the spring will undoubtedly act as a
splendid tonic to trade in general, for the reason
that San Francisco will without question be the headquarters for
outfitting.
N. P. Cole, of the California Furniture Company, is suffering with
an attack of rheumatism.
G. A. Avery, carpet and furniture dealer, of Nogales, Ariz., has
sold out to J. L. Stambaugh.
The Copper City (Mon. ) Commercial Company has added a furni-
ture department to its establishmont.
H. C. Stock has entered into partnership with F. D. Robbins in
the Ashland, Ore., Furniture, Fixture and Casket Company.
Moritz Walter, of the New York house of D. N. & E. Walter &
Co., is paying San Francisco a visit accompanied by his daughter.
The Emporium and Golden Rule Bazaar furniture department
reports quite an active holiday trade. Mr. Berry says that business
is looking up very well.
The Charles M. Plum & Co. Upholstery Company is working
steadily on high-class work, and while no especially large orders
have been received lately those on hand are sufficient to keep the
factory busy.
The health officer of Spokane, Wash., complains that the mattress
factory on Vancouver Island is manufacturing mattresses of rags
that have been neither disinfected nor cleaned. Some action will be
taken in the matter.
Albert Hoff, known to the trade as a wandering upholsterer,
is charged at San Francisco with the murder of Mrs. Mary Clute.
The case is now causing much excitement here, as the unfortunate
woman was foully murdered on Wednesday of this week. Hoff was
the last person seen to leave the house, and the police are confident
that they have a strong chain of evidence against him. The motive
so far is not known.
D. N. & E. Walter Company report business a little slack now, as
a consequence of stock taking about town. S. J. Ackerman has just
returned from an Eastern purchasing trip, while P. M. Kemp is
East at the present in the interest of the upholstery department.
F. W. Titus, Northern California traveler; E. P. Ackerman, Los
Angeles, Cal., representative, and Harry Harris are all getting their
samples ready to start on the road next week.
Charles M. Plum, senior member of the Charles M. Plum & Co.
Upholstery Company, one of our most esteemed pioneers and citi-
zens, died Tuesday morning last of pneumonia, after an illness of
only five days. Had he survived until December 31 he would have
attained the full time allotted to man — seventy years. The demise of
Mr. Plum has caused universal sorrow not only among his many
friends in the trade, but among merchants in general, as he was not
only a substantial business man, but one possessed of a genial
disposition. Mr. Plum has been identified with the Masons, Knights
Templar, California Society of Pioneers and other orders. He was
born in New York and came to California in 1849, but soon returned
East, only to return to California in 1851, and established himself in
the furniture business, after which he founded the firm bearing his
name at the time of his death. The business will be conducted
hereafter by his only son, Charles M. Plum, Jr. , who has been closely
associated with his father in the business for about thirteen years.
This young man is fully adapted to the position, as not only his taste
and ideas but his personality as well are very suggestive of his
father. Golden Gate.
As regards the China matting market Deacon & Co., of
Canton, say, under date of November 16, that it is believed
that nearly all the American orders have been placed, and
settlements may be put at 220,000 rolls; a fair quantity of
cargo is going forward by sail and steam; prices are much
firmer for low grades, and all Lintan and Tung Koong
looms have enough work to keep them busy until the turn
of the year ; a small business in mats has been passing for
London.

ADVERTISERS IN TRADE JOURNALS.
^^^HE trouble with a great many adver-
tisers in trade journals is that they
expect too much from that source.
They expect the advertisement to do
more work than their best travelers,
whose expenses are as much in one
month as the yearly cost of a page
advertisement. Too often no atten-
tion is given to the advertisement
except to change the wording once
in six months. Imagine the big (?)
orders .salesmen would receive if
they simply handed their card to a
customer and said they would sit down and wait for an
order. This is how an advertisement in a trade paper is
treated. Why not change your advertisement occasion-
ally ? Speak to your customers through it the same as
your traveler would talk to them, and you will soon dis-
cover that the trade paper is the only medium.
The publisher of the best journal in existence can only
sell space and guarantee circulation among probable
ask regarding any paper is, first, How many dealers whose
trade I desire to gain or to retain does this paper reach ?
Secondly, Is it so conducted as to command their atten-
tion ? Any honest publisher will afford him full informa-
tion on these points. — Ex.
A BICYCLE CABINET.
So many carpet and furniture dealers now handle bicycles
that they will feel interest in the simple and inexpen-
sive piece of furniture shown herewith. It is the invention
of an English manufacturer, and by far the best solu-
tion of the problem how to store a bicycle in the home that
we have yet seen. Neither by its design nor proportions
does the new bicycle cabinet reveal its primary object, but
it is to all appearance an eminently useful dwarf book-
case, with shelves, cupboards and curtained recesses. By
opening the side door, however — which can be placed at
either end, as may be desired — it is seen that ample ac-
commodation for a machine is provided, and more than
that, a strip of carpet, 25 yards long and 13 inches wide,
is so arranged that it may be pulled out to protect the
the floor covering from mud or dust, and wound up again

buyers. He cannot guarantee that the advertisement will
pay. That rests with the advertiser. The space must be
used to the best advantage, and last, but not least, do not
give the travelers all the credit for the year's business.
Another mistake advertisers make is that they look too
much for cheap advertising. When you are sick, do you
look around for the cheapest doctor? Or, if you want to
engage a lawyer, do you look for the low priced and most
obscvire? Certainly not.
The value of advertising in any trade journal depends
upon the quality and amount of its circulation. Of two
papers, each having an equal circulation, which would do
the advertiser the most good, the one which had a paid
circulation among tlie class of merchants the advertiser
hoped to sell, or the one which was largely circulated free
"where the advertisers would see it, " that is among the
advertisers themselves? Certainly the one which reached
the prospective customers of the advertiser. Therefore
the value of any trade paper to any advertiser depends
first and foremost on the extent of its circulation among
the class of dealers the advertiser seeks to make or has
made his customers. The question an advertiser should
by means of a handle when it has served its purpose. The
cabinet will contain a lady's or gentleman's bicycle, the
inside width for the handle bars being 1 foot 8 inches, and
the height 3 feet G inches, but any special size can be made
to order.
The inlaid linoleum made by the American Linoleum
Manufacturing Company is manufactured on American
machinery, and under patents granted to David N. Melvin,
the superintendent of the factory. In matching qualities
it is as perfect as can be claimed for any flexible goods.

Wild & Co., is unusual in its range of designs and colors,
and is larger than any yet produced by the concern.

THE FLOOR OIL CLOTH INDUSTRY IN MAINE.
REMINISCENCES OF TWO NOTED MANUFACTURERS.
' OME interesting' facts relating
to the early history of the
great floor oil cloth manu-
facturing establishments of
Alden Sampson & Sons and
C. M. Bailey, Sons & Co.
form the subject of an in-
teresting article in a recent
issue of the Boston Globe
as follows :
Facing the east, on the west side of Lake Cobbossee-
contee, in Kennebec County, is the quiet borough of East
Winthrop, for more than half a century known wherever
floor oil cloth was used as Baileyville. The place is beau-
tiful in summer, and desirable as a resort for those in quest
of a quiet retreat, for there is nothing more harsh than
the low hum of the oil cloth factory machinery, and the
occasional scream of a catbird, to disturb the nerves.
Were it not for the inventive brain of one of East Win.
throp's early habitants the village would hardly be known
across the lake, but early in the present century a member
of the numerous family of Maine Baileys evolved a scheme
to fill his purse faster than the slow process of nature was
likely to do it in growing crops.
Floor oil cloths were not known in the long ago when
Ezekiel Bailey pictured in his mind how they might be
made, and it was in the little hamlet of East Winthrop
that the conceit of their manufacture was hatched and
executed. Ezekiel Bailey was in the days prior to the war
of 1812 looked upon as a very likely boy. He was studious
and industrious, and while other boys of the village were
out in the white .oak groves, setting box traps for gray
squirrels and spearing pickerel by torchlight in the waters
of Cobbosseecontee, Ezekiel was busy in his little work-
shop fashioning useful things to be used about the house_
Just how, and when, and where he was prompted to
attempt the making of floor oil cloth nobody now living
at East Winthrop seems to know. Records of such things
were not considered of much account fifty years ago, and
when Ezekiel Bailey made his first attempt as a " carpet''
maker, the little grocery was vocal with much merriment.
Many of the burghers thought he was " a-wastin' of his
time." But they thought differently some years later,
when great factories for the manufacture of floor oil cloth
were erected in East Winthrop, Hallowell, New Jersey
and other places.
And Ezekiel ? He amassed a considerable fortune, and
left the path of life much easier for his kin to pursue.
But his very first attempt was not at oil cloth making.
Having met a peddler one day, he bought a table cover,
made of a combination of burlap and paint. Such things
were a luxury in fhe country at that time, and Ezekiel
Bailey was shrewd enough to foresee a big demand for
them if the cost could be moderated a bit. While thinking
an idea came to him, and following the idea a small voice
which whispered, " Make 'em yourself," he decided to try,
and there is a legend to the effect that half the farmers of
the village quit work to see the first table cover.
Procuring a square of burlap, or rather enough burlap
from which to fashion a square of the desired size, Ezekie
Bailey framed up the fabric as the good old grandmas
used to hitch up quilts at a quilting bee, the only differ-
ence being that the burlap was framed, or drawn, or
stretched over a table made of planed boards large enough
for the full spread of the burlap. With paint and brush
he began his work. The first coat was a filler, the next,
a thicker one, gave body to the cloth, and when this was
rubbed down to a smooth surface the last coat was pre-
pared. This was of a different color, and was spread on
thick. Then, with a straightedge, a piece of board with
a true, thin edge, reaching across the whole surface of
painted cloth, the finishing touches were put on. Com-
mencing at one end of the fabric, the straightedge was
moved back and forth, and straight along over the fresh
paint once or twice, and the whole thing left to dry.
The first table covers were great curiosities, and the
homes of the Baileys were visited by all the neighboring
housewives, who were anxious to see " how they worked."
Of course it was easy to keep them clean, and they saved
the woodwork of the tables, which was recommendation
enough. To see a cloth was to cover it, and it was not
long before Ezekiel Bailey had a considerable business.
Employing a boy to help him, he turned out table cloths
as fast as his limited facilities would permit, and as he
progressed new ideas for decorating took shape in his
mind. In less than a year he had men out on the road
selling them. It was while engaged in this work that he
thought out the idea of floor oil cloth, tracing out the fig-
ures he wished to stamp on blocks of wood. The scheme
was a sue jess, and from that time Ezekiel Bailey's fortune
was assured.
The turning out to perfection of floor oil cloth in those
days was a task that would make a person in these piping
times of labor saving machinery wish for something easier.
All the smoothing or rubbing down was done by hand.
Heavy, long bladed knives as big as the "Sword of Bun-
ker Hill " were used to scrape down the rough body coats
of paint, and a smooth surface, on which to stamp the
geometrical figures in colors, was fetched after long and
laborious polishing with heavy bricks of pumice stone.
Drummers employed by Mr. Bailey traveled to Massa-
chusetts, to New York and away down into the South, and
ere long the demand for oil cloth carpeting became so
general that other factories were built up and made to
clatter and clank with the new industry. There was
living not far from East Winthrop at this time a shrewd,
wide-awake Yankee farmer named Sampson, who had kept
his weather eye peeled on the progress of Ezekiel Bailey,
and when housewives everywhere began to yearn for the
new carpeting, taking a neighbor in as a partner, Mr.
Sampson built a factory, and in a very short time was in
a position to be considered a formidable rival of Mr.
Bailey.
Discerning good returns from a plant established close
to a big centre of consumption, Mr. Bailey entered into
a deal with New Jersey capitalists, and a big factory was
set agoing in that State. A trusted employee of the Bailey
concern in East Winthrop, Levi Richardson, who still lives
and is the proprietor of a modest little store in East Win-
throp, was sent to New Jersey to instruct the green hands
there in the art of the manufacture. While thus engaged Mr.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
Richardson's brain was busy with the problem of labor
saving, and one day a phantom device for smoothing and
rubbing down the first rough coats on the burlaps took
form in his mind, and for some weeks he spent his spare
time in experimenting. The result was the present
patent u.sed in most factories, whereby as much rubbing
down can be done in one day as could have been accom-
plished in four by the old hand method.
The original factory erected by Ezekiel Bailey was long
ago razed by fire. Another put up in the same place was
also burned. The present factory, conducted by his suc-
cessors, C. M. Bailey's Sons & Co., is well protected by de-
vices for extinguishing fire, audit is kept busy all the year
through. Charles M. Bailey, the son of Ezekiel Bailey,
ranks among the most prominent and successful business
men in Maine. The work done at East.Winthrop now is
all hand work, just the same as thirty or forty years ago,
the makers still adhering to the belief that printing done
by hand is much more durable than the machine made
work.
The Sampson factory, which stood within three miles of
the original Bailey factory, was also burned. This oc-
curred many years ago, but the accident did not disquiet
the original Sampson in the least. On the contrary, he
jumped into the hustle and bustle of the business world
on a much larger scale. He built factories in Hallowell,
on the Kennebec, and in New York, and when his sons
grew to manhood they merged into the business. The
Hallowell factory owned by the Sampsons, who long
since became citizens of New York, has been silent for
several years.
AUCTION SALES OF WOOL RESUMED.

E Wool Exchange an-
more prommence.
nounces another auction
sale of wool for Wednes-
day, January 5. This
will differ from the sales
held last fall in that it
is now the intention of
the officers of the Ex-
change to bring the ex-
c h a n ge feature into
It has been the intention of those in
charge to open the Exchange as such at the beginning of
the year. There seems to be still considerable doubt
among many members of the trade as to the practicability
of selling wool in this country at auction, and many have
thus far declined to join as trading members. Many of
these, however, desire to see the Exchange a success, and
express a willingness to join as soon as they are satisfied
that it will be such.
It is the intention of the Exchange to hold auction sales
regularly on the first Wednesday of every month, and
possibly oftener. Only members and their clients will be
permitted on the floor during the auctions. In addition,
there will be opportunity for private trading on every
week day.
Chicago,
December 24.
Manager Franklin Ames, of Marshall Field & Co.'s
wholesale carpet department, says it may be a matter of
some news to Eastern carpet men to learn
that Chicago jobbers are now holding Mo-
quettes at 65 cents. Mr. Ames thinks the
price will not go lower, but will hold at that figure on all
lines of goods. If Mr. Ames holds the price the other
jobbers will doubtless do the same. Unfortunately some
houses have become accustomed to selling goods without
asking Franklin's advice.
Manager Weber, of Mandel Brothers' carpet and rug de-
partments, has gone East.
William B. Redden, manager of Farwell's carpet depart-
ment, is now in Canada, where he went to attend the
funeral of his father.
Mr. Martin, carpet buyer for Daniels & Fisher, of
Denver, was in the city this week. He bought several
large bills of goods and then left for the East.
Many of the roadmen are in the city for the holidays.
All of Marshall Field & Co.'s men are in except Mr.
Tower, who travels on the Pacific Coast, and Mr. Shelley,
who has the Northwestern territory.
The city of Chicago, in order to test the validity of the
Anti-Department Store ordinance, passed by the Chicago
City Council last spring, has instituted suits against " The
Fair," Siegel, Cooper & Co., A. M. Rothschild & Co., and
the Boston Store.
In the midst of a great crowd of holiday shoppers at
A. M. Rothschild's department store to-day two men
walked up to the savings bank department, in the middle
aisle of the main floor, and set fire to a can of kerosene
which they had placed in the telephone box. It burst
into flames, which soon filled the rear part of the store
with smoke. The immense crowd of shoppers became
panic stricken and the danger of a stampede was
imminent. The ceiling is -lined with perforated pipes, by
which a whole floor can be inundated with water at a
moment's notice. Before this could be done, however,
water was broiight in buckets and the flames put out.
After this it was found that a deliberate attempt to fire
the place had been made, the idea probably being to rob
the savings bank during the panic. R. H. H.
At Sioux Falls, S. Dak., on the 33d ult., Judge Smith,
of the First Circuit Court, decided, in opposition to other
courts of South Dakota, that the law passed by the last Legis-
lature, known as the " Peddler's Law," is unconstitutional,
because it is in conflict with the Interstate Commerce Law.
A traveling salesman, employed by a Minneapolis house,
was arrested for violating the law, and was convicted in a
justice's court. A writ of habeas corpus was applied for,
and Judge Smith ordered his release. This law was in-
tended to compel traveling representatives of wholesale
houses to pay a license fee.

Boston Budget.
The employees in the carpet and upholstery depart-
ments at the store of Jordan, Marsh & Co., in common
with all other salesmen and saleswomen
belonging to this big dry goods establish-
ment, are to receive a generous Christmas
gift this year, the firm having agreed to present every
clerk with 1 per cent, on the gross amount of his or her
sales for the five days preceding Christmas, in addition, of
course, to regular salaries. This plan is an attractive
one, and in most cases will result in a good-sized Christ-
mas plum, and at the same time excite in the employees
a deeper interest in the business of the firm. The offer is
regarded as a peculiarly generous scheme of co-operation,
coming, as it does, in the week when the greatest oppor-
tunities of the year are offered to earn the bonus. It will
doubtless be a Merry Christmas for both employer and
employee.
J. R. Gilmore, of Lord & Taylor's, was among this
week's visitors to the " Hub."
M. J. Whittall, the well-known Worcester carpet manu-
facturer, has been in Boston this week.
J. & A. Ehrlich, carpet and furniture dealers, 1289 Tre-
mont street, have sold out to Frank Ferdinand.
The golf fever has invaded the ranks of the carpet men,
and among the expert players is Mr. I. W. Chick, of the
firm of John H. Pray, Sons & Co.
At W. W. Corson & Co's. they report business about
the same as at this time last year — very slight improve-
ment, if any: but they are looking for spring business to
pick up.
I met D. A. Tarbell in a Boston carpet store yesterday,
and he gave a good account of business on the road. Dave
was caught in a big fire in Providence recently, and his
samples were ruined by water. This caused him very
little delay, however, as he had a new set on hand within
two days.
George Nicol, who was formerly in charge of the print
room at the Roxbury Carpet Company's 'factory, died in
Plymouth, Mass., on the 11th inst., from heart disease, at
the age of sixty-six years. He was born in Halifax, Eng-
land, and came to this country forty years ago. Foralong
time Mr. Nicol had been wool buyer for the Franklin
Woolen Company, of Franklin, N. H., now the Plymouth
Woolen Company. He left a widow and four children.
R. H. White & Co. have secured the contract for recar-
peting the steamer City of Worcester with Sanford

The size of the show window of Mullen & Dempsey's
carpet and ftirniture store, Woonsocket, R. I., is no indi-
cation of the stock it contains. Counting from the base-
ment up, there are six floors, and each floor is filled with
an immense stock of everything in the line of housefur-
nishings. This annex of the old Main street Harris mill
is turned to good account when it is tised as the home of
such progressive merchants as the above firm, composed
of James Mullen and Daniel Dempsey. The basement is
reserved entirely for crockery. The street floor is a sales-
room containing an assortment of samples of about all the
goods that are sold in the store. On the second floor are
the carpet room and upholstery and pictures. The third
floor is crowded with parlor and sitting room furniture,
hall trees, &c. The fourth floor contains all the larger
articles of furniture. The fifth floor is used as stock room
and carpet sewing room and for storage. From the
fourth floor a rear entrance opens on to Fountain street,
which is used by the delivery wagons.
The Weeks Furniture Company, Woonsocket, R. I., is
a vast establishment. It has outgrown its confines and
now spreads out its branches like a growing oak. Besides
the building at 48 North Main street, which was originally
built to contain the entire business, there is a large store
opposite in Gilbert's Building, that is used solely for the
display and sale of wall paper; another store in Miller's
Building, at 34 North Main street, where lounges and
desks are stored ; the vacant' store in the Opera House
Block, used as a storeroom, and three or four buildings in
the rear of the main store, also used as storerooms. In
the latter, also, is the stable of the concern, where nearly
a score af horses and wagons, used in the delivery of the
goods to Woonsocket and neighboring towns and villages,
are housed. In the basement of the company's building
is the stock of crockery, glassware and art goods. On the
first floor the office is to the left and salesmen's desks
just within the entrance. The upholstery department is
on the right of the store. In the centre of the floor are
placed a few rockers, tabourets and ladies' desks. In

know how much stock we have on hand. An inventory is
being taken, and as soon as that is completed the store will

be opened and business restimed." The firm last summer

be without a building in which to conduct his business
after that date.
Fire was discovered in the rear of Matthew Donovan's
carpet and furniture store, 46 Market street, Paterson,
N. J., on December 16. The fire originated in a pile of
rubbish, and assumed the appearance of a big blaze before

work squelched the blaze. The damage to the stock and
building amounted to $300, which was covered by insur-
ance.
Jonas Long's Sons opened their new department store,
in Scranton, Pa., last month. The store has a floor space
of about 5 acres, and is supplied with all the improve-
ment ususlly found in business buildings of the first class'
The firm of Jonas Long's Sons, comprising six brothers,
is composed as follows : Charles J., Bernard, Louis,
Arthur, Edward and Harry. They are well known in
the trade as proprietors of a large and prosperous store at

for a number of years.

age is estimated at $1,500; fully insured.
Emanuel M. Leon, proprietor of the Star Furniture
House at Columbus, Ohio, has assigned to Daniel S. Am-
bach. The assignment was precipitated by the Merchants'
and Manufacturers' Bank, which took possession to secure a
chattel mortgage for $2,891.84. The following chattel
mortgages also were filed: Leopold Leon, $3,462.94;
Morris Meyer, $2,200; Carrie L. Weill, $2,199; S. L. Hy-
neman, $937.51; D. C. Beggs & Co., $512.01; Press-Post
Printing Company, $750.37; W. D. Brickells, $270, mak-
ing $13,226.67 of secured claims. A recent disastrous fire
and a poor paying instalment bu.siness caused the failure.
The value of the stock on hand has been placed by ap-
praisers at $11,600. Mr. Leon is the successor of Leon
Brothers & Co. Up to 1896 the firm was located in the
Buckeye Block on North High street, but last year the
stock was removed to its present location. The building
was entirely remodeled for the new firm, but a short time
after they opened for business the place was visited by a
fire, and a big loss was the result. Last spring Mr. Leon
bought out the interest of his brother Leopold, and since
then has been operating the store in his own name.

THE TORREY BILL AND ITS ADVOCATES.
THE New York Credit Men's Association is strongly in
favor of the passage of the Torrey bankruptcy bill,
and is sending to business men throughout the country a
circular as follows :
" We believe that if the Torrey bankruptcy bill, which has been
pending for several years in Congress, ever becomes law, it will be
because the sentiment of the business community in its favor is un-
mistakably made known to our representatives at Washington. We
therefore ask you, whether you are or are not a member of our asso-
ciation, to write a letter to the Congressman of your district on your
business letter head, urging him to do all in his power to forward and
pass the bill. We should like to have the letter prepared beforehand
and mailed on January 7, 1898, believing that the simultaneous ex-
pression of the needs of the merchants and manufacturers of the
country will have a great effect.
" In order to make the appeal as potent as possible it would be very
desirable if you could influence your customers by communicating
with them, wherever situated, to mail a similar letter on the same
day also to their respective representatives at Washington."
Lord & Taylor, in their cut order department, are now
showing to the trade their spring lines of samples in
Wiltons, Body Brussels and Velvets. Particular attention
is called to the fact that they have added the Sanford
Velvets in both qualities. The large business done by
Lord & Taylor, and the excellent taste and judgment
shown in selecting the stock, offer an opporttmity for the
retailer to make a selection of samples that will certainly
assure success for that branch of their business. Full
particulars may be obtained as to the cut order system by
addressing the firm at Broadway and Twentieth street.

FOREIGN NOTES.
The exports of carpets and rugs from the consular dis-
trict of Bradford, England, during the month of Novem-
ber, 1897, amounted in value to /"1,0-tT, as against _£'^9S
during the same month of 1896.
During the eleven months ending November 30, 1897,
the imports of carpets from England to the United States,
as compiled by the British Board of Trade, were 247,600
yards, against 438,700 yards in 1896 and 593,600 in 1895.
Exports of carpets from Great Britain during the
month of November, according to the British Board of
Trade returns, amounted to 556,110 yards, valued at
^55,923. For the eleven months ending November 30
the exports of carpets amounted to 6,663,700 yards,
valued at ^700,045.
The Worcester Cross Carpet Works at Kidderminster
were oiTered for sale recently by auction at the Lion Hotel,
Kidderminster. It was stated that the property was
offered by instructions from the trustee for the debenture
holders of the Worcester Cross Carpet Company. There
was a bid of ^1,000, and there being no further offers
the property was withdrawn.
The carpet trade reporter of London Furniture and
Decoration in the course of some recent comments on the
English carpet trade says: " There is a decided impression
in some towns that before many seasons are over the best
class of furnishers and carpet buyers will return to the
fashion of covering the entire apartment with carpet, in
place of the now accommodating square. When I say
that my informant is looked upon as one of the best judges
in the trade, and buys for the best house in Bath, his
opinion must be regarded as encouraging to those in-
terested in the production of body goods. That a few
extra bodies are selling and being inquired for this season
I am pleased to report, yet manufacturers and others who
deal in carpets find the squares going as well as ever. I
believe some makers of Tapestry and Brussels Squares
have all through the season been overdone with orders.
On the other hand, those employed on imbordered lines
have had to slow down, and in some cases the looms
have run 'half time.' Woolen Squares are iaivly in de-
mand. A special line in Romans, embracing all the art
shades, will no doubt be one of the pet lines of the season,
now that these can be had at a reasonable price."
A NOTABLE ENGLISH CARPET.
n^HE Kidderminster (England) Shuttle of the 11th ult.
said: " To-day a large and handsome patent chenille
seamless Axminster carpet is being shipped for Lima,
South America. It has been manufactured at the Park
Wharf Works of R. Smith & Sons, to the order of the
Carpet Manufacturing Company, Kidderminster, of which
the Messrs. Smith form a pajt. The carpet has been
specially made for the Post Office of Lima, and it is evi-
dent that the South Americans have very luxurious tastes
in demanding such a splendid product of the carpet loom
for their postal buildings. The carpet measures 32 feet 6
inches by 23 feet 4 inches, and the pile is nearly one inch
in thickness. It has been woven in one piece on a 26 foot
hand loom, and has occupied four men several weeks to
weave. It is of the finest quality, and the body of the
carpet is plain pearl gray. The medallion is an exceeding-
ly striking feature both in style and harmony of color. In
the centre is a representation of the globe in rich tints,
and through this passes a finely executed anchor, while en-
riching the whole are the words in bold character, ' Correo
Telegrafo. ' The carpet is made without a fixed border,
bnt a handsome wide scroll border on ecru ground, Louis
XVI. design, has been made on a thin linen back, which
will be placed on the top of the carpet on state occasions,
but is not attached. The colors of the border are made to
harmonize with the medallion."
A COMPARISON
BETWEEN "the NSW CHEAP AXMINSTERS AND THE DEAR OLD BRUSSELS."
OF the making of carpets there is apparently no end.
Each succeeding year brings its long list of new
qualities with high sounding titles borrowed from the
kings and princes of the earth; and the perplexed and
hesitating purchaser knows not where he is. With the new
woman has come the new Axminster, and both, we may
take it, have come to stay. The old-fashioned girl, how-
ever, has still admirers, and that old favorite in carpets
known as Brussels is not yet to be swept off the face of the
earth. Indeed, of the two fabrics in question, the new
Axminster is the more likely to be first swept off the face
of the earth, for the reason that its handsome surface is
composed of soft woollen yarns that readily fluff away;
whereas the clean and wirey Brussels loop is formed of
well twisted worsteds. But we must be just, and point
out that the older fabric also has its own peculiar weak-
ness. The worsted loops, which are the special feature of
Brussels, may accidentally be caught, and the yarn pLilled
up by some fiendish brLish or innocent brute, and, hey
presto ! in ten minutes your promising and stylish carpet
has gone wrong, and turned into tag-rag and bob-tail.
In well-regulated households this need not happen, and
as a matter of fact it seldom does; but it needs a salesman
of much tact and experience to undertake the regulation
of other people's hoLiseholds. Which carpet then, says
the perplexed one, do you advise us to buy ? We answer,
buy them both. Buy the new Axminster, if you like a
wealth of color and softness on your floors; buy the old
Brussels for rooms where you hold that cleanliness must
come before gorgeousness. Buy this handsome Ax-
minster if you can afford to replace it in a few years; but
buy the plainer, though still good looking Brusssls if
you are compelled to count the cost; buy the best of its
kind, and you may confidently rely upon its preserving
its appearance longer, and achieving the more respectable
old age. — An Old Hand, in Kidderminster Shuttle.
Reune Martin & Sons will soon issue a particularly
handsome booklet, containing illustrations in colors of the
patterns in the Hartford Carpet Company's new line of
Saxony carpets. The illustrations are exact reproductions
of the original patterns, and may be regarded as remark-
ably fine examples of the best effects yet attained in the
new process of color photography. With the aid of one of
these booklets a dealer will be enabled to take orders for
this handsome line of Saxony carpets, without being
obliged to carry the goods themselves in stock.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
THE H. B. CLAFLIN COMPANY'S OFFERINGS.
EVER before has the H. B.
Clafiin Company's carpet de-
partment offered so large and
varied Hoes for the inspection
of the trade as this spring.
The mere enumeration would
fill a page, but among the
principal features of the stock
may be mentioned the follow-
ing:
The house have for years
been sole agents for the pro-
duction of Nye & Wait, in-
cluding Gold Medal Extra
Supers, Gold Medal C. C.'s,
Auburn 12 pair Supers, Au-
burn C. C.'s and Fairmount
Extra Supers and C. C.'s.
They are also sole agents for
John Boggs' 9 and 10 pair Cottons and quarter and half
wool Unions.
Full lines of Agras, three ply Ingrains, halls and stairs;
Venetians, hemp, cocoa and Napier mattings will always
be found on the floor.
In 3-4 goods they are sole selling agents for the Firth
goods in the well-known brands, Montana, High Rock and
Storm King. They are selling agents for Stinson Broth-
ers' Tapestries and Velvets, Rifton Velvets and Beattie's
Velvets.
Lowell Brussels and Wiltons, Middlesex Axminsters and
best Axminsters, Hartford Wiltons, Brussels and Axmin-
sters have full representation in the stock.
In the rug department there are long lines of Orientals,
Imperial Smyrnas, Highland Smyrnas, together with an
endless variety of all grades pertaining to a complete rug
stock.
The house has a very large quantity of Japan and China
mattings, landed less duty. These goods are being dis-
posed of at old prices. They handle Alden Sampson &
Sons' oil cloths, and linoleums both of English make and
the popular production of the American Linoleum Com-
pany.
In fact, there is in the department everything that goes
to make up the stock of a carpet house, no matter how
large or small may be the extent and character of the
business.
A
What is said to be the most expensive carpet in the
world is now on the shelves of the Gobelins factory. It
is worth ;^10,000and was made during the years 1869 and
1870, by order of Napoleon III., but was unfinished when
the Franco- Prussian war broke out. — Ex.
The Meyer carpet thread has gained many new friends
during the past year, and Mr. John C. Meyer expects to
increase its use among the carpet trade more largely during
1898 than in any year since it was introduced. If you
have not tried it send to John C. Meyer & Co., 87 Sum-
mer street, Boston, for samples and prices.

■■i OBITUARY NOTES. BHI
The mercantile agencies announce the demise of Asa K.
Potter, of Potter & Co., Providence, R. I.; Samuel
Cooper, of Cooper & Haines, Capon Bridge, W. Va.
Edward Bare, senior member and founder of the firm
of Bare Brothers, San Francisco, Cal., died November 29,
of pneumonia. Mr. Bare was born in Prussia in 1851.
When fourteen years of age he came to the United States,
and after remaining about three years in New York went
to San Francisco and started in business there on his own
account. In 1875 hewas joined by his brother Solomon,
and the firm style was changed to the present one of Bare
Brothers.
George J. Fritsch, aged thirty-eight years, president of
the stove and carpet company, St. Louis, bearing his
name, committed suicide. He was found hanging in the
elevator shaft in his store at noon by the porter. The body
was cut down, and an examination showed that the neck
had been broken. Fritsch is said to have been intoxicated
at the time of the act. He was one of the most prominent
of South Broadway merchants. It is said that the suicide
was prompted by financial difficulties.
McCLEARY, WALLIN & CROUSE.
W& J. Sloane, as selling agents for McCleary, Wallin
. & Grouse, show that firm's extensive line of
Smyrna rugs in three grades, viz., the Imperial, Mohawk
and Amsterdam, comprising altogether 120 designs,
which represent the finest effects possible in Smyrna
manufacture. The three grades offered are designed to
cover the demands of every class of trade. The Amster-
dams are a strong line of popular patterns; the Mohawks
represent high class standard styles, and the Imperials are
a superior line of fine artistic effects, well calculated to
satisfy the most exacting buyer.
Thojmas J. Breslin. of the Fries-Breslin Company, has
just returned from a specially successful Western trip,
where he opened many new accounts for his company's
very handsome line of rugs and carpets. He will be at
the New York office of the company in the Hartford
Building for some few weeks to come.
Shewan, To.mes & Co., in their circular dated Canton,
November 25, say: " Several new orders have been received
since our last advices, and the market is strong. No fresh
settlements are reported, as only April-May delivery can
be obtained, and dealers not wishing to run any risk are
quoting high prices. An all round increase in prices is
maintained and a further rise may be expected. Contracts
remain at 220,000 rolls."
The Carpet and , Upholstery Trade Review.
T~HE total expenditures of the Merchants' Association of
New York for advertising purposes between June 1
and November 1 was about $35,000, of which over $11,000
was expended for postage. The press, both daily and
special, have stood by the association shoulder to shoulder.
The energies of Mr, De Berard are now bent on an am-
bitious book which is to be given to the world in the
spring. It is to be entitled "New York: Picturesque,
Spectacular, Artistic." It is stated that this is not to be
a guide book nor an advertising scheme — in fact, that no
paid advertising is to be given place. Among its prom-
inent features are to be profuse illustration and descrip-
tion. It is intended to publish a first edition of 150,000,
and they are not to be sold, but given away as the associa-
tion shall determine. The best artists and litterateurs are
already engaged in the preparation of the volume.
I C. Brown contributes to the cooking department of a
Philadelphia paper two ways to use Brussels sprouts.
If Mr. Brown has really found out a scheme whereby
' ' Brussels sprouts " can be utilized in any good purpose
he is certainly entitled to the lasting gratitude of every
retail carpet man in the country. Brussels sprouts were
always a great source of annoyance.
Come member of the firm of Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co.
gets this first-class notice from the London Ware-
houseman and Draper of December 11 :
Our American friends are frequently accused of going out of tlieir
way to disparage anything and everything of British origin. No
doubt an air of superiority is affected by a certain class of Americans ;
but happily there are others who, as the result of frequent visits to
this country, can appreciate things British, provided the quality is
good. For instance, during the past week a letter was received from
a member of the firm of Messrs. Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co. , whole-
sale dry goods warehousemen, of Chicago, expressing admiration of
British beefsteak and kidney puddings, as served at a well-kuuv, n
hostelry in Fleet street, and asking as a favor that two such dishes
may be forwarded by fast express, in order that he may give some
of his Chicago colleagues a treat during the Christmas holiday.
As it is a Chicago River salmon to a native oyster that
both the beefsteak and kidneys came from the Cook County
stockyards, this indeed is carrying coals to Newcastle.
It may be well for our readers to bear in mind that some
important amendments to the patent laws go into effect
to-day. Among new provisions are the following:
1. A patent cannot be obtained for any invention which
has been patented or described in any printed publication
in this or any other country more than two years prior to
the application.
2. No patent shall be refused, nor shall any patent be
declared invalid by reason of its first having been patented
in a foreign country, unless the said application was filed
more than seven months prior to the application in this
country.
3. The application must be completed and prepared for
examination within one year after the filing of said appli-
cation, or it shall be regarded as abandoned.
4. An interference will not be declared between an
original application and a patent issued more than two
years prior to the date of filing the said application.
C OMEONE once remarked that the City Record was the dull-
est daily paper in New York, but he had to acknowl-
edge that to a large number of people it was an absolute
necessity. There are several publications in this city that
are absolutely indispensable in their field, and the Rem-
nant Supplement is one of them. " Since I lost my eye-
sight," wrote a subscriber of The Review years ago, "I
wouldn't give a cent for The Review or any darned old
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
paper; but my boys tell me they can't do business without
the Remnant Supplement. So keep along sending it."
And just here let us remind our readers that the rapidity
with which something like 400 columns of solid figures
must be put in type compels us to print the list of rem-
nants as they come to us, and the rule of first come first
served is absolute. This year the New Haven Window
Shade Company are first in the line. With their list they
send this note:
We send you to-day, under separate cover, our list of remnants
for publication in the next issue of the Remnant Supplement. We
believe in being on time and having our list as near the " head of
the line as possible," believing that in this case the old maxim of the
early bird and the worm is reversed, i. <?., the list nearest the front
is scanned the most. We have found the remnant list a great help
in disposing of our remnants.
W^HKN a carpet man goes into politics it does not take him
long to get the hang of the business. Some months
ago we announced the appointment of Silas C. Croft as Sur-
veyor of the Port of New York. A few days later Private
Secretary Joseph T. Kieley received a very polite note
from Surveyor Croft informing him that his services
would not be required any longer, and that his salary
would be discontinued immediately.
" Great Scott! " exclaimed the private secretary, who is
a very important man in Brooklyn politics. "They can't
drop me this way. They must prefer charges. That's
the Civil Service law," and he dashed into Surveyor
Croft's office.
" Oh, you're not dropped," said Surveyor Croft.
"Your place — that is, the position of private secretary —
is abolished."
" Then I am abolished too, eh ? " asked Mr. Kieley.
"Well, you see, if you were discharged it would be a
violation of the Civil Service law, but there is nothing in
the law which prevents the abolition of the office. Do
you see the point ? "
Mr. Kieley did see the point, and retired gracefully.
" W/"^^ ^^ '^^"^^s *^° the question of the tariff," said an
W assistant appraiser to a Sun reporter, " it is very
often a case ' of anything to do the Government.' Now,
take the oil cloth business. A standard size for oil cloth
before the passage of the McKinley bill was 12 feet in
width. vSection 337 of the Dingley bill fixes the duty for
oil cloth ' under 12 feet in width ' at 8 cents a yard and 15
per cent, ad valorem, and for oil cloth 12 feet and over in
width at 20 cents a yard and 20 per cent, ad valorem.
Well, the importation of oil cloth under the new bill has be-
gun, and the first consignment is made up of oil cloth 11
feet 11^ inches in width. A half inch has simply been
dropped from the standard. In 999 cases out of 1,000 oil
cloth 11 feet 11^ inches wide is just as good as the oil cloth
12 feet wide. The Government of course is bound to lose
a lot of revenue.
" There is absolutely no legal reason, however, why the
manufacturers should not take half an inch off a standard
width if they can save 12 cents on every yard and 5 per
cent, on the value additional. It is possible that some of
them may overreach themselves, for very often goods
stretch after they are made, and the margin to 12 feet is so
small that the slightest stretching would make the goods
subject to the higher duty. All that we can do is to watch
the goods that comes in and measure them carefully.
Where we find they have stretched we will, of course,
impose the higher duty.
" This case is not exactly the same as the carbon case,
but it recalls that case. Section 98 of the tariff law puts
a duty on ' carbons for electric lighting ' of 90 cents a hun-
dred. Before the passage of the Dingley law the standard
length for carbons for electric lighting was 10 inches.
The importers and the manufacturers of carbon saw the
possibilities in the carbon schedule, and carbon grew in-
stantly from 10 inches in length to 40 inches. It looked
for a time as if the Government would have to take the
loss; but Appraiser Wakeman decided that the growth of
carbons was surely an evasion of the law, and that a car-
bon 40 inches long was impracticable for electric lighting;
that the intention of the importer was to cut or break
them up into four carbons, and so he assessed each 40
inch carbon as four carbons. The Treasury Department
sustained the ruling. But with the oil cloth it is different.
The law is distinct, and the manufacturers are entitled to
every inch of benefit."
" \A/ell, well, well," as the old judge says at the New
York baseball grounds, " what a little world it is
after all." If a man sneezes in South Africa a manufac-
turer takes out his handkerchief in the United States. Here
is the Kidderminster Shuttle of December 18 saying:
Many manufacturers are just now being pressed with special
orders for Christmas. Indeed, the trade is becoming more and
more "special" in this respect. Only this week we heard the
representative of a well-known local firm calling upon a large
upholstering firm in the North for orders. The reply was both
complimentary and disappointing. "No, sir; we will not give
you a general order for goods to stock. The fact is your
firm execute special orders so e.Kpeditiously and well that it is
quite unnecessary for us to keep heavy stocks," and the traveler
came away with an order for a couple of " specials." Manufacturers
are therefore required to pay the penalty for their anxiety to meet
the varied requirements of their customers.
It's the old Story of two pieces of body and one of
border.
''There is a heap of difference," said a commercial
agency man to a contributor to. a New York paper,
" between the credit system now and the system of only a
few years ago. When I started in business it was the
fashion for the out of town merchant to come to the mar-
ket to make his purchases. He visited the merchant he
wanted to buy goods of, and whether he knew him or not,
the merchant in five minutes had made up his mind
whether he wanted to sell goods to him or not, and just
the amount and just the length of credit he wanted to give.
In very few cases was there any investigation of a
man's record. The merchant simply sized his man up and
then acted on his judgment. The system wasn't bad,
either, for those days, for it was seldom that a merchant
who had had experience in dealing with men made a mis-
take. You could tell then what a man was after a five
minute talk.
"But to-day, good heavens! you talk to a man five
minutes and you probably know less about him than you did
before you saw him. I mean, of course, in the matter of
business standing. The merchant who tried to do busi-
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
ness on that plan to-day would be bankrupt in a month if
he was worth millions to start with. The man who comes
in looking for credit to-day gets just as good a reception as
he did in the old days; but after he has given his order
and goes away, his record is gone over with a fine tooth
comb before he gets a cent's worth of credit. I don't
know whether human nature has changed so that it is im-
possible to tell whether a man is honest now and will keep
his word or not, but certain it is that you can't size a man
up to-day by talking with him as you used to be able to
size him up. More trouble is taken to-day to find out the
trustworthiness of a man who wants $100 worth of credit
than was taken twenty years ago to look up the trust-
worthiness of a man who wanted $30,000 worth of credit."
THE story elsewhere printed as to the sale of the Fifth
Avenue Hotel to Wanamaker may or may not be
true. It is worth repeating all the same, on the ben
trovato principle. If it isn't true it ought to be, and prob-
ably soon will be. For sooner or later the story of the
St. Nicholas, the Metropolitan and other famous hostelries
will be repeated. Twenty-third street hash will have to
yield to Thirty-fourth street croquettes, and the Fifth
Avenue Hotel will become the uptown Astor House. If
John Wanamaker has not bought the place there are many
other merchants in New York who have brains enough to
see the advantages of the location, and the buildings which
now cover the Metropolitan plant will be cowsheds along-
side the great bazaar which will rise on the ruins of Mr.
Piatt's Sunday School House. Amos R. Eno, we believe,
is the owner of the great property, and probably has a
keen appreciation of its value. And yet it would not cost
any responsible merchant a large outlay of capital to buy
it, as every insurance or trust company in America would
be glad to loan nearly its cost price with the certainty that
it could never be reduced in value.
Of course it is not necessary to say that it would make
the ideal retail store of the world.
W. & J. SLOAN E.
W& J. Sloane have every reason to be satisfied with
. the impression made in the trade by their offerings
for the spring season. The new lines of the Alexander
Smith & Sons Carpet Company are the strongest ever
produced in these famous mills, as regards extent, vari-
ety and attractiveness. The lines include Savonneries,
Axminsters. Gobelins, Moquettes, Velvets and Tapestries
in an immense range of new and choice effects. Both
light and dark colorings are well represented in the pat-
terns, and the assortment of dark colorings is particularly
notable. In Ingrains, the offerings include the full line of
Masland& Sons, for whom W. & J. Sloane are sole selling
agents. The assortment of patterns is exceptionally exten-
sive in every grade of these noted goods, and the lines of
Savon Art Carpets and Fernbrook Art Squares are
particularly attractive.
In rugs W. & J. Sloane show a large line of Smith
Axminsters, Imperials and Moquettes, and McCleary,
Wallin & Crouse's line of Smyrnas, for which ' they are
sole agents.
Their offerings in straw mattings include a great vari-
ety of grades and styles of their own importation. In
linoleum they show the complete line of the Nairn Lin-
oleum Company, for whom they are sole agents, and these
offerings include also a large line of inlaid linoleum. In
floor oil cloths they show, as selling agents for R. H. &
B. C. Reeve, the complete lines of that firm's popular
goods, and in cocoa mattings and mats they show an
especially large assortment from their own factories, as
they are extensive manufacturers of these goods.
HARTFORD CARPET COMPANY'S NEW SALESROOMS.
THE New York salesrooms of the Hartford Carpet Com-
pany are now in the Hartford Building, Broadway
and Seventeenth street, where handsome and spacious
quarters have been secured, as announced in The Review
of the 15th ult. In their new location, Reune Martin &
Sons will have the best possible facilities for showing the
Hartford lines, the salesrooms having a fine north light,
and being otherwise perfectly adapted for the showing of
goods.
The new lines of the Hartford Company well deserve a
handsome setting, for they are the finest as well as the
most extensive ever brought out by the company, every
grade shown being replete with novel, original and artistic
patterns, for the company, having good reason for expect-
ing a great volume of orders for the spring trade, made
special preparations accordingly, and the result is a most
admirable range of designs and colorings in all the grades
produced in its mills. No buyer should fail to call early
at the new salesrooms of Reune Martin & Sons.
" Forbidden Fruit " is the text of W. T. Smith & Son's
new advertisement in this issue, and the moral of the short
address is of great interest to buyers. Don't fail to
read it.
S. C. WiLBER, selling representative for Darragh &
Small, the cocoa mat and matting manufacturers, will
make his usual Western trip this month, starting out
shortly.
J. M. Cooney, of The Review staff, who was confined
to his house by an attack of typhoid fever for six weeks,
has recovered, and will be among the trade as usual
this month.
The advertiser who signs his name "Progressive" in
our Special Notice column is one of the best equipped men
in the carpet trade. Merchants in need of a head for a
carpet department need seek no further.
Charles S. Holmes, of the firm of R. C. Haskell & Co.,
the old established oil cloth manufacturers, of Lansing-
burg, N. Y., was in town during the holiday week, and
paid a pleasant call at The Review office, where he is al-
ways a welcome guest.
The fall, including the holiday, trade of Hunter & Whit-
comb has surpassed that of all previous seasons. Their
sales of Alex. Morton & Sons' Axminster whole carpets
and rugs have been very large, and their orders for the
year just beginning show an appreciation of the goods by
the best buyers that must be gratifying both to the makers
and the agents.

pins N and F' carried by said rod, all adapted to be operated
substantially as shown and described.
No. 596,431. Carpet Cleaner.— William M. Coonradt, Atlanta, Ga.
Filed December 22, 1896. Issued December 28, 1897.
It only needs a glance at the advertisement of Arnold,
Constable & Co.'s rug department, on page % of the cover,
to convince an average dealer that a trip to New York will
be time and money wasted without a visit to their carpet
floor. Things that can bought there can be bought no-
where else, and the absence of competition gives a mer-
chant a chance to make a profit which he would lose if
every cheap Jack had in his window the same articles
bearing a bargain counter ticket.
THE REEVE PATTERN BOOK.
HE linoleum pattern book of the R. H. & B. C. Reeve
Company is something every dealer ought to have
on hand. It shows thirty-six handsome patterns of
linoleum in the exact colors of the cloth, neatly bound and
of convenient size. You can get one for the asking.
T
POPULAR WILTONS AND BRUSSELS.
THE excellent record made by the "Worcester Carpet
Company during the past year in the exceptionally
steady running of their plant is a good indication of the
selling qualities of their Wiltons and Brussels. In fact,
the popularity of the Worcester goods has very largely
increased during the past few years through the up-to-date
methods of Wm. Jas. Hogg & Son and their agents,
coupled with the especially attractive designs and color-
ings. The showing made in the spring styles is of a
character to interest every buyer of Wiltons and Brttssels,
and with a freer distribution of money during 1898 we
believe the public will consume more Wiltons and Brussels
than heretofore, and we would advise every retailer to cul-
tivate a trade in these fabrics. Visiting buyers can see
this handsome line at the salesroom of T. J. Keveney &
Co., 898 and 900 Broadway, New York.
" May I print a kiss on your cheek ? " I asked.
She nodded her sweet permission.
So we went to press, and I rather guess
I printed a large edition. — Ex.
A NEW rug fastener has been invented and patented by
J. L. Kingston, Boston, Mass., the patentee of the Kings-
ton invisible rug fastener, which has been on the market
for a few years past. We understand that a company has
been formed to manufacture and distribute this new
fastener, and the retail carpet trade will be actively can-
vassed to demonstrate the advisability of handling this
very useful device.
The New" York Credit Men's Association has sent to
many of the business men of the city a circular letter
asking them to lend their influence in getting Congress to
pass the Torrey bankruptcy bill. The circular asks that
those to whom it is addressed write to the Congressmen of
their districts asking their aid. It is proposed that all of
the letters be mailed on January 7, 1898, so that the
simultaneous expression from the merchants and manu-
facturers of the city shall have a greater effect.
F. B. Bru Baker & Co., as sole selling agents for Thos.
Caves & Sons' three-shoot Velvet carpets, have the complete
line now on view at their New York salesroom, 706 Hart-
ford Building, and it is one which should be seen by every
buyer. The Messrs. Caves are experienced and success-
ful manufacturers, and in this new line of Velvets they
have shown their ability to meet completely every demand
of the trade. Everyone who has seen the line speaks of it
in the highest terms. Mr. Bru Baker is now making a.
Western trip and booking very satisfactory orders. Mr.
Whittaker is receiving the trade at the New York sales-
room.

Iln tbc Tripbolster\> flDarf^et.
jsiNESs in the wholesale upholstery
departments has been practically
at a standstill during the
fortnight, straggling orders for
holiday specialties constitut-
ing the entire volume of the
trade. No floor business
has been done except such as
was tran-cacted with city and
near-by dealers. The travel-
ers are all on the road, but
have not yet had an oppor-
tunity to give any indication of
what the next season will
bring forth.
So far as lace curtains are
concerned it is safe to say that
never before in the history of
the trade have so many en-
tirely new departures been
made, and buyers will be surprised at some of the new
effects. The effort to reproduce in lower grade goods the
effect of the costlier article has probably this season reached
its limit, and the imitations— it is hardly fair to call some
of them imitations— of Renaissance are, leaving out the
consideration of the difference between cotton and Hnen—
something remarkable.
And yet, despite the evident efforts the foreign manu-
facturers have made, we cannot find either among the large
importing houses or in the custom house figures any evi-
dence that the incoming purchases have been up to the
average of good years.
Judging from the samples it cannot be said that either
the French, German or English manufacturers of heavy
upholstery goods have at all kept pace with the French or
Swiss makers of lace curtains. There are few novelties
either in fabric or design that will arouse more than
passing comment.
The holiday trade in New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and Chicago has been very fair in spite of the senseless
competition of some department stores.
Domestic makers of lace curtains are well employed.
The leading manufacturers of high priced draperies are
showing up very strongly against foreign competition,
both in fabric, style and coloring.

\ MERiCAN women, who have learned a great deal concern-
ing interior arrangement and decoration within a few
years, are much interested in the pictures of the various
living rooms in Hawarden Castle recently published in a
magazine article. A glimpse at the drawing room, whose
carpet of immense figures even a photograph shows to
disadvantage, the jars of calla lilies, and the tablespread,
of gorgeous pattern, betray the fact that there is no artistic
spirit of the times in the Gladstone household. When
such undesirable and conflicting backgrounds as this table
and floor covering are provided for what is really worth
showing off the result is like a direct blow to the tasteful,
as is also the intermingling of the unattractive in furniture
and bric-a-brac with exquisite fine bits. No one was at all
surprised when the average English peer showed no artis-
tic taste in his home, but since decoration has everywhere
received so much more consideration Gladstone's bedroom,
with its clover leaf fringed- topped table and its fuzzy walls,
is really becoming quite unusual among the refined and
prosperous. The best upholsterers and cabinet makers
are now such artists that even the most ignorant house-
holder need not at least have a home that is artistically
incorrect, if he will listen to advice.
\ WOMAN living in Birmingham, England, recently wrote
to the mayor of Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada, and
addressed the envelope as follows: The Lord Mayor of
Ontario, Owen Sound, Canada, U. S. A. Our esteemed
contemporary, the Canadian Dry Goods Review, waxes
highly indignant over the Englishwoman's mistake, and
reads her a severe lecture regarding the astonishing ignor-
ance she displayed in imagining that Ontario was in the
United States. But on this side of the border the blunder
seems both natural and trivial, to say nothing of the fact
that the letter writer may have simply intended to anti-
cipate the manifest destiny of the small fringe of popula-
tion just north of the United States.

ways been identified with the
housefurnishing and decora-
tive business, and has been a
familiar name to the Chest-
nut street trade. The original
firm name was Kelty, Carring-
ton & Co. , and it first started
at 723 Chestnut street, in 1858.
The stock carried at that time
comprised furniture and up-
holstery goods, draperies, &c. They remained in that
locality until 18(58, gradually increasing their trade, and
going more and more into the higher grades of furniture,
when they removed to the southeast corner of Thirteenth
and Chestnut streets. At this location and in the year
mentioned Mr. De Zouche bought out the old firm of
Kelty, Carrington & Co., and continued the business under
the new firm title of Carrington, De Zouche & Co. Sub-
sequently that firm was dissolved by the death of Mr. Car-
rington, the firm then becoming John J De Zouche & Co.
Some nine years ago Mr. De Zouche admitted into partner-
ship with himself three of his salesmen, F. M. Campbell,
George Walker and George Duncan, under the title of the
John J. De Zouche Company, Limited, which now is dis-
solved by the retirement of the founder of the house.
The retiring firm, under all its various names and ad-
ministrations, has always occupied a conspicuous position in
the trade as connected with household furnishing and dec-
orating, and the house may be considered as having been
the home of art and elegance, more especially after its re-
moval to 1517 Chestnut street.
Mr. De Zouche retires with a competency. He may be
found hereafter at his office, 1606 Chestnut street.
Gimbel Brothers have bought the company's entire stock
and will remove it to their store at Ninth and Market
streets.

F. M. Van Blaricom shows at his salesroom, 415 Broad-
way, a big assortment of new and desirable styles in
ruffled curtains, tamboured muslins and Irish point
novelties, tapestry curtains, piece goods, &c. Mr. A'^an
Blaricom is in a position to interest every buyer of such
goods. ^
The new styles being brought out by Pratt, Hurst &
Co., Nottingham, are the result of the suggestions fur-
nished by Mr. Robt. Martin, manager of the firm's
American salesroom at 274 Church street. Mr. Martin
spent November in Nottingham at the firm's factory, and
the trade may expect to find some very handsome novelties
in the lines now on display at the New York salesroom.

Hunninghaus & Lindemann will remove this month
from 510 Broadway to more spacious quarters in the build-
ing 79 Walker street, which is now being improved and
refitted for them. They have leased the entire building
with the exception of one floor, and in the new quarters
will secure much better light and air, as well as more room
than in their Broadway store. In this connection it may
be mentioned that they will have two floors, each 35x100
feet, to rent. Until their removal they will continue to
show at their Broadway headquarters their new lines of
window shades and shade cloths, including Diamond
opaques, hollands, window shade laces, &c.
Ryan & McGahan, agents for Hood, Morton & Co.,
Glasgow, and the Globe Tapestry Mills, have removed
from 57 to 85 Leonard street. They have an entire, finely
lighted loft at the latter address, with good elevator ser-
vice, and in all respects have obtained a number of ad-
vantages in the move, one being that the new salesroom
is only a few doors from Broadwa5^ Mr. McGahan is
out on a spring trip and obtaining his share of trade, as
usual. Mr. Ryan keeps active in visiting the larger
Eastern cities and giving time to the salesroom also.
In connection with all these stories of large improvements
on the part of great retail merchants in New York, it should
be remembered that James McCreery has for years owned
all the property between his present location and Sixth
aveuue. He bought long ago, if we are not mistaken, the
old Booth Theatre from L. M. Bates. No matter what
happens James McCreery can have a place which will be
second to none in the world. Just here it may be well to
recall the fact that in apparently reckless expense of
space in the way of aisles, &c. , no merchant in New York
shows anything like the liberality of James McCreery.
Creighton & Burch, selling agents for the Scranton Lace
Curtain Company, have on view at their store, 10 and 12
Thomas street, New York, the full line of the company's
lace curtains and curtain nets, as prepared for the spring
trade. All the curtains in the line from six points up are
made with the overlock stitch, and the offerings include
every grade from the cheapest to the finest. The line of
nets has proved a great success, and the company's offer-
ings altogether are the most important they have ever
made, being twice as large as those of the previous sea-
son, while every pattern in the line is entirely new.
A. Naumann is succeeded by the A. Naumann-Pulfrich
Company, which will conduct the business at i58
Broadway. Ernest Pulfrich, who joins Mr. Naumann,
has been engaged in the silk and velvet importing busi-
ness, and is widely and favorably known, while Mr.
Naumann has no superior in knowledge of the lace cur-
tain business and taste in the selection of goods. The
new firm has ample capital, and starts under very favor-
able auspices.
The new Naumann-Pulfrich Company will carry a stock
of every kind of lace curtain, from the low price machine
made Nottingham or American to the finest hand made
real laces. They will also have a strong line of bed sets,
tidies, nets and yard goods of all kinds, and conduct a
general lace curtain business on an extensive scale, with
every resource for attracting trade and purchasing stock.
John S. O'Connor, late with Emden, Gerstlfe & Co., will
cover the Western territory; Mr. Naumann will visit
some of the larger Eastern cities; J. R. Cook will attend
to New York city trade, and Mr. Pulfrich will also call on
some city houses. The new company is ready to meet
biiyers with the latest styles for spring.
LEADING LINE OF LACE CURTAINS,
NETS AND YARD GOODS.
J A. Brittain & Co. are displaying the largest and
• most novel line of lace curtains, nets and yard goods
ever offered by them. The goods comprise the Notting-
ham and American products of T. I. Birkin & Co. and the
Swiss productions of Sturzenegger & Tanner.
Brittain & Co. have been the American agents of
Sturzenegger & Tanner for several years past.
They assumed the agency of Birkin & Co.'s line a year
ago, and the styles presented for the spring trade in the
Birkin goods are the result of a direct knowledge of what
the trade want, coupled with the highest skill in original
designing. The novelties are just as numerous and
striking in the nets and yard goods as in the whole cur-
tains, and buyers so far have found it almost obligatory to
order curtains, nets and yard goods without partiality, so
strongly does the whole assortment appeal to a judicious
taste. These especially handsome goods are on view at
the salesroom, 438 Broadway, New York, and at the
branch offices in Chicago and San Francisco, and the
travelers are now on the road with the complete lines.
On December 17 fire started in the picker room of F.
Burkhart & Co.'s hair and moss works, at Lano and Bene-
dict streets, St. Louis, and the contents of the building
were badly damaged. Insurance, $26,200.
H. H. Sturtevant & Co., Zanesville, Ohio, opened the
holiday season on December 10 with a military band, two
orchestras and a topical song. The latter, which was a
duet, set forth the advantages of buying at Sturtevant &
Co's.
The Mermod & Jaccard Building, at Locust street and
Broadway, St. Louis, was gutted by fire on December 19.
Among the tenants of the building were a number of
agents for Eastern upholstery and carpet houses, among
them Charles C. Perry & Co.
The exports of tapestry, damasks, &c., from the
consular district of Bradford, England, for the month of
November, amounted in value to j£6&. The exports of
hair cloth during the same month were valued at ^89, as
against ^2,174 during November, 1896.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
Bailey. — George Bailey, the poet of the portiere and the perse-
cutor of Downey, left last week on his trip for George E. Lackey,
the agent of the Bromley Manufacturing Company. Both the man
and the line are good.
Baldwin. — Richard Baldwin, of R. H. Wilson & Co., reached
home on the day after Christmas from an extended business trip in
Europe.
Barnes. — C. Hervey Barnes, the New York agent of Barnes &
Beyer, will show the goods of the concern to the customers of the
house in New York State and Pennsylvania during the coming sea-
son. Mr. Barnes has not been on the road for some time, but his old
friends will doubtless extend him a hearty welcome.
Cook. — J. R. Cook, with A. Naumann, 458 Broadway, New York,
will remain with the newly organized concern, the Naumann-Pul-
frich Company. Mr. Cook will look after the city and nearby
trade.
Dibble. — The changes in the selling force of Barnes & Beyer,
by which W. J. Pingston will make the Western trip.whiie C. Hervey
Barnes covers Mr. Pingston's old territory, have resulted in the ad-
dition to the staff of John W. Dibble, who will hereafter care for
the floor and city trade of the firm. Mr. Dibble continues to handle
the accounts he now has.
Fletcher. — Frank N. Fletcher, of W. H. Fletcher & Co., is due
to-day on the steamer Paris from his European trip for his firm.
Fletcher. — E. B. Fletcher, of W. H. Fletcher & Co., is spending
the winter on the tablelands of Tennessee, just over the mountains
from Asheville, N. C.
Heiss. — In spite of snowslides, blizzards and all sorts of obstruc-
tions, the mails from the far West have kept Geo. E. Lackey
informed that Harvey W. Heiss had not abandoned his ton of trunks
to start for the Klondike.
Hitchcock. — The country seat of Welcome G. Hitchcock, of W.
G. Hitchcock & Co., at Scarsdale, N. Y., was bought on December
14 by Trainor L. Parks. It includes 200 acres of fine land.
McGahan. — Geo. B. McGahan, of Ryan & McGahan, 85 Leonard
street, New York, is sending in some very fine orders from the
West. Mr. McGahan has representative lines and knows how to
show them.
Meek. — W. R. Meek, who formerly represented the Domestic
Tapestry Company in Chicago, and also Stern Brothers' wholesale
upholstery department, is now with Lawson Brothers.
O'Connor. — John S. O'Connor, recently with Emden, Gerstle &
Co., will hereafter cover his old Western territory for the Naumann-
Pulfrich Company.
Pingston. — -W. J. Pingston started on New Year's Eve for Barnes
& Beyer, over untried fields. When he comes back he will be looking
for new worlds to conquer.
Raymond — Cartwright. — Frank Raymond, who has had charge of
the white goods department, which formerly included the lace cur-
tain stock, of the H. B. Claflin Company for fifteen years, is succeeded
by George V. Cartwright, of Lazonby & Cartwright.
Stern. — While the Christmas shopping was at its height on the
afternoon of December 18, the shutters of Stern Brothers' big stores
on Twenty-third street were suddenly closed and all sales stopped.
Customers crowded around the desks to inquire the cause, and were
informed that Herbert, the eight year old son of Louis Stern, had
died at 3 o'clock at the family apartments in the Savoy Hotel.
A BOSTON CHANGE.
EREAFTER Charles F. Bacon
will have charge not
only of the carpet
and rug departments, but
also of the upholstery
and furniture depart-
ments in the dry
goods establishment of
R. H. White & Co.
Mr. G. F. Carter, who
has been in control
of the upholstery de-
partment, retires.
The position of buyer
for the upholstery de-
partment will be as-
sumed by Mr. C. J.
Unmack, and he is
said to be specially fitted
for the place. Mr. Unmack came to this country from
Australia, where his father was Postmaster-General and
Commissioner of Railroads. He has been successively with
the D. M. Read Company, of Bridgeport, Conn. ; Lieb-
mann Brothers and Frederick Loeser & Co , and for five
years with Jottrneay & Burnham, of Brooklyn, as buyer of
upholstery goods and fine draperies. The furniture
buyer will be Mr. F. G. Toomey, heretofore with this firm,
and advanced on merit.
Mr. Bacon sa^'s that the idea is to make these various
departments a unit of interest, and better fitted to handle
the firm's increasing high-class trade. The stocks in each
line will be made to correspond, so that orders can be filled
harmoniously. The success which has marked Mr.
Bacon's management of the carpet and rug business is a
guarantee that the change which enlarges his powers will
work advantageously. He is a man of wide experience,
and of quick and sound judgment.
According to the Frankfurter Zeitung, the exportation
of Voightland laces and curtains to the United States will
not be diminished by the Dingley tariff.
The firm of Emden, Gerstle & Co. expired last night.
It is reported that G. Emden will continue. Mr. Emden
has a very favorable connections abroad, his father being a
large manufacturer at St. Gall.
James T. Hall, president of the James T. Hall Com-
pany, 131 and 133 West Thirteenth street, New York, has
disappeared, and no trace of his whereabouts have been
discovered. His associates in business say that his ac-
counts with the company are somewhat mixed, but that
the concern will not be seriously crippled by any de-
ficiency.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
\ Manufacturers of coarse draperies have had a brisk
/V\ run upon them for goods suitable for trimming-
department booths in bicycle repair and sales stores. The
idea is shown in Figure 1. It has become quite the
fashion for hardware, sewing machine, drug and other
stores to put in a side line of bicycles, and instead of the
ordinar}^ rail arrangement for holding these wheels a booth
is put up. This booth can be made attractive with the
proper draping. The preference appears to be chiefly for
curtains woven from coarse numbers of jute yarns. These
yarns take a good color, and when woven into neat pat-
terns make a curtain that is particularly useful for draping
department booths. Being coarse and strong they are
not easily torn by coming into contact with wheels. They
can be washed when soiled.
As to the weaving, the styles should generally be neat.
The majority of the business is done in dark colors, the
lighter colors soiling too readily. The darkest shades of
tan are very desirable, as are also A^ery dark olives and
very dark blue mixes. The exact number of ends in a
warp in any of these goods depends of course upon the
number of ends in a pattern and the number of patterns
in a warp, and upon the number of ends in the warp will
depend the size or i. umber of reeds to use so as to get the
required weight. But, as a rule, the goods may be woven
closer than wool or part wool yarns, and if washed in a
knocker mill the texture will close up enough to make a
durable fabric. The drawing is of a home-made mill for
this purpose. The knocker B is worked by cranks, with
one-half and one-fourth sweep, working in the centre of
arms up and down on a slide. The goods to be treated
are placed at E. A countershaft with eccentrics, D,
attached to it furnishes the power. Attached to the
eccentrics are two straight arms, which are connected to
the knocker as shown. The knocker is held up in the
centre of the support C by a strong iron pin 3 inches in
diameter; these supports are placed in the centre, on the
sides of the mill, and are operated upon by being pushed
up the incline each turn of the machine. They fall back
of their own weight.
Fig. 3 shows some designs for this line of drapery.
The colors include red, brown, medium blue, dark blue,
black and plum. The weaves are chiefly twills and heavy
diagonals. Black for checking in jute texture of this
description can be obtained with 1 to II2 per cent of
color. The instructions for dyeing are as follows: Enter
the jute direct in a boiling hot bath containing the dis-
solved color, and work well three-quarters of an hour,
during which time the bath will steadily cool. The best
results are obtained if the jute is dipped in boiling hot
water before dyeing.
The dark green shade is dyed as follows for 100
pounds of yarn : Prepare a bath containing 10 per cent.
Glauber's salt, 3 per cent, oil vitriol and 3 per cent, green.
Cool bath to 160 degrees Fahr., enter yarn, give five
or six turns, raise temperature and boil to shade, turning
yarn meanwhile; wash and dry.
Tan brown prepare with 6 pounds chrome, 3 pounds
red tartar. Finish with 200 pounds chip fustic, 40 pounds
canwood, 14 pounds madder. Boil wool two hours, then
sadden with l-'l pounds bluestone, and boil one-half hour
longer.
Design 1 is a common stripe effect, checked off with
cross lines. No. 3 is a crossed alternate check, and 3 a
double stripe with floated spots between the stripes. No.
4 is of the same character, while 0 is a plain pattern of
the plaid order. Nos. 6, 7 and S are suggestions for
designs specially arranged for this class of drapery.
In finishing, cold water agrees better with the colors
then hot water, since it does not cavise the colors to run so
much. Working in hot liquors has a great effect in caus-
ing colors to run. A curd or tallow soap, not being
readilv soluble in cold water, needs to be used in hot

liquors, and hot rinsing waters are required, and it will be
found that hot rinsing water has a greater "bleeding"
effect on the colors than hot soap liquors have and much
more than cold rinsing waters. So on this account it will
be found best to use an oil soap in the washing of the
goods. Next follows drying, pressing and the goods are
ready for the market.

LITTLE bookstands or convenient tables for almost any
use are to be had in the shops where enamel is sold
which may be finished in almost any college color desired.
One seen was in the double
colors of Princeton, the
orange and black, showing
half for each side of the
table. By its side stood one
in Yale blue, and not far
away was the Harvard crim-
son. The variety which
these colors now come in
make it possible to
have them match almost
any furnishing desired.
Low 5 o'clock tea tables,
with double leaves, are
liked by college girls, fin-
ished in the color, not
of their own alma mater,
but of the especial college for the other sex which they
elect to honor.
\ PRETTY gift for an invalid, whose range of gifts is apt
to grow very narrow in proportion to the length of
her invalidism, is a foot cushion or pillow hassock. A
square hair or closely stuffed feather cushion is lined
on the under side with imitation leather. This is best for
wearing purposes, and also because it slips easily along
the floor. For the upper side one of the velour squares
seen in every upholstery shop is admirable and durable, or,
if greater showiness is desired, a piece of brocade is ex-
ceedingly elegant for the purpose. If the velour is used
the cushion should be covered first with a soft China or
India silk of some rich harmonizing color. This is put on
to puff slightly at the sides, and over it is stretched, dia-
mond shape, a square of velour or brocade velvet or what
ever is desired. Heavy bullion cord in a trefoil pattern-
should finish the cornei-s or colored tassels may be used.
T~HE art silks for the various uses of fancy work, includ-
ing scarf draperies and sofa cushions, are vying in
beauty this season with costly hand work in the shape of
elaborate embroideries. A sofa cushion made up of silk
of a pale art green tint, powdered with brown thistles,
was as exquisitely realistic as though they had been
wrought in relief work. Some other patterns seen were
one of apple green silk, covered with cherry blossoms, and
a rich one of a cafe au lait groimd, upon which were strewn
in lavish profusion perky bunches of the stiff little spikes
of wintergreen leaves, with the bright red beads of berries
that betoken their ripening.
SCONCE. REPOUSSE WORK ON
COPPER. VICTORIAN ERA EX-
HIBITION.
"The way in which a cheerful effect was killed and a dull
one produced, or vice versa, was noticed in the refur-
nishing of a clubroom recently. It had been done in red
and white, and though the
decorations were neither new
nor specially artistic the
colors were so good that the
room had come to be known
as the most attractive in the
building — a large public
one. Some so-called art dec-
orators, however, got at it
recently and hung the walls
in a silk tapestry. Above the
molding, which ended a
little below the ceiling, was a
good plain, creamy tint that
melted into the top wall
without any line of demarca-
tion. Even this dome,
however, could not save the
room, and when the club, after
having been banished from the apartments for one
or two meetings, reassembled, the real distress of
its members was positively amusing. Dull, common,
absolutely without welcome or effect had the room be-
come, and that particular club is contemplating the rash
extravagance of a prompt redecoration at its own expense
of a room that has just been SLibjected to a costly over-
hauling. Nothing is more risky than to choose hangings
ignorantly. Cost and fashion have little to do with the
real effect. It is the artistic idea that is needed, and this
may be had in paper at 10 cents a roll as easily as in tapes-
try at $5.
"The decoration of fLtrniture and fancy articles of wood
by the process of burning is getting to be one of the
fine arts. It is astonishing to see what delicacy of shad-
ing may be accomplished by the process, and how accu-
rately the fine detail in designs of all sizes is filled in.
Some examples of this kind of work are on exhibition in
the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art
at Broad and Pine streets, Philadelphia, where the process
is being taught to numerous scholars. The art of decorat-
ing wood by burning is known as " Pyrography, " and the
instrument used is prepared especially for this purpose,
and is decidedly ingenious. The pencil — if it may be
called such — is attached to a rubber bulb, which in turn is
affixed to a small hose, suspended from the end of which
is a smaller bulb containing naphtha. By pressure upon
the larger bulb the naphtha is ignited, and the heat
forced into the pencil, which is of metal. The heat is
regulated by the same process as that which produces the
igniting of the naphtha; the greater the pressure the
darker the mark, or vice versa.
In the first conception of the art of pyrography the im-
plement Lised was simply an iron rod sharp at the point,
and heated by placing it in an ordinary coal fire. The
shading was done as the " poker " cooled. The first pro-
ductions were portraits of well-known public men, and
were called "poker sketches." Ball Hughes, a popular
sculptor residing in Boston many years ago, was one of
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
the first to produce the " poker sketches," and some ex-
amples of his work are still on exhibition in that city,

prominent as a candidate for the Presidenc}-.

THE JAY C. WEMPLE COMPANY.
THE famous Empire window shades and shade rollers,
manufactured by the Jay C. Wemple Company are
always an especially conspicuous feature in the offerings
of every trade season, and there is every indication that
the spring demand for these
=P*** goods will exceed all the pre-
vious output of this manufac-
turer. The trade have learned
that the Empire brands are al-
ways kept up to the standard
under any condition of prices,
and this feature of the com-
pany's policy is being more and
more appreciated by the trade.
The Jay C. Wemple Company's
complete lines are shown at the headquarters, 537 and 539
Broadway, and at the Chicago salesroom, 255 and 357
Wabash avenue.
Fire broke out in the upholstery department of Graham
& Mcintosh's store at Portsmouth, N. H., on December
18, resulting in a loss of about $500 on stock.
The John Thompson Company, a Brooklyn, N. Y., cor-
poration engaged in the manufacture of upholstered fur-
niture, has begun proceedings in the Supreme Court for a
voluntary dissolution on the ground that the stockholders
think they can do business more economically as a partner-
ship. The compan}^ is capitalized for $40,000. Its assets
are $93,733.01, and its liabilities $30,658. The stock is
held by Arthur Thompson, Arthur Appleton, Thomas
Thompson, William and John Thompson.
The Golden Rule Dry Goods Store, Danville, 111., owned
by A. W. Heinley and Herman Schmidt, was destroyed
by fire on December 31. The stock was valued at $80,000,
none of which was saved. The building, valued at $15,-
000, was owned by John Gernand. The fire caught in a
front window, which was heavily lined with cotton to
represent a Christmas scene. The dry goods store occu-
pied the three stories of the building. Every floor was
thickly draped with lace curtains and other light goods,
and three minutes after the fire started the whole store
was ablaze. Several of the clerks in the upper stories
jumped out of the windows. One of them. Miss Mary
Reed, was overcome with fright and rushed into the
flames, but was rescued. There was no insurance on the
building, Ou the stock there was $38,000 insurance.
/^VER-cuRTAiNS of heavy tapestry or damask are not now
so much seen in the average home as used to be the
case. Such heavy hangings are left for portieres in door-
ways. In a paper read before the Household Economic
Association recently the writer of it spoke of a visit to the
home of a clubwoman. It was one of the houses in a
block with windows only back and front. Heavy holland
shades, inside blinds, sash curtains, a pair of dark green
sunlight shades and, finally, lace curtains topped with
heavy damask hangings fell over the windows of most of
the rooms With gas and furnace heat it may be imagined
that sunlight and fresh air were at a premium in that
house. The hostess had three children, and as she did
not like them to play in the streets they were usually, ex-
cept for periodical little walks, kept in the house.
"There is nothing to equal tapestry panels for the clothing
of the naked walls of large buildings, and that they
are by no means out of place, even in a church, may be
judged by anyone who has had the opportunity of visiting
Rheims Cathedral. The soft, mellow tints of the tapestry
give a general sensation of warmth to the walls of the vast
building that compares pleasantly with the chill that so
often seizes the visitor from the outside world. The church
of Rheims is so rich in these tapestry panels that many a
one is rolled up and stored on a shelf in the crypt, possibly
owing to want of space in which to display them. It is
sad to see them there, a prey to moth and dust, and ex-
hibiting jags and tatters at the edges, a temptation to every
passing tourist who has a fancy for such souvenirs.
It is this tendency to attract the moths that has always
proved a disadvantage to the use of tapestry in halls and
corridors of large private houses, where the staff of ser-
vants is not so ample as to allow them to spend the time
necessary in shaking and cleansing the hangings with the
frequency they require. Many attempts have been made
of late years to reintroduce painted tapestry, which, being
executed upon a non-woolen background, is not liable in
so great a degree to the attacks of insects.
\ NEW use has been found for the camel's-hair shawls
once so highly prized by ladies as a wearing apparel.
An uptown retail house is now advertising these and India
shawls as furniture coverings to be used in fitting up cozy
corners and smoking dens after the style of Oriental
smoking rooms. The once famous antique India and cash-
mere long shawls are seldom heard of now, these goods
at ont. time being almost universally worn by ladies of
fashion, but gradually they sank into disuse until they dis-
appeared from the market entirely. One uptown house
advertised recently a sale of India shawls at from $20 to
$50 each that were at one time worth $200 and upward,
and to-day there are jobbers who have carried these shawls
from season to season that would be glad to dispose of
them at a price that would show an even greater reduction
on a parity with their cost than is shown in the foregoing
sale. Should they meet with favor for drapery and up-
holstery purposes these jobbers would not be slow to take
advantage of this, and no doubt there are many of these
shawls that have been laid away carefully for years that
would again make their appearances to fill a new line of
usefulness.
r\v the making of sofa cushions there is no cessation.
^""^ Their construction, oddly enough, lends itself not
only in cover, but also in contents, to sentiment, or, in
happily rare instances, to sentimentality. The former is
catered to by the girls who have cut their old love letters
into filling for a pillow. This is quite possible, and a very
good result, as far as comfort goes, is attained if the paper
is snipped into bits no larger than a cent. The height of
vulgar romance is surely reached in the case, imitated
under similar circumstances, in a province of a Bavarian
prince His regiment presented his first child with a crib
cushion. This was stuffed with the mustaches of the
troop, shaved as a votive offering to their chief, ^

from the spotless and fluffy fleece of the Iceland sheep.
One is put down before the brass bedstead and the other
stretches in front of the low, oval dressing table of white
maple or satin wood, which is so particularly appropriate
to this maiden room. A lovely fresco seen in such a
room lately was the repetition all around the walls of Au-
rora's chariot rolling in on the pink morning's clouds, at-
tended by the daughters of the dawn. Watteau hangings
and a carpet strewn with wild roses were some of the fit-
ments of the apartment.

FROM 57 TO 85.
I~^YAN & McGahan have removed from 57 to 80 Leonard
rv street, New York (one door west of Broadway), where
they occupy large and spacious quarters. The new sales-
rooms are well lighted, and most conveniently arranged
with the modern equipment for displaying their lines with
dispatch. They are sole agents for the Globe Tapestry
Company of Philadelphia, and are showing a superb line
of tapestry curtains, couch covers, table covers and piece
goods — in numerous and attractive reversible effects —
which will interest buyers of these goods. The new line
of Nottingham curtains for '98 is full of novelties, which
find ready appreciation by the trade. These goods are
made by Hood, Morton & Co., of New Milns, Scotland,
for whom Messrs. Ryan & McGahan are sole agents.
Buyers should not fail to look over the curtain line before
making their selections. See advertisement on page 8G.
" Actions of the last age," said Sir John Denham, " are
like almanacs of last year." In wishing our upholstery
readers a prosperous and happy New Year we venture to
remark that they will not be up to date in '98 if they rely
upon last year's laurels.
Attention is invited to the Royal Art Lace Insertions
and the fringes of the Columbia Shade Cloth Company.
Some very attractive illustrations are shown in their ad-
vertisement in this issue. Their catalogue is interesting,
and the price list more so.
The Perfect Curtain Roller and Novelty Company,
recently incorporated with a capital stock of $100,000,
will locate at Fairport, Ohio. It is stated that a new
building will be erected at once, and equipped with new
machinery at a cost of $25,000.
The new office of Geo. Brooks & Son in the Stephen
Girard Building on Twelfth street, between Market and
Chestnut, Philadelphia, is specially well adapted for show-
ing their lines, and the location is a great improvement
over the old quarters in the Bourse.
The Josephs & Frank Company, manufacturers of
drapery fabrics, Philadelphia, dissolve on January 1. G.
Josephs retains the plant at Second street and Columbia
avenue. It is understood that L. W. Frank will associate
himself with his brother Edgar, and start a new drapery
and upholstery plant.
Neuburger, Heine & Co.'s lines for spring are along
advance over anything they have yet offered the lace
curtain trade. Everything that is new is not good, and
everything that is good is not new, but Mr. Dolder's de-
partment contains all the new things that are good, and all
the old things that are good enough to repeat.
W. H. Fletcher & Co. are showing some extensive novel-
ties in lace curtains, and are justly proud of their spring
lines. Among the new things are a Nottingham net foun-
dation, with French borders and insertions, and chiffle
and Renaissance embroidery. Another is a tamboured
curtain on heavy net with corded work in relief. The
Marquise curtain is a combination of Irish point and
Brussels work in Dresden designs. An Arabian Brussels
will also attract attention.
THE HENSEL SILK MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
THE Hensel Silk Company's new lines of rope portibres
and upholstery trimmings are shown at the Phila-
delphia salesroom, 639, 641 and 643 North Broad street,
at 76 Chauncy street, Boston ; 147 Fifth avenue, Chicago;
the Phelan Building, San Francisco, and at the New York
office, 468 Broadway, where D. Robb Stirratt is in
charge. The rope portibres made by this company are
finding a wide demand throughout the country, forming a
most attractive, quick selling specialty for every upholstery
department.
B. L. Solomon's Sons are in the field for the spring
trade with lines of upholstery and curtain fabrics more
extensive than ever before. Every grade shown is replete
with new, original and artistic styles, and in our next issue
we shall give further and very interesting details regard-
ing some of the notable novelties and specialties which
the Messrs. Solomon have ready for the inspection of
buyers.
Daniel H. Sunderland has sued Charles T. Bagby, for-
merly of the firm of Bagby & Rivers, Baltimore, for an
accounting. Simderland says that from October 1, 1895,
to September 30, 1896, he was employed by the firm as
foreman at a fixed salary and a. percentage of the profits.
He says that during that time the firm made net profits of
$20,000, yet he was not paid. The concern is now a
corporation.
Rosenthal & Brownlie, 458 Broadway, New York, and
147 Fifth avenue, Chicago, are sole selling agents for the
Saranac Mills tapestry curtains, table and couch covers,
and furniture fabrics; Hyndman & Moore's novelty Derby
curtains, chenille curtains and covers, and the Matred
Mills Oriental curtains and fabrics, and are in a position
to strongly interest buyers of such goods. Rosenthal &
Brownlie are also sole Western selling agents for the
Hensel Silk Manufacturing Company's upholstery and
drapery trimmings, rope portieres,' &c.
The Moss Rose Manufacturing Company's new lines of
tapestry curtains are the most extensive, as well as the
most attractive they have ever shown, the assortment in-
cluding both popular and high grade effects. In Bagdad
portieres the offerings include some very handsome em-
broidered effects, and a large number of other novelties
and specialties in solid cornered brocades, appliqued
border and corner effects, &c., will well repay inspection,
as will also the company's new lines of table covers and
piece goods.
Richardson & Perkins recently commenced the manufac-
ture of lace curtains at 30 Kingston street, Boston. They
produce ruffled and net curtains, and also hand made
Renaissance, Cluny and Arabian curtains. H. Richard-
son was formerly of the firm of Richardson, Howe & Love-
joy, of Boston, and F. A. Perkins has been resident New
England representative of W. H. Fletcher & Co. for the
past five years. Mr. Richardson will attend to the office
aft'airs and Mr. Perkins will look after the manufacturing
and selling department.

THE GOBELINS TAPESTRY FACTORY.
THE director of the Gobelins tapestry factory, who is, of
course, appointed by the French Government, is a
great believer in the importance of environment. Ac-
cordingly, in order to encourage his work-people, he has
lined the great rooms where stand the looms with exquisite
specimens of both old and new tapestry, including the
famous "Venus at the Forge of Vulcan" a loom picture
which is even more beautiful than the original painting by
Boucher.
There is quite as much art as craft about tapestry weav-
from antiques and from life models. A specialty is also
made of flower painting. More than one Gobelins weaver
has attained fame as an artist, and many of them turn out
good paintings in their leisure hours.
Even after five or six years spent at the Gobelins the
young weavers receive only ^50 a year, ^130 being given
to those who are what is called artist weavers, and ;^160
to ^"320 to the foremen weavers.
Owing to the fact that the weaver has to deal with a dry
material which does not admit of glaze or of any of the
resources of the art from which he is in most cases copy-
ing, he cannot, like the painter, judge of the general
WEAVERS AT WORK IN THE GOBELINS' TAPESTRY FACTORY AT PARIS.
ing, and each member of the Gobelins staff is apprenticed
for two years, but is not considered a really first-rate
weaver till many more years have gone by. In old days
the best workers were always given the pleasantest sort of
work to do; that is to say, to them fell the lot of copying
the faces and the figures of the original design. All the
accessories — ornaments, draperies, trees and landscapes —
were left to inferior hands. Now, however, every weaver
is obliged to know something of drawing.
There is an excellent art school attached to the factory,
and each apprentice is compelled to pass a very strict ex-
amination before he is allowed to undertake any of the
finer portions of the work. In the school the pupils study
effect, nor modify his work according to the requirements
of that effect. In old days every color used in tapestry
had its own signification: white embodied purity; red,
charity ; green, contemplation ; black, mortification of the
flesh, and purple, tribulation.
The dyeing department owes much to the famous cen-
tenarian savant, Chevreul ; he made many valuable
experiments in coloring Seven enormous boilers contain,
when necessary, the dyeing liquids, for often as many as
thirty different tones of the same color are used on one
piece of work.
Of course the whole object of a tapestry dye is perma-
nence, for should one tint fade or alter in the slightest
56i

degree, the whole scheme of coloring- is thrown out.
Curiously enough, red, yellow and indigo form the basis of
nearly every color employed in tapestry; but the indigo
blue is not wholly satisfactory, and any chemist who could
invent a lasting and perfect blue dye, applicable to wools
and to silks, would make an enormous fortune and render
a great service to art.
Women are only employed in one portion of the Gobe-
lins— namely, in those workrooms devoted to the final
finishing oft' of the new, and to the mending of ancient
tapestries. This work is called " rentraiture," and is not
the least important branch, for not only does the Gobelins
undertake the restoration of the hangings in the state
palaces, but also of those sent in by religious houses, who
naturally have a very great quantity of fine old work, and
by connoisseurs, who dispatch their woven treasures from
every part of the world.
It may be of interest to some of our readers to add a few
words on the preservation of rare and valuable specimens.
Occasionally exquisite pieces of tapestry can be picked up
not only on the Continent, but also in Great Britain, for in
the pre- Reformation days many churches contained mar-
velous tapestry hangings presented by the lord of the
manor after a tour in the Low Countries.
Unfortunately, an immense number of these priceless
pieces were destroyed in the last century, being considered
shabby and worthless by our too utilitarian forefathers.
Not long ago a very lovely piece of thirteenth century
tapestry was discovered in a Breton cottage fulfilling the
useful purpose of quilt to a sick cow !
It is a mistake ever to send woven pictures to be reno-
vated or cleaned, unless, indeed, the owner can afford to
send them to the Gobelins, for not only will the old color-
ing be entirely altered by the application of modern acids,
but the treasure trove runs a great risk of being either
lost or exchanged for one of considerably less value.
Above all, and old piece of tapestry should never be
rebacked, for this will destroy whatever monetary value it
may possess.
Early in the century a mania arose among European
collectors for having paintings recanvased, and thus
greatly decreased the pecuniary value of many fine works.
The best way to mount a piece of tapestry is to stretch
it — not too tightly — on a piece of well seasoned wood. It
is a pity to hang these woven pictures where the sun
shines directly upon the tapestry. When the woven pic-
ture is small enough the simplest and far the most advan-
tageous fashion of showing it off is to treat it as a painting,
and to place it in a plain oak frame and under glass.
I once saw a dining room paneled with loom pictures
mounted in this manner, and the effect was unique and
beautiful, and well repaid the trouble taken by their owner,
a noted French dilettante and connoisseur.
F. M. Campbell and Geo. Walker, late of the John J.
De Zouche Company, have formed a copartnership under
the title of F. M. Campbell & Co., and have secured the
store No. 1603 Chestnut street, Philadelphia. They will
open on January 10 as the successors of the John J. De
Zouche Company, and will carry a stock identical with that
of the old firm.
THE CHAUNCEY TAPESTRY COMPANY.
rHE spring line of the Chauncey Tapestry Company is
the best the mill has ever turned out. The range
of designs is large, and there are many new ideas in pat-
tern and shading which will undoubtedly be popular with
the trade.
E. C. Hartshorn, manufacturer of upholstered furniture,
Denver, Col., is succeeded by Hartshorn & Co.
The insurance adjusters have agreed upon the damage
sustained by Sharpless Brothers to the stock in their store,
at Eighth and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, by the re-
cent fire, and have fixed the amount at $139,000. The
companies, however, will pay but $110,000, as the firm
was not insured to 80 per cent, of the value of their stock
ai required by the co-insurance clause in the respective
policies.
Ferguson Brothers are in the field this spring with a
line of novelties which will meet with the hearty approba-
tion of those members of the trade who know a good thing
when they see it, and they are not few either in number
or in purchasing ability. In every article in their cata-
logue they show some new shape, color or process of
manufacture. The samples are now ready and some of
them will be surprises.
The new lines of chenille curtains, table covers, tapestry
curtains and covers brought out for the spring trade by
Hoyle, Harrison & Kaye are now on view at their mills,
Lehigh avenue and Third street, Philadelphia, and at the
salesrooms of their selling agents, C. B. Young & Co.,
Hartford Building, Broadway and Seventeeth street, New
York. The lines comprise an especially large assortment
of new, original, artistic styles, and the goods are, as usual,
of the best quality, weave and finish.
Duncan & Crossley are a new firm in the household and
interior decorative business, and will open on January 1
at 1632 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, with a fine stock of
goods in their line. Mr. Duncan was for twenty-two
years with the John J. De Zouche Company, the latter
part of the time one of the company. Mr. Crossley was
for fourteen years with the Chapman Decorative Company.
It is their purpose to conduct a " popular shop," and they
will make it so by good work at moderate prices.
A peculiar fabric which is suitable for many upholstery
purposes is being made in Brussels. It is flexible, trans-
parent and impervious to water, can be washed off with
cold water, like a glass pane, by means of a sponge, and is
mainly to be used for portieres, window shades, umbrellas,
&c. The patented process for the production of this tissue
consists in filling the meshes of a wide meshed fabric, such
as muslin, with chrome gelatine, or with a similar material,
and then rendering the chrome gelatine insoluble by ex-
posure to light. The fabric is then coated on both sides
with boiled linseed oil or fat varnish ; the treatment with
chrome gelatine and linseed oil is repeated several times,
and the fabric is ornamented by printing.

QUEER NAMES FOR COLORS.
a C^\^^ of the perplexities of business
VV life arises," says the London
Warehouseman and Draper, "out of
ihe difficulty of giving descriptive
names to shades of color. To speak of
light blue and dark blue, orange,
yellow and purple, light or dark red,
crimson, and so on, is easy enough, but
the terms-are altogether inadequate

of tint which are many degrees short of
matching. Hence come the fancy

something more definite — such as
'Crushed Strawberry,' ' Eau de Nil,'

AN IMPORTANT REMOVAL
THE Henry Reubel Company will remove on February 1
to the premises Nos. 268 and 370 Canal street. New
York, formerly occupied by J. W. Dimick. They have
taken the first floor and basement of this building, with a
floor size of 50x100 each. The premises have all the
modem store equipments of steam heat, elevator, electric
light, &c. The new store also has ample window space
and light from two sides.
The rapid progress of The Henry Reubel Company has
been somewhat remarkable, although
not unexpected, by reason of the
high business qualifications of its man-
agement. Some four years ago this
concern occupied the premises at
223 Canal street. After aboiit one year
they moved to 269 Canal street, where
they are now located, doubling
their floor space. The removal on
February 1 to the new quarters will
again give them just double the room
that they have in the present store.
The company reports that the travelers
will all be out by January 1 , and that
business has been excellent with them,
and that they anticipate a prosperous
trade for the spring.
The Boston salesroom has been re-
moved to larger and more commo-
dious quarters in the Jefferson Building
564 Washington street, room 94. The
Boston management is continued
in the hands of Mr. C. W. Ellis, who
has been most successful in handling
the Eastern trade, and that of his
assistant, Mr. A. L. Llewellyn. See

a suitable nomenclature of colors will always remain
a desideratum. The resources of language do not ap-
pear equal to the demand made upon them in this re-
spect. An American lady who has been writing upon
' taste ' believes, however, that some improvement may be
effected. vSome of the terms employed she considers to
be objectionable; not because they do not serve the pur-
pose, but because they are inelegant, in illustration of
which she tells a little story, as follows: ' A clever modiste,

the highest degree, once refused persistently to give any

details to a woman journalist who thought her own de-
scriptive powers second to none. When pressed by a
third person for the reason, the artist in dress said she did
not like to have her lovely colorings compared to raw
eatables. "Why," she said, "should a ribbon be de-
scribed as ' salmon pink ' when ' pale coral ' conveyed a
better idea ? or why should cream color take the place of
ivory white ? " ' It is certain, she adds, ' that more ele-
gant similitudes can be found among flowers and birds
and precious stones than in the butcher's and fishmonger's
vocabulary.' There is something very humorous about
this story. We should not have suspected the existence of
a ' modiste ' so sensitive as to object to an appreciative
notice of one of her successful costumes because there was
a chance that the reporter would speak of ' salmon color '
instead of 'pale coral,' or of 'cream white' in preference
to 'ivory white.' It is worth remarking, too, that salmon
color is not the same as pale coral, and that while the one
would convey a definite idea to most people, the other
would not. "
AMATEUR UPHOLSTERER MAKES A UNIQUE SEAT.
((TThe patient husband," says the New York Sun,
I " waited until his wife had told him all about it,
and then sat down and wrote these impressions:
" A most delightful, unique and inexpensive divan can
be readily made by following the directions and pattern
given in almost any household magazine. First, get your
pattern, and then ask your grocer to hand over an empty
barrel. For this there should be no charge ; but that de-
pends somewhat upon your financial standing with him.
Next engage a carpenter who never had a rational idea
and desires to make a few dollars. He is to saw and other-
wise maltreat that barrel in just the manner shown by the
nice dotted lines on your pattern. It is immaterial what
his thoughts are upon the subject.
"When the barrel corresponds in shape with the pat-
tern the next thing is to hide it from the cruel gaze of the
world until it is decorated. Now buy 25 cents worth of
excelsior, to be used as a filHng. Every chair that pre-
tends to be comfortable must have some sort of filHng or
it is a barefaced swindle. Now tuck your excelsior in any-
where between the covering and the barrel, or what is left
of it. Never mind about placing it in smoothly ; it will
always be lumpy anyway, no matter how you fix it. Be-
sides, you need never sit on it yourself. It is considered
good form in the very best circles to resign the seat of
honor to your guests, no matter who they are. For the
covering obtain a few yards of cretonne at 15 cents a yard
and some neat binding stuff to match.
" Now is the time to jam the excelsior in wherever it
will go, and tack your binding neatly all round with any
tacks you may have in the house. Do not buy the tacks.
Some people err just at this juncture. If you purpose to
buy everything, you might as well drop the whole thing
where it is, because you are losing sight of the fact that
the object is to keep down the cost as much as possible.
Every economical household has a fine collection of point-
less and otherwise crippled tacks. They will be found in
an old half-cracked saucer carefully laid away on a top
shelf somewhere, and they will do every bit as well as
new ones. Should you be fastidious, however, and wish
to lend some tone or character to your handiwork, you
may indulge in the extravagance of a few cents' worth of
brass headed tacks; but I again warn you about increasing
the expense, and that you cannot then carry out your
original intention of driving the tacks home with a flat
iron.
"An ordinary tack will stand any abuse, but the brass
resents any unnecessary aggressiveness. In order to allow
a brass headed tack to retain its pristine beauty and deco-
rative effect it must be driven with a hammer only and
some judgment. Cynics may observe that this means a
man, but that is silly divergence from the present subject
and leads to trouble. As we said, if you attempt to force
it in with a flatiron you can only hit the head once in a
while, and the rest of the hour will be spent in making
entirely unnecessary dents in the head. These really serve
no good purpose, but merely give the head somewhat of
an in-egular repousse effect, which, while very desirable
on a brass coal hod, does not appeal to our artistic eye
when executed on such a limited area.
' ' When all through you will have a nice, cozy and inex-
pensive seat that has well repaid you and the carpenter.
Bearing in mind that the barrel was given you, the beauti-
ful divan will have cost you only a mere trifle more than
you could buy a comfortable one for; but you must not
forget that you had the pleasure of making it all yourself,
and nothing will remain of that well spent day but pleasant
reminiscences as soon as your new thumb-nail grows.
When showing the seat to admiring friends please remem-
ber that details are boring and forget the carpenter."
THE ORINOKA MILLS.
THE Orinoka Mills, Philadelphia, of which Jay H. Solo-
mon, the retiring partner of B. L. Solomon's Sons,
is sole proprietor, will remove about January 15 to the
. new building on the corner of Fifth avenue and Seven-
teenth street. New York. An oifice has also been opened
at the factory in Philadelphia, where the full lines will be
shown. The new fabrics and designs are very original
and effective, a successful effort having been made to get
out of the beaten track.
A feature of the spring offering will be a large assort-
ment of moderately priced, double face fabrics. Cotton tap-
estries, wool tapestries and silk damasks and satin faces,
together with piece goods of cotton stripes, with tinsel,
are shown in a notable profusion of styles.
Edgar Seemiller has opened an upholstery establish-
ment at Airy and DeKalb streets, Norristown, Pa.
In Philadelphia the air is full of rumors, among them a
strong report that Sharpless Brothers have purchased the
property now occupied by the Chicago Merchandise Com-
pany, on Market street. The wholesale department of
Sharpless Brothers is situated between Gimbel Brothers
and the Chicago Merchandise Company. Another rumor
has it that John Wanamaker has purchased the properties
on Market street now occupied by Joel J. Bailey & Co. and
Lippincott & Co., the pubHshers. Bailey & Co. adjoin
the easterly end of the Lit Brothers' establishment.

ROOMS IN A LONDON HOUSE.
THE drawing room shown in the cut presented herewith
is the most striking feature in a London house, notable
as an example of the use throughout of fabrics and pat-
terns designed chiefly by William Morris.
The walls of the drawing room are covered with a gold
laquered paper, rich in various colors, that at first sight
suggests Japan, but proves to be a design of chrysanthe-
mum (by Morris) embossed in silver, overlaid with washes
of brilliant transparent lacquer. The cornice is also
lacquered, and the ceiling painted with gold and silver
upon an ivory ground. The chief colors in the hangings
are green and blue, mixed to yield a delightfully soft
"bloom," which is echoed in the fabric clothing the walls
of the second drawing room opening out of the first.
The mantelpiece in the first room was especially designed
by Mr. Walter Crane to display some of Mr. lonides'
unique collection of Tanagra statuettes.
To see how well the terra cottas of Tanagra " go " with
the Gothic and Oriental details of Morris is to realize once
again that nearly all noble things can be trusted to exist
happily in each other's society. For here Japanese metal
work, Chinese blue and white, historic majolica, and these
little figures in their delicate colors set in a quasi-Greek
overmantel, make no discord, but come together far more
happily than do the average objects in a room kept rigidly
to the work of a fixed period. The carpets by Morris
reveal the features which he made his own — robust, gen-
erous curves blossoming into flower-like patterns, and
with a sense of space unlike the "tight" effect of most
modern carpets. In the second room a portiere of old
embroidery over the dining room door is a superb piece of
color that harmonizes strangely well with the modern
work around it.
In this room stands a grand
piano (which will be re-
membered by many visitors
to the Arts and Crafts) with
a case of wood stained
green, and almost covered
with elaborate detail in gold
and silver gesso.
From the inner drawing
room the dining room is en-
tered, and here we have a
very notable instance of
a very elaborately decorated
apartment, that at first sight
does not reveal itself as
materially unlike any similar
room in a well appointed
modern house. Yet the
walls, the ceiling, the doors,
sideboard, in fact the whole
room (except the high dado
of Spanish leather and the
marble mantelpiece with its
Persian tiles), has been
lacquered upon silver. Al-
though pitched in the highest
key (next to stained glass)
which craft allows, metal of all
shades, from crimson to pale green and silver, has been
so deftly softened by transparent lacquers that the result
is the reverse of gaudy and as harmonious as a fine piece
of ancient metal with the patina of age upon it.
The designs of the surface decoration are all by Mr.
Walter Crane, who was assisted in the modeling of some
of the subjects by the late Osmond Weekes. In the large
panels of the frieze the subjects are taken from ^sop's
Fables. The motive of the ornament elsewhere is the
vine.
The billiard room is lined with Japanese paintings on
silk and Japanese color prints under glass, framed in
polished wood; in the ceiling panels of Japanese lacquer
(mostly red) are used in like fashion. The overmantel is
a happy example of a quasi-Japanese treatment, which has
in late years suffered by travesties, so that its original
charm no longer impresses one.
The contract for constructing the velvet factory at
Mystic, Conn., was signed last month, and the work begun
at once. The contract price for the building is $31,850.
Robert B. Hirsch, of New York, represents the Rosse
Brothers, of Germany, who are to remove their velve
plant to Mystic.
In the matter of the application for a voluntary dissolu-
tion of the Buffalo (N. Y.) Furniture Manufacturing
Company, it was ordered by the Supreme Court, on
October 7, that all persons interested shall at 3 o'clock p. m.
on January 25, 1898, before Frank E. Wade, who was
appointed referee, show cause why the corporation should
not be dissolved. The referee's office is 517 Mooney-
Brisban Building, Buffalo.

WALL PAPER NOTES.
. .G. W. Roberts & Co., Washington, Pa., are going out
of business.
..E. R. Carpenter succeeds Carpenter & Baker, Au-
burn, N. Y.
. .Dunn & Mantie are a new firm at 253 Main streets
Hartford, Conn.
. .Gordon & Franz, Duluth, Minn., have dissolved part-
nership. J. Fred Gordon continues the business.
Daniel F. Billmyer, window shades and paper hang-
ings, has removed to No. 814 Madison avenue, Baltimore.
. .The Delaware Wall Paper Mills Company, which is to
manufacture wall paper at Newark, Del., has obtained a
charter.
. . Simeon Walton has begun the erection of a store on
Pine street, South Portland, Me., for his wall paper
business.
..Edward Albertson, of Delavan, 111., has purchased
S. M. Douley's stock of furniture and removed his wall
paper and paint stock into the Douley store.
. .Thomas J. Myers, jobber of wall papers, 1206
Market street, Philadelphia, removes to-day, January 1,
to 1217 Market street, where he has leased three floors.
. . The corporation of Barnard, Walker & Co. , wall
paper, books and musical instrument dealers, Dubuque, la. ,
has given several chattel mortgages, in all amounting to
$19,000, mostly for the benefit of home creditors. Outside
creditors named are the Emerson Piano Company, $2,000;
National Wall Paper Company, $1,000; Crauss & Beach,
$490; Lyon & Potter, $3,000. The preferred creditors
are all Dubuquers. The assets will not exceed $20,000.
. .James S. Warren, one of the leading wall paper man-
afacturers of this country, died at his home in New York
on Christmas morning. He had been in poor health for
the last two years, and about a month ago he began to
sink rapidly. Mr. Warren was bom in Verona, Oneida
County, N. Y., sixty-seven years ago, and came to New
York at at early age. He had been engaged in the manu-
facture of wall paper for aboiit thirty years. His place
of business was at No. 129 East Forty-second street. Mr.
Warren was a member of the Union League and Century
clubs. For some time he was president of the Wall
Paper Manufacturers' Association. He leaves one
daughter and a brother and a sister. His nephew, Will-
iam Barbour, is the president of the Barbour Brothers
Flax Spinning Company, of Paterson, N. J.
. . Henry L. Dauernheim, proprietor of a wall paper
store at No. 3118 Easton avenue, St. Louis, made an as-
signment on December 20 for the benefit of his creditors.
Joseph F. Shenk is assignee. The statement filed by Mr.
Dauernheim related that he had been unjustly attached by
a party claiming to be a creditor, and that he determined
upon this measure in order that all his creditors might be
equally protected. The total value of the assets is esti-
mated at $2,200.
. .John Braidwood, aged seventy-four, a well-known
citizen of New Brunswick. N. J., died there on December
12, after a brief illness. Mr. Braidwood was connected
with the block cutting department of the wall paper fac-
tory of Janeway & Co., of New Brunswick, and was
known in the wall paper business throughout the Eastern
States because of his long connection with that line of
business. When the factory was absorbed by the wall
paper trust he started an independent factory for block
cutting.
. .It has long been recognized that arsenical wall paper,
do serious mischief, but the work of recent investigators,
. , as published in the Journal of the Society
Arsenic la ^ ■' -'
of Arts, seems to have cleared up the mys-
tery which has surrounded the matter.
Certain molds have a remarkable property of decomposing
arsenical compounds with the evolution of volatile pro-
ducts containing arsenic, and the highly poisonous char-
acter of volatile arsenical compounds coming into the sys-
tem by way of the respiratory organs is well known.
Arsenic acid, even in small quantities, is a highly anti-
septic substance, and poisonous to molds, so the throwing
off of the arsenic in the volatile form may be the effort of
nature to cast out the poison. The arsenical copper green
and other coloring matters containing arsenic are still
Wall Paper.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
used, and, paradoxical as it may appear, it is by no means
improbable that the most dangerous wall papers are those
containing a mere trace of arsenic, as when the quantity
is large the molds cannot exist. Dyed and printed fabrics
now very frequently contain traces of arsenic, which are
quite dangerous.
..On December 16 the wall paper and paint store of
M. C. Smith, at Jeannette, Pa., was discovered to be on
fire. It is suspected that the store had been burglarized
and then set on fire by the thieves, as some of the firemen
claim that the spigots of turpentine and varnish barrels
were found open, with the inflammable contents running
over the floor. The flames failed to reach a row of barrels
containing oil and benzine. The theory of burglary and
incendiarism is strengthened by the fact that a small sum
of money left in the till had been stolen. The loss is esti-
mated at $2,500. Mr. Smith's stock is worth about $8,000,
and he carried $7,500 insurance.
THE AMERICAN PEGAMOID COMPANY.
rHE American Pegamoid Company has been incor-
porated at Trenton, N. J., with a paid in capital
-stock of. $100,000, and an authorized capital stock of
$5,000,000. The company will deal in paper, paper
materials and paper substitutes, raw substances, pulps,
preparations and mixtures, and all articles to be made
from paper and paper substitutes; also to manufacture
wall paper, &c. The incorporators are John R. Bartlett,
Conrad N. Jordan, John T. Collins, John J. McCook.
Gilbert I. Herbert, John A. McCall, Joseph J. Byers,
Thomas A. Mclntyre, all of New York; Edward H. Has-
kell, Newton, Mass.; Peter T. Austin, Brooklyn; Arthur
W. Pope, Albert A. Pope, of Boston, and Edward F. C.
Young, of Jersey City.
J. T. Brady, who for sixteen years has been upholsterer
for C. K. Lambson, Huntington, Mass., has embarked in
business for himself at 146 Elm street.
The cut herewith represents another of the new styles
of sash and vestibule extension rods made by the Sash
Curtain Rod and Novelty Company, of Providence, R. I.
The company's offerings comprise ten styles, and the
goods are alwaj^s quick sellers. Write for samples and

The spirit of progress that has placed the Philadelphia
Tapestry Mills among the foremost commercial enter-
prises of its kind in this country is manifest in the equip-
ment of the new, additional plant. Facilities never before
known will be found in the establishment. The fabrics
made by this concern have not only maintained the high
standard already established, but a reputation far reach-
ing in its influence. Months have been devoted to getting
out new and fashionable effects, many of them unlike any-
thing ever before made. The result of these labors is
now submitted to the trade.

To the Window Shade Trade —
Greetintf :
T the close of another year we feel it incumbent upon us to again
extend to members of the window shade trade, in whatever
t capacity, our sincere thanks for the continued consideration which
*t' our goods ha\-e received at their hands, and the courteous treat-
'^'^s.^^^^i'*' ment generally afforded our representatives.
J* ^ j» For the coming twelve months we have in preparation
more improvements and practical ideas concerning the manufacture of shade
rollers and accessories, of which the trade will learn in due time, and which we
believe will be decidedly interesting to them.
J. Ji J- Regarding our goods, the quality of them can never be assailed.
We originally produced them with the best materials obtainable, and the
standard has never been lowered. A marked increase in the total amount of
sales during 1897 indicates the handlers' and consumers' knowledge that Harts-
horn Shade Rollers are the only rollers made which insure reliable work.
Jt, Ji. Jt. Our product includes all kinds of shade rollers, both of wood and
tin, and many devices which have materially helped the shade maker in his
work, such as the Hartshorn Shade Clasp, the Hartshorn Pin Ends, the Harts-
horn Bottom Roller Clip and our new Catch Pulley, All of these and all of
our rollers are fully described in our illustrated catalogue, which will be sent
free upon application.
J- Ji J- We consider that the
irmpvoveb Ibartsborn Moob IRolleu
is the most ingenious, complete and satisfactory wood shade roller made to-day.
We also consider that the
1batt8bovn Bew (3roove XTin IRollet
is the only practicable metal barrel roller ever produced, upon which shades
can be easily and correctly mounted.

A JUDICIOUS INVESTMENT.
The Best Economy in your Carpet Room
can only be secured by using the most perfect appliances, of the simplest
desisn and the best construction.
Experience lias Proven the Fact
that the SINGER AUTOMATIC POWER CARPET SEWER will save its
cost in one year to any carpet dealer having enough business to require a hand
machine. THE SINGER AUTOHATIC is now in use by dealers who saved
its cost during the first six months of its operation.
A TRIUMPH OF MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY, SUltPASSING ALL OTHER DEVICES FOR ITS PURPOSE.
Truly automatic, requires less labor and sews 40 per cent.
more carpet than any other machine on the market.
Requires least floor space, and uses any form of power.
Makes perfect stitch and seam, sewing any kind of carpet.
Automatic Matching and
Clamping Device.*****'*'**
This device is absolutely unique, and secures perfect stretching
and matching, without necessity for expert labor. It is simpler,
swifter and in every way more effective than any other way of
handling a carpet. The sewing machine works automatically on
its track, following the operator from section to section as fast as
each is matched and clamped, the action of the clamping levers
automatically governing the movement of the sewing machine,
thus saving a great deal of time
This is not a Hand Machine Crudely Adapted to Power Operation*
Our Hand Machine is well known, and is still on the market, fully guaranteed to be the best
and most practical in use.

The Carpet and Upholstery
Association.
541 New York Life Building, 346 Broadway,
NEW YORK.
The Carpet and Upholstery Association has been organ-
ized to supply special reports relating to the financial
responsibility and credit standing of Dealers in Carpets,
Rugs, Oil Cloth, Linoleums, Mattings or Floor Coverings of
any description; Curtains, Upholstery Goods, Window
Sh^ades, Upholstery Hardware, Decorative and Furniture
Specialties and kindred productions.
The system of a special reporting agency of this character
has been successfully conducted in other leading branches of
trade for many years, and this Association is the first and
only credit agency devoted exclusively to the Carpet and
Upholstery Trades.
The Association will issue a Reference Book containing
the names of dealers in the goods mentioned throughout the
United States, together with credit ratings. This Reference
Book will be published twice a year and will be fully revised
up to date of issue.
The Special Reports will be the result of thorough and
extended investigation in the buying markets, as well as at
the resident points of dealers, and will contain information
of inestimable value to all manufacturer^, and wholesalers.
The Association is now prepared to receive subscriptions
and to furnish special reports. It will deliver the first Ref-
erence Book of the Association Reports at the earliest
possible date, probably by Februaiy 1, 1898.
Terms of Subscription will be furnished on application.
COLLECTION DEPARTMENT.
The Association has a thoroughly organized Collection
Department in the hands of experienced men. We shall
endeavor to make this one of the most acceptable features
of the Association. Our facilities for making collections
throughout the United States and Canada are perfected,
and any accounts for collection or other legal matters sub-
mitted to us will be handled in a manner thoroughly satis-
factory to our clients. We have correspondents in every
community of any size in the United States and Canada,
and guarantee that the services of our corresponding
attorneys shall be in all respects satisfactory.

"The Sign of the Four"
A BOOK BY A. CONAN DOYLE)
The sign of the four! It's right in front
of you. See it ?
Both have an immense circulation — of a differ-
ent character of course.
We recommend the upholstery trade to read
our "Sign of the Four." Ours is not fiction-
it's a fact.
Undeniably a well-known trade fact that the fabrics we produce are incom-
parable where honest, unapproachable values and exclusive ideas are taken into
consideration.
The combined output of our mills (the original plant and the one which we
have recently built in addition to it) are taxed to the fullest extent to k:ep up with
the steady stream of orders flowing our way.
We haven't time to boast ! Our attention is given to other things, produc-
tive of more substantial results.
That's what we are in business for — that's why we are constantly able to-
give to the trade the newest and most desirable creations in upholstery fabrics.
Goods that make business for everybody who handles them. If we make them —
they are right ! If you want the best — come to us.

MODERN UPHOLSTERIES.
It is evident that buyers are becoming more convinced every season that it
does not pay to purchase foreign made Upholstery and Drapery Fabrics
when they can buy American made goods of equal quality and superior
styles at considerably less money, That our productions for the
SPRING OF 1898
will substantiate the correctness ot this assertion
we leave to the judgment of the Trade and invite the most careful
comparison between them and imported fabrics.

The Last Process
in making Rubber Matting is to bake or cure it.
Unless this is thoroughly done the goods are
inferior. You know what happens to undercured
hams — undercured rubber also spoils. It doesn't
putrify, but stiffens. It's the elasticity in the
rubber that makes it wear, and the stiffer it gets
the shorter its life. Undercured matting has a
sticky feeling, with little rebound — you can cut
into it easily with vour thumb nail. Double
Diamond and Spider Treads are thorougliiy
cured, tougli and elastic. Their quality is
uniformly good ; they are great wearers, and
please the most exacting customer. Carried 36
inches wide by %2, ]/%, %8 and
% inches thick ; 41 inches wide
by %6 and ^ inches thick.
Cut to size free of cost. Better
have our samples and prices

OF
national and world-renowned importance as the old

Our new lines of " PARK MILLS," " RAJAHS," and other grades are ready
for inspection at our various salesrooms, and are now being shown on the road
by our efficient corps of salesmen.
The " PARK MILLS " are too well known to require extended mention.
The " RAJAH " line of patterns just brought out by us show what this won-
derful invention can do in the way of producing color effects.
No method ever before known was capable of producing such colorings — so
novel and beautiful ! Each pattern is a novelty in itself, and we ask the
trade to be the judge when they see them

-7^- CARPETS. {^
The Carpets made by this Company have received the highest award wherever exhibited,
including Gold Medals at the Paris Exposition, 1878, and at the Centennial, 1876.
Their deserved repiitation for excellence of fabric, richness and durability of color, novelty and
beauty of design, has led to frequent infringements, and inferior goods have often been palmed off
in their stead. For the protection of the public the Company has adopted as a trade mark the word
" BIGELOW," which will be woven (at every repeat of the pattern) in white capitals into the back
of the fabric. Customers will therefore have merely to examine the back of a carpet to be certain
that they are getting the genuine Bigelow goods.
THESE GOODS CAJST BE HAD FROM ALL FIRST-CLASS DEALERS. ^

°Our readers are urged to remen. ber that we are
always desirous to receive coinmuaications of interest to
the carpet or upholstery trades, such a- changes in firms
or managers, the building or opening of new stores,
improvements in old ones, the adding of new departments,
improved methods of doing business, new inventions, sug-
gestions as to the cutting, making and laying of carpets,
the designing and fitting of draperies, or inquiries and
dissertations relating to the technical or commercial details
of the trades to which this periodical is devoted.
TRADE AND PRICES.
THE advances in Tapestries, Velvets and Moquettes, an-
nounced last October by three leading manufac-
turing concerns as to take place to-day, January 1.5, are
now in effect, as stated in detail elsewhere in this issue.
The manufacturers' promises to the trade as regards these
changes have been fulfilled, and the fact can hardly fail to
have a beneficial effect on the market. Advances by two
other Velvet manufacturinjj' companies are also noted in
the same connection.
The travelers who delayed their road trips until the end
of the year have done a much better business than most
of those who started out earlier, and many of these early
birds will be obliged to make another trip, and so double
expenses. The poor policy shown in sending travelers
out so early on the road has often been dwelt upon ty
us, and in our issue of January 1, 1897, we sounded a
warning note on this point, which might well have been
remembered.
Wholesale trade has been quite active during the past
fortnight, especially in the West, and travelers in other
sections of the country also report, as a rule, a cheerful
feeling among retailers, and a good demand for floor
coverings, excepting among those dealers who bought
largely last fall in anticipation of the advances in prices,
which have since been made.
Retail dealers e.xpect the spring trade to open somewhat
earlier than usual, if the weather is not unfavorable. We
have predicted that the spring business would be very
large, and perhaps phenomenal in volume, and we see no
reason to change this opinion at present.
THE REVIEW AND ITS SUPPLEMENT.
IN this issue will be found a number of letters from carpet
dealers in various parts of the country, expressing
their appreciation of the value of The Review and the
Remnant Supplement. These testimonials comprise but a
small portion of the dealers whose lists are printed in each
annual issue of the Remnant Supplement, but it would
require too much space to print all the letters, and they
would also prove rather monotonous being all to the same
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
effect so far as the merits of The Review and its supple-
ment are concerned.
But it is certainly proper for us to call the attention of
the wholesale trade to these letters, for they prove beyond
question the wide circulation and influence of The Review
in the trade, and consequently its great value as an
advertising medium for manufacturers or jobbers.
It should be remembered also that every dealer must
have the Remnant Supplement, and that it can be obtained
only by subscribing for The Review. It necessarily
follows that advertisements placed in its columns are cer-
tain to reach the entire trade of the country.
ADVANCES IN TAPS., VELVETS AND MOQUETTES.
E present herewith the price lists of the Alex-
■-' ander Smith & Sons Carpet Company,
S Sanford & Sons and the E. S. Hig-
gins Carpet Company, which go into
effect to-day, the loth inst., as an-
nounced by these manufacturers in our
issue of November 1. The advances
shown include Velvets, Tapestries and
Moquettes. Tapestries are advanced 2)^ centsa yard, with
the exception of the ten wire goods, which have not been
changed in price. High grade Velvets have been advanced
5 cents, and lower grades 1)4 to 2^4 cents a yard. The
changes can be best understood by looking over the full
lists, which are as follows:

A STATE BANKRUPTCY BILL.
THE new bankruptcy bill introduced at Albany recently
by State Senator Nussbaum seems to be approved,
generally speaking, by a large number of business men in
this city. James G. Cannon, president of the Fourth Na-
tional Bank, and also president of the National Association
of Credit Men, says that the bill will make an excellent
measure with some changes of comparatively minor im-
portance. Mr. Cannon will invite the State association to
take the matter up, and it is expected that the legislative
committee of that organization will at an early date ap-
point a special committee to suggest such amendments to
the bill as they may deem desirable.
The leading features of Senator Nussbaum's bill are :
First, a provision for the appointment of a court officer to
be called a messenger, who shall take charge of the estate
of the insolvent pending further orders of the court;
second, the selection of an assignee by the creditors them-
selves, a majority of the indebtedness to elect; third, the
doing away with preferences In a general way the bill
is modeled after the Massachusetts law, which has been
widely commended in financial circles.
BUSINESS FAILURES IN 1897.
AMONG the more notable features of Bradstreets' report
of business failures in 1897 are the following:
First, a heavy decrease, alike in number and in liabili-
ties, of those individuals, firms or corporations succumbing
to the pressure of unfavorable circumstances. This may
be regarded as indicating a return of prosperous condi-
tions in general business. In the next place must be men-
tioned a drop in the percentage of assets to liabilities shown
as compared not only with last year, but with 1895, and
with 1893 of panic memory, indicating a return to more or
less normal conditions. Finally, there is to be noticed a
reduction in the percentage of what might be termed the
commercial death rate as compared with every year since
and including 1893.
The total number of failures of firms, individuals and
corporations, including banks, reported for the year just
closed was 13,099, a falling off of more than 2,000 failures
and of 13.3 per cent., compared with 1896, a decrease of
15 per cent, from the panic year 1893, and a decrease of
2 3 per cent., even, from 1891, a year of large and pros-
perous business, but, nevertheless, of numerous business
embarrassments. Compared with the year 1895, a dis-
appointing one in many respects in business lines, there
was an increase shown of only about half of 1 per cent.
Compared with 1894, a year of stagnation, the increase was
less than 3 per cent., and compared with 1892, a year of
great business prosperity, there was an increase of 27 per
cent.
The Fries-Breslin Company have found it necessary to
secure additional factory facilities outside of their plant
pending the erection of another building. They have
rented a large building on Second street, Camden, to which
they have removed all their hand looms, and have put in
new power looms in the space vacated by the hand looms.
The company's entire facilities are fully occupied on spring
orders.
R. & T. Gardiner have opened in the carpet jobbing
and retail business at 360 Canal street. R. Gardiner was
for several years with the New York and Amsterdam
Carpet Company.
Leopold Adler, of Savannah, Ga. ; Dreyfus & Co., New
Orleans, and L. Hammel & Co., Mobile, Ala., have
removed their local offices from 45 Lispenard street to 377
Broadway, Room 807.
Some extra handsome effects in their Flemish Tapestries
are shown at the New York office of John Gay's Sons in
the Hartford Building. These are the latest weave in
high-class 4-4 carpets.
P. J. Donovan, 874 Broadway, agent for the Ivins,
Dietz & Metzger Company, reports a satisfactory spring
trade so far with prospects of good orders to come from
both local and visiting trade.
The visiting trade will find the complete lines of
Thomas Develon's Sons' Ingrains on show in the Hart-
ford Building. Frank Dougherty is on hand daily to dis-
play the samples, and W. L. Lundy can also be found
there.
More than 1,300,000 pounds of wool were sold at the
auction sale at the Wool Exchange January 5. Prices
were about the same as those current at private sales.
There was a good attendance, the buyers present coming
from all parts of the country.
Sperry & Beale, matting importers and stair pad manu-
facturers, will remove from 81 White street to 39 Union
square on February 1. In connection with the Union Carpet
Lining Company they will occupy the first loft in this
building, which immediately adjoins the now well-known
Hartford Building, and will have excellent light and
modern accommodations for displaying their samples. All
goods will hereafter be shipped from their factory in
Brooklyn and from the warehouse.
The New York and Amsterdam Carpet Company have
recently placed in their workroom a double electric Taft
sewing machine of latest improved make. The company
now have a much larger workroom than formerly, ob-
tained through the space added to their establishment
on January 1, and can turn out cut carpets with the
greatest promptness. W. F. Carroll, head of the New
York and Amsterdam Company, has leased the entire
building at 264 and 266 Canal street, with an extension
through to Walker street. The premises are being im-
proved throughout with new elevator, electric lights, new
offices, &c.
The firm of F. B. Bru Baker & Co., 41 Union square,
was dissolved January 4 by the retirement of James H.
Whittaker. Mr. Bru Baker will continue the business as
selling agent for Thos. Caves & Sons, Philadelphia, and
Koch & Te Kock, Oelsnitz, Germany.
One of the features of the new trading floor of the
Wool Exchange will be a collection of standard
types of wool in glass jars, which will be displa3'ed
in appropriate cases. This collection has been made with
great care, and represents the combined knowledge of
many of the best wool authorities and experts in the
country.
Arnold, Constable & Co. have every reason to be satis-
fied with the business of their wholesale carpet depart-
ment. The firm's travelers have booked a big amount of
orders on the road, and the line of private patterns pre-
pared by Mr. Daintrey for the spring trade has found
quick appreciation among all dealers who have any
demand for choice original designs and colorings.
William T. Buckley retired from the firm of Dun-
ham, Buckley & Co., December 31 last, the remaining
partners continuing the business under the firm title of
James H. Dunham & Co. The firm is now composed as
follows: James H. Dimham, Charles H. Webb, William
E. Webb and William A. Little. Mr. Buckley's sudden
death, a few days after his retirement from the firm, is
referred to elsewhere.
Joseph Feiner, dealer in furniture and carpets at 111 Ave-
nue A, has given a bill of sale to a Mr. Polacek. The
Crocker Chair Company has taken legal proceedings to
collect a claim of $33-9. Mr. Feiner had been in business
six years. The sheriff has received another attachment
against Feiner for $1,158 in favor of George Heyman, and
a writ of replevin for $363 in favor of the H. B. Claflin
Company. ■
The Merchants' Association held its first annual meet-
ing at the Broadway Central Hotel January 4. President
William F. King was in the chair, and opened the session
with an address on the work of the association. The fol-
lowing directors were elected: William F. King, John
Claflin and William E. Teft't, to serve for three years;
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
John C. Juhring, Charles H. Webb and Corcellus H.
Hackett, to serve for two years; Charles T. Root, Meyer
Jonasson, and James H. Breslin, to serve for one year.
A banquet was given by the buyers of the Siegel-Cooper
Company, December 30, at Fleuret's, Fifth avenue, in
honor of two of their number, I. Levy and Mark Elkins,
who have embarked in business for themselves. After
cotfee had been served Mr. Johnson presented to Mr.
Levy a magnificent solid silver loving cup. Mr. Levy
expressed his gratitude to his fellow workers who had so
handsomely remembered him. Mr. Sinks then presented
to Mr. Elkins an equally beautiful solid gold match box.
Mr. Elkins accepted the gift in a graceful little speech.
The family of Martin O'Connor, carpet and furniture
dealer at 185 Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, reported his dis-
appearance to the police on the 2d inst. He left his
home at 8 o'clock on the morning of December 31. He
intended then to go direct to his store. He carried with
him $2,500. He did not go to the store, and he has not
been seen since, so far as his family can learn. They say
he is abstemious, and that he never has been in the habit
of remaining away from home over night. O'Connor is
sixty-two years old and well to do. He is described as
being a stout man with gray hair and side whiskers. He
wore dark clothes and boots.
When Bertha Kabatchinck got a separation from Jacob
Kabatchinck in November, 1895, she was allowed $20 a
week alimony. The amount was subsequently reduced to
$10, and the defendant was ordered to pay $500 back ali-
mony. On the 10th inst. he was before Justice Maddox,
in Brooklyn, on a motion to punish him for contempt for
having disobeyed the order. Kabatchinck once had a large
carpet and furniture business at Division street and the
Bowery, but now, his counsel said, he has nothing and is
$12,000 in debt. His lawyer also said the plaintiff has a
furniture business of her own and possesses real estate.
Justice Maddox reserved his decision.
The managers of the Wool Exchange announce that in
the future they will conduct an open public wool market.
This was the original intention of the founders of the Ex-
change. This system, they state, is most in harmony with
the purposes of the Exchange and with the spirit of the
times. The "open market" system, it is claimed, is de-
manded and indorsed by all connected with the wool
trade. In the future the mai-ket will be open to dealers
and manufacturers alike. The next regular sale will be
held February 2, commencing at 1 o'clock in the after-
noon. Entries have already been received and wools will
be on display, commencing Monday, January 10, at the
Wool Exchange. There will be no change in clause No.
9 of the terms of sale at future auctions.

erected, the size, proportions and style of architecture
have not yet been decided upon, and will not be for some
weeks to come. In the meantime the Messrs, Dobson
will continue to occupy the basement, first and second
floors of the new building, at Ninth and Market streets,
owned by Mr. John Dobson. The first floor is utilized
for the private offices of the firm and Manager Charles E.
Coloney, while the regular counting room is located at the

PENNSYLVANIA'S CONVICT LABOR LAW.
THE Muehlbronner Convict Labor Law, passed at the
last session of the Pennsylvania Legislature, went
into effect a few days ago, and now the use of machinery
in the manufacture of goods has ceased in all the penal
institutions of that State. The Muehlbronner law pro-
vides that only 46 per cent, of the convicts in a prison shall
be employed in the manufacture of goods, and that no
power, except hand or foot power, shall be used in the
workshops, except in the making of goods used in the
prison.
The importance of the law to the carpet trade lies in the
fact that but 20 per cent of the convicts are now allowed
to manufacture cocoa mats and mattings. As is well
known in the trade, the Western Penitentiary at Pittsburg
has been for some years an important factor in this industry.
CARPET AND WOOL IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.
IjiPORTS of woolen carpeting for the eleven months end-
ing November 30, 1897, amounted to 417,563 square
yards, valued at $908,468. Imports of carpet wool in the
same time were 94.895,358 pounds, valued at $9,886,684.
The imports of carpeting for the corresponding period in
1896 were 462,300 square yards, valued at $702,817, and
the imports of carpet wool were 62,680,160 pounds, valued
at $5,987,780.
The exports of American carpeting during the eleven
months ending November, 1897, amounted to 263,763
yards, valued at $200,307. For the same period of 1896
the exports were 271,307 yards, valued at $195,264.
T
FINE CUT CARPETS.
HE cut order department of Lord & Taylor has become
a very important source of supply for a great many
leading retail houses throughout the country. The ad-
vantages enjoyed by this house in purchasing goods at the
very lowest prices and in carrying a large stock enable
them to attract the trade in values and prompt shipments.
It is a rare case indeed when an order is not shipped on the
day it is received. The department is being devoted to
fine carpets particularly, the line for spring consisting of
Victoria Wiltons, Whittall Wiltons, Hartford and Worces-
ter Wiltons and Washington Wiltons; Victoria Brussels,
Whittall and Worcester Brussels, Sanford Wilton Velvet
and Sanford Velvets. The quality of these makes is un-
questioned, and Lord & Taylor show them in many private
patterns, as well as in a general line. For satisfactory
service in obtaining fine cut carpets we can assuredly rec-
ommend the trade to this concern.
Joseph Wild & Co. have advanced the prices of their
sheep skin mats. The new price list will be found on
page 72 .
The January number of The Pilot, a bright and handsome
monthly paper published by the Old Dominion Steamship

formation. They are advised to note especially the details
given concerning the short sea trips and winter excursions
provided by the company's steamships. Write to W. L.

PACIFIC SLOPE NOTES.
The retail trade is very quiet, which is always the case just
after the holidays. Buyers are now leaving for the East, and in a
couple of months new stock will be coming
into town. The dealers are hopeful of a
better trade this year, and if California
has good crops there is no doubt that all
lines will be much improved.
H. C. Keedy has opened a furniture store at Davenport, Wash.
Harvey Heiss, of New York, was in town during the holidays, and
enjoyed a good trade.
Mr. Groom has taken the late Frank Lane's place on the Coast for
H. L. Judd & Co., and is doing a fine business.
Cliarles E. Fredericks, of Joseph Fredericks & Co., left last week
for the Grand Rapids factories and New York.
W. A. Ristenpart will leave for the East to-night on a purchasing
trip in the interest of the furniture department of W. & J. Sloane
& Co.
James Field, formerly of Field & McNaughton, proprietors of the
upholstery department in the Emporium, is now traveling on this
Coast for W. T. Smith & Son.
The will of the late Chas. M. Plum has been filed for probate.
The estate is estimated to be worth over $75,000, and §50,000 of that
amount is left in specific legacies to near relatives.
Since N. L. Walden has returned from the East he has been push-
ing his elegant line of Sanford & Sons' goods, and meeting with his
usual success. He has just returned from a Coast trip.
William Mackay. agent for Arnold, Constable & Co., has enjoyed
a big trade in Bigelow Axminster and Lowell Brussels carpets. He
has been fortunate in securing also the agency of Dornan Brothers
recently.
After the closing of the books for 1897 in the carpet department of
the Emporium and Golden Rule Bazaar, of which W. F. Cordes, of
the carpet and furniture department, is sole owner, a gain of 50 per
cent, during the past six months was shown.
W. G. Barr, president of China Hall, Stockton, Cal., will open a
carpet store at No. 330 Sutter street, this citv.
Barker Brothers, the carpet and furniture dealers, of Los Angeles,
Cal., will soon move into a five story building almost opposite to the
large establishment of Niles Pease. Barker Brothers' new store will
take rank with the fine furniture stores in the State.
The planing mill and furniture factory of S. S. Whitney at San
Bsrnardino, Cal., was destroyed by fire caused by an overturned
glue lamp. The loss is about, $15,000, with an insurance of about
$8,000. This factory fire came very near causing the destruction of
the entire business section of the city. As it was, $75,000 damage
was sustained by surrounding property. Mr. Whitney has been in
Los Angeles, Cal., recently, looking for a site on which to rebuild
his establishment in that city. Golden Gate.
The Rotary carpet cleaning machine, manufactured by
F. H. Good, 942 and 944 North Ninth street, Philadelphia
enables carpet and upholstery goods dealers to add a most
profitable branch to their business at little cost. Write to
Mr. Good for price lists and further details. He can in-
terest you.
The number of persons employed in factories and work-
shops in the United Kingdom in 1895 is given at 4,102,485.
Textile factory hands number 1,975,751 . In the textile
industry females outnumber the male employees, the
proportion being 61.7 per cent. In " non-textile " fac-
tories males greatly preponderate, though the proportion
of females advanced from 15.5 in 1890 to 17 9 percent, in
1895.— Ex.

ATTRACTING CUSTOMERS.
AN ENGLISH FIRM'S NEW AND PECULIAR SCHEME.
AS an advertisement of their business the firm of Peter &
Evans, proprietors of a large department store at
Brixton, England, are now requiring their saleswomen to
dress so as to represent characters in various theatrical
productions, such as "Trilby," "The Geisha," "The
Shop Girl," &c. The salesmen are all dressed in
the uniform of the Cape Mounted Riflemen. We
have not learned whether the idea has proved
remunerative or not to the originators, and as
saleswomen are not employed in the carpet busi-
ness in this country, our retail dealers would
therefore be unable to present what is doubtless
the most attractive part of the English firm's scheme. But
among our salesmen there is certainly material for a varied
and interesting display, as, for instance, in the matterof na-
tional costumes. The numerous representatives of the Mac-
Gregors, MacDonalds and other Scottish clans in the trade
would make a most imposing appearance in kilts, &c., until
mosquitoes are in season, and although some legs might take
on a bluish tint on particularly cold days, that is a detail
easily provided for by those who remember and act upon
the historic remark of the Governor of North Carolina to
the Governor of South Carolina. The dress of the Irish
lad, as shown in the Irish plays of the day,
would form a handsome and appropriate cos-
tiune for many of the most brilliant lights in
the trade. Whei'e something still more im-
posing is desired the royal robes of Erin's
ancient kings might be in many cases fitly
donned. Spain is but sparsely represented
among carpet men, but the dress of the torea-
dor, as in " Carmen," would be quite effective for any
swarthy member of the trade. The character of Don
Juan, in Mozart's opera, calls for another attractive cos-
tume, but the austere morals of our salesmen would prob-
ably prompt them to frown upon this suggestion. Ger-
many could be strongly and finely represented,
the handsome garb of the Tyrol being one
especially effective and appropriate for a num-
ber of melodious warblers and yodelers in
the carpet fraternity'. France, Italy, Turkey,
Greece and Armenia could all be
represented in the trade, and the
general effect would certainly equal
in splendor the finest wax figure show ever
given by Artemus Ward.
The wholesale trade could make a still more
attractive display on account of the greater
number of the fair sex employed in it as stenog-
raphers, bookkeepers, &c. The feminine charac-
ters in such plays as "The Girl from Paris,"
" French Maid," " Circus Girl" or "As You Like
It " afford ample opportunities for the display of
perfectly lovely costumes and — &c.
It is indeed possible that the Merchants' Asso-
ciation, if its attention is called to it, may take
some action in this matter in connection with its other
schemes for bringing buyers to New York.
THE ANTI-SCALPING BILL
WILLIAM F. King, president of the Merchants' Associa-
tion, accompanied by William R. Corwine, of its
press department, and by James B. Dill, counsel, went re-
cently to Washington. Mr. King appeared before the
Senate Committee on Inter-State Commerce, before which
the bill known as the Anti-Scalping bill is pending, and
gave his views on the subject.
The Merchants' Association is opposed to the theory and
practice of scalping. The board of directors of the Mer-
chants' Association passed a resolution a short time ago
favoring the passage of the bill and instructed their officers
and counsel to do all in their power to aid the bill in its
course through Congress.
Copies of this resolution were sent to all non-resident
members of the Merchants' Association — some 27,000 in
number — to each member of both houses of Congress, to
every railway president, vice-president, general freight and
general passenger agent in the country, and further pub-
licity was given to the resolution through the press. The
men who are now at the head of the Merchants' Association
were active last spring in aiding the passage of the Anti-
Scalping Bill in the Legislature of this State, and in secur-
ing the signature of the Governor to the bill.
AT WILD'S.
THERE are several lines at Joseph Wild & Co.'s which
wise buyers will find it profitable to inspect. In the
all wool Astoria Art carpets the line contains a large num-
ber of new designs in all sizes and a wide variety of shad-
ings.
In Smyrna rugs and carpets in three grades all regular
sizes are shown as well as hall runners in any lengths.
The American Linoleum Company, for which Joseph
Wild & Co. are sole agents, are making five grades — A,
B, C, D and E, and have numerous attractive designs in
each weight, with new color effects in all.
C^ C, Perry has withdrawn as the St. Louis representa-
tive of the Lamond & Robertson Company.
McCALLUM & McCALLUM.
THE entire output of McCallum & McCallum's Glen
Echo Mills is sold up to the full capacity of their
looms for months to come, and it may be said that their
Wiltons and Brussels are more popular than ever with the
trade. Quiet beauty without gorgeousness are the leading
features of the new designs and colors. Handsome scrolls
upon various grounds are conspicuous among them, shades
of green being prominent. Their offerings in Indian
designs and colors are decidedly unique and rich. There
is no doubt that the Glen Echo Wiltons and Brussels will
hold their own against any similar productions at home or
abroad. Only the best materials are allowed to go into them.
The Glen Echo Extra Ingrains have been so long and so
favorably known to the trade that it is needless for us to add
one word of praise or try to increase their popularity ; but we
will say that the "Arras Tapestries" stand well to the
front among the new weaves of Philadelphia and else-
where. The way in which the "Brussels effects" are
brought out in this new fabric is something wonderful. The
demand continues excellent for the Byzantine rugs and
carpets.

EXTENSIVE REPAIRS.
HE Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company is
making extensive repairs and changes
in its factory at Grand Rapids,
Mich. The managers are
putting in a new engine with
a capacity of 330 horse power
and one new boiler. Their
old engine was of only 150
horse power. They retain in
use two of the old boilers,
which are of modern design,
and the third one is of like
capacity and design. They
are putting in an entirely new
foundation for the boilers and
engine, having torn out all
the old foundation and begun
the new on the bed rock.
They have also put in a new
system of shafting and belting throughout the factory,
belting to be used will be of cable^or rope.
HENRY HOLMES AND HIS BOYS.
ONCE upon a time a wise old French philosopher formulated the following proposition :
"A woman is as old as she looks, a man is as old as he feels " Judged by this
standard Henry Holmes is only a boy, and yet the record shows that he is — not in point
of years, but in continuous service — the oldest carpet manufacturer in Philadelphia.
He is now entering on the forty-first year of his business career — a career that has
been marked by progress, independence and an adherence to the most absolute
standard of integrity, both as a man, a maker and a master.
In 1857 he started his small shop on Hope street, near Jefferson, and later, with well
won success behind him, moved to Hancock street. About fifteen years ago he set up the
Sherman Mills at Trenton avenue and Auburn street, where on January 1
he took into partnership his two sons, Arthur C. and Harry Russell
Holmes, and the Sherman Mills will hereafter be operated under the style
of Henry Holmes & Sons.
The fruit never falls far from the stem, and the father is a sufficient
guarantee for the sons. Both of the young men
have been trained in the best commercial and
manufacturing methods, have learned every
detail of the Ingrain production and are thor-
oughly equipped for the work of keeping up the
reputation of the concern.
It should be remembered that while Henry
Holmes has been steadily building up his busi-
ness and earning a competency — no Philadelphia
carpet manufacturer ever made a profit — he has
lived by the way. Several times he has crossed
the ocean and revisited the scenes of his boy-
hood. So far as we know he
never broke a promise, if we
except the time when he
crossed Joshua Gregg on the
Atlantic, and even then he
wanted the captain to stop the
ship in mid- Atlantic and trans-
fer him so that he could keep
his engagement in Paris. He
has made many friends, and
if he has any enemies they
listen to earless audiences. Mr.
HENRY HOLMES.
The new
Advices from Shewan, Tomes & Co. , of Canton, as regards the
China matting market, say under date of December 4 that several
new orders have been received since their last advices, and the
market is strong. No fresh settlements are reported, as only April-
May delivery can be obtained, and dealers not wishing to run
any risk are quoting high prices. An all round increase in prices is
maintained and a further rise may be expected. Contracts remain
at 220,000 rolls.
The Newfield Smyrna Rug Company, manufacturers of Smyrna
and Soudan rugs and carpets, Newfield, N. J., show a fine line of
these goods for the spring trade in all sizes, from single door mats
to 9x12 carpets. J. G. Burrows & Co., who are sole agents for the
goods, have the complete line on view at their New York salesroom,
343 Broadway, and it deserves the prompt attention of buyers.
HARRY RUSSELL HOLMES.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
Holmes is once more going to take a' needed vaca-
tion and will visit the new empire which, since he began
his business life, has grown up on the shores of the Pacific.
He can safely take a well earned rest, for he leaves his
business in competent hands.
ENGLISH NOTES.
The Kidderminster Shuttle of the 35th ult. says :
" This has been a busy week, completing special Christ-
mas orders. The quantity of goods dispatched from the
carpet mills has been very considerable. Now there will
be a lull. The Christmas holidays will extend from Fri-
day evening till Wednesday morning, and in some cases
machinery will not be re-started till the following morn-
ing. Wool continues to harden in value, and spinners are
obliged to refuse some of the offers made, insisting upon
1-8, and in some instances 1-4, more than offered."
The directors of John Crossley & Sons, Limited, Hali-
fax, have decided to recommend that after providing for
payment of the dividend on the preference shares at the
rate of 5 per cent, per annum, there be paid a dividend of
4s. 6d. per share on the ordinary shares, which, with the
dividend of 2s. 6d. per share paid on them in August last,
is ecj^ual to 7 per cent, for the year ended December 11,
1897. The profits, including ;;^924 16s. 6d. brought for-
ward from last year, amount to _;^67, 822 8s. lOd., to which
it is proposed to add from reserve fund No, 2 ;!^4,000,
making a total of _;^71,822 8s. lOd. The above dividends
requiring the sum of _^71,278 4s., a balance of ;^544 4s.
lOd. will be carried forward to next year.
The British Carpet Trade.
In its annual review of the carpet trade of 1897 the
Shuttle, of Kidderminster, England, says:
Taking a general review of the textile industries for 1897, it must
be admitted that the year as a whole cannot be classed as a good
one. The output has been below the average, and many concerns
during the last few months have either been on short time or a con-
siderable portion of their machinery has been standing. This
means a heavy loss in any trade where expensive machinery is used,
or the so-called dead charges are high. In some branches there was
a feverish rush early in the year to get goods into the United States
in anticipation of the Diugley tariff law. This had the effect of
clearing out many English warehouses, but now very little trade in
manufactured goods is being done with the States; nor can much be
expected under present circumstances. The regular markets also
seem to have fallen off of late in their demand for goods. It is hard
to fix upon the exact cause. No doubt the disastrous industrial
struggle which still continues has exercised some influence. Then,
during the j-ear people have spent large suras in connection with the
Diamond Jubilee celebrations, and left less for the support of textile
trades. The terrible famine and plague in India, the unsettled con-
dition of affairs in South Africa, and the almost universal trade
depression in the countries around us have exercised depressing
influences. Without being over sanguine, however, there are distinct
indications of improvement with the new year. The progress may
be slow, but the movements of the last few weeks, as we have
several times pointed out, have to a large extent restored confidence,
and if we could see a settlement of the labor question business
would be quickened. Prices in all classes of goods are low. This
should stimulate consumption, and, with freedom from international
complications, we can confidently look to 1898 to prove commercially
a better and brighter year than the one which closes to-day.
The trade in Wiltons and Brussels has been fairly well maintained.
Each year more clearly demonstrates the fact that the carpet trade
is a seasonable one, and both manufacturers and weavers should now
recognize this tendency. While it must be admitted that there are
fewer looms in work at the close than at the beginning of the year,
owing to the unfortunate closing of one or two local firms and the
reduction in number by some of the larger firms, the volume of trade
done has been considerable. Over-production, with the inevitable
cutting in prices, has to a large extent disappeared. The trade has
on the whole been healthy in tone, with prices well maintained and
in some qualities even increased. The competition from outside
quarters has been less felt than in some previous years, if we except
the European markets. In these countries, particularly Spain, native
manufacturers have met local needs, and in a few instances the
over-supply has found its way into our markets. No doubt more
was expected from the jubilee year than has been realized, but the
outlook for the immediate future is regarded on all hands as dis-
tinctly promising. The new season has opened late, and orders
usually placed in October and November have in some cases been
deferred till January. While the engineers' strike has not directly
affected our local trade, it has indirectly checked the home demand
for carpets, and the effects will probably be more keenly felt in the
spring. The markets are steady, and both at home and in Austra-
lia, Canada and South Africa the prospects are bright and encourag-
ing. There is no doubt of a strong growing preference in the
colonies for English made carpets.
Trade in the various kinds of Axminsters has been decidedly good
throughout the year. The volume of business done has exceeded that
of last year, even if it has not reached the total of 1895. The orders
booked by the travelers who have recently returned home have been
more varied and larger in the aggregate than for years past, and
everyone looks forward with confidence and hopefulness to the
future. There has been in various ways a considerable increase in
machinery, and we hear of other firms who propose at an early date
to erect a plant for the production of Axminster carpet. In one
respect this is to be regretted, because it means a diminution of male
and an increase of female labor in our midst.
THE TAFT CARPET SEWING MACHINE.
THE carpet sewing machine, invented and manufacttired
by J. C. Taft, 40 Friendship street, Providence, R. I.,
is constantly growing in popularity among the trade. It
can be operated by hand, electric or steam power. It
sews every way, and sews everthing the correct way. The
sewing is done with the elastic stitch only. It sews In-
grains over and over, giving a perfect imitation of hand
work, but stronger and more even. It sews Wiltons,
Brussels and Tapestries with a straight stitch, and sews
Japanese matting and fibre carpets, over-cast to lay flat.
For further details concerning the special features of this
machine, write to Mr. Taft, whose advertisement is on page
96 of this issue.
CROMPTON & KNOWLES LOOMS.
rHE Ingrain, Art Square and upholstery looms, made at
the Crompton & Knowles loom works, Worcester,
Mass., represent perfection in mechanical skill and in-
genuity in this department of machine making. The Art
Square looms are made in all widths, and the upholstery
looms are adapted for ftirniture coverings, curtains, dra-
peries, portieres, &c. Write to the works for further par-
ticulars.

THE HIGGINS COMPANY'S NEW SALESROOMS.
NEW LINOLEUM PLANT.
THE removal of the E. S. Higgins Carpet Company's
selling headquarters in this city from the old stand in
White street to the new and handsome salesrooms at 41
Union square, corner of Seventeenth street, is announced
in its advertisement on the colored sheet opposite page 8 of
this issue, and will be regarded as another illustration of
the progressive spirit which the company is showing under
its present energetic and able management.
The building at 84 White street was first occupied for
the sale of the Higgins carpets in 1868, and until the
present date has served as the centre for their sale and
shipment. Hereafter the goods will be shipped direct
from the factory, and the spacious premises at 41 Union
square west will be used as salesrooms and offices.
The old store in White street was opened by the firm
of E. S. Higgins & Co., composed of Elias S. and
Nathaniel Higgins. The foundation of the business was
laid January 1, 1837, when Elias S. Higgins, in partner-
ship with his brother Alvin, opened a retail carpet store
on Pearl street, near Madison street. Three years later
they opened a small Ingrain factory, and from this small
mill was developed the immense manufacturing business
now controlled by the E. S. Higgins Carpet Company, in
which Eugene Higgins, son of Elias S. Higgins, is presi-
dent, and R. P. Perkins (whose portrait appears on this
page) is vice-president and act-
ing head of the company. Mr.
Perkins is young, energetic and
exceptionally c[ualified for his
position, being a first-class
business man, an expert on
wools and equally well versed
in carpet manufacture. He has
in George S. Squire, an espe-
cially efficient assistant in all
the technical details of the
trade.
In its new and spacious sales-
rooms the company will have
greatly increased facilities for
the effective display of goods,
the premises having a fine
north light, and being admir-
ably adapted in all other
respects for the showing of
samples to advantage. The main
salesroom is 30x175 feet and the
wing in the rear is 22x92 feet.
The wing will be used for show-
ing Ingrains, and the Tapestries
and Velvets will be displayed
on the main floor. A large
reception room, with tables,
chairs, &c., is provided 'for the
convenience of the firm's cus-
tomers.
The trade are advised to see
the new salesrooms and the
goods (which are now on view)
as soon as possible.
I^HE Trenton Oil Cloth Company, Trenton, N. J., who
have heretofore manufactured table and enameled
oil cloth, will shortly add the manufacture of linoleum to
their business. They have erected six new substantial
buildings for that purpose, which they expect to occupy
about March 1. Of the buildings three are four stories
high, one being 130x50, while two more are respectively
80x64 and 65x65. They have two small structures, one
to be used as a printing shop and another for mixing.
The new plant will have no connection with the oil cloth
works of the Trenton Company in its manufacturing con-
veniences, and will operate entirely with its own engines
and boiler. New and latest improved machinery will be
put in, and it is said the machinery will contain ideas not
in use in this country heretofore. The company does
not contemplate the manufacture of floor oil cloths at the
present time, but will turn out a line of solid and inlaid
linoleums as soon as the machinery is in operation.
The product of the new company will be sold directly
from the mills, the sale and manufacturing of the same
being directed personally by E. D. Cook, who holds the
office of general manager and treasurer, the president
being his brother, G. R. Cook, who is well known from
his financial connection with the Empire Rubber Works.
The new departure of the company is another sign of
the increasing popularity of lino-
leum as a floor covering.

There was only one exhibit
made by wholesale carpet deal-
ers at the Grand Rapids Fvirni-

A DAILY paper tells the fol-
lowing story about one of the
latest " wonderful inventions" :
"Millard F. Field, of Newport,
Me., has invented a machine
for drawing in warps for looms,
and has sold a third interest in
his patent to B. P. Cheney, of
Boston, Mass., for $100,000. It
gauges its work automatically,
and it draws in 2,000 ends prop-
erly in seven minutes, some-
thing that would require the
most expert workman about
three hours to perform."

David O. Swire.
David O. Swire, the widely known and popialar head of
the carpet manufacturing firm of Swire & Scott, Phila-
delphia, was instantly killed by being run over at a rail-
road crossing in the northern part of that city on the 6th
inst. Mr. Swire had been spending the day at his mill,
as usual, and was walking through York street on his way
to his home, 2141 North Thirteenth street, when he
reached the fatal crossing.
Mr. Swire was born in Pennsylvania fifty-one years ago.
He went into business for himself in 1883 after spend-
ing a number of years as salesman for Thos. L. Leedom
& Co. The new firm was first Shaw, Swire & Scott, and
Mr. Scott had also been with Leedom & Co. for a long
period as mill superintendent. Shaw, Swire & Scott
quickly made a reputation as producers of Ingrains and
specialists in Ingrain Art Squares. Mr. Swire was even
more successful as a salesman for his own firm's goods
than for others. He had never fully given up his road
trips, although during the past few years he had done but
little traveling. He had excellent business ability, and was
a skilled judge of salable patterns.
David Swire was one of the group of successful carpet
travelers who controlled the road trade and held the good
will of the buyers in the late seventies and early eighties,
and was one of the few whose success was uninterrupted,
and who became the head of a prosperous business. Mr.
Shaw retired from the firm in 1889, and its name was
changed to Swire & Scott. Mr. Shaw died in 1892.
The funeral services of Mr. Swire were held at his late res-
idence on the 10th inst. , and were very largely attended.
Among those present were many from the numerous
benevolent societies of which he was a member. The
carpet trade was represented by Messrs. Geo. D. Bromley,
John Hamilton, Geo. Fry, William Henderson, William
Scott, Geo. D. Irwin, Robert Carson, John W. Martin,
Thomas Develon, Lewis Herring, Joseph W. Adams and
many others.
The services were conducted by Rev. Chas. A, Morgan,
former pastor of the Spring Garden Baptist Church, with
which the decedent had been connected. The burial,
which was private, was at Westminster Cemetery. A
delegation from the Masonic Lodge of which Mr. Swire

Robert B. Judge.
Robert B. Judge, only surviving member of the Ingrain
carpet manufacturing firm of William Judge & Brothers,
Philadelphia, died suddenly of apoplexy on the 8th inst. at
his home in that city.
Mr. Judge had been in feeble health for a year past, but
had somewhat improved during the last few weeks, and
was in particularly good spirits when he visited the mill
at an early hour on the morning of his death. While at
the mill he became weak and returned to his residence,
about a square away, where he was met by Dr. Robert B.
Judge, a nephew, who saw that the illness would result
fatally and notified the family. He soon became imcon-
scious and passed away at about 9 o'clock in the morning.
Mr. Judge was one of the best known and most re-
spected citizens of the old Kensington district, and held
high positions in various organizations. He was promi-
nent in the Masonic order, was for years vestryman at
Emmanuel Protestant Episcopal Church, Marlborough
street, above Girard avenue. He was also a member of
the Manufacturers' Club and other associations.
He was born in Ireland, fifty-eight years ago, and came
to this country when he was sixteen years of age. He en-
gaged with his elder brothers in the carpet manufacturing
business, and at the age of twenty-one was admitted into the
firm. The plant was enlarged from time to time until
1881, when the present large building was erected to ac-
commodate the increasing trade. ■
The funeral services were held at his late home on the
11th inst. and were very largely attended. They were
conducted by Rev. L. D. Smith, Rector of Emanuel
P. E. Church. The remains were interred in Central
Laurel Hill Cemetery. Delegates from the Shekinah, No.
246, F. D. A. M. and Harmony Lodge, No. 20, A. P. A.,
and the numerous operatives of the mill were present at
the funeral, as were also the survivors of the old Volunteer
Taylor Hose Company, of which Mr. Judge was a member.
Among the carpet manufacturers and those more or less
connected with their industry who were present were:
Messrs. Robert Dornan, T. Benton Dornan, Geo. D.
Bromley, Wm. D. Huston, John Boyd, Geo. S. Campbell,
Joseph W. Adams, John F. Lodge, James Whitaker, A.
Flanigan, Geo. S. Jenks, John Hamilton, David Jackson,
Isaac Wilde, Joseph Hoffman, Thomas Taylor, James
Galbraith, Thomas Develon, Robert Develon, F. McGee,
Geo. D. Irwin, Edwd. C. Read, Thomas Boggs, Robert
Carson, William Scott, William Jamison, Isaac Lockhart,
George Carveany, and Andrew Cochran.
Mr. Judge leaves six children, among whom are William

B. and Robert Judge, Jr., who are associated in the man-
agement of the mill. A sister also survives him.
Frank H. Randall.
Frank H. Randall, vice-president of the R. H. & B. C.
Reeve Company and superintendent of its linoleum and
floor oil cloth works at Camden, N. J., died in that city
on the 4th inst.
He was born in Vermont in 1857 and went to Camden
in early boyhood, when his father, the late Levi B. Ran-
dall, was engaged as foreman for the oil cloth works
operated by Messrs. R. H. & B. C. Reeve. At the age of
about fifteen or sixteen years Mr, Randall entered the
employ of the Messrs. Reeve to learn block cutting and
rose from that work to become foreman of the hand
printing department of their oil cloth factory, his father
being at that time foreman of the entire works. Upon
the resignation of his father in 1890, he was made
foreman of the oil cloth works, and this place he
retained until Messrs. R. H. Reeve and B. C. Reeve re-
tired in 1892. The business was continued from May 2,
1892, still under the old name, although conducted by Mr.
A. H. Reeve only, at which time Mr. F. H. Randall was
made superintendent of the works. This position he re-
tained, being especially active in substituting power print-
ing for the old methods of printing by hand, and when
the firm of R. H. & B. C. Reeve was merged into a stock
company on January 4, 1897, he was elected superin-
In fact, until twelve years of age he never had a pair of
shoes nor a suit of " store" clothes. His earliest employ-
ment was as a clerk in a store, his stipend being
tendent of the works and vice-president of the company.
He was identified with various Masonic orders in Cam-
den. He became ill in November last and since that time
had been able to give but little attention to business.
Judson H. Black.
Judson H. Black, for many years a leading member
of the carpet trade of Detroit, died at his home in that city,
December 26, of apoplexy.
Mr. Black was born in Canada about sixty years ago.
His parents were Scotch people in poor circumstances.
year. When seventeen years of age he and his employer
went into business together, but the venture was disastrous,
and young Black then came to the United States.
After a short stay in New York city he went South, and
when nineteen years old had become a traveling salesman
and buyer for a large sugar house, and had paid all the
debts incurred by his failure in Canada. Then the war
broke out, and he joined the Confederate Army as chief
of staff to General Forrest.
In 1865 Mr. Black went to Bufl;alo, N Y., and engaged
in the carpet business. Five years later he was employed
by Freedman Brothers, of Detroit, where he remained
three years, after which he started in the business as a
member of the firm of Barclay & Black. Later the firm
style .was changed to J. H. Black & Co. When W. H.
Fletcher & Co. started in business in New York city, Mr.
Black bought the first lot of goods sold by the new firm,
having come from Detroit to do so, and to show his
friendly feeling for the head of the house, the late W. H.
Fletcher.
Four years ago Black & Co. became financially em-
barrassed, and gave up business. Mr. Black went to Can-
ada, and joined his brother, who had a stock farm there,
but afterward entered the carpet trade again as agent at
Toronto for several American manufacturers. The en-
terprise was not very successful, and about a year and a
half ago Mr. Black returned to Detroit, where he engaged
in the grocery business, and continued in it until his
death.
He was a widower, and leaves no children. He was a
member of the Detroit Commandery, Knights Templar
and an Elk.

William T. Buckley, formerly of the firm of Dunham,
Buckley & Co., dry goods and carpet jobbers, New York,

shot and killed himielf in a boathouse near his country
home at Far Rockaway, L. I., on the 6th inst. His
family say that the wound was inflicted accidentally while
he was shooting seagulls, but his recent retirement from
the firm with which he had been connected for twenty-three
years has given many the impression that he committed
suicide.
Mr. Buckley was fifty years old. He was a son of
the late Thomas T. Buckley, who was a member of the
old firm of Buckley, Welling & Co. After leaving college,
William Buckley entered the store of Buckley, Welling &
Co., and remained with them until 1875, when he became
a member of the firm of Dunham, Buckley & Co., who
are successors of the old and noted house of Phelps, Chit,
tenden & Bliss, which was established in 1840. In 1854
Mr. Chittenden retired and the firm style was changed to
Phelps, Bliss & Co. In 1861 Mr. Phelps withdrew, and
James H. Dunham was admitted as a partner, the firm
name being changed to George Bliss & Co. In 1861
the name became Eldridge, Dunham & Co., Mr. Bliss re-
tiring then, and when Mr. Buckley entered the firm its
style was changed to Dunham, Buckley & Co., this name
being retained until December 31, 1897, when the firm was
reorganized without Mr. Buckley, under the present name
of James H. Dunham & Co.
Mr. Buckley's city home was at 3 West Sixteenth street.
He was a member of the Union League Club, the Cen-
tury, the Players', the Merchants', the Down Town
Association, the South Side Sportsmen's, the Rockaway
Hunt, the Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club, and the
Dunlap Society. He leaves a widow and one son, who is
a student at Princeton University.
H. Flint, of Bristol, at whose home the subject of this
sketch died.
Henry S. Flint.
Dr. Henry Sanborn Flint, who died at the residence of
his son in Bristol, R. I., December 12, was born in 1821
in North Reading, Mass. His father, Henry Flint, moved
to Peacham, Vt., when Henry was about twelve years of
age. When he reached the age of eighteen he shipped on
a whaler for three years from Salem, Mass. Upon his re-
turn from that voyage he enlisted in the navy for three
years. Upon the expiration of his term of service he went
to work in a machine shop in East Boston. In 1849, when
gold was discovered in California, he sailed around Cape
Horn to the new Eldorado, and engaged in mining. He
next ran a sloop from San Francisco to Sacramento before
there were any steamers on the coast. He remained in
California two years. He then returned to Peacham, Vt ,
and bought a farm. At the end of two years he moved to
Northfield, Vt. He worked as an engineer on the Ver-
mont Central until he went to Providence, R. I., about
1862. Here he engaged in the carpet and furniture busi-
ness on the site now occupied by the Narragansett Hotel,
the firm name being Flint & Brown. In 1865 the firm
became Flint & Co., and in 1892 the Flint Company was
incorporated, and Henrj' S. Flint was chosen president.
The title of doctor was assumed at the time the firm manu-
factured Quaker Bitters from about 1880 to 1885, in order
to protect the trade mark. In the latter year this business
was disiDOsed of. Dr. Flint had four sons. One, Harvey
J. Flint, has died. The others are George H. Flint, of
Providence; Alonzo E. Flint, of Pawtucket, and Albert
A. Pearson.
Alexander Pearson, for twenty-five years engaged in
the carpet and furniture business on Myrtle avenue, Brook-
lyn, died suddenly on January 12 in the sixty-fifth year of
his age. The funeral services are to be held to-day at his
late residence on Seventh street. He married a daughter
of the late John F. Mason and sister of Isaac Mason, of the
Brooklyn Furniture Company, and leaves a large family
of sons and daughters. His sons have been connected
with him in business for some years past. Mr. Pearson
was a veteran member of Stella Lodge, F. and A. M.
Mamie J., oldest daughter of Jas. J. A. Callahan, man-
ager of the carpet department of the Brooklyn Furniture
Company, died on Christmas eve in her eighteenth year.
She was graduated from the grammar school in June, 1897,
and was at the time of her death a pupil in the girls' high
school. She was of a pleasant and happy disposition, a
more than ordinarily bright scholar, and ambitious to suc-
ceed in her studies.
THE MARCUS STAIR PADS AND LININGS.
THE offerings of M. H. Marcus & Brother, manufac-
turers of carpet linings, stair pads, comfortables, &c.,
have found a large demand in the trade of the season, and
the firm have every reason to be satisfied with the busi-
ness done to date They have just opened an office at 611
Washington street, Boston, which is in charge of their
New England agent, John Monroe. The trade of the
Eastern States will find this office a very convenient centre
for replenishing their stock of Marcus & Brothers' popular
specialties. The firm's complete line is shown, as usual,
at their New York headquarters, 115 Worth street. See
their advertisement on page 20 of this issue.
NEW ORIENTAL RUG HOUSE.
A& M. Karaghensi.a.n, who have conducted a general
• importing and exporting business at 71 Wall street,
are about to expand their Oriental rug business. They
will remove to new quarters at 365 and 367 Broadway
before February 1, and state that invoices of $80,000 to
$100,000 worth of rugs are now on the way, and will be
shown at the new salesroom.
Vartan Jinishian, well known to the trade through his
connection with other rug importers, is to manage the
rug department, and will return from the Oriental mar-
kets within a week, and will shortly have the new goods
in shape for the inspection of buyers.
F. B. Bru Baker continues alone as selling agent for
Thos. Caves & Sons' Keystone Velvets. James H. Whit-
taker retired from the firm of F. B. Bru Baker & Co. on
the 4th inst. Mr. Bru Baker is now at his office in the
Hartford Building, New York, attending to visiting buyers,
and will call upon the New England trade very shortly.
The Caves Velvets are winning favor through their su-
perior quality at the price and perfect matching. A visit
to the market is not complete without inspecting this line.

THE REMNANT SUPPLEMENT.
OUR annual Remnant Supplement will be published
February 15 next, and is certain to find a cordial
welcome in the trade. Some years ago carpet dealers had
more ways of disposing of remnants than is the case at
present. As one of our correspondents remarks, manu-
facturers of carpet bags and carriages once consumed a
considerable quantity, for which they have now no use.
With more vigilance than ever before necessary to find a
market for the odds and ends of their stocks, it is natural
that the carpet dealers should appreciate the help which
the Supplement gives them in this respect, and ample
proof to this effect is shown in the letters we receive at
this period of the year from dealers throughout the entire
country. Among a large number of these which have
recently come to us were the following :

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review:
Inclosed please find my list of remnants for insertion in your Rem-
nant list. I can only confirm from experience what I have heretofore
said, that of all "modern improvements" it is by no means the
least.
In the older days of the trade we had certain outlets for our rem-
nants which are closed to us now, viz., the carpet bag, and carriage
makers. Old Uncle Seth C. Thompson would come twice a year and
clean out every remnant, even thousands of yards. Now the carpet
bag is a curiosity and redolent of the " hayseed," and carriages have
specially made carpets to be up to date. Geo. B. Adams.

SHEET FLOOR OIL CLOTHS.
THEIR MANUFACTURE AND USE IN THE UNITED STATES.
N the manufacture of wide sheet
goods the floor oil cloth makers of
this country long ago attained a
very high standard as regards
weight, appearance and durability.
So well made were these goods
that forty or fifty years ago it was
a common practice to reprint them
after the figures had been partially
worn ofl:. A mechanic in Salem,
Mass., did so much of this work
for thrifty New England house-
wives that he found it worth while
to utilize an old church as a work-
shop.
The first manufacturer of the wide sheets in this country
was a Mr. Perkins, who opened a factory at Roxbury,
Mass., in 1840. Other manufacturers soon entered the
field, and important changes were made in the process of
manufacture, one being the substitution of the kiln for the
old open air process of hardening. The Perkins goods
were a reproduction of Hare's English sheets, which at
that time were in great demand in this country. They
were very heavy, and had a coarse, ribbed surface. A
veteran Boston dealer, speaking recently about the sheet
goods of his early days in the trade, said that their hand-
ling entailed a vast amount of hard work. They were
bought in New York and shipped to Boston on the decks
of sailing vessels, as the railroads had then no facilities for
handling such unwieldy freight. The vessels would ship
seas in rough weather, and consequently the sheets, al-
though inclosed in boxes, would frequently come to hand
wet from end to end with salt water. Then came night
work for all hands in the store, the entire sheet being un-
rolled, the wet paper removed, both sides wiped dry, and
dry papers substituted for the wet ones. On a sheet 24
feet wide and 90 feet long this kind of work was no child's
play.
Among the manufacturers who were prominent in the
manufacture of sheet goods were Albro & Hoyt, W. M.
Brasher & Co., Harvey Brothers, D. Powers & Sons, Theo.
Pomeroy, W. H. Townsend, R. C. Haskell & Co., Alden
Sampson & Sons, and Thos. Potter, vSons & Co.
R. C. Haskell & Co., of Lansingburgh, N. Y., were
especially successful in this branch of the floor oil cloth
trade, and are now the only manufacturers of the wider
sheet goods in the United States. Their business was es-
tablished by the late Robert C. Haskell, a man of liberal
education and versatile talent, who resigned a position as
professor of mathematics at Cohn College, to engage in the
manufacture of oil cloths as a partner in the firm of J. E.
Whipple & Co., Lansingburgh. Mr. Whipple died in 1866,
and Mr. Haskell continued the business at first on his own
account, and later in partnership with Mr. Charles S.
Holmes. On the death of Mr. Haskell, in May last, Mr.
Holmes became the sole proprietor of the business, but he
had been practically the head of the house for some years
previous on account of the bad health of Mr. Haskell.
The goods manufactured by R. C. Haskell & Co. are
sheets 9, 12, 15 and 18 feet wide, and in quality of fabric
and patterns they are undoubtedly superior to any others
now or ever manufactured. They are in large demand,
and are likely to become even more in request, for the call
for a floor covering made in one piece without seam is
steadily increasing, and the goods of Haskell & Co. in 12,
15 and 18 feet widths meet this demand perfectly, and are
in durability and appearance equal to the best linoleum.
JAMES W. BARKER FOUND.
As announced by the Philadelphia Press of the 8th inst.,
James W. Barker, of the Norristown (Pa.) Carpet
Mills, who disappeared about four vi'eeks ago, has been
found. The Press said that his son, Arthur Barker,
received on the 7th inst. a letter written by a friend of
the elder Barker, in which the writer states that Mr.
Barker is alive and well. The letter states that when
Mr. Barker left home his mind was unbalanced, and when
his recovery so far progressed that he was able to compre-
hend what was transpiring, he found himself several
hundred miles from Norristown. The letter seemed to
indicate that the writer had received word directly from
Mr. Barker or had seen him in person. It was also stated
that Mr. Barker is very solicitous for fear that his de-
parture might be attributed to improper motives. The
letter was postmarked East Hampton. Arthur Barker
in a letter to The Review, dated the 13th inst., says that
he has telegraphed for explicit directions of his father's
present whereabouts.
The writer of the letter is Samuel Brown, of East
Hampton, Mass., a former resident of Germantown. Ac-
cording to the letter, Mr. Barker since his disappearance
has assured Mr. Brown that he will pay all creditors dollar
for dollar.
The writer refuses to make known at present Mr.
Barker's residence, but assures the family that it is remote
from East Hampton. It is supposed by other persons
here that the remote place Mr. Brown refers to is Mon-
treal, Canada, in which city, it is said, Mr. Barker is
being treated in a hospital.
The bondholders will probably sell or lease the mill.
Two offers have already been made for it.
The most useful and attractive memorandum book and
case issued by any firm in the carpet trade for the year
1898 is that sent out by Costikyan Frferes, the Oriental
rug importers of 139 Broadway, New York. The case is
of leather, and contains a booklet of time tables of rail-
roads running out of New York, and other generally
valuable information. It is an excellent illustration of the
enterprising methods of this concern.

AN UNDESIRABLE AMENDMENT.
PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE STATE LAW RELATING TO THE INSTALMENT PLAN.
EFFORTS of G. C. Speranza
and Ernest Crosby to make
an important change in
the laws of this State re-
lating to purchases on the
instalment plan have
called forth a strong pro-
test in the form of a letter
to the New York Sun.
We give some extracts
from the letter, as follows:
Under the laws of this State
a person having possession of the property of another, whether un-
der a lease or under the instalment plan system, or on deposit, who
disposes of that property and converts the proceeds to his own uses,
is guilty of conversion, and a judgment taken in civil action against
him, if unpaid, is a judgment not only against the property of the
delinquent, but against the delinquent as well, and, if unsatisfied,
he may be committed to the county jail, which is Ludlow Street Jail,
for non-payment. In other words, a purchaser of property "on the
instalment plan " must, as his contract provides, pay for the articles
which he acquires, or, failing to pay for them or unwilling to do so,
must return them.
Now, in many cases (and these are the cases to which Mr. Spe-
ranza and Mr. Crosby are giving their attention) the purchaser neither
completes his payments nor returns the articles. Whether from
need, carelessness, misfortune, dishonesty or resentment, he sells the
article which he has not yet purchased, applies the proceeds to his
own uses, and leaves the seller without any redress, except such as
the law gives him, to take a judgment for the sum owed against the
purchaser. The suit for recovery of judgmtnt is brought in the
ordinary way, and if, of course, the instalment plan purchaser has
any defense to it, that defense is heard. If, as is usually the case
he has no defense, judgment is entered against him, and he mus
either pay the amount due or be subjected to imprisonment. The
ground taken by Mr. Speranza and Mr. Crosby is that the system is
odious and reprehensible, and they propose to ameliorate its rigors
by the enactment of a statute " allowing imprisonment for debt onl)'
in amounts exceeding §25."
The absurdity of this proposition, it seems to me, must suggest
itself to everybody except a " social reformer." The improvident or
dishonest purchaser of goods on the instalment plan who "sells"
property which is not his, either in law or in fact, would not be slow
to avail himself of his exemption. If he bought, for instance, fur-
niture or dry goods to the value of $50 he would make his instal-
ment payments until the debt was within $35. Then he would be
at liberty to repudiate it, and there woLild be no method known to
law whereby it could be collected. This would put an end, not to
the business of sales on the instalment plan, for they would go on
practically as before, but to sales to those to whom at present the
instalment plan of purchase is most beneficial, and, moreover, there
would be started a decided innovation in law and ethics. The man
who converted to his own uses property to the value of more than
$i5 could be imprisoned for such action, but the man who converted
to his own uses property of less value than $25 would go, as it were,
scot free. This would clearly be, in such cases, a premium upon
fraud ; but I am very far from alleging or suggesting that those who
advocate this change desire to establish such exemption. The
trouble with them is that they do not understand the workings of
the system, which, in good faith but in ignorance, they desire to
" reform."
I am very well aware that there are evils connected with the in-
stalment plan system as there are with most other systems of human
origin. It costs a dealer more to sell on the instalment plan than it
does for cash. He is compelled to pay agents and collectors, to run
a considerable risk of losses, to turn his invested capital slowly, to
have extra accounting and bookkeeping expenses, and to suffer from
the wear and tear of the goods dealt in. Necessarily, these ad-
tidional expenses fall collectively on the purchaser, who must pay
more for goods bought on the instalment plan than he would for
the same goods if bought for what is called " spot cash." But off-
setting these disadvantages are many advantages under the mstal-
raent plan system. It has proved, in practical operation, of great
benefit to young householders and to many working for small
wages. It has been applied with success in many of the large
stores, particularly in the sale of furniture. It has been a potent
agent of popularity in the introduction, so general in this country,
of sewing machines and pianos; and in the city of New York,
which, bdcause of its peculiar geographical formation is now and is
likely always to be to a great extent a city of tenement houses and
small apartments, it has flourished greatly.
The intentions of Mr. Speranza and Mr. Crosby a;e excellent, no
doubt, but what they don't know about the sales of goods on the in-
stalment plan would, I think, fill Prospect Park or Gowanus Bay.
PLANET MILLS' HEMP CARPETS AND MATTINGS.
TJ. Kevenev & Co., agents for the Planet Mills' hemp
. carpets and Napier mattings, have the complete

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT OF CLAFLIN COMPANY.
THE H. B. Claflin Company's report for the six months
ending December 31, 1897, has been issued, and
shows a material increase in their profits as compared
with the corresponding period of 1896. The report is as
follows:
To the Stockholders :
During July intense dullness prevailed, but early in August trade
became remarkably active, and until the outbreak of yellow fever in
the South our business was thoroughly satisfactory. Thereafter
quarantine regulations and the fall of cotton goods to lower prices
than ever before recorded greatly reduced our profits.
The following figures, taken from the treasurer's report, show the
financial condition of the corporation on December 31, 1897, and the
proposed distribution of profits, with comparisons added for the cor-
responding half years of 1896 and 1895:

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
XLhc Carpet Sweeper,
EORGE E. Brett, dealer in dry
goods, carpets, &c., Man-
kato, Minn., has made a
voluntary assignment. His
liabilities are about $200,-
000. The assignment was
brought about by depre-
ciated values of Duluth
lands. He and the late
John A. Willard were
heavily interested in the
Western Land and Loan
Company and the Highlands Improvement Company, and
were also partial owners of the Chamber of Commerce
Building. One of the claimants in the latter enterprise is
the National Bank of La Crosse, which recently brought
suit to recover $2, GOO from Mr. Brett.
Blanding & vSmith, Detroit City, Minn., have dissolved
partnership.
The D. W. Fitton Dry Goods Company succeeds D.
W. Fitton & Co., Hamilton, Ohio.
Martin & Allen, dry goods and carpet dealers, La Porte,
Ind., are succeeded by George W. Allen.
Rucker Brothers, San Jose, Cal., carpet and furniture
dealers, are advertising to close out their business.
W. C. Porter & Son, carpet and furniture dealers,
Keithsburg, 111., are succeeded by George F. Porter.
The Bigelow Carpet Company are preparing to erect a
three story storage warehouse on their property in Clinton,
Mass.
Hoos & Schulz, carpet and furniture dealers, Jersey
City, N. J., are succeeded by the Hudson County Furni-
ture Company.
A. C. Sanford, dry goods and carpet dealer, Palmyra,
N. Y., recently sustained a loss by fire of $5,000 to his
stock. Insurance, $1,500.
The firm of Lasalle & Koch, Toledo, Ohio, has been
incorporated. The official title of the concern now is
Lasalle & Koch Company.
Nergararian Brothers, dealers in Oriental rugs, &c.,
Detroit, Mich., will remove February 1 to new quarters
at 237 to 241 Woodward avenue, that city.
J. M. High & Co.'s store at Atlanta, Ga., was closed on
January 4 and 5, and the time spent in taking stock.
When it reopened on the 6th J. M. High was the sole
owner of the business, the junior partners, F. W. Holt
and John E. McClelland having retired, the latter to
study law. Mr. High is in vigorous health, and it is
understood will take personal charge of the business and
push it.
Plenty of Room for Carpets. — T. S. Martin & Co., Sioux
City, la., have a verj' extensive carpet and drapery depart-
ment in their new store. It occupies a floor space of
60x150 feet, and the stock carried amounts to about $35,-
000. The business of the department is increasing steadily
under the able management of F. L. Clark.
Removed to New Quarters.— Allen, Stephenson & Co., car-
pet and furniture dealers, Knoxville, Tenn., opened their
new and spacious store in the Briscoe Building, in that
city, recently. The building is five stories high, including
the basement, and is 150 deep by 50 feet wide. It is
equipped with electric lights, elevators and all other
modern improvements. The carpet and drapery depart-
ment occupies the second floor. The first, third and fourth
floors are devoted to the firm's extensive stock of fur-
niture, &c. Allen, Stephenson & Co. have been twenty-
three years in business in one place, and rank among the
most successful dealers in Knoxville.
Celebrated Tbelr Silver Anniversary. — The twenty-fifth
anniversary of the founding of Sanger Brothers, Dallas,
Tex., was recently celebrated. The firm started their
business in a little frame building, one story, 50x80 feet.
To-day they occupy buildings with four frontages of 200,
135, 50 and 100 feet. The larger portion of these build-
ings is five stories high. There are fifty-five complete
retail departments. The store has hydraulic elevators and
electric light, including 1,500 incandescent and seven arc
lights . The firm have also an important branch at Waco .
Isaac Sanger came to New York first in 1851, and after
being employed in New York went to Texas in 1858. He
started a store at McKinney, but afterward moved to
Weatherford, leaving the McKinney store in charge of
Lehman Sanger. At the close of the war Lehman was
joined by his brothers Isaac and Philip. The Dallas store
was started in 1872, and is now in charge of Alex. Sanger,
Lehman and Samuel Sanger conducting the Waco house .
Isaac Sanger has lived in New York many years, acting as
buyer for his firm .
Consolidation In Troy.— The firm of G. V. S. Quacken-
bush & Co., of Troy, N. Y., has been reorganized and in-
corporated. The capital stock is $125,000, and the di-
rectors are Edwin Ouackenbush Lasell, William W. Loomis
and Charles A. Evans, all of Troy. Messrs. Loomis and
Evans are members of the firm of Loomis, Evans & Co.
In reference to the reorganization the firm has issued the
following ;
Announcement.
The firm of G. V. S. Quackenbush & Co. was dissolved by the
death of Samuel H. Lasell, November 13, 1897. As surviving part-
ner, Wm. H. Sherman will close up its affairs, collecting its assets
and paying at maturity its obligations not assumed and paid by its
successor.
The business will be continued by a corporation of the same name,
composed of Messrs. Edwin Quackenbush Lasell, William W.
Loomis and Charles A. Evans, consolidating the interests of G. V.
S. Quackenbush & Co. and Loomis, Evans & Co. Mr. Lasell is a
grandson of Mr. G. V. S. Quackenbush and a son of Mr. Samuel H.
Lasell, and has been long associated with the late firm, while
Messrs. Loomis and Evans are men of large experience and marked
capacity in the trade. The corporation will commence business on
or about January 10, 1898, and will assume all unexecuted orders
and contracts of the late firm. Its aim will be to perpetuate the
Quackenbush business by Ihe application of the most approved
modern methods.
The people of the Mississippi Valley are endeavoring to
get the Government to take charge of the levee system
and Mississippi River improvement. J. Farnbacher &
Son, Baton Rouge, La. , are taking an active part in this
movement, and are asking Eastern business men to stir
up their representatives at Washington on the subject.

THERE can no longer be a shadow of doubt that business
in draperies, both hght and heavy, and in furniture
coverings of all grades, has developed with the new year a
strength and vigor to which it has long been a stranger.
Our readers will bear witness that we have not indulged
in any rose-colored views as to the trade revival of which
the daily papers have told us so much, but we cannot shut
our eyes to the fact that more shuttles are clicking than
ever before, and that the goods now reeling oft" from many
long-idle looms are being taken up at prices which, if not
satisfactory — the millennium of the manufacturer is yet in
the distant future — are at least such that capital stands
ready on every hand to accept them as giving a fair return
for its use. Travelers on the road are sending in very
good orders, and our news columns bear evidence that
buyers are coming to the market earlier and in larger
numbers than heretofore. They are confirming the orders
placed at home, and in many cases are adding to the pur-
chases made before their stock taking was completed.
T^HUS far the increased activity has been mainly shown in
the great grain-growing States of the West, and retail
business is exceptionally good in towns which are the cen-
tres of farming districts. But high prices for Western
grain mean equally good returns for the smaller but more
easily distributed products of the Eastern farm, and in
time the effects will be felt in the business of this section.
The demand for drapery trimmings is as sure and safe
a barometer of the upholstery trade as is the request
for carpet linings in the- allied branch of business. It is a
recognized fact that when linings are in demand carpets
are being cut up. The sale of upholstery trimmings dur-
ing the past few weeks has been many times larger than
for any corresponding season since 1892. This fact is
taken by careful observers to indicate an early and en-
larged trade in the heavier and more expensive drapery
fabrics, and the situation is the more remarkable in that
as a rule, dealings in this class of goods have always been
heavier in the fall than in the spring.
\ s to the domestic makers of lace curtains, they have the
market almost absolutely in their own hands. Every
machine in the United States is running up to its full
capacity, but — and mark this — not one, so far as we know,
is running overtime. It is not long since we recorded the
reorganization of the company operating one of the best
equipped mills in the country, and we are glad to know
that the production is entering into consumption without
friction. A month ago we announced the fact that one of
the wealthiest and most conservative concerns in the coun-
try had invested a large amount of capital in the manufac-
ture of bobbinets, and elsewhere some details are given as
to the new factory of the Patchogue Manufacturing Com-
pany, for which machinery is now coming over sufficient
to double the production. Moreover, there are nowhere
any signs of overproduction. With cotton selling at avow-
edly less than its growing cost, a surplus of manufactured
goods should not be a disturbing element in strong hands.
\ni) just here we may, for the sake of contrast, be par-
doned for indulging in a little ancient history — ancient
history in this country being anything that dates back
more than one administration. There are
several men who will read these lines who can
easily recall the night when the chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee, now largely
promoted, said to the assembled
chenille manufacturers: "Gentle-
men, this is your last chance ; come
to some agreement as to what rate
will be satisfactory." The wild-
eyed enthusiast waved the Ameri-
can flag and put the peg in the top
notch. It was not according to
Hoyle, but the more conservative
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
men made only feeble protests, and the McKinley rate on
chenilles went into tariff history. At that time we were
steadily driving the Germans out of the market. Our
machinery was, as has been the case whenever in a half
century we have been forced to invent tools to meet the
capacity of our more intelligent and higher priced labor,
already better than that of our competitors, our produc-
tion, loom for loom, was 30 per cent more than theirs,
while our wages were not more than 20 per cent, higher,
and our patterns were in every way better suited to this
market Given three years of this, a man who should
import a lot of German table covers would have been
relegated to Bloomingdale. But the bill passed, and
within three months every man who had money enough to
buy lumber with which to build a loom was turning out
curtains, covers, portieres, slumber robes and heaven
knows what else. That bill was entitled " An act to re-
duce revenue," &c. And the chenille manufacturer who
will look over his ledger and see what he was easily get-
ting for goods ten years ago, and the price he is fighting
for now, will confess that the title was no misnomer.
/Tnd here comes the contrast. Later on, after two ad-
ministrations had waxed and waned, some of the
same gentlemen went up to the seat of customs to share
in framing a bill " to increase revenue, &c." They were
eight years older as men count time, but they were ages
older in experience. The wild-eyed enthusiast, born in
England, once more waved the American flag and de-
manded from 75 to 100 per cent, ad valorem on Nottingham
cnrtains. When the chairman of the committee asked,
" What will you? " they answered, " The present duty of
50 per cent, is enough for protection. Make that the mini-
mum and give us a point duty, so that every yard of goods
that is imported shall come in at its actual value." Possibly
there are undervalued goods rushing through in bond to
"ports of entry " on some far off Western creek, but the at-
tentive reader of these columns finds very few reappraise-
ments made by the lynx eyed gentlemen who hold a reading
glass over the samples that come to the Washington street
appraiser's office in this city. And in this fact may be
found the solution of the problem of how it is possible
that, with a steadily increasing yardage, there is no over-
production of American lace curtains.
In the pages devoted to the carpet department in this issue
will be found a sketch of the business career of Jud-
son H. Black, of Detroit, who died on December 26. The
announcement will be read with regret by every man who
has been actively engaged in the upholstery business during
the last twenty years. Although Mr. Black was a large
dealer in draperies he never made the slightest pretense to
a knowledge of any fabric connected with the upholstery
department. He knew carpets, and knew them well.
It is doubtful if he could tell a linen Renaissance from a six
point Nottingham, and probably thought spachtel work was
the product of a Jacquard loom. But he bought his goods as
the American furniture manufacturer says he makes his,
"on honor," and during many years of successful busi-
ness life he was never, with one exception, deceived by
the men in whom he trusted.
That transaction was long ago forgiven and forgotten.
One day he found that he had been deceived. He made
a vigorous kick, demanded a reduction in price and a dating,
discounted the bill, and then charging up 10 per cent, to
profit and loss put the goods in his window and advertised
them in the papers as a job lot at the net cost, with all de-
ductions made. When the offending salesman next visited
Detroit the air in the dry goods houses of the town was
colder than any Peary ever experienced on the 70th
parallel.
R lack's life was replete with adventure. He had little
schooling and walked barefooted two miles each way
daily to get that little. His father was a poor Scotch Bap-
tist minister and a cousin of William Black, the famous
novelist. He worked first for George McDonald at $80 a
year, and while a mere boy went to Memphis, where he
was w^hen the civil war broke out. He became chief of
staff' to General Forrest, " the wizard of the saddle, ' whose
raids along the border carried terror to the hearts of the
farmers, whose horses were driven off to mount the cavalry
of the Confederates and whose cattle went to feed their
army. Black was one time in the saddle for twenty con-
secutive days, pursuing or pursued. The people of Mem-
phis presented him with a valuable horse and trappings.
After three years of service he resigned and went to Buf-
falo, where he was arrested by the Union authorities, but
slipped them and went to Canada. When amnesty was
declared he returned to Buffalo, and was with Hamlin &
Mendsen, among his fellow salesmen being Dickson Bean,
afterward wholesale carpet manager for Field, Leiter &
Co. ; Wm. Olding Newman, later with J. & J. Dobson, and
D. E. Morgan, now of D. E. Morgan, Son & Allen.
After a short service in Chicago he went with James Nail,
of Detroit, then with Friedman Brothers, and finally em-
barked in business for himself.
/'^N one occasion a gentleman now at the head of the lace
^-^ curtain commission business, but then salesman for a
house dealing in Swiss goods, thought he would "have a
try" at Black, and soHcited an order. "Now, George, "was
the reply, " come up to the Russell and PU blow you . You
know I buy all my goods of your grade from Fletcher.
Whenever you have anything of a different kind I'll be
glad to do something for you. " It was a fact that Walter
Longmire used to drive up with W . H . Fletcher's sam-
ples, and was uniformly met with the remark, "Well, Cu-
pid, you had better look through the stock and see what I
want." An hour later Mr. Longmire would say, " I guess
about a thousand." "All right, send 'em along."
"To Jack Hargraves, then representing McCIain & Simp-
son, and on the road, like most carpet travelers, a
month too early, he said : "I can't buy any goods just
now. We haven't taken stock, and I actually don't know
what I need." Seeing the disappointed look on Har-
graves' face, he added: " Give me your order book, I don't
want to have you skunked," and wrote, " Fifty pieces of
Extra Super, to be selected when I come East next
month."

binets had retarded the progress of Plauen manu-

to secure their supplies for the new season prior to the
advance in the price of nets, which has affected all grades
of laces. This assures a stability to the market that will
reflect in the demand as the season advances.
p-ROM Nottingham comes the statement that the extensive
exportation of lace machinery which has been going
on for some years past, and, above all, the development of
the embroidered lace industry in Saxony and Switzerland,
have rendered foreign competition very formidable.
TTfter eight 3'ears of effort the big manufacturers of steel
rod wire and nails have pooled their issues and the
combination was launched on January 1 with $60,000,000
of capital. The corporation tax was $87,000, the largest
ever paid by any concern to the State of Illinois. The
headquarters of the combination will be at Chicago.
Gerritt H. Ten Broek, of St. Louis, who is one of the
counsel, said :
" We have not tried, nor shall we trj', to force any fac-
tory to join the combination.
' ' We offer them their price, and give them the option
of taking cash or stock in the new company for their indi-
vidual interests. If they do not wish to accept either
proposition they can stay out without fear of our attempt-
ing to force them to join us.
" Our whole project is based upon the economic idea
that a factor}- can supply its proper territory cheaper, and,
consequently at better profit, that it can a distant terri-
tory. The only effect on the market that I can see will
be a possible slight lowering of prices, because of this
economy, and also a steadiness of prices for the future."

in Boston and secured his usual good share of orders. He
invites calls from all visiting buyers, assuring them that
such visits will prove advantageous.

A NEW ENGLISH FITMENT.
A FIRST EMPIRE ROOM.
A MOST unique and beautiful room has just been com-
pleted in the house of Edward D. Lewis, the inarine
painter, 30 South Twentieth street, Philadelphia. The
building in which the room is situated was constructed as
an annex to the main structure. It is 46 x 30 feet and 20
feet in height. The architect has reproduced the style of
building popular in the Napoleonic era, not only in the ex-
ternal appearance, but in the architectural adornments of
the interior. The placing of the Corinthian columns, the
medallions, the fireplace projection, the door elaborations
are strictly after the order of the First Empire.
All of the color decorations are from the brush of Mr.
Lewis himself. The ceiling is flat, the main color being
turquoise blue, surrounded with a border in gray tint on
which a few pale pink flowers are introduced. A chan-
delier of ormolu work, which depends from the centre, is
a copy of one found in an old palace in Florence and dating
back to 1750. The floor is of mahogany, cut into strips
and laid in what is technically termed " staggered " rows.
The entrance from the main building into the room is by
two doors that were formerly windows, looking upon the
fine yard of the dwelling upon which the new structure
stands. From these entrances a fine view is had of the
broad fireplace, on each side of which are candelabra
formed of life-sized figures plated with gold. These were
once the property of Cardinal Fesch, uncle of Napoleon.
Directly opposite the two entrances, and upon either side
of the fireplace, are two broad windows with spandrels
above them, filled in with narrow panes of glass, orna-
mented with frost-like tracery. Fluted pilasters hung
with crimson tapestry break the monotony of bare walls.
The two entrances project into the room. On both sides
of each are Corinthian columns, between which hang
canary colored silk curtains.
The centre of one of the end walls is covered by a most
wonderful piece of work in silk tapestry, known as " The
Judgment Day." It was made in the sixteenth century
and is very elaborate in detail, innumerable figures being
introduced. Many smaller tapestries adorn the room in
various positions. Some of them are genuine examples of
the Napoleonic decorations.
ENGLISH TEA CLOTHS.
-MONG the many pretty etceteras of English
fashions of the day may be ranked the tea
cloths for afternoon gatherings. At some
teas the small tables set out about the rooms
have white muslin cloths with deep lace
flouncing, and at others delicate colored
and flowered muslin is used, with a frill of
chiffon matching in tone, lightly caught up with
a stitch here and there. Fine linen with an
insertion and edging of pillow lace, or a de-
sign embroidered in white thread ; Swiss mus-
lin, with colored ribbon run in and out of insertion, cross-
ing and running round the cloth, with clustered loops at
each corner, are popular, and so are others with a pattern
in drawn thread all over them, or a scattered design of
single violets, worked in washing thread or silk, with a
group in each corner, the stalks being gold colored and
without leaves. The ordinary white tea cloths are often
ornamented in this way, and have a fall of coarse thread
lace sewn on. As wedding presents, tea cloths of white
satinet embroidered in gold or of delicate colors, worked
in shaded silks, are given ; and there is also a Cretan silk
muslin interspersed with tinsel threads, which is greatly
used for table cloths and slips. The daintiest little teapot
holders are to be seen made of wadded satin, brocade, or
in the material of the cloth. They are circular, about 5
inches in diameter, edged with a cord and a concealed
wire, so that they fold over and resemble in shape the
division of an orange. Some of them are of soft silk,
" smocked " in color. A silver or old china bowl of roses
or some other flowers, or a quaint basket filled with moss
and ferns, is to be seen on many prettily arranged tea
tables, for, now that five o'clock tea is such an institution
considerable thought is bestowed on it to render it attrac-
tive and, if possible, original.
NEW UPHOLSTERY GOODS MILL.
LAURENCE W. Frank, whose retirement from the Josephs
& Frank Company is noted elsewhere in this issue, is
preparing to enter the trade again as the head of the
Laurence W. Frank Company. A new mill is building
for the company at 139 and 141 Oxford street, Philadel-
phia, and it will be equipped with the newest and best
machinery for the manufacture of medium and high-class
silk, wool and cotton drapery stuffs, furniture coverings,
curtains and table covers. Owing to delay in completing
the plant, the company will not be in the market this
spring, but when they enter it they are certain to be a
highly important factor in the trade.
Dealers in carpets, curtains and furniture should send
to Charles F. Pease for his new book of bindings and other
specialties.

ovals, or rounds, embroidered also, are placed under the
decanters, &c. Some very
elaborate sideboard sets
are made of ecru silk, em-
broidered with flowers and
bordered with silver, but
these are not very practical,
as they cannot be washed.
More useful ones are of granite
linen or damask, em-
broidered with linen or
wash silk and trimmed
with heav}' guipure or cut
work.
T~HE bamboo, associated in
housekeepers' minds with
curtains and furniture, has, it
seems, edible qualities
on its native heath. When
very young the stalks are
succulent and tender and not
unlike asparagus. It is
cooked and eaten with a sauce like that vegetable.
/^usHioNS, or rather couch pillows, of painted bolting
^ cloth, are seen in great variety this season, and they
are usually of a most elaborate character, the bolting
cloth being placed over satin and the pillow being trimmed
with frills, folds and puffings, to say nothing of lace and
embroidery. Such cush-
ions are, of course,
utterly useless, as they
are too delicate to be
handled, much less
leaned upon, but they are
expensive and dainty,
and catch the eye of the
lavish purchaser. Cush-
ions covered with
Bagdad stripes or other
substantial Oriental
fabrics, not too light
in color, are also greatly
liked, and are much "fast black.

CARPET ITEMS.
The Bromlc)' Brothers Carpet Company have all their
men on the road and their looms all running.
jAMiS & George D. Bromley report they have most of
their looms running on an increasing demand. The high
grade goods manufactured by this firm are appreciated by
all judges of quality in carpet.
Lord & Taylor are having specially good success in
their cut order department with Sanford Velvets. Man-
ager Gilmore states that the firm have very largely in-
creased their business on Velvets since they decided that
the Sanford goods would be the only make of Velvets
they would handle in this department.
The Goshen Sweeper Company, Grand Rapids, Mich.,
has been reorganized. The business will be carried on by
a new company, with a capital stock of $25,000. The
stockholders are C. C. Comstock, John Mowat and E. H.
Foot. Mr. Comstock is president; Mr. Mowat is vice-
president, and H.J. Bennett is treasurer.
The M. a. Furbush & Son Machine Company, 224
Market street, Philadelphia, in their new advertisement on
page 99 of this issue, call attention to the Smyrna rug
looms manufactured by them. These looms are built in
several sizes, and are used by all the large manufacturers
of Smyrna rugs. Write for a catalogue and prices.
E. T. Mason & Co., importers of Japanese rugs, straw
matting, portieres, screens, &c., 28 and 30 Greene street.
New York, are in a position to interest strongly every
dealer in such goods. Their stock of Japanese rugs is
especially large and attractive. Particular attention is
called to their new line of Hundo jute rugs, which are
made in all sizes and in a great variety of handsome pat-
terns.
The Lamond & Robertson Company, manufacturers of
Smyrna rugs, hemp carpets, Napier matting, Crescent and
Dundee rugs, &c., Paterson, N. J., opened the spring season
with the most extensive and attractive lines of these goods
ever shown by them, and their business to this date has
been very satisfactory. The lines are shown in New York
by Walter Scott, 108 and 110 Worth street: at Chicago,
by Carl Bremer, 221 Fifth avenue; at Boston, by A. N.
Flinn, 564 Washington street, and at Cincinnati, by J. M.
Allen, Palace Hotel Buildinar.
AFFAIRS OF THE AMERICAN SHADE COMPANY
THE American Shade Company, St. Louis, is financially
embarrassed. It is said that the plant has been taken
possession of by the mother of W. H. Mare, Jr., and that
the Columbia Shade Cloth Company has secured the
factory, with the machinery contained in it, but has not
yet decided whether it will operate it or not. The com-
pany was organized last March, W. H. Mare, Sr., and
his son having secured the controlling interest. W. W.
Carpenter, the founder of the business, disposed of his
interest in it to the Messrs. Mare, but remained with the
company as superintendent of its factory.
THE ROME UNIVERSAL CURTAIN POLE.
THE Rome Brass and Copper Company state that the
"Rome Universal Curtain Pole " is a seller. This
company employ about 1,000 hands, and when they say a
thing sells it must be so, for they are in a position to judge
as to what the word ' ' seller " means. Two little tracks upon
the pole, formed from the metal which covers the wood, is
the device that does the trick. Lubricate these tracks
with a little oil, rubbed on with the finger, and the results
you get with' any ordinar}', common ring will satisfy you
that the "Rome Universal Pole" is all that this company
claim for it.
See the manufacturers' advertisement on page 91 of
this issue.
HARTSHORN SHADE ROLLERS.
THE Stewart Hartshorn Company's new advertisement
on page 71 of this issue is of special interest to every
dealer. In every part of the world where a window shade
is hung the Hartshorn roller is sure to be found. Its
sterling merits have made it an indispensable part of the
stock of every dealer in window shades, and the demand
for it is so great as to keep the company's immense fac-
tories constantly running.
ROSENTHAL & BROWNLIE.
THE spring ling of tapestry curtains shown by Rosenthal
& Brownlie this season is one of the most complete
in novelties in the market. Visiting buyers have placed
ver}'- good orders and complimented the firm on the good
taste shown in getting up the line.
H. Goldthorp is making a trip in the Middle States
for the firm. E. T. Lamburton, who covers Boston and
the New England States, is sending in flattering orders.
R. S. Brownlie, of the house, is back in Chicago after a
successful trip in the West, and H. Gardner is up State
and will make Toronto before returning to New York.
THE MANUFACTURERS' CONVENTION.
PRESIDENT McKINLEY WILL BE A GUEST AT THE BANQUET.
IT is definitely settled that President McKinley will attend
the banquet of the National Association of Manufac-
turers, to be given at the Waldorf-Astoria, January 27, as
announced in our issue of the 1st inst. A committee, con-
sisting of Warner Miller, Charles A. Moore, Charles A.
Schieren, William Brookfield, Benjamin Atha, Henry B.
Haigh and Charles E. Locke, by appointment called at the
White House last month, when the President listened to
the request of the committee, and, after asking many
questions regarding the work and national character of the
association, said that he would endeavor to attend and
speak on the occasion.
The President subsequently assured the committee that
he not only felt it to be a, duty, but that it would be a
great pleasure to him to meet manufacturers representing
all lines of industry and from all sections of the Union at
their annual convention.
It is understood that Joseph H. Choate and Senator
Frye will also speak.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
Arbuckle. — John C. Arbuckle, New York representative of Stew-
art, Moir & Muir, sails for home the last week in January. He will
probably hereafter visit this country twice a year in the interests of
the house.
Angier — HoTCHKiN. — Miss M. J. Hotchkin, of Waterville, N. Y.,
was married at Benton Harbor, Mich., on the 5th inst. to G. E.
Angier, of the John Kroder & Henry Reubel Company, New York.
The event is noticed by the Daily Palladium, of Benton Harbor, as
follows: "Mr. G. E. Angier, of New York city, and Miss M. J.
Hotchkin, of Waterville, N. Y. , were married by Rev. James Ham-
ilton at the Hotel Whitcomb to-day. The ceremony was performed
at the hotel on account of Mrs. R. H. Hotchkin's illness, instead of at
the residence of Mr. J. C. Hotchkin, the bride's brother, on Lincoln
avenue. It was a very quiet affair, only relatives of the bride being
present. At 11 o'clock a sumpttious breakfast was served in the
ordinary of the hotel. The room was very prettily decorated in
pink and white roses and smilax. The bride wore a brown broad-
cloth suit trimmed in gold. The party left on the noon train for
parts unknown. The groom's nephews wished their "Uncle
Everett" all kinds of success and happiness, and the rice that was
wasted was evidence of their sincerity."
Bratton. — D. H. Bratton, New York representative of the Moss
Rose Manufacturing Company, started out on his Western trip on
the 11th inst. Mr. Bratton carries a line that will command large
orders.
Brittain. — John A. Brittain, of J. A. Brittain & Co., was dis-
playing samples to the Boston trade last week.
BuRBRiDGE. — Charles T. Burbridge, who is once more in his old
shape after his serious operation at the Post-Graduate Hospital, is
now with H. O. Perrin & Co., and will represent their drapery trim-
ming department on the road.
Fletcher. — Frank N. Fletcher, of W. H. Fletcher & Co., returned
on New Year's Day from his European trip, bringing back fourteen
extra pounds of Fletcher. The custom hou,se inspector, who knew
him well, mechanically chalked his trunks, but looked after him as
he went down the pier as though he had lingering doubts as to
whether or not he had a $350 renaissance curtain wrapped around
him.
Frank. — Jo Frank has resigned his position as vice-president of
the Chauncey Tapestry Company, to take effect to-day, January 15.
Hall. — Harry B. Hall, now with the Chauncey Tapestry Company,
goes to the New York office of the Moss Rose Manufacturing Com-
pany on the 17th inst.
Henson. — J. W. Henson, of Henson & Small, agents for the
Patchogue mill, sailed for Europe on the Teutonic on the 12th inst.
Old traveler as he is, he went to the dock with a foreboding of an
uncomfortable trip — a foreboding which was shared by everyone who
had seen any of the Atlantic liners which had reached this port in
the past few days.
KiTZ. — A. Kitz, manager of the New York business of Bossut
Pere & Fils, will return from Europe next week.
Rice. — Henry W. Rice was sworn in as a school commissioner by
Mayor Strong, of New York, on December 30. Mr, Rice, who is con-
spicuous in social life and philanthropic work in this city, is the head-
of the firm of Rice, Stix & Co., St. Louis, and its resident represent
tative in New York.
Ryan.— Edward Ryan, of Ryan & McGahan, 84 Leonard street.
New York, was confined to his home with a sprained ankle for a few
days, but is again hustling after trade, although with a perceptible
limp.
Sharp.— Robert G. Sharp, for many years at the head of the up-
holstery department of E. S. Jaffray & Co., and one of the best
known men in the trade, will be found after to-day on the floor of
W. H. Fletcher & Co. He will be a valuable acquisition to the staff
of the house.
WINDOW SHADE TRADE CONDITIONS.
I N another column we report the finan-
cial difficulties of a St. Louis
shade manufacturing concern.
Within the past six months
Chicago's pioneer shade factory
failed, and the close of the past
year witnessed the retirement
from business of the oldest
shade manufacturing firm in
Philadelphia. Each of these oc-
currences was due to the lack
of profit in the manufacturing
business. Orders could be
obtained, but there was nothing
left for the maker after filling
them except, in most cases,
a loss. The financially weak
concerns were obliged to succumb, and the strong Phila-
delphia firm preferred to pay up and go out of business
rather than lose money.
There are still left a few manufacturing concerns which
may be depended upon to safeguard their affairs, so that
no one will suffer loss on their account; that is, they will
not accept orders at losing prices, or if they do they are
abundantly able to stand the brunt. The first method is
the best. It is against the fundamental rule of business
success to sell regular goods at a loss or without some
profit. Let the other fellow do it. You may then have
an opportunity to buy his goods still cheaper at a sheriff's
sale. It is certainly in order for shade manufacturers to
advance prices, either individually or collectively.
MATTERS AT THE HUB.
George J. Carter, late manager of the upholstery de-
partment at R. H. White & Co.'s, Boston, has been
engaged by Emery, Bird & Thayer, of Kansas City, Mo.,
and will have charge of their carpet, upholstery and fur-
niture departments.
J. B. Fisher, the Boston representative of the Hensel
Silk Manufacturing Company and the Saranac Silk Mills,
says all indications point to a good spring trade. The
large houses have mostly taken large stocks in his lines,
and the jobbers are now sending in orders at a good rate.
Among the upholstery men in the Jefferson Building on
Washington street, Boston, none is more popular than the
genial W. M. Boutwell, who represents Barnes & Beyer,
the Hatred Mills, W. 8z J. Robinson, &c. He has his
hands full of business, and disposes of a vast amount of
tapestry curtains, chenilles and various upholbtery fabrics.

hein as one of the delegates who will represent St. Louis

years.
Charles A. Stix, of Stix, Baer & Fuller, proprietors of
the Grand Leader, was serenaded at his home, on New
Year's Eve, by the employees of the firm. The serenaders
were invited inside and a "feast of reason and a flow of
soul " followed.
On the 5th inst. one of the water tanks connected
with the automatic sprinklers in the store of the J. Ken-
nard & Sons Carpet Company burst, and a large quantity
of goods was injured before the flow could be checked.
The loss amounted to several thousand dollars.
. Thomas K. Stanley, the upholstery buyer for B. Nugent
& Brother, was pleasantly surprised on Christmas Eve,
when the employees of his department presented him with
a life-size crayon portrait of himself. Mr. King made the
presentation on behalf of his associates and Mr. Stanley
responded in a happy vein.
The total destruction by fire, on December 19, of the
Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Company's building, corner
Broadway and Locust street, caused considerable loss and
inconvenience to Charles C. Perry, the carpet and drapery
agent, whose office was located on the third floor of that
structure. His entire lines of samples and office furniture
were completely consumed. B. W. B.

FERGUSON BROTHERS.
THE Spring lines of Ferguson Brothers, manufacturers of
novelties and specialties in furniture, suitable for

features of the goods. The line will undoubtedly find
quick appreciation in the trade, and buyers are advised to
see it as soon as possible. It is shown at the salesrooms of
the firm, 494 Broadway, New York, and by their traveling

maniifacturers and importers,
will remove before February
1 from 482 Broadway across
the street to 473 Broadway,
where they will occupy a loft
30x200 feet, which forms a
lace curtain salesroom even
better than the one they have
heretofore occupied, as it will have an abundance of north
light and plenty of pole room. The firm membership will
continue as heretofore, and consists of Henry J. Rieser
and Marcus Kohner, the latter having decided to remain
in the business after a previous decision to retire. The
firm will continue business with the same assorted charac-
ter of stock as usual, carrying everything in lace curtains,
from the cheap machine made goods up to the fine real
laces, and will also make a leading feature of ruffled

travel through the West; W. R. Blair, who will cover
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and the South ; Max
Rosenbaum, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois; and M. J. Timoney,
New York city, New England and New York State.
THE JOHN KRODER & HENRY REUBEL COMPANY.
THE business interests of John Kroder, Incorporated,
and the Henry Reubel Company have been consoli-
dated under the corporate name of the John Kroder &
Henry Reubel Company, and the main offices and sales-
rooms of the company will be removed on or before Feb-
ruary 1 to the large building Nos. 268 and 270 Canal street,
four doors east of Broadway.
The combined facilities of the company's extensive fac-
tories, together with the economy in cost of production
which will naturally result from the consolidation of the
two concerns, will enable the new corporation to interest
the trade more strongly and meet its demands most thor-
oughly and satisfactorily. It will manufacture, as hereto-
fore, but on a more extensive scale than ever before, full
lines of brass and wood curtain poles and trimmings,
upholstery hardware and brass goods, carpet hardware, &c.
C. W. Ellis, who represents the company at Boston, has
also found it necessary to remove to larger quarters on
account of the increasing business, and is now showing
the lines in Room 04 Jefferson Building, 564 Washington
street, Boston.

JOHN KING & SON'S HOLLANDS.
rELix J. McCosKER, 486 Broadway, New York, is sole
selling agent in the United States for the celebrated
Scotch window hollands, manufactured by John King &
Son. The high quality of these goods is too well known
in the entire trade to make it necessary to lay any stress
upon this point now. They are sold by every shade goods
importer and leading importer of carpeting or upholstery
goods in the United vStates. Note the advertisement of
the Messrs. King on page 84 of this issue.

FRANCE GETS A JUDGMENT.
ON the 3d inst. Judge Grosscup, in the Federal Court,
at Chicago, ordered a judgment entered in favor of
the French Republic and the French exhibitors who lost
property by the fire in the Manufacturers Building, Jan-
uary 8, 1894, at the World's Fair.
The court two months ago held that the Columbian
Exposition Company, the local corporation conducting the
fair, was liable for the damage. The judge withheld the
entry of judgment until the amount of insurance paid the
individual exhibitors could be ascertained, stating that
when this was known a judgment for the balance woiild be
directed. The judgment is for $57,760, the full amount
claimed .
The loss to the French Republic consisted of some fine
Beauvais and Gobelin tapestries and two magnificent
Sevres vases, made for ornaments at the entrance to the
Chamber of Deputies. The French Republic claimed
$50,000 on its direct loss, and $10,000 more by reason of
delay and extra expenses attending the fire . Half a dozen
exhibitors from France had a combined loss of $15,000.
The Jo Frank Tapestry Company, of Philadelphia, is
one of the concerns which the new year has brought forth.
Men who for years have known Mr. Frank as one of the
ablest salesmen of middle weight drapery goods in this
country, will be pleased to learn that he will once more
visit them with fabrics of his own production. They will
also be pleased to learn that he will again be associated
with Geo. W. Fulton, who was formerly the manufactur-
ing partner in the firm of Geo. W. Fulton & Co. The
firm will have its offices and salesrooms at 345 and 347
Broadway on the same loft with W. H. Fletcher & Co.

AFFAIRS OF W. G. HITCHCOCK & CO.
PLAN TO UTILIZE THE REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS OF THE HEAD OF THE FIRM-
A PLAN for the reorganization of the affairs of W. G.
Hitchcock & Co., importers of dress and upholstery
goods, at Nos. 553 and 555 Broome street, who failed for
more than $1,000,000 October 22 last, has been submitted
to the creditors by the counsel for the assignee, by which
it is provided the liabilities will be met in full. The plan
is to go into effect, if accepted, January 15, 1898.
The liabilities of the firm are placed at possibly $1,500,-
000. The assets, under a forced sale, according to William
Nelson Cromwell, assignee's counsel, could not net to the
creditors more than 35 per cent.
Mr. Cromwell's plan is to capitalize and develop the
large real estate holdings of Mr.
Hitchcock in Westchester
County.
Mr. Hitchcock, about six years
ago, began to invest largely in
farm lands between Scarsdale
and White Plains, on the New
York and Harlem Railroad,
and within forty-two minutes of
the Grand Central Station.
At the time of his failure Mr.
Hitchcock was probably the
largest property owner in West-
chester County, holding more
than 1,400 connected acres,
subject only to a relatively small
mortgage lien. It had in-
volved a cash outlay of $500,000
and a tying up of capital
which, Mr. Cromwell says, was
a contributing cause of the
failure.
A realization of the full value
of this investment, according
to Mr. Cromwell, will bring
about a large cash contribution,
an adjustment of all claims,
the release of the assignors and
a speedy dividend to creditors.
The accomplishment of this
plan, its promoter says, has
been made possible by the attitude of Mrs. Hitchcock, who
will come to its aid with payments, conveyances and con-
cessions involving more than $500,000.
By the consummation of this plan, it is anticipated, the
creditors will realize upon their claims 36 per cent, in
cash, 14 per cent, in 4 per cent, notes of the John Ruszits
Fur Company, and 50 per cent, in 5 per cent, general
mortgage bonds of the Greater New York Land and De-
velopment Company, as the land company will be called.
Mr. Cromwell is made reorganization triistee.
ORINOKA BUILDING FOR THE ORINOKA MILLS
AND B. L. SOLOMON'S SONS.
' I 'he
: Orinoka Mills and the firm of B. L. Solomon's
Sons will remove their salesrooms from 29 Union
square to Fifth avenue and Seventeenth street prior to
February 1. We present herewith an illustration of the
handsome building which will doubtless be the home of
these concerns for a great many years to come, as the
Messrs. Solomon have heretofore made but few changes
in location during the long business career of their
firm.
The firm of B. L. Solomon's Sons, which consists of
Sol. & Sim. Solomon and Alexander Martin, the latter
having been admitted to an interest January 1, will occupy
the first two lofts with their
extensive and attractive
stock of imported upholstery
fabrics.
The Orinoka Mills will utilize
the third loft with an exclusive
display of the upholstery,
drapery and hanging products
of the Orinoka Mills, of Phila-
delphia, the selling being
under the direct charge of Jay
H. Solomon and Thos. F.
Gurry.
Both concerns will have well
lighted and spacious quarters,
unsurpassed for all modern
conveniences, and the trade will
find it a pleasure as well as
profitable to visit the new
Orinoka Building, the title
which has been given to the
structure.

For the spring of 1898 the Philadelphia Tapestry Mills
are now showing their great line of fabrics, consisting of
table covers, curtains, piece goods and couch covers. Their
line has been prepared with great care, and covers an im-
mense range. The goods are well made up and popular in
price, and the variety is so large that every demand is
met.
The Minneapolis Dry Goods Company, of Rochester,
N. Y., has been incorporated under New York State laws
with a capital stock of $200,000. The directors are: C. F.

Company; Rufus A. Sibley and Alex. M. Lindsay, of the
Sibley, Lindsay & Curr Company, Rochester ; Thomas S.
Johnson, Andrew J. Townsor and Thomas B. Ryder, also

A BOUDOIR BEDROOM.
Ew developments in domestic ar-
rangements have certainly set in
with the rage for flats, and the
need for a simple menage in view
of the growing independ-
ence of the daughters of
the house. The changes which
present-day ideas impose upon
daily life demand a correspond-
ing change in the order and ar-
rangement of our furniture and rooms, that these may
serve the new purposes required of them. A useful trans-
formation may be adopted in bedrooms so as to increase
their value in return for the space they occupy in the
house. A room which by day is a pretty sitting room and
by night a sleeping apartment, with equal comforts to the
ordinary bedroom, would be a welcome addition to the oft-
times overtaxed resources of the home. The equipment
of the boudoir bedroom necessitates an entire remodelling
of the furniture used, and the most important pieces,
which need to be carefully planned in order to carry out
their double uses, are the washstand, the bed and the
wardrobe; these are represented in the accompanying cut,
and they could be produced in an expensive and ornate
style with carved enrichments or fashioned in plain wood,
stained, and with more severe outlines. The principle and
the mechanism should be the same in either treatment,
and the taste and purse of the purchaser alone can be the
determining factor. The bed is designed on the plan of a
settle seat, with a spring and hair mattress, and dainty silk
cvirtains aound the back and sides. When the bed is made
in the morning it is completely covered with a brocade
bedspread, edged with a deep frill, and the square pillows
are placed in brocade cases and rested against the back of
the seat, thus converting the erstwhile bed into a most
luxurious couch. The washstand, when closed, has the
appearance of a cabinet, but its doors conceal a mirror,
towel rail, and all the adjuncts of the toilet, which are
ranged on convenient shelves so as to be immediately ac-
cessible if required. The wardrobe is ornamental, and
when the matutinal tidying has taken place every part of
the room is easily robbed of suggestive reminiscences of its
former use, and there is absolutely no need for any bed-
room to proclaim its existence as such ; and the hitherto
stereotyped, useless, and unlovely bedroom may be con-
verted into a study, boudoir, or music room, in which
friends can be received in pleasant chat, or into a repose-
ful sitting room, where, "far from the madding crowd,"
mind and body can be refreshed in quiet hours of rest and
peace. The cost of furnishing in the way suggested would
not be greater than that usually incurred, and certainly
the change would bring with it a great accession of com-
fort to those who appreciate appropriate surroundings, but
whose house room is limited.

DRAPING MANTELS, COUCHES, ETC.
("he custom of draping mantels, couches, arbors, book-
cases, &c. , has gotten to be so universal that manu-
facturers now produce draping material for this special
purpose. The difference in the fabric used for mantel
draping and for window work is that the former calls for
brighter colors, and more prominent designs and lighter
texture. Although a cloth calculated for mantel decora-
tion can be made to serve for a small window (see Fig. 4),
regulation drapery is not always applicable to couches,
bookcases, &c. In the manufacture of the cloth for this
special line, combination yarns are used largely in form-
ing the patterns. The process of making these yarns is
here described. In Figure 1 is a sectional drawing of a
device for straining dissolved waste silk preparation for
coating combination yarns ; the main reservoir is marked
A, the wire gauze plate C, the screw mechanism D,
and the receptacle for receiving the strained stock B.
The softened mass of silk waste is forced through the
wire gauze by means of the screw. This strained solution
is then applied to the yarns and dried by passing over
steam cylinders as shown in Fig. 3, in which A is the
yarn ready to enter the mixture in the tank B, after
which it is drawn over the hot cylinders and woiind up
again at C. Doubling is done by passing the yarns
through a pair of rollers, D, Fig. 3, while the surfaces
are made sticky or
adhesive by a gluti-
nous deposit from
the retort F, and
which is fed through
pipes to the brushes
E, and the latter
distributes the solu-
tion on the surfaces
of the yarns. This
silken sohition is pro-
duced almost entirely
from waste silk and
is therefore not costly.
The silk plated yarns
are colored to corre-
spond with the design
wanted, the goods
woven and finished,
and opportunity is
given for the arrange-
ment of window shelf
and couch trimmings
illustrated in the
diagram.
In Fig. 4 is a win-
dow drapery in which
the ground work of
the goods is in pale
yellow green, dyed as
follows: For 100

pare a dye bath with

same kind of goods, except that in model shown, the
ground of the cloth is darker. The pattern work also
differs, but the same kind of combination or silken plated
yarns are used. These are woven in very neat effects
such as step patterns, bird's eyes and plain twills, and in
grays, blue grays, blues and light drabs, with snuff browns
and dark Oxford. The browns are dyed as follows: For
100 pounds of yarn, prepare the dye bath with 10 pounds
common salt, 1 pound chrysomine, 3 pounds benzo brown,
1 pound diamine black. Enter goods at the boil and work
for one hour; lift, wash and dry. In Fig. 6 is shown a
plan of couch draping. The ground in the fabric is white,
and in this pattern some of the figures are in boucle effect.
There is occasion for good judgment in the selection of
the stock to make these boucle patterns. It requires wool
specially adapted for that purpose, with a good long staple
and a percentage of finer quality intermixed to produce
the desired eft'ect, as yarn from this stock can very seldom
be drawn down into the finer numbers, and where these
fine numbers are required, different stock should be used

— stock that is free from burrs, specks, &c. In Fig. 7 is
an effect for a mantel. The base yarns in the texture are
cotton and wool mixed and dyed olive as follows: Boil in
a bath of 10 ounces alum and 3 ounces sulphuric acid for
one hour, then lift and add 13 ounces picric acid, 12 ounces
indigo extract; re-enter for 30 minutes; lift, add 2 pounds
orchil, again re-enter and dye to shade; lift, rinse well
and dry. The figure work on the design is in combination
yarns.
RUFFLED AND FLOUNCED CURTAINS.
COHEN Brothers & Co. are showing for this season over
500 styles of flounced, ruffled, fluted and gathered
novelty curtains made of bobbinets, point d'esprit and
fancy nets, fish nets and muslins, with insertions and edg-
ing to match. The demand has increased so much that
they have started a factory at 308 East Fourth street, and
employ twenty-eight operators, which will enable them to
fill all orders at very short notice. Their Nottingham
house keeps them well supplied with all the latest novel-
ties for the manufacture of these new curtains. The
Messrs. Cohen & Co. say: " The popular price of the cur-
tains has created a great demand for them in all the
fashionable cities of the world, as nothing has ever been
shown to equal them in style, elegance and durability for
the same price. This fact makes them very desirable in
every curtain department."
Buyers who are looking for money makers should see
the line, which is on view at Cohen Brothers & Co.'s store,
424 and 426 Broadway, New York. See their new adver-
tisement on page 79 of this issue.

There's one thing a buyer may be positively assured of
when placing an order with the Jay C. Wemple Company.
He'll get the goods and get them promptly, and at the
price agreed upon. Whether there is storm or sunshine in
the shade trade, this house is on a rock which has not been
shaken in its half century of existence. By and by,
when shade prices get back to a proper level, remember
that the Jay C. Wemple Company served you faithfully

The Patchogue Manufacturing Company are putting up
a new mill building, which will be 75x200 feet on the
ground and two stories in height. It is of brick, fire-
proof, and is intended for the new machinery, most of
which is now on its way to this country, and which will
double the present capacity of the company. A track is
to be laid to connect the shipping rooms of the works with
the main line of the Long Island Railroad. When com-
pleted and the new looms installed the Patchogue will be
the second largest mill in the United States.

A JUDICIOUS INVESTMENT.
The Best Economy in your Carpet Room
can only be secured by using the most perfect appliances, of the simplest
design and the best construction.
Experience Has Proven the Fact
that the SINGER AUTOMATIC POWER CARPET SEWER will save its
cost in one year to any carpet dealer having enough business to require a hand
machine. THE SINGER AUTOflATIC is now in use by dealers who saved
its cost during the first six months of its operation.
A TRIUMPH OF MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY, SURPASSING ALL OTHER DEVICES FOR ITS PURPOSE.
Truly automatic, requires less labor and sews 40 per cent.
more carpet than any other machine on the market.
Requires least floor space, and uses any form of power.
Makes perfect stitch and seam, sewing any kind of carpet.
Automatic Matching and
Clamping Device.******'**'
This device is absolutely unique, and secures perfect stretching
and matching, -without necessity for expert labor. It is simpler,
swifter and in every way more effective than any other way of
handling a carpet. The sewing machine works automatically on
its track, following the operator from section to section as fast as
each is matched and clamped, the action of the clamping levers
automatically governing the movement of the sewing machine,
thus saving a great deal of time
This is not a Hand Machine Crudely Adapted to Power Operation,
Our Hand Machine is well known, and is still on the market, fully guaranteed to be the best
and most practical in use.

that mills and commission houses will not meet.
Our private patterns, especially in Wiltons and Brussels, are not surpassed either in
variety of design or novelty in coloring.
If we, with our private patterns and colorings, liave been able to secure some of the
largest contracts given in this country, would it not PAY YOU to have our patterns represented
in your stock.

541 New York Life Building, 346 Broadway,
NEW YORK.
The Carpet and Upholstery Association has been organ-
ized to supply special reports relating to the financial
responsibility and credit standing of Dealers in Carpets,
Rugs, Oil Cloth, Linoleums, Mattings or Floor Coverings of
any description; Curtains, Upholstery Goods, Window
Shades, Upholstery Hardware, Decorative and Furniture
Specialties and kindred productions.
The system of a special reporting agency of this character
has been successfully conducted in other leading branches of
trade for many years, and this Association is the first and
only credit agency devoted exclusively to the Carpet and
Upholstery Trades.
The Association will issue a Reference Book containing
the names of dealers in the goods mentioned throughout the
United States, together with credit ratings. This Reference
Book will be published twice a year and will be fully revised
up to date of issue.
The Special Reports will be the result of thorough and
extended investigation in the buying markets, as well as at
the resident points of dealers, and will contain information
of inestimable value to all manufacturers and wholesalers.
The Association is now prepared to receive subscriptions
and to furnish special reports. The first Reference Book
of the Association Reports will be ready for delivery at
an early date.
Terms of Subscription will be furnished on application.
(Price Lists continued on page yb.)

Department in the hands of experienced men. We shall
endeavor to make this one of the most acceptable features
of the Association. Our facilities for making collections
throughout the United States and Canada are perfected,

mitted to us will be handled in a manner thoroughly satis-
factory to our clients. We have correspondents in every

PHILADELPHIA, January 15, 1
To Buyers of Upholstery Fabrics:
There is a peculiar tone, a strong individuality in our products that pro-
claim them as better than the ordinary kind. New ideas that have been acquired
by our designers have resulted in the making of fabrics of that distinctively
smart tone that is only found in the best. Ally this to the prices we put on
same, and you have the ideal trade makers.
In our lines for the spring of 1898 you will find that same careful atten-
tion to detail and to style that has made our goods famous. Goods like these
add to the individuality of a department and make modern trade-getting easy.
There is a reasonable certainty of buyers being able to obtain from our
large and choice collection of Upholstery Fabrics anything and everything that
may be required in an Upholstery department.

MODERN UPHOLSTERIES.
It is evident that buyers are becoming more convinced every season that It
does not pay to purchase foreign made Upholstery and Drapery Fabrics
when they can buy American made goods of equal quality and superior
styles at considerably less money. That our productions ior the
SPRING OF 1898
will substantiate the correctness of this 'assertion
we leave to the judgment of the Trade and invite the most careful
comparison between them and imported fabrics.

@ "The Best Window Hollands Made." @
® Another equally large Importer of great experience states: ®
® ** The goods have always been and are now fast colors." ®
® Another firm in the very front rank of the business describes them as ®
^ "Unequalled in quality, unshrinkable and of finest dyes." ^

ILLUSTRATING the high consideration these popular goods hold in the estimation of the most
experienced importers of shade goods in the country, the attention of the trade is invited to
.1 the above opinions, published m the columns of this and other journals, over the signatures
^^ of the respective firms.
Enterprismg but unscrupulous parties unable to reach the exalted standard of these celebrated goods,
pay them the flattery of imitating the wrappings. It is the Goods, not the wrappings, the
trade is after. See that Bands, Tickets and Tabs of every piece are marked

The Last Process
in making Rubber Matting is to liake or cure it.
Unless this is thoroughly done the goods are
inferior. You know what happens to undercuied
hams — undercured rubber also spoils. It doesn't
putrify, but .stiffens. It's the elasticity in the
rubber that makes it wear, and the stiffer it gets
the shorter its life. Undercured matting has a
sticky feeling, with little rebound — you can cut
into it easily with vour thumb nail Double
Diamond and Spider Treads are tlioroughly
cured, tough and elastic. Their quality is
uuifornily good; they are great wearers, and
please the most exacting customer. Carried 36
inches wide by %2, yi, %g and
j^ inches thick; 41 inches wide
by %6 and ^ inches thick.
Cut to size free of cost. Better

-» CARPETS. {<-
The Carpets made by this Company have reeeived the highest award wherever exhibited,
incUiding Gold Medals at the Paris Exposition, 1878, and at the Centennial, 1876.
Their deserved reputation for excellence of fabric, richness and durability of color, novelty and
beauty of design, has led to frequent infringements, and inferior goods have often been palmed off
in their stead. For the protection of the public the Company has adopted as a trade mark the word
" BBGELOW," which will be woven (at every repeat of the pattern) in white capitals into the back
of the fabric. Customers will therefore have merely to examine the back of a carpet to be certain
that they are getting the genuine Bigelow goods.
THESE GOODS CAN BE HAD EBOM ALL FIRST-CLASS DEALERS.

THE TRADE SITUATION.
" I ^HE mills are running fairly well on orders and the de-
' mand for goods is especially large in the West and
Southwest. In New England trade is not particularly
active, and in Massachusetts the strike of cotton mill
operatives and general depression in the cotton industry
are exercising a somewhat discouraging effect upon all
branches of business. But whatever may be the result
of the strike, the general revival of business in other parts
of the country is certain to reach New England also.
The fact that tiiis revival is now in progress is shown by
many unmistakable signs of the times, one of them being
the practically unanimous statements to this effect by
members of the National Association of Manufacturers
during their recent convention in this city. As all dealers
in floor coverings are aware, an improvement in general
business invariably has a stimulating effect upon the de-
mand for their goods.
Prices continue to show an advancing tendency. A
conference of leading manufacturers of Ingrains was held at
Philadelphia recently to consider the question of a further
advance in prices, and although no decisive action was
taken, there is no doubt that it will not be much longer
delayed.
The stocks bought by jobbers at the sales last Novem-
ber are being distributed rapidly, and the jobbers will
therefore soon be obliged to advance prices in proportion
to the increased cost of manufacturing the goods.
THE CHINA MATTING MARKET.
ARNHOLU, Karberg & Co. , in their circular dated Hong
Kong and Canton, December 15, refer to the China
matting market as follows:
A considerable advance in prices for most qualities has lately
taken place, which is mainly due to the large demand that is ex-
pected from the United States. Offers for shipments during next
October and Novemberare scarcely obtainable and prices asked by
the Chinese are even higher than those quoted above. Of Cochin
China matting no offers are obtainable, as manufacturers are still
uncertain about the duty that will probably be imposed in Cochin
China on matting from the beginning of next year.
Shewan, Tomes & Co., in their circular dated Canton,
December 14, say:
Several new orders have been received since our last advices and
the market is strong. No fresh settlements are reparted, as only
April-May delivery can be obtained, and dealers not wishing to run

any risk are quoting high prici s. An all round increase in prices is
maintained and a further rise may be expected. Contracts remain
at 230,000 rolls.
CRIPPLING THE POSTAL SERVICE.
THE announcement that the Post Office Department
intended to discharge a large number of the letter
carriers of this city on account of a deficiency in the appro-
priation for the postal service has naturally aroused great
indignation. Two large meetings of citizens have been
held recently to protest against the crippling of the mail
service which would necessarily follow such a reduction
of the working force. This proposed interference with
our postal service is particularly outrageous in view of the
vast commercial importance of our city and the immense
amount of money it contributes to the revenues of the Post
Office Department.
The responsibility for this piece of cheese-paring
economy lies of course with Congress, which, while refus-
ing to make the appropriations necessary for the postal
service, insists upon wasting many millions of dollars in
the transportation at second-class rates of a great amount
of mail matter which is not rightly entitled to this privi-
lege. A bill to remedy this evil was introduced at the last
session of Congress, but was opposed by a number of cross-
roads representatives, who succeeded in sidetracking it for
that session. It will be brought up again, and if passed —
which seems probable now — the Government will then
have a revenue sufficient to meet all the legitimate de-
mands of a proper postal service.
Exports of carpeting and kindred goods from the port
of New York during the past four weeks were as follows:
Carpeting — Glasgow, 210 bs , $12,143; Liverpool, 96
bs., $2,340; London, 32 bs,, $1,642; Genoa, 19 bs., $559.
Carpet Sweepers — Southampton, 160 cs. , $2,800; Ham-
burg. 33 cs., $279; Rotterdam, 6 cs., $100; Antwerp, 2
cs., $19; Hull, 1 cs., $12.
James L. Kingston, who invented about seven years
ago the " Kingston Invisible Rug Fastener," has recently
brought out an important improvement on his original
device which makes it absolutely perfect for its purpose.
It is called the " Kingston Self-Adjusting Fastener" and
is sold by the Kingston Rug Fastener Company, 564
Washington street, Boston. Write to them for further
particulars.
John Early, the well-known Eighth avenue carpet
dealer, elsewhere offers his business for sale. It is a good
opportunity for some man who wishes to take a well es-
tablished and steadily successful plant. John Early
started it about thirty years ago. That was two years
after he came to this country. He was, as he says, a
greenhorn, and had only $100 capital. But he was one of
those far-downers who have contributed so much to the
success not only of the carpet but of all other branches of
business in this country. John says that when he retires
he is going across the water to take a rest jvith ' ' the
boys."
APPRAISERS' DECISION REVERSED.
IN the case of W. & J. Sloane against the United States,
which was tried in the United States Circuit Court
last December, the merchandise in question consisted of
"wool Dutch carpet " classified as " worsted chain Vene-
tian carpeting," at 12 cents per square yard and 30 per
cent, ad valorem, under paragraph 374 of the tariff act
of March 3, 1883. The importers protested, claiming the
merchandise to be dutiable at 40 per cent, ad valorem as
carpets or carpeting of wool under paragraph 378 of said
act.
On the trial of this case it was shown that the article in
suit was composed entirely of wool threads and contained
no worsted whatever, but was a so-called " durrie," being
a wool carpet with plain filling, and that it was in no sense
"worsted chain Venetian carpeting." A verdict was
rendered in favor of the importers, and the Treasury De-
partment has recently directed the appraisers to accept
this decision.

The offices, salesrooms and lofts for rental in the Hart-
ford Building, Broadway and Seventeenth street, are
especially suitable for carpet and upholstery goods, manu-
facturers and jobbers, a fact which has been promptly
recognized, for a large number of leading concerns in these
trades can now be found in this building. Any firm
that is looking for new quarters is advised to note the
special advantages of the Hartford Building in its 175 feet
of north light, passenger and freight elevators, and other
up-to-date features. See the advertisement on page 34 of

PENNSYLVANIA'S CONVICT LABOR LAW.
ON THE MANUFACTURi
MATTING.
OF MATS AND
Z*"-^ J ARDEX Wright, of the Western Penitentiary,
\^ J Allegheny, Pa., is said to be in doubt as
to the exact construction to be placed on
a certain clause of the new law regulating
the convict labor of Pennsylvania. The
clause reads as follows :
No warden, superintendent or other officer o£
any State prison, penitentiary or State reformatory having control
of the inmates of said institutions shall employ more than 5 per cent,
of the whole number of inmates of the respective institutions in the
manufacture of brooms and brashes and hoUowware. or 10 per cent,
in the manufacture of any other kind of articles that are manufac-
tured elsewhere in the State, except mats and matting, in the manu-
facture of which 20 per cent, of the inmates may be employed.
Warden Wright says that this may mean that he can
place 20 per cent, of the convicts at work on mats and
another 20 per cent, on matting, but that he will be
obliged to get legal advice on the subject before acting.
The average number of convicts in the Western Peni-
tentiary' is 1,600, and we are informed that hitherto not
more than 200 or 300 of them have been employed in the
manufacture of both mats and matting.
L. L. Steams & Sons, the pioneers of the carpet and
dr}- goods trades of Williamsport, gave a banquet to their
„ _ „ employees at the house of the head
Williamsport, Pa., ^ ■' , . , .
of the firm m this city, on the night of
January 25. ^^^ ^,^^^ .^^^ r^^^^ nothing was left
undone for the comfort and entertainment of the guests
goes without saying, as Mr. L. L. Steams has the reputa-
tion of never doing anything by halves. The spacious
mansion of Mr. Steams was prettily decorated with flow-
ers and palms, the guests were warmly welcomed by
Mrs. L. L. Stearns and her daughters, and everyone who
was present will always look back to the occasion with
pleasure.
Chambers & Megahan are busy trj-ing to get the old rink
in shape, so as to be ready to make a strong bid for a slice
of the business.
L. L. Stearns & Sons are getting in shape for business,
as they are making expensive and extensive improvements
in their carpet rooms After it is finished it will be one of
the finest carpet showrooms to be found in the State.
Business in this little bustling city in the carpet line is
improving. The Bush & Bull Company show some hand-
some goods and are making a strong bid for the trade ;
but they will have to "hustle," as the competition has a
tendency to be "hot" the coming season.
The West End Carpet and Furniture Company are
hustling, and now that the " boss has come back from his
hunting trip " it is more than likely that there will be hot
times in their store, as I understand that they are showing
an all wool Extra Super C. C, 1088 ends, made from the
wool of an Angora goat. R. M. E.
MASLAND & SONS' NEW TAPESTRY PLANT.
CH. Masland & Sons are making rapid preparations for
, the manufacturing of a superior grade of Tapestry
carpets. They intend to put on the market something
entirely new in designs and colorings, while the quality is
to be fully up to the highest standard. Forty looms will
soon be in position and the goods ready for next season's
sales. In the meantime their looms are all active in pro-
ducing their various grades of Ingrains and Art Squares.
Whatever else may stop, the big square looms are always
running in full force.
A SLIGHT fire occurred last week, in the linoleum de-
partment of the R. H. & B. C. Reeve Company's factory
at Camden, N. J. The damage done was slight and the
works are in full operation as usual.
Ajiong the thirty gentlemen who are to give a banquet
to Governor Griggs, of New Jersey, to celebrate his ap-
pointment as Attorney-General in President McKinley's
Cabinet, is Col. Henry A. Potter, of Thomas Potter, Sons
& Co. Mr . Potter is a member of the Governor's staff.

firm title until a new organization has been effected.
.... Samuel White, as manager, is running the mill at
the corner of Columbia avenue and Front street to its
full capacity on his India (jute) Smyrna rugs and carpets.
This fabric has received an impetus since the Dingley
tariff law went into effect.
....William Henderson, Jr., has just returned from a
very encouraging trip through the West. His firm has
just placed upon the market a very striking line of Pro-
Brussels for the spring. The patterns are largely of the
scroll order, and will be sure to meet the approbation of
all lovers of art, both in designing and shading.
....The Penn Furniture Company, which emigrated
from Baltimore to Philadelphia a year or two ago and
located at 726 Arch street, has outgrown its present quar-
ters, and secured larger and better facilities at 1023 Mar-
ket street. The store has been changed to a considerable
extent to accommodate it to the extensive trade of the

weaves are still holding their original high position on an
increasing demand.

an Wilton carpets, have all their looms active, and there is
increasing demand for all their productions. Their spring
offerings are of a very high order of merit.

big Monitor Mills in full operation and on full time.
They are looking for a revival of business later on, and
expect the present season to close with a grand rush.
. . . .George Kelly, carpet and furniture dealer, 624 and
626 Market street, has purchased the building occupied by
and also the stock of Mrs. Sarah Klein at the southwest
corner of Front and Norris streets, and will continue the
business as a branch of his Market street establishment.
....The firm of William Judge & Brothers was dis-
solved on the 8th ult. by the death of Robert B Judge.
All debts owing to the firm are to be received and all de-
mands on it paid by Wm. B. Judge, executor of Robt. B.
Judge, and James Judge, Robt. B Judge and Agnew
MacBride, trustees of the estate of James Judge, deceased.
....Henry Holmes & Sons, of the Sherman Carpet
Mills, are having an extraordinary demand for their goods,
and every loom is in active operation endeavoring to fill
it, especially the broad looms. James Howard Holmes,
youngest son of the senior partner, has just been placed at
the head of the dyeing department, and is succeeding
admirably in his new position.
John Dunlap & Sons, Eleventh and Cambria streets,
are meeting with an encouraging demand for their va-
rious grades of Ingrains, and have all their looms running.
One of the peculiar features in their trade is the fact
that, notwithstanding the numerous special weaves exist-
ing and in operation, they have thirty looms employed in
weaving Three Ply carpets.
....The late D. O. Swire willed his estate, with the
exception of a small legacy to his unmarried sister, to
his wife without reserve. Mr. Swire left three sisters
and one brother, John P. Swire, who is with Thos. L.
Leedom & Co. The firm of Swire & Scott will be con-
tinued without interruption under the direction of Mr.
Scott, the widow of Mr. Swire leaving her interest
intact.
....The Bromley Brothers Carpet Company struck a
vein when they added Pro-Brussels to their output. Or-
ders have been coming in with such rapidity as to make
it imperative that more looms be added to the original
ones in order to supply the demand. There is also an
increased demand for Art Squares and the larger sizes of
Smyrna rugs. Meanwhile the old reliable Ingrain fabric
is holding its own against all comers.
In the carpet department of Arnold, Constable & Co.
business has been very good and the demand for the firm's
exclusive patterns and high grade goods generally has
been especially large.

Avery. — Oilman W. Avery, president of the Comstock- Avery
Furniture Company, Peoria, 111., tells this story of his start in life:
" I went to work at 510 a month stripping cards in a cotton factory,
leaving home to doit; then I entered a chair factory at a slight
advance, and finally went to Missouri to teach school, and came
home with $500 in gold belted around my waist — far richer than I
have ever felt since, I assure you."
Babimtt. — Frank L. Babbntt, of the Chelsea Jute Mills, has been
re-elected a director of the Long Island Loan and Trust Company,

his Brooklyn friends were present at the marriage ceremony, some
seventy-five going over on a special train.
Cartledge. — John Cartledge, of Joseph Wild & Co., returned to
New York on the 19th ult. He will remain but a short time, and

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
ENTERPRISE IN OMAHA.
HE Ames Building, at Sixteenth
and Farnam streets, Omaha,
Neb., will be occupied after
February 20 by the People's
Furniture and Carpet Company.
The lease for the big building
was signed ia New York last
month by Benjamin Rosenthal,
president of the company. The
news of the rental of the Ames
Building was most gladly re-
ceived by those interested and
Omaha business men generally. For two years the- build-
ing has been vacant, and the fact that such a handsome
and substantial structure should remain idle has been
generally regretted. The last tenant of the building was
the dry goods firm of Oleson Brothers, who sold out the
stock of S. P. Morse.
The building is one of the best business structures in
Omaha. It is constructed of iron, stone and red brick.
It is as nearly fireproof as modern architectural and build-
ing skill can make a structure. It is six stories in height,
with a large basement. On Farnam street there is a front-
age of 41 feet and a depth of 92 feet. On Sixteenth street
the building has a frontage of 55 feet and a depth of 106
feet. There are three elevators, two for passengers and
one for freight. The entire building will be remodeled to
suit the new tenant. The Farnam and the Sixteenth
streets fronts will be improved by the consti'uction of large
plate glass show windows.
The new store will give the People's Furniture and Car-
pet Company 260,000 square feet of floor space — more than
double the amount of floor space in the present quarters
at 1313 to 1317 Farnan street. Within and without the
building will be painted and renovated, and it will be
heated by steam and lighted by electricity, the power
being furnished by the company's own plant in the cellar.
The People's Furniture and Carpet Company started in
business in a small way ten years ago, and has prospered
until it is one of the foremost business houses in Omaha.
The officers of the company are : Benjamin Rosenthal,
president; Maurice Rosenthal, vice-president; F. Geb-
hardt, secretary and treasurer, and Henry Rosenthal,
manager. All but the last named were with the company
when it began business in 1888. Then the company was
located on Sixteenth street, near Webster. First it was
quartered in one small store. A second, a third, a fourth
and a fifth store were soon added. The business kept on
increasing and the company kept on spreading until it had
seven stores — nearly the entire block. Six years ago it
was found necessary to seek larger quarters, and in 1892
the company removed to its present location, 1313 to 1317
Farnam street, and later added two warehouses, 1311 and
1313 Harney street, to the propei-ty occupied. One of
these warehouses will be retained by the company after the
removal to the Ames Building.
Andrew Cochran, the well-known designer, makes a
specialty of original designs for Ingrains and of repeating
cards on the power repeating machine. His studio is at
105 Diamond street, Philadelphia.
William B. Kendall.
William Burrage Kendall, selling agent for the Bigelow
Carpet Company, died at his home, 68 First place, Brook-
lyn, on the 21st ult.
Mr. Kendall was born March 1, 1831, at Sterling, Mass.,
a village near the town of Clinton, where the mills of the
Bigelow Carpet Company are situated. He began his
business career as a clerk in the employ of Henry P. Fair-
banks, father of Charles F. Fairbanks, the present treas-
urer of the Bigelow Carpet Company. Mr. Henry Fair-
banks was engaged in the hardware and saddlery business
at Boston, and was interested in the loom for making
coach lace, which was the first important invention of
Erastus Bigelow, and which contained the germ of the
power carpet loom that brought him fame and fortune.
When Mr. Bigelow decided to organize a carpet manu-
facturing company to make Brussels carpeting on his own
looms, he was joined in the enterprise by his brother and
Henry Fairbanks. In 1854 Mr. Fairbanks died, and the
company was incorporated. It was then decided to es-
tablish a selling agency at New York. Mr. Kendall
was chosen to take charge of it, and coming to New York
this purpose in 1855, he continued to hold the position
until his death.
His sudden and unexpected decease was a sad surprise
and shock to the trade among whom he had moved a
prominent, most highly esteemed and honored figure for
more than forty years. During all this period his record
as a business man remained without a flaw, no small thing
to say of anyone who spent so many years in a trade so
notable as his for keen and close competition.
Of his personal character it would be hai'dly possible to
speak too highly. The word gentleman has been so cheap-
ened by indiscriminate usage that it seems scarcely ade-
quate to define the impression which he made upon all
who knew him, but in its truest, finest sense it is the best
possible term to apply to a man so honorable, high
minded, courteous, dignified, kindly and gentle as Mr.
Kendall.
That all who met him in social or business circles agreed
in their high estimation of his character, is shown clearly
enough by the mere mention of the trusts — financial,
philanthropic and social — held by him, and ever most
conscientiously administered.
He was a director of the Equitable Insurance Company,
the Brooklyn Trust Company, Merchants' National Bank
of New York, State Trust Company, American Surety
Company and other financial institutions. In past years
he had held the same position in the Long Island Railroad
Company, the South Brooklyn Savings Bank and Phenix
Insurance Company. He served as a Park Commissioner
of Brooklyn and as president and later treasurer of the
Merchants' Club of New York, as treasurer of the Brook-
lyn Club, vice-president of the Hamilton Club and vice-
president of the Brooklyn Library. He was also a mem-
ber of the Long Island Historical Society, the Apollo
Club and the New York Chamber of Commerce.
He made Brooklyn his home soon after leaving his na-
tive State, and the house on First place in which he died
had been his dwelling place for thirty years, excepting
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
during the summer months, when he occupied his country
house at Babylon, L. I.
The untimely death of his son, William B. Kendall, Jr ,
about five years ago was a blow from which he never fully
recovered, and it undoubtedly hastened his own death, for
although advanced in years he was a man of fine physique
and until this bereavement remarkably free from serious
illness of any kind.
The funeral services were held on the 24th ult. at his
late home in the presence of a large gathering of friends,
among whom were many of New York and Brooklyn's
leading men. The casket containing the remains was
completely hidden by flowers and the mantel above it
was also covered with floral ofiierings. The Protestant
Episcopal ritual for the burial of the dead was read by the
Rev. Dr. McConnell, of Trinity Church, Brooklyn.
Among the pall bearers were John Sloane, of W. & J.
Sloane, and Charles F. Fairbanks. The remains were in-
terred in Greenwood Cemetery.
The many other members of the carpet trade present
included :
John Cartledge, of Joseph Wild & Co. ; W. D. Sloane,
Henry T. Sloane and John Inglis, of W. & J Sloane ; Ralph
Cutter and Wm. H. Sheehy, of Smith, Hogg & Gardner;
R. P. Perkins, vice-president E. S. Higgins Carpet Com-
pany; William M. Daintrey, of Arnold, Constable & Co.;
T. J. Keveney, of T. J. Keveney & Co. ; Rudolph Sherer,
of the R. H. & B. C. Reeve Company; Harold Hadden,
of Hadden & Co. ; J. N. Beach, John Miller and J. C. Sey-
mour, of Tefft, Weller & Co. ; H.J. Fairchild and Law-
rence Winters, of the H. B. Claflin Company ; Amos Van
Gaasbeek, of Van Gaasbeek & Arkell; John Gibb, of
Mills & Gibb; Wm. Berri, of Wm. Berri's Sons; George
M. Lincoln and John Gray hurst, of John Wanamaker;
John R. Kendrick, of the Trades Publishing Company,
Philadelphia; J. B. Fitzgerald; Frank B. TinelH, of J. &
J. Dobson; H. F. Holden, Charles P. Starr, H. G. Plimp-
ton, Wm. T. Gooch, F. P. Whiting, George H. Bell,
Thomas Boyce, George Boggs and H. P. Fairbanks, of the
Bigelow Carpet Company; Howard Marshall, of Joseph
Wild & Co. ; M. J. Bailey, P. B. Spooner, Charles Hoag-
land, Francis Pringle, Edward Gilbert, Richard Ivors; H.
D. McCutcheon and George H. Kelley, of Harden-
bergh & Co. ; Edward H. Bailey, T. A. Kennett and F. V.
Fletcher, of The Review staff.
As a mark of respect to Mr. Kendall, many of the stores
and offices in the wholesale dry goods district of this city
were closed while the funeral services were taking place,
and this was especially the case on Worth and Leonard
streets.
At a meeting of Boston carpet dealers held at the office
of John H. Pray, Sons & Co. in that city on the 34th ult.
the following resolutions were adopted :
Whereas, It has pleased the Divine Will to remove from us and
take unto Himself our friend and associate in business, Mr. Wm. B
Kendall,
Resolved, That in the parting from our friend for a season we
fully realize that a truly good man has gone, who possessed all the
fiaer qualities which the word " goDd" in its broadest sense signi-
fies. As a gentleman and high toned merchant he was a most
worthy example — courteous, kind and possessing a lovable disposi-
tion which ever displayed itself. His large interest in the Bigelow
Carpet Company naturally demanded constant and devoted atten-
tion for more than forty years, but he was ever mindful of others' in-
terest in the company, and perhaps for this reason applied himself
more closely than one less conscientious would have done.
Resolved, That we feel assured that we voice the sentiments of
the carpet dealers and manufacturers of the entire country, as ex-
pressed in these resolutions.
Resob'ed, That a copy of these resolutions be sent' to the family
of Mr. Kendall and also to the carpet trade papers of New York and
Philadelphia.
Eliza J. Wild, widow of the late Joseph Wild, died at
her home in Bay Ridge, L. L, on the 24th ult.
Thompson Newbury, founder and principal shareholder
of the Taunton Oil Cloth Company, Taunton, Mass , died
in that city on the 16th ult., at the age of seventy-eight
years. He leaves two sons and three daughters.
Nathaniel P. Coomes died at his home in Worcester,
Mass., on January 10, at the age of sixty-nine years. He
had an attack of the grip a year ago and had been in feeble
health since that time. He left a widow and a daughter.
He was for a number of years overseer of the printing
department of the Bigelow carpet mills at Clinton, Mass.

A VICTORY FOR THE BISSELL COMPANY.
LAST November the Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company
brought suit against G. Greiner & Co. in the English
Chancery Court to prevent the use by these defendants of
a certain title or name which could not be registered as a
trade mark. The court has decided the suit in favor of
the plaintiff as is shown by the following opinion and rul-
ing of Mr. Justice Sterling:
Upon the application of the plaintiffs by summons dated No-
vember 26, 1897, and upon hearing the solicitors for the plaintiffs
and for the defendants, and upon reading the plaintiff's statement of
cUim, and the plaintiffs and defendants by their solicitors respect-
ively consenting thereto.
The judge doth order that the defendants, G. Greiner & Co., their
servants and agents, be perpetually restrained from selling or offer
ing or advertising for sale under the term "Grand Rapids," " Grand
Rapids Moquette " or "Grand Rapids Sweeperette " any carpet
sweepers not manufactured by the plaintiffs, and from selling or
offering for sale any carpet sweepers not manufactured by the
plaintiffs under any name or description of which the words "Grand
Rapids" form part, without clearly distinguishing such carpet
sweepers from those of the plaintiffs.
And it is ordered that the defendants, G. Greiner & Co., do deliver
up upon oath to the plaintiffs, the Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company,
all documents (if any) in the possession or power or under the con-
trol of the defendants, their servants and agents which exhibit the
term "Grand Rapids," "Grand Rapids Moquette" or "Grand
Rapids Sweeperette " as the name of any carpet sweepers not manu-
factured by the plaintiffs.
And it is ordered that the defendants, G. Greiner & Co., do pay to
the plaintiffs, the Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company, the sum of £%
by way of damages.
And it is ordered that it be referred to the taxing master to tax
the costs of the plaintiffs' of this action, including the costs of this
application. And it is ordered that the defendants, G. Greiner &
Co. , do pay to the plaintiffs, the Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company,
the amount of their said costs when so taxed.
T. V. BoARDMAN has become manager of the Phenix
Carpet Company, Birmingham, Ala., and left that city on
the 25th ult. for the East, where he will replenish his stock
of carpets, draperies, &c.

REGULATING AUCTION SALES.
"GREAT OAKS FROM LITTLE ACORNS GROW."
^EMBLYMAN T. D. SULUVAN haS
introduced at Albany a bill pro-
viding for the appointment by
the State Controller of an
auction agent, to supervise
auctions and auctioneers.
The salary is to be $3,000
per year. The bill provides
that the agent shall take
such proceedings as may be
necessary to secure the revocation of licenses of a.iic-
tioneers violating the laws of this State in reference to
sales at auction, and to have their bonds given under the
provisions of this act declared forfeited. The fee for tak-
ing and approving such bonds shall be $10, to be paid to
the Controller of the State.
Any person who shall at any auction sale of personal
property make a fictitious bid shall be guilty of a misde-
meanor. Any auctioneer who shall make or cause to be
made any false or fraudulent representations or state-
ments in respect to the character of such sale or the party
authorizing the same or the quality, condition, ownership,
situation or value of any personal property offered by him
for sale at public auction shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor, and on conviction thereof shall be punished by
imprisonment not exceeding one year or by a fine not ex-
ceeding $1,000.
The bill is expected to act as a check upon the fraudu-
lent auction sales of Oriental rugs which are still carried
on in spite of all efforts thus far made to stop them.
SALT LAKE CITY SITTINGS.
Charles M. Freed, manager of the Freed Furniture and
Carpet Company, told a reporter last month that business
had been very good during the past year; better than in
1896, but still under his expectations for 1898. He attrib-
uted the increase to the influx of new people because of
the segregation of the Short Line, and other causes that
have added 500 to 600 families to the population of the
city. "The activity of the gold mines also contributed,"
he added, "as they have more than offset the loss by the
closing of the silver properties. The farmer has been pros-
perous, too. His wool, beef and sheep have brought good
prices, and we have shared in his good fortune."
Henry Dinwoodey, of the Dinwoodey Furniture Com-
pan)', expressed to a reporter for a local paper, much pleas-
ure with the business done by his company during the year.
"Our December business was the largest for any single
month since the panic of 1893," said he. " Since July last
our sales have been 20 per cent, better than in 1896, and
there was a decided improvement in the first half of the year
over 1896. This increase is due to the better prices obtained
by the farmers for their products. The opening of new
gold mines has also helped the general prosperity wonder-
fully. Wages are not so high as in the past, but fully as
many men are employed. The prospects for 1898 appear
excellent. We expect a big increase over the past year's
business."
THE cut herewith represents one front of the handsome
building of Walker & Linde, dealers in carpets, fur-
niture, bedding, upholstery, &c., at the junction of Ridge
and Columbia avenues, in the northwestern section of Phila-
delphia. The building fronts on both avenues, and is 125
feet in depth by 55 feet in width, and consists of four
floors and a finished basement, covering an area of 30,000
square feet. It is supplied with an elevator, a complete
steam heating, power and electric light plant, and all other
conveniences. The firm is composed of J. H. Walker and
Henry Linde, both young men of high standing and integ-
rity. They started
originally in the car-
pet business in a
small way a few
blocks from their
present location, oc-
cupying one floor,
about 18 by 55 feet
in size. They re-
mained there eight
years, but for some
time their quarters
had been too small
to properly handle
their inc reasing
trade. Realizing
the tendency of the
times toward de-
partmental methods
in business, and be-
ing imbued with the laudable ambition to occupy a
place among the important houses of the city, they con-
cluded to branch out into furniture and other lines. In
the spring of 1896 they commenced the erection of their
present building, and opened there in October of the same
year with a large and well selected stock. Success has
crowned their efforts, and they now carry a stock valued
at $70,000, which is being constantly increased. They
have gained the confidence and good will of the public,
and are now thoroughly established as a first-class firm,
with every prospect of occupying a still higher position in
their chosen field.

THE DEPARTMENT MANAGER.
J?\ /"^
== vc_- ,:i> jj the 15th ult. forty of the asso-
ciates of John C. Eames, who is
now the general manager of
the H. B. Claflin Company,
gave him a dinner at the
Astoria. It was lield in the
myrtle room, already de-
scribed in these columns — and
concededly one of the love-
— ivflpfe ^-V "C^ "" ^ S^ liest apartments in the world.
". < A' •*• . \ _'^-e isl The affair was one which will
long be remembered by every
participant.
The third on the list of
toasts was:
Department Managers.
" Whate'er he did, was done with so much ease
In him alone, 'twas natural to please."
It was responded to by Lawrence Winters, who made
the following capital speech :
In rising to reply to this toast, I must confess to some embarrass-
ment, and could have wished, for your part at least, some manager
more able and capable than myself had been assigned this task.
However, whatever hesitation was manifested on my part was be-
cause of a consciousness of my own inability or shortcomings in this
direction, but these are outweighed a thousand times by the oppor-
tunity presented me to pay a tribute of respect to one of the grandest
men and greatest merchants this country has ever known.
Longfellow said that
" Lives of great men oft remind us
We can make our lives sublime.
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time."
And these lines never appealed with more directness or force than
to the memory of our great founder. He indeed has left his foot-
prints on the sands of this century. He has left his indelible mark
on the pages of the commercial history of this nation, there to en-
dure for all time, to shine out as a beacon light of all that was noble,
elevating and grand in his intercourse with his fellow man.
" A man," as the immortal bard said, "take him all in all, we
shall not look upon his like again." But, Mr. Chairman, ourfounder
has left us more than a treasured and revered memory. With that
prudence and foresight of which his whole life was so characteristic
he suggested a business course to his favored son. How well the
fullness of his hopes have been realized in this direction, you and I
know. The eyes of the financial and commercial world have been
focused on Mr. Claflin and his company for the past four years — the
most disastrous, both financially and commercially, this country has
ever known — but with that rare business tact that is his by right of
inheritance he has so successfully managed his great company that
the great plans of that fond father have been carried to a successful
consummation.
But since I have wandered so far from my set toast I feel sure you
will excuse a further slight digression while I pay my respects to our
guest and reiterate all that my friend Mr. Wile has said so well. He
came among us scarcely two years ago. We have learned to appre-
ciate him for his sterling qualities as a man, and know he will honor-
ably fill the important position he is called to.
And now, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, to answer the toast, per-
mit me to say I hardly know where to begin. Were I to stand here
and eulogize the heads of departments, I imagine I hear you saying
"Winters is throwing bouquets at himself"; were I to parade the
shortcomings of my associates, you can imagine the reception I
would receive on Monday morning when I reached the store. There-
fore, I will confine my remarks to the departments and state that I
have been a close observer of them for the past twenty years, and at
no time during that period have our departments been so strong,
popular or well manned as at the present time.
But, gentlemen, a popular department with a good stock is no more
all that is essential to a successful season than a single swallow
makes a glorious summer. We need other elements — we need the
co-operation of the general salesmen as a unifying force, and with-
out this force our elTorts become nil. Therefore, general salesmen,
let me appeal to you to take this matter into your serious considera-
tion. You will not find the manager in any sense a unique charac-
ter. Human nature is pretty near the same all over the house, it
matters not whether you find it on the first floor or the top of the
house.
Sometimes I think, considering our great advantages, we do not
accomplish all that we might, situated as we are in this grand im-
perial city, this great commercial gateway of international inter-
course, whence thousands of our Argosies are daily sailing with our
manufactured products to every known clime. This grand centre,
with its multiplicity of railroads and steamships to increase every
facility for the shipment of goods to all parts of this great continent.
It does seem to me that sometimes we do not appreciate our great
advantages. Do we fully appreciate the grand house we represent,
the rich heritage of over a half century of fair, honest and upright
dealings which should inspire us to renewed efiiorts? The past of
the house is glorious, the present hopeful, and the future will be
grand, for it is in our power to make it so.
And now, gentlemen, as there have been many toasts offered,
with your permission I will offer one alike to those who could not be
with us, and those who have gone to that "bourne from which no
traveler returns" ;
" Fill up your glasses, let the bright wine flow.
As sunset fades to afterglow,
To drink a health to those we hold most dear.
Absent or present, far or near.
Let every sip recall a thought of love
Pure as the nectar of the gods above;
Let every wish be heartfelt and true.
Banish all anger that you ever knew.
And drink a bumper to the thought
Of those we love or those we ought,
And wish all brightness on life's weary way.
And that their to-morrow may be as bright a day
As any that has been — Drink
To this toast and say with me. Amen."
NOVEL RUG BANNER.
IN our issue of the 15th ult. reference was made to a
notable banner which hangs on the wall of the Fries-
Breslin Company's New York salesroom, 41 Union
square, and we now present on page 39 a cut which gives
a clearer idea of the unique arrangement. It is composed
of an Oriental rug, having in the centre a portrait of a
Moor finely painted on canvas and fastened to the rug.
The portrait was painted by Miss Akers, daughter of
E. T. Akers, manager of the rug department of L. S.
Ayres & Co., Indianapolis, Ind. Mr. T. J. Breshn found
the banner on sale at the store of Ayres & Co., and rec-
ognizing at once its artistic merit, purchased it.
Furs, rugs, carpets and other valuable woolen goods are
now preserved during the summer heat in refrigerated
chambers. Experiments have been made to find out the
proper temperature at which to keep such articles safe
from clothes moths, black carpet beetles, leather beetles,
the dark meal worm and a cabinet beetle. It was found
that a temperature of 40° to 42° Fahr. in summer was suffi-
cient. The cold storage companies have hitherto kept
them at a temperature of 12° to 20° Fahr., which is more
than enough.

ALEX. MORTON & CO.'S PROFIT SHARING PLAN.
THE NEW SYSTEM ANNOUNCED AND EXPLAINED AT A SOCIAL MEETING OF
THEIR EMPLOYEES.
OME interesting facts in the history of the curtain trade
S'
employees of Alexander Morton & Co., manufacturers of
lace and chenille curtains, Axminster carpets, &c., Darvel,
Scotland. Nearly 1,000 persons were present at the meet-
ing which was arranged by the employees for the purpose
of presenting a watch to Mr. Alexander Morton and a tea
service to his wife. In acknowledging the gifts, Mr.
Morton took occasion to announce that his firm would in
future allow its employees to share in the profits of the
business by means of a sys-
tem of bonuses. Mr. Will-
iam Cleland, foreman of the
lace weaving department,
acted as chairman, and in
the course of his speech,
which opened the meeting,
he said that twenty-five
years ago all the weaving in
Darvel was done on hand
looms, and that the intro-
duction of lace machines
into Ayreshire and the great
increase in the prosperity of
the district which followed,
were to be credited to Mr.
Alexander Morton, who,
starting as a manufacturer
twenty-two years ago, had
by his energy, ability and
enterprise established an
immense business in the
manufacture of lace cur-
tains, tapestry and chenilles,
silk and muslin goods and
Axminster carpets. I n
closing his address Mr.
Cleland made an appro-
priate reference to some im-
portant improvements re-
cently made in the mills,
among them being the ad-
dition of another building,
the introduction of electric
lights, a new engine, &c.,
and the sterhng traits of
Mr. Morton as a man, as
well as an employer, were also referred to very happily
and pertinently.
Alexander Morton & Co. are now well known in the
United States where Messrs. Hunter & Whitcomb, of
New York, act as seUing agents for their goods.

A SIGNIFICANT DEFEAT.
DENVER DEPARTMENT STORES ATTEMPT TO DISPENSE WITH ADVERTISEMENTS,
BUT FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DO SO.
A HIGHLY interesting conflict between the daily newsr
papers of Denver, Col., on one side, and the proprie-
tors of fourteen large department stores in that city on the
other, has resulted in the total defeat and surrender of the
shopkeepers. The fight began on the 8th ult. when the
Merchants' Association, which is a combination of proprie-
tors of department stores, notified the newspapers that
they must reduce their advertising rates to the extent of
30 per cent., and that a refusal of this demand would re-
sult in the withdrawal of all the advertising business of
the stores. The newspapers
promptly refused to submit
to these terms, and the ad-
vertisements were with-
drawn as had been threat-
ened, but public sentiment
stimulated by the labor
unions and the smaller
retail dealers was at once
aroused against the depart-
ment stores, and the feel-
ing became so intense that
the stores were almost de-
serted. Their proprietors
held out for nine days, but
it then became clear that
they must yield or close
their establishments, and
they concluded to SLirrender
unconditionally. They have
agreed to advertise as usual
and the newspapers have
also obliged them to pay
higher rates than they had
paid before.
The feeling aroused
against them may have
further unpleasant results,
for a bill has been intro-
duced into the City Council,
which provides for certain
regulations and restrictions
of department stores which
are liable to interfere con.
siderably with their busi-
ness.
W. &. J. Sloane have taken the account of Jones &
Green, manufacturers of jute rugs at Philadelphia, under
the style of the Anatolian Rug Manufacturing Company.
W. & J. Sloane will show the complete line of these goods
which come in four sizes and in a large range of handsome
Oriental effects.
The report that the Nairn Linoleum Company intended
to manufacture floor oil cloth also at their works in Kear-
ney, N. J., is denied by them.
Chairman Hicks, of the House Committee on Patents,
has introduced three bills proposing important changes as
to patents and copyrights. One of these is of special in-
terest to newspaper publishers, and was introduced after
conference between Mr. Hicks and the American News-
paper Publishers' Association. It amends the copyright
laws so that the line production in a daily newspaper of
photographs other than those relating to fine arts shall not
be a violation of the laws.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
E. S. HIGGINS CARPET COMPANY'S SALESROOMS.
IN our issue of the 15th ult. we noted the removal of the
E. S. Higgins Carpet Company to their new sales-
rooms and offices, No. 41 Union square west, corner of
Seventeenth street, and we now present herewith three
cuts showing the interior of their handsome and spacious
quarters.
Cut 1 of the illustrations represents the main salesroom
which is 30x175 feet, with windows on Seventeenth street
and Union square. This room is used for the display of
the company's famous Tapestries and Velvets, and the
fine north light which comes through the long line of
windows on the Seventeenth street side renders it an
admii-able place for the showing of samples. The offices
for bookkeepers and clerks are also shown in the picture.
The room is reached by the elevator or the stairs, being
but one flight up.
In cut No. 3 the chief feature is the elegantly furnished
reception room for customers, which is provided with
everything essential for the comfort and convenience of
visiting buyers. The private office of Mr. R. P. Perkins,
vice-president of the company, is at the left of the picture,
and at the desk on the right, the trade will find Mr. George
S. Squire ready to greet them in his usual cordial, pleas-
ant way. The other desks shown are for salesmen, and
there will be found the "Old Guard," including such
veterans as Hamilton Higgins, John Healey, J. W.
Thompson and M. L. Bradley.
The third cut represents the wing in the rear, which is
22x92 feet, and is used as the Ingrain salesroom. The
office at the left is occupied by M. C. Warner, of the
credit department.
The company are now comfortably settled in their bright,
cheerful, handsome quarters, and the numerous visitors
who have already called include not only old customers
but many new ones. The popularity of the Higgins' goods
in the trade is due not simply to their quality but to the
uniformity of quality which has always characterized every
grade, and this highly important feature of the company's
products will be firmly maintained. The old store in White
street has been used temporarily for the storage and ship-
ping of goods, but all this will soon be done at the
mills, where a large storehouse has been recently added
to the plant.
Thomas L. Leedom & Co. have purchased the large
mills occupied by them at Bristol, Pa. The price paid is
$90,000, and the original cost of the mills was $108,000.
The purchase is a striking proof — if any were needed — of
the immense demand for the product of Leedom & Co.'s
mills. At the New York office, Mr. Samuel Thomas, of
the firm, reports trade as excellent in every grade of
goods made by them.

WILL OF WILLIAM T. BUCKLEY.
THE will of William T. Bitckley, formerly of the firm
of Dunham, Buckley & Co., of this city, who died
on the 6th tilt., has been filed in the Surrogate's office.
The estate is inventoried as "less than ,|25,000 real
property and less than $25,000 personal property."
The testator named in his will his wife, Frederika
R. Buckley, and his brother, Charles R. Buckley,
as executors, and bequeathes to his brothers, John
D. and Charles R. Buckley, his one-third interest in the
undivided estate of his mother, except his share of the
family silver, this to be in full settlement of all claims of
said estate against him for moneys advanced to testator
before his mother's death. The above-named brothers
are to receive also one-third of the testator's share of mort-
gage on Tenth street property, Brooklyn, in which mort-
gage Mercy T. Buckley has a life interest.
The testator directs that all balances due him as partner
in the several firms styled Dunham, Buckley & Co., after
the payment of all just debts, be divided equally between
the wife, Frederika, and Thomas Townsend Buckley, an
only son. Testator also bequeathes one-third interest in
the homestead farm at Marlboro, Ulster County, N. Y. ,
consisting of 60 acres and subject to a life interest of
Mercy T. Buckley, and one-third interest in a lot at
Greenwood Cemetery to his son, Thomas Townsend
Buckley. To the wife are bequeathed all insurance moneys
that may be realized from several life and accident policies
upon the life of the testator and upon the life of Mrs.
Buckley's father, William C. Fowler, upon condition that
she relinquish all dower right she may have in the Kings
County and Ulster County real estate bequeathed to the
brothers of the testator as above mentioned.
The wife and son are named in the will as residuary
legatees of all other property, real and personal, of which
decedent may be possessed, including the home at Far
Rockawa)-.
BUTCHER'S BOSTON POLISH.
ON page 90 of this issue the Butcher Polish Company,
9 Haverhill street, Boston, call attention to their
celebrated polish for floors, linoleums, interior woodwork
and furniture. It is regarded as the best floor finish made
and has not a single objectionable feature. It is not
brittle, will neither scratch nor deface like shellac or var-
nish and is not soft and sticky like beeswax. It is per-
fectly transparent, preserving the natural color and beauty
of the wood for years. Write for circulars, &c.
Capt. Henri Duncker and his son, Charles Duncker, of
the Trorlicht, Duncker & Renard Company, St. Louis,
evidently believe in plenty of house room, as they have re-
cently moved into a handsome new double stone house
built under their personal direction and containing seven-
teen rooms. It stands on a plot of ground 160 by 170 feet,
so there is plenty of room outside as well as inside. The
remittances of the Trorlicht, Duncker & Renard Com-
pany to W. & J. Sloane within one week in December
amounted to over $100,000, which gives some insight into
the quantity of goods this house bought at the Sloane sale
of November.

ALFRED E. WOODMAN.
ALFRED E. Woodman, formerly with H. P. Wasson &
Co., Indianapolis, and who has had partial charge of
the Oriental rug- department of Strawbridge & Clothier,
Philadelphia, since its institution about a year ago, has
been promoted to full charge of not only the Oriental, but
of the Occidental branch, and will henceforth do all the
purchasing of the en-
tire department. Mr.
Woodman has been
more than usually
successful in securing
the gems of the Ori-
ent to show in his de-
partment, and many
experts in his line
have spoken in high
terms of the taste he
has displayed in the
diiiicult task of select-
ing really handsome
rugs and carpets pro-
duced in the far East.
Mr. Woodman has
celebrated his promo-
tion by putting his department into a very inviting
shape, by arranging the most attractive of his rugs into
artistic forms along the walls, and enclosing the entire
space allotted him, thereby producing the darkness sup-
posed to be essential in the display of Eastern productions.
During his residence in Philadelphia Mr. Woodman, by
his genial manner and pleasant address, has made many
friends in the city of his adoption.
J, W. BARKER AT SEATTLE.
IX our issue of the 15th ult. we published a statement
from Arthur Barker to the effect that his father, James
W. Barker, had been foiind. The sudden disappearance
of Mr. Barker, Sr., on December 8 last, had been noted in
The Review of January 1. It was then supposed that he
was suffering from mental trouble caused by financial dif-
ficulties following his purchase of the Norristown Carpet
Mills, at Norristown, Pa. Since our last issue it has been
learned that he is now at vSeattle, Wash., and will not
return to Norristown. His daughter and his son Harold
have joined him at Seattle.
Brush & Alberts, the enterprising carpet and furniture
dealers, of Montgomery street, Jersey City, lead all the
retailers in the State in the beauty of the calendar they are
sending to their patrons.
Lord & Tavlor have become so thoroughly recognized
in the trade as handlers of fine Oriental rugs that many
dealers apparently lose sight of the fact that the firm also
carries the lower cost weaves in large quantities. To the
average retailer, selection by the piece instead of compul-
sory purchase by the bale, must always prove an attractive
argument, and this is particularly the case when the range
for selection is wide and varied.

he hopes to be in Dawson City March 1.
Articles of incorporation were filed recently by Mandel
Brothers with the Secretary of State at Springfield. The
capital stock is $1,000,000. The incorporators are Leon
Simon and Emanuel Mandel. Mr. Leon Mandel said the
object was to perpetuate the name of the establishment,
and that there would be no change in the affairs of the
firm.
The Chicago oifice of S. Sanford & Sons, Room 72,
Lees Building, 147 Fifth avenue, is perhaps the best show-
room in the city among the mill men. It is larger than
any of the others and is lighted on two sides. Frank
Schlegel, the Western manager for the house, now has a
private office at one end of the room, and Walter Treloar,
Mr. Schlegel's associate, has his desk on a railed platform
at the other. Both Mr. Treloar and Mr. Schlegel have
recently returned from successful trips.
Messrs. Burgess and Pillman, who represent the Ivins,
Dietz & Metzger Company here, are about to refurnish
their office on the ninth floor of the Lee's Building, 147
Fifth avenue. The company has made a Wilton rug
expressly for the office, which will be separated from the
rest of the room by a railing. The walls and ceiling will
be retinted, and the place will be refurnished throughout.
Mr. Burgess is expected home to-day from his trip to the
Coast. He reports a big business, and Mr. Pillman says
his trade was the best he'ever had.
Manager Litt, of Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co.'s wholesale
department, has heard nothing for a month from A. C.
Frost, who went out to represent the firm in the South-
west. When last heard from Mr. Frost was at Kansas
City, where his sample cases were found. This was his
first trip for the house. He was formerly with Marshall
Field & Co. Mr. Frost has a wife and three children in
Chicago, who are equally mystified by his disappearance.
Burglars entered the establishment of Henry Noee &
Co., wholesale cut carpets, at Market and Monroe streets,
on the night of January 23. They broke open all the
desks in the place, but took only a few articles of small
value. R. H. H.
TRADE IN OREGON.
HENRY Jenning, carpct and furniture dealer, Portland,
informed a representative of a local paper that, after
taking stock and balancing the books, the results for 1897
were more satisfactory than for any year since 1891. Mr.
Jenning reports the outlook for 1898 as very promising,
as he is receiving almost daily large orders for shipment
to Alaska, and the last steamer sailing from Portland took
six tons of freight from his establishment and he was to
send eight tons more furniture, stoves, &c., on the next
steamer. The last few years, Mr. Jenning said, gave him
that tired feeling, but now he feels like a turkey gobbler
that has escaped the usual holiday slaughter.
The fact that Portland possesses an establishment which
carries a stock equal to anything that can be found west
of Chicago is a matter for considerable home pride. The
H. C Breeden Company, at Second and Morrison streets,
occupies a four story and basement building, each of the
five floors being utilized to its full capacity. In all the
company occupies a total of 50,000 square feet, the build-
ing being 100 feet on each street. On the first floor, to
the right, is the carpet department. A polished floor has
been laid upon which to make a display, and with an
abundance of light from the full front window the buyer
is able to see the full effect. A little at one side from this
department is a handsomely fitted up counting room con-
nected with Mr. Breeden's private office. To the left, at
the centre of the store, is the curtain department.
Through the centre of the main floor is a line of desks and
office tables. In the rear is the shipping department.
Passing to the second floor, upon a combined passenger
and freight elevator, there are found bedroom and dining
room furniture, sideboards, brass and iron bedsteads, &c.
The third lioor is given up to upholstered goods. In a side
room there is an art department, showing the various
effects of well arranged pieces of furniture with art
work. The next floor is used for upholstery work, a
sewing room, a polishing room and for unpacking goods.
In the basement a vast amount of stock is stored. The
whole building is heated by steam and lighted by elec-
tricity. From thirty-five to forty persons are employed in
the establishment, and it is safe to say that it is one of the
largest and most important furniture establishments on
the Pacific Coast.
An underwriters' fire sale of special importance will take
place in New York soon. The goods to be sold comprise
the entire stock of the retail carpet store of J. & J. Dob-
son, on Chestnut street, Philadelphia, which was burned
out some weeks ago. The sale will be by auction and due
notice of the place and time appointed for it will be given
in The Review.

Henry Jacobs, dealer in carpets, oil cloths, &c., 1131
Main street, Wheehng, W. Va., writes to The Review:
" Business for this time of the year is fairly good, and the
outlook for a good spring trade is very encouraging. We
have all we can do now, and trade generally is satisfac-
tory."
In the County Court at Decatur, 111., on January 12, the
Abel Carpet and Wall Paper Company, which, since 1887,
has been doing a large business in the Arcade Block there,
made a voluntary assignment to J. W. Race. The liabili-
ties are listed at $10,500, but there is no schedule of the
assets, which consist entirely of the stock of goods.
A deed of assignment was filed at the clerk's office in
Lynchburg, Va., from A. S. Thompson, doing a carpet
and furniture business under the firm name of J. L.
Thompson & Co., to James W. Wray, trustee. The total
liabilities are estimated at about $5,000. After providing
for the costs of the trust, the creditors are divided into
four classes.
Edward White, dry goods and carpet dealer, Plainfield,
N. J., has purchased property adjoining his store. When
the leases of the present tenants expire, about April 1,
Mr. White will convert the building into an addition to his
present store by removing the partitions which now
separate them. The structures are three stories in height
and all the floor space which they contain will be utilized.
A uniform front, with one central entrance, will be
arranged to the stores, and they will be fitted with hand-
some plate glass windows and otherwise made attractive
and suitable to the needs of a large general store. The
front of the new store will then measure 80 feet on Front
street, and the floor space will extend back 185 feet. A
number of improvements, such as new plumbing, steam
heating and electric light fittings throughout will be added
to the new building, making it one of the most complete
establishments of its character in the State. The carpet
stock will occupy the third floor.
ADVERTISING IN THE REVIEW.
Cleveland, January 15, 1898.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review:
Permit me to state that through advertising in The
Review for a situation as a cutter I have obtained it with
a good flrm in this city, viz., the Root & McBride Com-
pany. Thanking you for your assistance, I remain,
John W. Ward.
HE ISN'T PRETTY, BUT
IN the advertisement of Joseph Wild & Co. in this issue
will be found a portrait of the tutelary divinity who
presides over the destinies of the firm's China matting
department. He was sketched from life by a Chinese
artist, and the original picture can be seen hanging in the
Worth street warerooms. He simply wishes to call atten-
tion to the fact that no buyer who comes to this market
can afford to miss .seeing the stock of straw mattings now
on show at Joseph Wild & Co. 's.
PARK CARPET MILLS.
THE new advertisement of John Gay's Sons, on page 6
of this issue is well calculated to interest the trade.
The Park Mills Ingrains are know and appreciated by
every dealer, and the Rajah Art Carpets and Flemish Tap-
estries are also certain to be in great demand for the open-
ing of the spring retail season.
The Messrs. Gay's complete line is shown at their mills,
Howard and Norris streets, Philadelphia ; the New York
office, Hartford Building, Broadway and Seventeenth
street; at 564 Washington street, Boston; 186 Market
street, Chicago, and 916 Market street, San Francisco.
A BILL has been introduced into the New York Assem-
bly making it a misdemeanor to issue trading stamps.
Legislation to the same effect is pending in Virginia,
Tennessee, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
The Staines inlaid linoleum is coming into increased use

THE MANUFACTURERS' CONVENTION.
THE third annual convention of the National Association
of Manufacturers was held in Xew York, beginning
on the 25th and ending on the 57th ult. President Theo-
dore C. Search occupied the chair and on the second day
of the convention delivered an able address, which was
devoted mainly to the subject of our trade relations with
foreign countries. At the last session, on the i!7th ult., the
three principal officers of the association were re-elected,
as follows: President, Theodore C. Search; treasurer,
Chas. A. Schieren; secretary, E. P. Wilson. It was
decided to hold the nest meeting at Cincinnati.
An especially interesting feature of the convention was
the banquet at the Astoria- Waldorf Hotel on the night of
the -2 7th ult., and at which President McKinley was the
guest of honor. It had been expected that in his speech
on the occasion the President would make some important
declarations in regard to the financial policy of the Gov-
ernment, and in this respect there was no disappointment,
the main subject of the address being the necessity for
strict adherence to the gold standard. The President's
emphatic and unequivocal remarks to this esect were
received with great enthusiasm.

factory business in volume so far this spring, as 150 looms
are still running on orders, Mr. Wright also says that
their sales have been made at the best prices of the
season for standard goods, and a considerable number of
orders have been lost through not meeting other quota-

considerably above the best figures of the spring season,

A PROGRESSIVE RUG AND MATTING FIRM.
As stated in The Review of January 15, the nrm of Fritz.
La Rue & Sinn was succeeded by Fritz & La Rue
on January 1. The change is practically in firm name
only, as Charles B. Fritz and Walter M. La Rue, who com-
pose the new firm, have been the managers and active
partners in the business since its foundation eight j-ears
ago. The rise of this concern forms one of the most not-
able instances of business success in the wholesale carpet
trade during the past decade, a period, too, not remarkable
for general business progression.
Fritz, La Rue & Sinn were first located at 4"2S Fjont
street, Philadelphia, where they commenced business as
manufacturers of goat skin rugs and importers of Oriental
rugs. They shortly removed to 214 Chestnut street, and
in 1892 located in the large loft at 1122 Market street, over
Boyd, Harley & Co., and added the importation of China
and Japan mattings.
In these quarters the business expanded rapidly and
the firm were soon known throughout the country as
among the leading importers of Oriental rugs and carpets,
China and Japan mattings, and manufacturers of goat skin
rugs.
Two years ago they leased three doors at 112^ and 1130
Market street, thus securing an exceptionally large space
for displaying such goods. They confined their attention
solely to wholesaling these goods, and by wise selec-
tions in choice rugs and carpets, and novel and handsome
styles in mattings, together with always straightforward
business methods they have attained a foremost place in
extent of business and in the good will of buyers.
Large carpets of Turkish, Persian and Indian makes
have been a specialty with the firm, both in antique and
modem effects, and some notably big bills have been sold
to the best rug buyers of the country, both in large car-
pets and the small rug sizes.
The firm's matting importations have been sold up very
clean every season, and the trade have come to look upon
them as the safest kind of gxx)ds to handle, Mr. Fritz
and Mr, La Rue are yet young men, both being under
forty, and with the record of the past eight years' accom-
plishments we may expect the firm of Fritz & La Rue to
continue as a leading example of bnaness enterprise and
success in the floor coverinsr trade.
A LARGE and well varied stock of carpeting, floor oil
cloths, mattings and upholstery goods is offered to the
trade in the jobbing department of Sheppard Knapp &
Co.. Sixth avenue. Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets.
New York, The offerings comprise careful selections
from the most desirable styles and grades of leading
manufectnrers and in them the demands of every class of
trade are met conapletely.
A new department with Yardum Brothers & Co. is
Damascus art wares and draperies, which are under the
charge of Antoine Donmiar, a native Syrian, who has
heretofore sold goods to large American houses direct from
Damascus. The line of curtains and draperies is specially
attractive, and as the goods are very fashionable just now,
buyers should view this firm's attractive assortm^it at
their new salesroom, 594 and 596 Broadway, New York.

decided to make provision for a larger product.
W. T. Kilborn &Co., dealers in carpets, &c., Portland,

which has been organized for the purpose of buying, sell-
ing and dealing in carpetings and furnishings, and to carry
on other mercantile business. The capital stock of the
company is $25,000, with $300 paid in. The par value of
the shares is $100. W. T. Kilborn is the president, P. C.
Kilborn the treasurer, and N. A. Johnson the clerk of
the corporation.
Warner F. Colby, carpet and furniture dealer, Barre,
Vt., made an assignment on January 7, in favor of his
creditors to Dr. J. Henry Jackson. The liabilities will
figure between $20,000 and $25,000, while the assets.
stand at about $12,000. The assets consist of the
stock in the furniture store, the stock in the Art
Paper Company and money owed the firm. Mr. Colby is
dangerously ill with typhoid fever. He has been hard
pressed by creditors for some time. Dull times and
difiicult collections had much to do with the failure. The
paper department in which Mr. Colby was interested also
helped along the crash, inasmuch as he went surety for
the payment of the old bills. The former manager of the
wall paper department was J. R. Cole. After Mr. Colby
took possession he had a good trade, but the bills were too
burdensome to overcome. It is said that an offer of adjust-
ment of about 40 or 50 cents on a dollar will be made.
THE SINGER CARPET SEWING MACHINE.
As a device for sewing carpets rapidly and accurately
the Singer automatic power carpet sewer is absolute
perfection. It sews every kind of carpet, making a per-
fect stitch and seam. It is simple in design, easily ope-
rated. It is truly automatic, requires but little floor space
and does its work with remarkable rapidity. The auto-
matic matching and clamping device is a unique arrange-
ment which insures perfect stretching and matching without
the assistance of expert labor. The machine works auto-
matically on its track, following the operator as each
section of the carpet is matched and clamped. This ma-
chine will save its cost in one year to any carpet dealer
whose business requires a hand machine. The Singer
Company continue to manufacture also their well-known
hand machine for carpet sewing and guarantee it to be
the best in use.
Write to the Singer Manufacturing Company for cir-
culars, testimonials, &c., relating to their power and hand
machines. Their advertisement is on page 71 of this issue.
HARTFORD CARPET COMPANY'S NEW PRESIDENT.
AT a meeting of the Hartford Carpet Company, on the
26th ult., George Roberts was elected as its presi-
dent, succeeding John L. Houston, who retires on account
of ill health. Jonathan B. Bunce succeeds Mr. Roberts
as vice-president, but the latter retains the position of
treasurer. The full list of directors and oificers chosen is
as follows : President and treasurer, George Roberts ; vice-
president. Jonathan B. Bunce; secretary, George B.New-
ton; directors, Jonathan B. Bunce, John L; Houston,
■James J. Goodwin, George Roberts, Chas. M. Beach,
James B. Cone and Morgan G. Bulkeley.
Mr. Roberts, the new president, has been identified
with the company for nearly thirty-four years. He was
its secretary for fifteen years, until two years ago, when he
was elected vice-president and treasurer. Mr. Roberts is
well known in the trade and is regarded as exceptionally
well qualified for the very important offices he now holds.
John Bromley & Sons' splendid lines of vSmyrna carpets,
rugs and mats have found quick and liberal appreciation
in the trade . Buyers are advised to see the samples on

of grades is very extensive, and includes a great variety
of new and choice patterns.

ATTRACTIVE PRICES.
IN his advertisement on page 95 F. G. Rogers, of Phila-
delphia, quotes some very attractive figures on carpet-
ings, considering present values. He refers to the fact
that he is selling floor coverings at last year's prices, the
meaning of which must be obvious to all buyers. Mr.
Rogers secured some of the best patterns in 3-4 goods at
the special sales of last fall, and as he has not heretofore
hurried the sale of the stock he still has on hand some of
the choicest goods. Mr. Rogers now occupies three floors
at 1015 Filbert street, Philadelphia, covering 13,000
square feet of space, and every buyer who can possibly do
so should visit his establishment. His samples are also
shown by C. I. Hooper at 611 Washington street, Boston;
at 656 West Sixth street Cincinnati; by J. W. Waddell,
Greenville, S. C, and J. R. Trego at the Niel House,
Columbus, Ohio.
REMOVAL OF HIRST & ROGER.
HIRST & Roger, the Tapestry and Velvet manufacturers,
are now well settled in their new mill at Allegheny
and Kensington avenues, Philadelphia. Their entire
machinery plant is now concentrated in this mill, which
was purchased by them some months ago, and has been
fitted up with improved machinery and other facilities for
producing Tapestries and Velvets. The firm's customers
will find better service from now on in shipments, as
the new mill affords Hirst & Roger opportunity for quicker
and larger production.
FOREIGN NOTES.

during the same month in 1896.
British Board of Trade returns show that the exports of
carpets from Great Britain during the month of December,
1897, amounted to 633,800 yards, valued at ^63,538. The
exports for the twelve months ending December 31 were

AROUND AND ABOUT.
Come of the reflections engendered by a study of a great
^ city like New York during the press of holiday time
have been, among others, to wonder if the very means
taken to attract customers did not repel the actual buyers.
A woman with a long shopping list has resolutely turned
from those stores in which great
holiday displays were made, in
the way of trimmings, enter-
tainments for the children and
window shows. Such induce-
ments filled the place with the
usual crowd always ready to
follow a free show, with the re-
sult that purchasers were un-
able to get through the aisles
and up to the counters. More
than one woman confessed her
dread of some accident in these
terribly congested stores — accident that the inflammable
nature of the trimmings helped to invite. In one store
a blaze did arise from the crossing of electric wires — our
modern fire risk — and in the slight panic which followed
two or three persons were injured. The panic was slight
because an electrician happened to be close at hand, and
promptly put out the fire. Had there been any sort of
delay the disaster would have been great — from the fright
of shoppers and saleswomen, rather than from the actual
conflagration. The fact is that shopkeepers and city
authorities are realizing that every means should be taken
to distribute crowds, rather than to mass them at busy
times of the year.
I STOOD the other day in an uptown retail establishment
while the proprietor was playing an overture on the
telephone. Of course I could not hear what the man at
the other end of the wire was saying, but here is what I
caught.
" What did you say was the price of those goods? "
Pause.
" I can do better."
B-r-r-r-r.
" What is the dating? "
Z-z-z-z-z.
"I haven't got the other fellow's price, but I've got his
dating."
D-d-d-d-d-n.
"All right, send 'em up."
"Well, what was the other fellow's price," I asked.
" Don't know. All I know is I save 2j4 cents a yard and
thirty days' interest. It's lucky a man can't see your face
when you're lying over the telephone."
XAoTHS always find some special attraction in particularly
valuable articles, and they show a decided prefer-
ence for costly Eastern rugs, as the owners of such articles
of luxury but too frequently learn to their dismay. For-
merly it was diiBcult, if not impossible, to get these rugs
properly repaired, but lately firms of Armenians have es-
tablished themselves in the shopping districts of most
of the large cities and make a specialty of mending rugs,
curtains and similar Oriental goods in the Oriental fash-
ion. Eastern rugs are so much more used than they were
formerly and are so liable to moth ravages that this inno-
vation is most advantageous.
\ NEW show window in the establishment of Millar &
Beatty, Grafton street, Dublin, Ireland, attracts great
attention, and is the only one of the kind in existence. The
firm has taken out a patent for the window, which is de-
scribed as " a double reflecting mirror, applicable to shop
windows." Inside the large plate glass window is a well-
hole 6 by 4 feet and 8 feet deep, leading to the basement
showroom beneath. The wall of this well-hole on the side

beneath the window is lined with mirrors, and on the
opposite wall is an adjustable mirror, which reflects the
mirror on the other side, and these in turn reflect all the
furniture and other goods in the wareroom beneath. We
reproduce herewith from the London Warehouseman and
Draper two cuts showing the arrangement of the device.
The adjustable mirror is controlled by a thumbscrew, and
the adjustment requires great care to insure the setting of

\ssEMBLYMAN F. R. Peterson is pushing in the New
York State Assembly a bill compelling all railroads
in the State to issue mileage books at 2 cents a mile, and
for 500 as well as 1,000 miles. The coupons from these
books are to be good for use by bearer and on trains when
presented to the conductors. This is a privilege for which
commercial travelers have long contended, as most of the
roads in the State at present allow books to be used only
by the members of one family or firm, and require that
they be presented before train time at the ticket office,
where coupons are removed and a ticket given in exchange.
NO DISCRIMINATION IN DUTIES.
THE CUSTOMS CLASSIFICATION BOARD DECIDES THAT NO ADDITIONAL DUTIES
CAN BE LEVIED ON GOODS IMPORTED ON FOREIGN VESSELS OR RAILV^AYS.
ECTiON 32 of the Dingley
Tariff law reads as fol-
lows :
A discriminating duty of
10 per centum ad valorem,
in addition to the duties im-
posed by law, shall be levied,
collected and paid on all
goods, wares or merchandise
which shall be imported in
vessels not of the United
States, or which being the
production or manufacture
of any foreign country not
contiguous to the United
States, shall come into the
United States from such
contiguous country ; but
this discriminating duty shall not apply to goods, wares or merchan-
dise which shall be imported in vessels not of the United States, en-
titled at the time of such importation by treaty or convention to be
entered in the ports of the United States on payment of the same
duties as shall then be payable on goods, wares and merchandise
imported in vessels of the United States, nor to such foreign prod-
ucts or manufactures as shall be imported from such contiguous
countries in the usual course of strictly retail trade.
Under their interpretation of this section several collec-
tors of customs assessed additional duties on certain im-
portations of goods, and through the protests of the im-
porters the matter came before the Customs Board of
Classification, which in rendering its decision on the 27th
ult. reviews the history and intent of kindred legislation
for many years past, and shows by the statements of the
chairmen of the respective Congressional committees hav-
ing the tariff bill in charge that Congress intended to
make no substantial change from its past policy regarding
foreign shipping. The changes actually made were de-
signed, the board thinks, to prevent evasions of the law
by vessels of nations which might at any time refuse to
admit our vessels to their ports on the same terms as
their own. Under the old law evasion was easy. Ger-
many, for example, might have laid a discriminating duty
on goods imported in American vessels, but by shipping
her own product in German vessels to some Canadian
port, and thence by rail across our border, she could con-
tinue to enjoy all the privileges of exemption now ac-
corded her, because the German ships would not need to
enter our ports. Against such a practice as this Section
22 is meant to guard, in the judgment of the board
The board admits the difficulty of construing the sec-
tion, but holds that by a well-known rule the benefit of
any doubt in the construction of a taxing statute should
be given'to the one taxed rather than to the Government
laying the tax.
The board held that the duties should not be levied, and
sustained the protests and reversed the collector's decision
in each case with instructions to reliquidate the entries.
It has been learned that the Secretary of the Treasury
will not appeal from the board's decision, which sustains
the opinion of the Attorney General, in which he held
that the discriminating duty of 10 per cent, does not at-
tach to goods of foreign manufacture or production,
brought into the United States in transit through a con-
tiguous foreign countiy. This decision apparently settles
the questions involved, as the Department will not take an
appeal.
ORIENTAL RUGS ON CONSIGNMENT.
IN an announcement in our advertising pages A. A. Van-
tine & Co. offer to consign lots of Oriental rugs and
carpets valued at $500, $1,000, $1,500 and $2,000 or over
for forty days, the dealer not to return more than one-half
of the goods.
This is a great opportunity for dealers throughout the
country to hold special sales on Oriental rugs, and we

curtain mill at Niagara Falls is incorrect. Hunter &
Whitcomb, the sole American agents for Morton & Co.,
inform us that they have no advice of the above named
character, and would be informed if it were so. It is true
that Mr. Alexander Morton looked over the ground in this
country last fall with a view of possibly establishing a
plant, but our latest advice is that the firm were yet un-
decided regarding the matter.
Zhc jfortnigbt.
T~HERE has been little change in the condition of affairs
during the past two weeks in the drapery and uphol-
stery market. A fair but not extraordinary volume of
business has been done. The domestic lace curtain man-
ufacturers are all well employed, and some are beginning
to find it difficult to fill the orders now coming due. An
increasing business is being done in tapestry curtains.
Ciiriously enough, this increase comes from the people
who formerly bought chenilles in all-over design patterns.
These persons have been taught by certain retailers that
the latter goods were not suited to their high-class pur-
poses. As a result the sale of all-over patterns in
chenilles has fallen off, while the dado and frieze goods
hold their own. The chenille manufacturer, and he is in
most cases a maker of tapestries, is therefore simply
making up the loss on one class of his product by the in-
creased sale of another.
r^RESiDENT Baldwin, of the Long Island Railroad Com-
pany, states that his company will build a branch track
beside the head of the Patchogue River, as requested by
the lace company, provided the people of Patchogue will
secure the necessary rights of way and pay for the grading
of the route. The cost of the proposed side track is esti-
mated at $2,300, which includes the $300 for the grading
of the route. It is expected that the people of Patchogue
will raise the necessary amount for the grading. Every
property owner along the route with the exception of two
or three has signed consent for the laying of the track on
his lands.
All this illustrates the method by which modern manu-
facturing processes are necessarily developed in these days
of keen competition. The Patchogne mill cannot cer-
tainly be more than a third of a mile from the Long
Island freight depot. But when it is considered that 1,500
tons of coal a month have to be handled twice, that the
boxes in which they ship their goods are sent K. D. from
Maine, and that they will need perhaps next year a
million pounds of yarn, the saving of expense results in a
large lessening of the cost of production or — in prosperous
years — a larger dividend to the stockholders.
If the fortnight has produced no particular change in the
condition of the market it has .shown an idea which is
both novel and valuable. The Hensel vSilk Manufacturing
Company have a new invention in the shape of a twisted
rope (such as is used in rope portieres) cording for pillows
and other similar uses. It is woven flat over a warp cord
by a Jacquard machine and then cut and twisted. We
understand a patent has been applied for. It will readily
be seen that the invention offers a large variety of shad-
ings at a much reduced cost over the old process.
T~HE latest advices from Nottingham state that no new
feature has presented itself in the lace curtain trade,
and the demand is insufficient to keep all the machinery
fully employed. The plain net trade is still in a healthy
condition. Good orders are on hand and prices are firm.
Mosquito nets are in steady request.
"Thirty-one manufacturers of mattresses, representing
factories in the district between Pittsburg and St.
Louis north of the Ohio River, met at Indianapolis on the
26th ult., and organized the " Central Mattress Manufac-
turers' Association." the object of which will be to regulate
prices on all lines of mattress goods and reduce harsh com-
petition between factory men. Officers were elected as
follows: President, C. A. Fisher, Petersburg, 111.; vice-
president, Frank Schaultz, Hamilton, Ohio; secretary and
treasurer, C. C. Nickols, Cincinnati, Ohio. The next
annual meeting of the association will be held in Cincin-
nati.
PvECisiON ON Embroidered Screens. — In the case of A.

ton, paper and wood, and was classified tor dut}- under
paragraph 373 of the act of October 1, 1890, as "em-
broidered articles" at 60 per cent, ad valorem. The
importer protested, claiming that the articles should have
been assessed for duty under paragraph 230 at 35 per cent,
ad valorem as furniture, or under paragraph 355 at 40 per
cent, ad valorem as manufactures of cotton, or under para-
graph 414 of the said act at 50 per cent, ad valorem as
manufactures of which silk is the component material of
chief value. The local appraiser reported that the cotton
embroidery was the chief element of value, and duty was
accordingly assessed under paragraph 373. Upon subse-
quent examination by the special appraiser appointed for
the purpose, it was ascertained, however, that paper was,
in fact, the component material of chief value.
As the importer failed to claim in his protest that paper
was the component material of chief value, the court
affirmed the decision of the Board of General Appraisers
which had sustained the collector's classifications.
In the case of Bloomingdale Brothers against the ruling
of the Board of General Appraisers, Customs Appeals
No. 2408, Judge Wheeler, of the United States Circuit
Court, decided as follows:
The appraisers in their decision said; " We find that the goods in
question consist of cords, fringes, tassels, braids, &c., composed in
chief value of metal thread, or bullion. That said goods are articles
composed in chief value of metal, and that the same are not known
commercially as metal threads nor as bullions "
Nevertheless it was assessed as a manufacture of glass, or of
which glass was the component material of chief value, under para-
graph 108 of the tariff act of 1890, against a protest that they should
be assessed as manufactures composed wholly or in part of metal,
under paragraph 215. This finding is said to be a reason only, and
that the classification was in fact right; but it is more than a reason.
The board is authorized to find facts, and this must be treated as a
finding of fact; and according to ihis finding the protest should
have been sustained.
Decision reversed.

McCarthy & Miles have opened an upholstery estab-
lishment at 228 East Fifth street, Chester, Pa.
In their new advertisement on the colored sheet oppo-
site page 9 of this issue, W. T. Smith & Son call attention
to their very attractive and extensive offerings in chenille,
tapestry and lace curtains, and chenille and tapestry
covers. Every buyer should see these goods.
The merging of the Hees, Macfarlane & Co. business; of
Detroit, with the Columbia Shade Cloth Company forms
another strong link to the latter company's producing and
distributing organization. With factories in Mei-iden,
Conn. ; Minetto, N. Y. ; Philadelphia, Pa. ; Detroit, Mich.,
and West Pullman, 111., it can be seen that they enjoy the
best facilities for manufacturing and promptly shipping
window shades to all parts of the country. They carry
everything in the window shade line and obviously are in
a position to quote lowest prices.

INSURANCE RATES FOR LARGE RETAIL STORES.
OME of our leading retail dealers in
dry goods are endeavoring to
secure a reduction in the rates
of fire insurance upon their
property. They claim that a
first-class dry goods store is in
insurance parlance " an excel-
lent risk," because such estab-
1 i s h m e n t s are carefully
watched and have every known
appliance for preventing or
extinguishing fires, to say noth-
ing of the fact that a fire which
obliged a firm to remove from
its old stand would inflict im-
mense injury to its business, and perhaps result in its total
destruction. Notwithstanding these obvious facts the in-
surance companies have granted a reduction of 30)6 per
cent, in the rates in the wholesale dry goods district and
have refused to make any concession to the large retail
dealers.
The matter has been taken up by the Retail Dry Goods
Association, which consists of about twenty of the leading
dry goods houses in the boroughs of Manhattan and Brook-
lyn. It was formed about three years ago, its stated object
being to "foster trade and commerce, to protect it from
unjust or unlawful exactions, to reform abuses in the trade
* * * and form a more enlarged and friendly inter-
course between merchants engaged in the retail dry goods
and kindred trades. " The annual election of the associa-
tion was held last week, at which the following officers
were chosen :
President, E. P. Hatch; vice-president, James Mat-
thews; secretary, E. W. Bloomingdale ; treasurer, J. C.
McCreery. Board of directors: Isaac Stern, J. C. McCreery,
W. G. Thomas, Samuel Adams, Isador Straus, E. P.
Hatch, E. W. Bloomingdale, H. C. F. Koch and J. Mat-
thews. The following firms are members of the associa-
tion:
B. Altman & Co.
Stern Brothers.
Ehrich Brothers.
J. McCreery & Co.
Adams & Co.

The Swiss lace curtains shown by J. A. Brittain & Co.
this season comprise without question as strong an assort-
ment of this class of goods as is to be found in the market.
These goods are produced by Sturzenegger & Tanner of
St. Gall, for whom Brittain & Co. are sole American
agents. Besides being strong in novelties, the prices are
the lowest that can be quoted on goods of such quality
and make. Brittain & Co. carry a stock in New York of
everything shown, and late buyers can get their spring
wants promptly filled.
■■■ OBITUARY NOTES. HIH
Alex. E. Hahn, who had carried on an upholstering and
undertaking business at Mount Gilead, Ohio, for many
years, died there on January 2 in his sixty-ninth year.
Peter W. Shepherd, who had carried on the upholstering
business for the past year or more, at Reading, Pa., died
there on January 14, of a complication of diseases, aged
forty-three years.
The mercantile agencies announce the deaths of C. E.
Kampmann, of Kampmann & Meyer, manufacturers of
upholstery trimmings, New York, and Laurien Ward, of
L. & W. Ward, manufacturers of curtain fixtures, Nauga-
tuck. Conn.
Seaton Perry, for many years one of the leading dry
goods merchants of Washington, D. C, committed sui-
cide by shooting on January 14. He had for some months
been suffering from melancholia and was under medical
care at the time. He was forty-seven years of age and
leaves a widow. His business affairs were in a prosperous
condition. The concern which Mr. Perry conducted was
started by his father in 1840, and was probably the only
one of the old business houses on Pennsylvania avenue
which had kept pace with the progress of the city and had
successfully coped with the competition of department
stores.
B. L SOLOMON'S SONS' NEW ESTABLISHMENT.
THE removal of B. L. Solomon's Sons to their new
salesrooms at Fifth avenue and Seventeenth street
has been consummated, and they are now prepared to
meet the trade in spacious and elegant showrooms and
offices. The new location is on the northeast corner of
Fifth avenue and Seventeenth street, the building being
just completed. ' It is of the latest modern structure and
appointments and very handsome in appearance, as can be
seen by the illustration on page 77. Solomon's Sons
occupy the entire first and second lofts. Their oiiices are
at the Fifth avenue front of the first loft, while the re-
maining space is devoted to the display of the finest goods
and to shipping room. The second loft is a model of
arrangement for this business, being divided into four
separate showrooms by poles, each having ample space.
The shelving and compartments for stock are all new and
in keeping with the high character of the showrooms. In
the second loft will be shown the general line of upholstery
goods, curtains and couch covers, which comprises the
latest novelties in both American and foreign products.
The trade should bear in mind that B. L. Solomon's Sons
will cater to their needs with a widely assorted stock of
upholstery coverings, draperies, curtains and couch covers
in the best and latest novelties.
The account of J. B. Fontanille, Le Puy, France, manu-
facturer of laces, has been placed in the hands of J. A.
Brittain & Co. , the lace curtain wholesalers, of 438 Broad-
way, New York. The latter have received a finely assorted
stock of laces from this concern suitable for making up
curtains, and invite the attention of manufacturers of
ruffled, lace edge and insertion curtains to these most
attractive goods, which are offered at lowest prices.

TRADE CHAT.
Any manufacturer of upholstery goods who wishes a
thoroughly competent selling agent should read the adver-
tisement in our " Special Notices," in which a gentleman
who already has a wide and valuable connection, an-
nounces his willingness to take on a minor account in
connection with his regular business. It is perhaps need-
less to say that all communications will be treated as
absolutely confidential.
McManus Brothers, carpet and furniture dealers at
Newark and Elizabeth, N. J., went to the recent exposi-
tion of furniture at Grand Rapids, Mich., and bought
largely there. They say that the exhibits were very
extensive, varied and attractive and that the manufacturers
seemed to be well satisfied with results, the attendance of
buyers and the volume of sales being very large. The
display of mahogany furniture was especially notable,
indicating an increasing demand for this wood.
Articles of incorporation of the Stilwell Automatic
Shade Roller Company, with capital of $500,000, were
filed at Kansas City, Mo , on January 5. The company
controls the Sturgis patents on shade rollers and shade
adjusters. Already
a subsidiary com-
pany to manufac-
ture the rollers and
adjusters has been
organized in Kansas
City, with a capital
of $150,000. Simi-
lar companies will
be organized in Chi-
cago, Philadelphia,
Boston and Mon-
treal.

expects to have all his machinery removed to the new
location by April 1. He is now placing in position six
new looms in the new mill. This firm employs seventy-five
hands. The assistant manager is Charles H. Pike.

Apparently the American Shade Company will not
recover from its financial distress. The assets of the
concern are now in possession of Mrs. Ann
F. Stobie and the National Wall Paper
Company, who are represented by Lawyer
Lee W. Grant, of the Laclede Building, corner of Olive
and Fourth streets. Mrs. Stobie is the mother-in-law of
W. H. Mare, Jr., the president of the American Shade
Company. She indorsed a note for $3,000, made
by the embarrassed company on November 15, 1897,
and payable February 16, 1898, to the Merchants'
Laclede National Bank, of this city. On the ith inst.
the Shade Company executed a chattel mortgage in
favor of Mrs. Stobie, covering certain personal property
belonging to them, and under that instrument she has
taken charge thereof, for her protection. A debt of $404
is due the National Wall Paper Company for merchandise
furnished, and by an arrangement among the principal
creditors and the bankrupt corporation certain of the assets
have been turned over to the wall paper company in part
satisfaction of their claim. The factory of the American
Shade Company, at 2014 Locust street, has shut down
entirely. Negotiations are pending which may result in
the Columbia Shade Cloth Company taking hold of the
plant, but as yet nothing definite has been agreed upon. In
the event the deal does not go through the assets will be
sold in some other way.
It is announced that D. Crawford & Co. will shortly re-
move from their present location to the spacious and ele-
gant buildings, Nos. 511 to 53.3 Washington avenue, where
they will establish a mammoth department store. It is
said that fully $100,000 will be spent in fitting up the place.
There will be 130,500 square feet of floor space, and the
establishment will be provided with six passenger and two
freight elev'ators, besides electric light and steam heating
apparatus of its own, and all the adjuncts of a first-class
modern business building. D. Crawford & Co. have been
in their present quarters, corner of Broadway and Frank-
lin avenue, for thirty-one years.
The Hargadine-McKittrick Dry Goods Company have
decided to build a large warehouse on the south side of
Washington avenue, and plans for the structure are now
being drawn.
The Ely & Walker Dry Goods Company are now re-
established at the corner of Eighth street and Washington
avenue. The firm's premises were burned out at this
corner about a year ago.
The Grand Leader has added a line of wall papers to
its stock. B. W. B.

PATENTS.
STERN BROTHERS' WHOLESALE DEPARTMENT.
THE extensive wholesalers and retailers, Stei'n Brothers,
of West Twenty-third street. New York, are showing
in their wholesale upholstery department for the spring
trade a superb assortment of novelties for coverings,
hangings and draperies, and also curtains, curtain materials,
couch covers, &c. The feature of these offerings is their
exclusiveness, as the goods have been imported primarily
for Stern Brothers' great retail department, and are not to
be found elsewhere. A few years ago Stern Brothers de-
cided to import upholstery goods beyond their own actual
needs and distribute, their novelties to other leading
retailers throughout the coimtry. This departure has
proved very successful, and every season the firm now
send out travelers with their lines. Buyers visiting New
York are cordially invited to call at Stern Brothers' de-
partment, where James Munro, the department manager,
will be pleased to show them the complete assortment.
Correspondence regarding samples is also invited.
POINT DE PARIS RUFFLED CURTAINS.
COHEN Brothers & Co. are showing a line of these goods,
which have met with great success this season, and
are taken up by all live retailers, as they can be sold at
popular prices. They are durable and graceful, and have
the effect of very expensive goods.
Their line of ruffled bobbinet muslin and fish net cur-
tains is the most extensive ever shown, and it will repay
all buyers to visit their store, 434 and 436 Broadway, New
York, and see novelties in curtains controlled exclusively
bv them.
BIRKIN'S NEW AMERICAN FACTORY.
^rHE first machine will be set up in T. I. Birkin & Co.'s
I new factory at Chester, Pa., this week, and the
placing of the entire machinery plant will rapidly follow.
The firm expect to be out of their Philadelphia factory in
the course of a couple of months. As heretofore stated,
the additional facilities gained by this new plant will
double Birkin & Co.'s American production, so that for
the coming fall trade they will be able to give their cus-
tomers much better service in every way than ever before.
J. A. Brittain & Co., 438 Broadway, New York, are
agents for Birkin & Co.'s American and foreign products
of lace curtains and nets.

WHERE TO BUY HOLLANDS.
THE largest stock of Scotch window hollands in this
country is to be found in the big establishment of
the Jay C. Wemple Company, on Broadway, New York,
and a good stock is also carried at their Chicago store.
This company'have been for years leading importers of
Scotch Hollands, and can supply all the general colors and
widths at once, and also some special colors and widths
confined to them. They also have big stocks of American
hollands, and in the respect of giving the buyer what he
wants there is no window shade house in the country that
surpasses them and few can equal them.
E. L. Ritter & Co., successors to Homer Le Boutellier
& Co., who were for a time on Chestnut street, west of
Broad, Philadelphia, have secured store No. 1036 on that
street, and will shortly open with larger and better facili-
ties than they had before. This means another big uphol-
stery department on Chestnut street, under the manage-
ment of experienced upholstery men.
The brass trimmings for iron bedsteads made by the
American Pin Company, of Waterbury, Conn., have be-
come very popular on account of their superior workman-
ship and novel patterns. The company perhaps does the
largest business in the brass trimming line in the country
and all manufacturers should certainly inspect the different
styles on -exhibition at the New York salesrooms, 441
Broadway.

on two sides and a most attractive frontage on Canal street,
as the building is but 200 feet east of 'Broadway. The
consolidation of the stocks of the Henry Reubel Company
and John Kroder makes an assortment of upholstery and
carpet hardware and curtain poles of specially large pro-
portions, and provides the new concern with increased
attractions to the trade. The factory of the company is at

Manager Smith, of the wholesale upholstery depart-
ment of W. & J. Sloane, says that business to this date
has been excellent. The Oldham Mills output is sold up
for two months ahead, and the demand for imported as
well as domestic goods is very large. The Oldham Mills
are producing goods which will compare favorably with
the product of any foreign mill, as may be readily seen
by a glance at the line which Mr. Smith has on view.
J-
The rumor that W. & J. Sloane intend to use the new
nine story addition to their Broadway store for the furni-
ture business is not correct, but it is true that they will
show in the spring retail season an assortment of high
grade hand-made furniture, intended simply as a tender
to their upholstery department. They will deal only in
upholstered goods, and will show no machine-made furni-
ture whatever. Their new building on Nineteenth street
will not be completed before September next.

ORIENTAL RECEPTION ROOM.
IN the Oriental reception room shown on the opposite
page the most striking feature is the corner formed by
the large bay window on one side and the fireplace on
another, both framed in with Moorish arches. The dec-
oration, in embossed plaster, of these arches is copied
from that of the Alhambra. The raised parts of the orna-
ment are in dull gold, coming out on a sunken ground of
bright red or blue, toned simply by being thrown into
shadow by the parts in relief. The color scheme of red,
blue and dull gold thus set rules throughout. The win-
dow is of Egyptian lattice work, but that may be replaced
by lights formed of opalescent rondels, leaded in a similar
pattern. The hanging lamps are of repouss6 brass, with
ruby glass inserted ; the cushions, covered mostly with
silk and jute rugs, are of dull reds, blues and yellows, and
the same colors predominate in the floor coverings.
The short pillars and their bases are turned, and the
ornament on them carved separately and applied. The
ornamental plaster work will be furnished to design by
any large firm of architectural plasterers, or similar pat-
terns may be had in lincrusta-walton. The plain surfaces
of the wall may be painted a dark Turkey red, and the
ceiling a robin's-egg blue.

plush, corduroy or any kind of upholstery printing.

MAKING ARTIFICIAL SILK.
IN a mill established at Wolston, England, for the manu-
facture of artificial silk, the raw material from which it
is made is ordinary cotton waste. A correspondent of the
London Warehouseman and Draper in describing the
process of manufacture says:
The cotton waste is received into a room, the tempera-
ture of which is 100°, to undergo the preparatory process.
It is then forwarded into another room, where it is put in
small quantities into earthenware pots with a mixture of
sulphuric and nitric acids. The noxious fumes arising
from this operation are extracted by means of powerful
fans into underground
flues and discharged into
the open air, so that no
injury is sustained by
the operatives. The
cotton having been
thoroughly saturated
with the acids the siir-
plus liquid is squeezed
out by hydraulic press-
es. The material is
then put into galvanized
baskets and carried on
an aerial tramway — to
obviate the necessity of
its being handled — and
tipped into washing
tubs, where it is sub-
jected to a continuous
stream of pure water.
Further washing follows
until the chemist in
charge is satisfied that
sufficient acid has been
removed to render the
material fit for subse-
quent processes. The
stuff is then nearly dried
in a hydro-extractor,
and carried on a minia-
ture tramway to another
room, where it is placed
in long, hollow cylin-
ders, into which ether
and alcohol are poured.
It is then subjected to a
rotary motion, the re-
sult of which is that the
cotton is entirely dissolved. The product — a kind of
pulpy substance — is known as "collodion." The rotary
mixers in which this latter process has been performed,
and which are mounted upon wheels, are taken into the
collodion preparation room. The mixers are rotated for a
period varying from twelve to twenty-four hours, and the
pulp is afterward passed into hydraulic compressors,
which force it through a series of filters until it becomes a
perfectly pure liquid. The collodion is next received into
large wrought iron reservoirs, in which it is stored pre-
paratory to being spun into filaments. The spinning proc-
WINDOW DECORATION IN THE RENAISSANCE STYLE.
ess which follows is perhaps the most interesting of all,
requiring the most delicate and exact manipulation.
From the reservoirs just referred to the liquid is forced by
hydraulic pressure into tubes of about 3 inches in diameter.
These tubes are furnished with a series of taps, to the end
of each of which is fixed a glass tube having an exceedingly
minute orifice. Through this series of minute orifices the
liquid is forced in the form of spray, which immediately on
coming into contact with the air loses its liquid character,
and after rising about an inch from the end of the glass
tube through which it is squirted, it becomes a solid viscid
substance in the form of a filament, so slender as to be
finer even than the thread of a real silkworm. These col-
lodion filaments as they
rise are wound upon
bobbins in the ordinary
way — in some instances
a s many as twelve
"ends" being wound
simultaneously upon one
b o b b i n — according to
the thickness of thread
required. The collodion
after leaving the filters
is so pure that scarcely
the least irregularity
can be detected, and
filaments are known
sometimes to run for a
whole day without
breaking. The thread
in imitation of silk hav-
ing been thus produced,
the next process is to
twist the filaments,
which at first are merely
laid together on the bob-
bins. The artificial silk
is then made up into
skeins and washed, to
remove from it all traces
of acid, which, if allowed
to remain, would event-
ually destroy its tex-
ture. It is dried at a
temperature of 100°, and
again washed in spe-
cially prepared baths.
After being finally dried
it is perfectly hard,
strong and durable, and
can be dyed and treated as ordinary silk ready to be woven
into fabrics. It is found that artificial silk will take dye
more readily and with happier results than does real silk,
and it possesses a fine gloss, which is its chief characteristic.
It is estimated that when the works are completed and in
full swing they will be capable of producing 6,000 pounds
of artificial silk per week.
The Chicago Decorative Leather Company, 257 Frank-
lin street, Chicago, has certified to an increase in its capi-
tal stock from $6,000 to $30,000.

WALL PAPER NOTES.
..Leiter & Webster Brothers, Toledo, Ohio, have dis-
solved partnership.
. .The Westerly (R. I.) Furniture Company has opened
a wall paper department.
. . Bradshaw & Thomas, dealers in wall paper, picture
frames, &c., Fairfield, la., are succeeded by J. D.
McDowell & Co.
. .Between 80 and 100 feet of the roof and sheeting of
the west wing of the York (Pa.) Wall Paper Company's
plant were torn off during a severe wind storm on
Junuary 23.
.."Don't you love these long, peaceful winter even-
ings?"
" Peaceful? My wife begins right after the holidays to
talk about what rooms to have papered in the spring."
—Ex.
. .Schickler & Miller, dealers in wall paper, &c., Aurora,
111., have dissolved partnership, and the business is con-
tinued by F. W. Schickler. Mr. Miller retires to follow
the music profession, being a member of several
orchestras.
..P. H. Fitzgerald, dealer in wall paper, paints, &c.,
323 Franklyn street, Los Angeles, Cal., lighted a match
in the paint storeroom on January 1 presumably to cele-
brate the birth of the new year. He escaped injury, but
the stock was damaged to the extent of $1,100.
. .The L. B. Fairbanks stock of books and wall paper,
at Springfield, Mo., was attached on January 7 by A. C,
McClure, of Chicago, for $1,500, and J. W. Fairbanks for
$1,200. These were followed by the filing of a chattel
mortgage to secure the Central National and Exchange
banks of Springfield on notes for $2,000. The assets are
$10,000; liabilities, $8,000.
..Harry Wearne, a member of the firm of J. Zuber «&
Co., said to be the oldest wall paper firm in the world, was
in Chicago recently. Their factory is at Rixheim, Alsace,
Germany, and last summer the one hundredth anniversary
of the occupation of one factory was celebrated. The
factory building was formerly occupied by a commandery
of the Teutonic Order of the Knights of Jerusalem, and
was confiscated during the French Revolution. It was
purchased in 1797 by the Zuber Company. During the
reign of Napoleon I. the firm took a silver medal at the
Paris Exposition.
. . A correspondent of the Consular Journal and Greater
Britain writes from Canton regarding export business in
wall papers to China: "In wall and other papers, more
business might be done than in almost any other. The
Chinese do not paper their walls much, though they are
doing so more than formerly, but they are delighted to
get hold of bright, crisp and cheap wall papers for decora-
tive purposes, among which may be named the making of
flowers, the clothing of dolls, the covering of boxes,
partitions, and lastly, ceilings. Yerj- gaudy papers to sell
at about 2d. apiece should command a tremendous market,
as also should the colored ' tissues ' — used for covering
flower pots, &c. — which are not known in China."

apprenticed to Walter Crook to learn the upholstery and
paper hanging business. In 1843, with John G. Wilmot,
he formed a partnership, which was dissolved a year later,
when he continued business alone until 1848, when he en-
tered into a partnership with his brother, William Hol-
land. In 1854 he retired from business on account of
impaired health. Five children survive him.

The advantage to be derived by the progressive buyer
in handling the upholstery fabrics made by the Philadel-
phia Tapestry Mills for the coming season should receive
careful consideration. Their up-to-date fabrics, with the
small prices attached, should satisfy the most critical.

SHADE ROLLER
Facts About Hartshorn Shade Rollers.
The product of our factories includes Sliade Rollers of every
description, made of wood and tin, suitable for all classes of
work, and many famous Hartshorn accessories.
The cost of these Rollers is slightly higher than any others on
the market.
The quality of these Rollers is so high as to be far beyond
the reach of real competition.
The reputation of these Rollers is of such strength as to insure
success to any merchant in the window shade line who sells
them exclusively.
The demand for them is universal, and so heavy as to keep
our great factories running constantly.
These are some of the reasons that our Rollers are found to=day in whatever part of the
world a window shade is hung.

A JUDICIOUS INVESTMENT.
The Best Economy in your Carpet Room
can only be secured by using the most perfect appliances, of the simplest
design and the best construction.
Experience Has Proven the Fact
that the SINGER AUTOMATIC POWER CARPET SEWER will save its
cost in one year to any carpet dealer having enough business to require a hand
machine. THE SINGER AUTOHATIC is now in use by dealers who saved
its cost during the first six months of its operation.
A TRIUMPH OF MECHANICAL, EFFICIENCY, SURPASSING ALL OTHER DEVICES FOR ITS PURPOSE.
Truly automatic, requires less labor and sews 40 per cent.
more carpet than any other machine on the market.
Requires least floor space, and uses any form of power.
Makes perfect stitch and seam, sewing any kind of carpet.
Automatic Matching and
Clamping Device. *•***«**«♦*'
This device is absolutely unique, and secures perfect stretching
and matching, without necessity for expert labor. It is simpler,
swifter and in every way more effective than any other way of
handling a carpet. The sewing machine works automatically on
its track, following the operator from section to section as fast as
each is matched and clamped, the action of the clamping levers
automatically governing the movement of the sewing machine,
thus saving a great deal of time
This is not a Hand Machine Crudely Adapted to Power Operation,
Our Hand Machine is well known, and is still on the market, fully guaranteed to be the best
and most practical in use.

PHILADELPHIA, February 1, 1898.
To Buyers of Upholstery Fabrics:
The word "best" has been so thoroughly misused and abused that many people
look askant at it. It often means nothing or worse than nothing. Our fabrics
are made from the best materials that we can put in, and our designs are made
by a corps of artistic artists.
For the Spring of 1898 we are offering the greatest variety of Upholstery
Fabrics ever yet shown in this market. To alert and progressive buyers from all
points of the compass prosperity's line will appeal successfully.
Fabrics that are correctly designed, intelligently made, and sold at reason-
able prices are those which attract. There's an individuality running through
our line that will command the regard of careful buyers everywhere.
Our new productions prove us to be, as we have been,
LEADERS
in the manufacture of popular priced Upholstery Goods.

MODERN UPHOLSTERIES.
It is evident that buyers are becoming more convinced every season that "it
does not pay to purchase foreign made Upholstery and Drapery Fabrics
when they can buy American made goods of equal quality and superior
styles at considerably less money, That our productions for the
SPRING OF 1898
will substantiate the correctness of this 'assertion
we leave to the judgment of the Trade and invite the most careful
comparison between them and imported fabrics.

The Tile Carpet
Carpets are soft and restful to the feet, non-
slippery, noiseless ; they are also germ col-
lectors, disease breeders, poor wearers. jMosaic
or any hard tile is sufficiently sanitary and
durable, but slippery, noisy, foot tiring, easily
separated, easily cracked. If we could add
to carpet the good qualities of tile — make it
waterproof, disease-proof, wear-proof — we would
have a flooring practically perfect. That's
just what Interlocking Rubber Tile is— A
Perfect Floor. So easy to
to lay. too — goes right down
over any old floor. Manufac-
tured and sold exclusively by
us. Call or write

others, it is because they are worth more.
Have you placed your order yet for our
"Rajah Art Carpets" and "Flemish Tapestries?"

BIQELOW CARPET COMPANY.

WILTON AND BRUSSELS
-» CARPETS, v^
The Carpets made by this Company have received the highest award wherever exhibited,
including Gold Medals at the Paris Exposition, 1878, and at the Centennial, 1876.
Their deserved reputation for excellence of fabric, richness and durabiHty of color, novelty and
beauty of design, has led to frequent infringements, and inferior goods have often been palmed off
in their stead. For the protection of the public the Company has adopted as a trade mark the word
" BIGELOW," which will be woven (at every repeat of the pattern) in white capitals into the back
^ of the fabi-ic. Customers will therefore have merely to examine the back of a carpet to be certain
that they are getting the genuine Bigelow goods.
I[g THESE GOODS CAN BE HAD FR03I ALL, FIRST-CLASS DEALERS. J

°Our readers are urged to remember that we are
always desirous to receive commuuications of interest to
the carpet or upholstery trades, such as changes in firms
or managers, the building or opening of new stores,
improvements in old ones, the adding of new departments,
improved methods of doing business, new inventions, sug-
gestions as to the cutting, making and laying of carpets,
the designing and fitting of draperies, or inquiries and
dissertations relating to the technical or commercial details
of the trades to which this periodical is devoted.
THE TRADE OUTLOOK.
piRST orders have been placed and the mills are now
' busy in turning out goods for delivery before March 1.
The general result of the season will depend of course
largely upon the extent to which goods are cut up in the
spring retail trade.
But there is no doubt as regards the rugand Ai't Square
trade, for the demand for these goods has been excellent
from the opening of the season and the product of the
mills is now sold far ahead.
Tapestry manufacturers have done a large business and
the Ingrain trade is also in much better position than it
was a year ago, with a certainty of further and material
improvement when the goods sold last fall to jobbers at
low prices have been distributed, a process which is now
well advanced.
The general situation may be regarded as distinctly
cheerful, there being little doubt that the unmistakable
improvement in the general business of the country will
be reflected in the retail carpet trade of the coming
spring.
THE REMNANT SUPPLEMENT.
OUR annual Remnant Supplement is published to-day,
■ and a copy of it will be sent free of charge to every
subscriber for The Review, or, in other words, to the entire
trade, for practically every carpet dealer in the country is
on our subscription list.
As the wholesale trade are aware, the Remnant Supple-
ment is a feature of The Review which adds immensely
to its value as an advertising medium. The Supplement
makes every remnant in a dealer's stock of equal value
yard for yard with the whole roll. No retail dealer can
afford to dispense with such an assistance to his business,
and it can be obtained only by subscribing for The Review,
for no copy will be furnished to anyone who is not a sub-
scriber.
The high estimation in which The Review and its Rem-
nant Supplement are held in the trade is too well known to
need comment here, but it seems both pertinent and timely

for us to take this occasion to thank our readers and ad-
vertisers for their prompt appreciation of our efforts
to serve them in every way possible.
DISCOUNTING BILLS.
SUPPOSE a retail dealer is doing a business of about
$30,000 a year on a stock of $10,000. In turning his
stock three times a year, as he would, he could, by dis-
counting his bills, make a profit of 12 per cent, per annum
on his investment, reckoning that the average discount he
would receive for prompt payment would be but 4 per
cent.
But some dealer will say that this profit could be secured
only when he had the cash in hand. This is true, of course;
but if his business were in sound condition he could easily
borrow the money from his bank at the rate of 6 per
cent, per annum, which would leave him still a clear profit
of 6 per cent, for the year.
BUSINESS FAILURES IN JANUARY.
rHE reports of business failures in January last, as given
in Dun's Review, show that the number and amount
for the month were remarkably small. The number is
about 300 below the average of the three previous years,
and 800 below January, 1894. The liabilities are 43 per
cent, less than in January of last year, 52 per cent, less
than in January, 1896, nearly 32 per cent, less than in
1894. Nor is the decrease confined to either general divi-
sion. In manufacturing failures are about a quarter of
those in 1894, and not much over a third of those last year
or in 1896, even falling a little below the remarkable rec-
ord of January, 1895, which has been surpassed in very
few months in any part of the year. In trading the fail-
ures are more than 25 per cent, less than last year, over 40
per cent, less than in 1896, nearly 40 per cent. less than in
1895, and 60 per cent, less than in 1894.
INFLUENCE AND CIRCULATION.
THE influence of The Review among retailers, as well as
in the wholesale trade, is shown very clearly in the
communications it is constantly receiving from dealers
throughout the country, and especially those from firms
announcing enlargements or removals of their stores, ad-
ditions of new departments, &c. The trade has doubtless
noticed that every issue of The Review contains a number
of such items which almost invariably come from the firms
themselves. The Review is always glad to receive and
print such news, because it shows that the dealers con-
cerned are intelligent men who have learned that nothing
succeeds like success, and who appreciate the influence of
The Review as well as its ability to make their enterprise
and prosperity known throughout the trade.
There is in this connection a point for the wholesale
trade to remember whenever the matter of advertising is
to be considered, and it is that the influence of a properly
conducted paper like The Review is as important as the ex-
tent of its circulation. An advertiser who desires to reach
any particular trade prefers of course the medium which has
the largest circulation in that trade. The Review meets
this demand exactly so far as the carpet and upholstery
trades are concerned, and, as the foregoing remarks have
shown, it does even more than this, for it lends to the ad-
vertiser the influence acquired by many years of careful,
conscientious attention to the interests of the trades it
represents. This is a point which seems to be every-
where appreciated, and if there are any who are excep-
tions to this rule The Review advises them to study the
matter a little more carefully.
YARDUM BROTHERS & CO.'S NEW SALESROOMS.
As announced in their advertisement on page 10 of this
issue, Yardum Brothers & Co., the extensive im-
porters of Oriental rugs, are now settled in their new
quarters, 594 and 596 Broadway, this city, where they
have two large lofts, with a front of 83 feet on Broad-
way, and running back 200 feet to Crosby street. With
about 17,000 square feet of floor space thus at their dis-
posal the firm have every facility which could be desired
for the display of their exceptionally extensive stock.
One immense loft is devoted to rugs, in which every make
of the Orient is represented, and the other loft, equally
large, is used for showing Japanese pottery, Damascus art
wares, &c.
In these new, elegant and spacious quarters Yardum
Brothers & Co. seem well warranted in securing a sub-
stantial increase in their already very extensive business.
Their large assortment of rugs will be greatly increased, and
buj^ers are advised to note the numerous special attractions
they are now offering to the trade.
NEW YORK SALESROOM OF
UNION CARPET LINING COMPANY.
THE Union Carpet Lining Company are occupying hand-
some new quarters at 39 Union square, West, having
removed thereto from White street on the 1st inst. The
new salesroom is in the first loft at the above address, and
they are showing a full line of comfortables in addition
to their carpet lining productions.
The Chicago Hassock Company are making a new stool
in three styles which has proven a rapid seller. The legs
are made of steel wire in nickel and copper finish, and
are "knocked down," thus
making a compact package "' ->,^
for shipment. A dozen of y ^^%_
these stools can be safely Wl^ '')
ordered by any dealer, and
will return a good profit.
The company has also re-
cently gotten out a new
foot pillow, or new style of ""^.^ >
hassock. Besides being
used as a foot rest, it can
be used when a raised dining chair is required, or forms a
comfortable seat on a front door step in summer weather.
It is upholstered with springs, and attractively covered.
Write to the Chicago Hassock Compn,ny, 47 West Van
Buren street, Chicago, regarding this new foot rest and
stool.
NO. 50.
Mandel Brothers, Chicago, have removed their ofBce in
this city from Franklin street to 450 Broome street.
Herbert Plimpton, selling agent for the Kirkcaldy
Linoleum Company, is recovering from an attack of
typhoid fever.

to the store at Seventh street and Avenue A, formerly
occupied by Leo Baumann & Co.
Schedules of William Romer, dealer in carpets and fur-
niture at 2166 Third avenue, who recently made an assign-
ment, show liabilities amounting to $2,203; nominal
assets, $2,580; actual assets, $1,654.
The Bloomingdale Brothers Employees' Mutual Aid
Society gave its annual entertainment and ball at the
Lexington Avenue Opera House on the night of the 10th

John Sloane, John Claflin, Nathan Straus and William
Berri are among the members of the executive committee
appointed to arrange for the celebration on May 4 of the
passage of the Greater New York charter.
E. W. Sutton, manufacturer of carpet lining and stair
pads, 53 to 57 Sedgwick street, Brooklyn, is in a position
to interest every buyer of such goods. Lewis Brown, his
representative on the road, has returned recently from a
successful trip through the West.
Geo. Van Dyne, representing William Henderson, of
Philadelphia, made a very successful Western trip re-
cently, and is now at the Broadway Central Hotel, with a
complete line of all grades of carpeting, including Colum-
bia Brussels.
Hadden & Co. have ranked for many years among the
largest importers of Chinese and Japanese mattings, and
their offerings as now on view in their store 356 Broadway,
this city, are of special extent and attractiveness. They
show also a large assortment of Japanese rugs.
A. & M. Karagheusiati are now occupying a spacious
floor at 365 Broadway, comer of Franklin street, and will
open up their new stock of Oriental rugs and carpets
within a few days. As stated before, this new depart-
ment will be in charge of Yartan H. Jinishian, who will
return this week from the Oriental markets, where he has
been purchasing goods. Karagheusian & Co. are a well-
known and important banking house, and with their large
resources will certainly become a prominent factor in the
wholesale Oriental rug business.
The Iran Company, of this city, has been incorporated
to deal in carpets, &c. The capital stock is $100,000, and
the incorporators are H. H. & M. H. Costikyan and
John C. Wall, of this city.
The first estimate of population of the consolidated city

A Senna silk carpet, 15x11 feet, and a Royal Kirman-
shah silk carpet, 11x7.6, are shown by G. Gulbenkian &
Co. The former has twelve distinct borders, and the design

and turquoise blue, with a handsome border, and is priced
at $2,500.

partment— rugs and mattings — in connection with their
upholstery department, which will be in charge of V. E.
Lott. C. E. B. Lamson, of the firm, and Mr. Lott are
now in town purchasing stock. They have made a tour

where they will always be cordially welcomed during their
stay in New York.
In the wholesale Oriental rug department of A. A.
Vantine & Co., on Eighteenth street, just west of Broad-
way, there are now offered particular inducements for
close buyers. Paul P. Filipachi, buyer for the depart-
ment, spent several months in the Orient last year before
the new tariff came into force, and purchased an immense
quantity of goods, which were landed under the old duty.
He anticipated the firm's wants for this season, and con-
sequently Vantine & Co. own goods which could not now
be replaced, except at a much higher cost. The extent of
the stock is apparent to any visitor, and the assortment is
highly creditable to even such an old and leading Oriental
rug house as Vantine & Co. Mr. Filipachi says he can

easily demonstrate to any rug buyer that the values offered
by the firm are the best in the market. Especial attention
is called to the very fine line of small rugs.
but of late the volume of business, it is said, has not been
as large as formerly, and their statements to the trade
showed they were making no headway.
Harriet M. Kendall, widow of the late Williarn B. Ken-
dall, whose death was noted in our issue of the 1st inst.,
has been appointed administratrix of the estate of the de-
cedent, which is valued at $450,000. The next of kin are
Elizabeth S. Kendall, a granddaughter, and Anne Ken-
dall Lamb, a daughter, wife of Col. A. E Lamb, of Brook-
lyn. Mr. Kendall left no will.
A notable -feature of the sixth auction sale of wool, held
at the Wool Exchange, this city, on the 9th inst., was the
presence of John M. Emmott, of the wool firm of Pearson
& Emmott, as the auctioneer of the occasion. Mr. Em-
mott will act as auctioneer of the Exchange until further
notice, and he is well qualified for the position, having
been connected for some years with the London wool sales.
The regular annual meeting for the election of officers
and directors of the Old Dominion Steamship Company
took place at the company's offices. Pier 26 North River,
New York, on the 8th inst. No changes were made in the

Huntington, C. P. Fischer, Wm Rowland, W'. L. Gillau-
deii, C. C. Stockley, John W. Causey.
The Hodges Fiber Carpet Company have a prominent
display of their fibre carpets and rugs at the new salesroom
of Sperry & Beale, their selling agents, 39 Union square,
West. The salesroom is on the second floor, which has a
glass front, and affords excellent facilities for displaying
the line. Sperry & Beale are having excellent success in
distributing the goods, and find a demand for their rugs
and Art Squares up to the fullest production.
A cut carpet and jobbing carpet department has re-
cently been opened by the Pittsburgh Dry Goods Company,
Pittsburg, Pa. The department is in charge of L. Lau-
tenslager. who was recently manager of Kaufman Broth-
ers' carpet and upholstery department, of Pittsburg, and
was also formerly in the carpet business in Allegheny, Pa.
The Pittsburg Dry Goods Company has handled uphol-
stery goods heretofore, but this is its first season in car-
pets. Mr. Lautenslager was in New York last week pur-
chasing goods for the new department.
Joseph C. Morris and John McKay, composing the
firm of Morris & McKay, dealers in carpets and furniture,
at Nos. 80 and 82 White street, this city, made an assign.
ment on the 3d inst. to Malcolm C. Warner, giving a pref-
erence to the E. S. Higgins Carpet Company, the amount
not being mentioned. Mr. Morris, who was formerly an
employee of the E. S. Higgins Carpet Company, started in
business in February, 1889, as Case, Morris & Co. Mr.
Case, who had also been in the employ of E. S. Higgins
& Co., died in August, 1891, and his interest was pur-
chased by Mr. McKay, and the style was changed to Mor-
ris & McKay. For some years they did an active busi-
ness, and were reputed to have an investment of $40,000,
The Cabinet Work and Parquet Flooring Company, of
No. 506 East Seventieth street, made an assignment on
the 8th inst. to Samuel Toch. The company was incor-
ported in April, 1894, with a capital stock of $2,500, and was
managed by L. R. Hartung, who had started in business
twenty years previously. Franz Pfreundschub is presi-
dent of the company. A chattel mortgage of $400 was
filed on the 8th inst. on the fixtures in favor of M. A.
Creighton.
An attachment has been obtained here against L. Stern-
berg & Co. (corporation), dealers in carpets, furniture,
clothing, &c., at Newark, N. J., with eight other stores
in various New Jersey cities and two stores in Brooklyn,
for $787, in favor of Henry Newman & Co., which was
obtained on the groimd that it is a foreign corporation.
There has been a disagreement for some time between the
owners of the concern — L. Sternberg, president, and
David Wolf, treasurer — which is now in court at Newark.
An examination of the company's affairs by expert ac-
countants shows assets of $297,000; liabilities, $80,000;
capital stock, $100,000.
George M. Farrell, an old employee of W. & J. Sloane,
has mysteriously disappeared. He was last seen on Sixth
avenue, near Eighteenth street, on the 2d inst. He left
his home in Brooklyn on the morning of that day, and his
family supposed that he had gone to business as usual.
He did not return in the evening, and his wife learned on
the following morning that he had not been seen in his
employer's store since the 1st inst. He had been in the
employ of W. & J. Sloane for a number of years as an
adjuster of claims, and was regarded as very efficient and
trustworthy. His habits were regular, and no one seems
able to account for his disappearance.

Philadelphia store. This amount represented the excess
in the retail profits of the store during the month of De-
cember, 1897, over the amount in December, 1896. vSome
of the employees received very snug checks. The dis-
tribution was made in checks. Mr. Wanamaker personally
superintended the distribution.
ANOTHER TAPESTRY MILL.
JOHN Davenport, who formerly manufactured upholstery
goods in Philadelphia, intends to begin the making
of Tapestry carpets, using for the purpose the portion of
his large mill at Hancock and Somerset streets which was
formerly occupied by Rowland & Schmidt. Mr. Hawley,
his son-in-law, will be associated with him. He expects
to have a line ready for the fall trade.
GULBENKIAN & CO.'S SPRING OFFERINGS.
("he extensive Oriental rug importers, Gullabi Gulben-
kian & Co., have just opened up their spring stock
of Turkish, Persian and Indian carpets and rugs, and in
the quantity of goods and choiceness of patterns and
quality, the assortment is certainly one that no rug buyer
can afford to overlook. A particular attraction of their
spring stock is the first showing of their exclusive new
makes, the Aziziye and Kutahia carpets. These large sized
carpets are all in private designs and effects never before
produced. They are the firm's own productions and there-
fore cannot be seen elsewhere.
Another special feature is their line of Indian carpets.
As usual with this firm, they have gone direct to the seat
of production for their supplies of Indian goods, as well as
of Turkish and Persian makes. Mr. Haroutune Gulben-
kian has recently secured the exclusive control of looms in
India which will hereafter be employed solely on produc-
tions for Gullabi Gulbenkian & Co. , turning out their own
designs. Last year Mr. Gulbenkian went to Persia and
established an exclusive connection for Persian rugs and
carpets, which products were exceptionally good sellers
during the past season.
In addition to their special makes, the firm show, as
usual, an immense stock of regular lines of Persian and
Turkish carpets and rugs. These include all the different
grades and are in small, medium and large sizes.
BRINGING BUYERS TO NEW YORK.
: railroads comprising the Cen-
tral Passenger Association have
finally agreed to grant the
request of the Merchants'
Association for reduced fares
to enable buyers to come to
New York for their spring
supplies. The roads forming
the Central Passenger Associa-
tion are as follows :
Allegheny Valley Ry.,
Bait. & Ohio R. R.,
Bait. & OhioS. W. Ry.,
Canadian Pacific Ry.,
Central R. R. of N. J.,
Chesapeake & Ohio Ry,
Northern Central Ry.
Pennsylvania Co.,
Pennsylvania R. R.,
Phila. & Erie Ry.,
Phila., Wilmington & Bait.,
Pitts. & L. Erie Ry.,
Pitts. & Western Ry.,
P., C, C. & St. L. Ry.,
Terre Haute & Ind. Ry.,
(Vandalia Line.)
Tol., Peoria & W. Ry.,
Wabash R. R.,
West Shore R. R.
Chicago & Erie R. R.,
Chicago & Grand Trunk Ry.
C, C, C. & St. L. Ry.,
D., L. & W. R. R.,
Detroit, G. H. & M. Ry.,
Erie R. R.,
Grand Rap. & Indiana,
Grand Trunk Ry., Canada.,
Lake Shore & M. S. Ry.,
Lehigh Valley,
Michigan Central R. R.,
N. Y. Central & H. R.,
N. Y , Chicago & St. L.,
N. Y., Ontario & W.,
Of course, many of these roads are also in the Trunk
Line Association, and not all of their mileage is therefore
included in the Central Passenger Association. This
mileage is 48,019 miles. In round numbers the popula-
tion of the States within the jurisdiction of the roads of
the Central Passenger Association is 11,784,960. Thus it
will be seen at a glance how very important this territory
was to New York for the spring trade. Telegrams have
been sent to the commissioners or chairmen of the other
passenger associations, and this matter will be followed
up with them all b}- wire and without a moment's delay.
These concessions give two periods of time within which
reduced rates to New York from all points in the central
traific territory will be available. The point of time dur-
ing which these reduced rates will be operative is about
the same as the period of time during which smaller rates
were operative last August to enable merchants to get to
New York for the fall trade. At that time the association
states that more than 1,000 merchants took advantage of
the reduced rates in the territory of the Central Passenger
Association.
The Rhodes, Snook & Haverty Furniture Company,
Atlanta, Ga., is closing out its stock, and the business
will be wound up May 1.
The new special credit reference book of the carpet and
upholstery trades, to be issued by the Carpet and Uphol-
stery Association, is nearing completion .It will be of uu-
questionable value to the manufacturers and wholesalers
of carpets and upholsteries, and all goods relating thereto.
Terms of subscription will be furnished on application to
the Carpet and Upholstery Association, 346 Broadway,
New York.

beek & Arkell, New York, left Constantinople lately for India.
Bedell.— Right Worshipful Stephen C. Bedell, D.D. of the
Eighth District F. and A. M., is salesman of the Chelsea Jute Mills.
The Tribune, of New York, recently printed a picture of him which
showed a bald headed man of about 100 years of age. As a matter
of fact, Steve was bom in Brooklyn in 18-58, and graduated at the
Polytechnic Institute. His size would entitle him to a place on the
Broadway Squad. He is a thoroughbred in every waj-, and his
Masonic brethren can do him no honor which his business associates
and friends will not accept as his right. When honors count he has
four to his credit every time.
CoNST.\BLE. — F. A. Constable, of the firm of Arnold, Constable &
Co. , sailed for Europe recently.
E.ASTMAN. — Kirk B. Eastman, for more than twenty years with
Pedrick & Closson, Lawrence, Mass., is now with the Home Furni-

ture dealer, and owner of the Grand Opera House in that city, has
announced his willingness to "hang up " a $33,000 purse for a finish
contest between Fitzsimmons and C orbett. under the auspices of the
Empire Athletic Club at Kirk Park, that city. Mr. Graff is convinced
that the men can be brought together, and if he can accomplish that
result he -ivill certainly be entitled to the thanks of the public, as it
will have the effect of stopping their combats in the new.spapers, if
only temporarily.
Greenough. — F .D. Greenough, formerly with The Goshen Sweeper
Company, is now with the Sweeperette Company, and travels from
their New York office, 76 Fifth avenue.

"Puss in the Corner." When the 5:18 p.m. special pulled up at
Franklin street he always struck the seat next the engine, and rode
peacefulljT up to 12.5th street. Now that he is up among the silk
stockings he has to take his chances at the Eighteenth street station
and hang gracefully to a strap while the Tenderloin aristocrats climb
over his corns.
Law. — W. W. Law, of W. & J. Sloane, sailed for the Mediter-

rug department, returned recently from a buying trip to the Orient.
SuYDAM — Carter. — Jos. Suydam, carpet and upholstery buyer for
Emery, Bird, Thayer & Co., Kansas City, has resigned the position
to enter the employ of the Robert Keith Furniture and Carpet Com-
pany, in the same city. G. J. Carter has been engaged by Emery,
Bird, Thayer & Co., as announced in the last number of The
Review, to succeed Mr. Suydam. Mr. Carter was for about seven
years past with the R. H. White Company, Boston.
TuR.NEY. — W. H. Tumey, carpet buyer for E. C. Tower, Troy,

for good times to come with the opening of spring.
SMYRNA RUGS AND ART SQUARES.
WT. Smith & Son have been doing quite a land office
• business on their " Medallion " Art Squares, and
will soon add Pro-Brussels Art Squares to their line.
Since they started to manufacture Art Squares they have
been putting in new looms constantly, until they now have
a very large output, which enables them to fill all orders
promptly.
On their Royal Axminster Smymas they have been
more than busy, having increased their output to 125 large
carpets per day, and are even now adding more large
looms to keep up to the demand.
The junior member of the firm, who is now in Cali-
fornia, reports a very large increase in business at their
branch house in San Francisco, and that the prospects for
an increased business this coming spring are verj- bright.
The entire business of the firm in all departments shows a
handsome increase over last season's business. Buyers
going to the Xew York market should not fail to call at
their New York office, 337 Broadway, where they have a
complete line of goods on show, and local buyers will also
find full lines of goods and mill prices at their difiierent
agencies.
LARGE AUCTION SALE OF CARPETS.
THE entire stock of carpets saved from the fire in the
big wholesale and retail establishment of J. & J.
Dobson, Philadelphia, will be sold by auction in New York
some time in March. This immense lot of goods com-
prises some 10,000 or more rolls of the different grades of
carpetings, also rugs, mattings, floor oil cloths, linoleums,
&c.
The Underwriters' Salvage Company, of New York,
took the entire stock from the Chestnut street establish-
ment and are sorting and preparing it for sale by auc-
tion. It will be a peremptory sale, the date of which will
be announced in our issue of March 1. The large quantity
of goods offered will make it worth while for bu3rers
throughout the country to attend.

Boston,
February 10.
BOSTON BUDGET.
Business started up in an encouraging way the first of
last week, but met a sudden and empliatic check in
the great snow storm that visited this sec-
tion of the country, and temporarily shut
off all communication by mail and wire.
Andy Neeson towered above all the snow drifts, and has
been getting some good Boston orders — due, he says, to
his good looks.
Frothingham, Hefternan & Co have put new carpets
into Grace Church in South Boston.
Charles H. Pray, of Montclair, N. J., son of John A.
Pray, of this city, is here on a visit.
Mr. Gilbert, of Gilbert, Brooks & Tebbuts, is just in
from a fortnight on the road. He is fairly well satisfied
with results.
George E. Hyde, in charge of the carpet making and
laying department at John H. Pray, Sons & Co.'s, has
gone South for an outing.
John de Andria, representing P. de Andria & Co. , manu-
facturers of Oriental rugs, Constantinople and Smyrna,
has been calling on the Boston trade this week.
The Lowell Manufacturing Company has declared a
semi-annual dividend of $20 per share, payable at the
treasiTrer's office in this city on April 1, to stockholders of
record, January 31, 1898.
There is to be a picture gallery on the carpet floor at
R. H. White & Co.'s store. The many other improve-
ments introduced of late by Manager Bacon have trans-
formed his department almost entirely, and made the dis-
play of rugs, carpet and furniture very attractive.

New England Notes.
S. L. Simpson & Co. succeed S. L, Simpson, carpet
and furniture dealer, New Haven, Conn.
The carpet mill at Palmer, Mass., which had been par-
tially shut down, resumed operations on January 24.
The Plymouth Furniture Company, Benson & Davis
proprietors, succeeds W. N. Mayers & Co. at Plymouth,
Mass.
William Campbell has retired from the firm of Brown,
Thomson & Co., Hartford, Conn., on account of ill health,
and has sailed for the West Indies.
The E W. Lynch Furniture Company, of Worcester,
Mass., is making some important alterations and improve-
ments in its place of business. It is adding upward of
10,000 feet of floor space, which will give a total of 50,000,
making one of the largest and most conveniently arranged
furniture warerooms in New England.
Petherbridge & Burns, dealers in carpets, furniture and
housefurnishing goods, Pittsfield, Mass., have removed to
Burns' Yellow Block, a few doors north of their old loca-
tion, where they occupy the entire building, three stories
and basement, 40 feet front, and comprising 26,000 square
feet of floor space. Chairs, rattan goods, crockery, &c.,
are shown in the basement, and the office of the firm is on
the first floor. The building has been thoroughly over-
hauled and is equipped with a freight elevator.
The Review has received the following circular letter:
Portland, Me., February 1, 189S.
Gentlemen— I have to announce that Mr. Moses M. Bailey has
withdrawn from the firm of H. J. Bailey & Co., with which firm
and its predecessors at the same stand I have been associated for
twenty-six years. The business will be continued on the same gen-
eral plan as heretofore under the firm name of Johnston, Bailey &
Co., of which firm I shall be an active member.
Very truly yours, T. M. Johnston.
There was some talk last week to the effect that the
Waterbury (Conn.) Furniture Company had made an as-
signment, and that John Moriarty, its president, had also
made an individual assignment. It is now said that the
affairs of both the company and Mr. Moriarty will be set-
tled without recourse to an assignment, and that R. A.
Lowe, who was nominated for trustee, has refused to
qualify and accept the trust.
A NEW ORIENTAL RUG DEPARTMENT.
AN important announcement to buyers of Oriental rugs
and carpets is made by Chadurjian Brothers on
page 7. This firm has formed a connection with C. A.
Auffmordt & Co., a wealthy and leading importing
house, and has opened a new rug department in the lat-
ter's building, 33 and 35 Greene street and 78 Grand
street. New York. Chadurjian Brothers will operate this
department in addition to their regular salesroom at 369
Broadway, which will be continued as heretofore. This
new connection means the offering to the trade of a very
largely increased stock of Oriental goods, and will place
Chadurjian Brothers in a position to compete for the pat-
ronage of the largest buyers in the country. The Messrs.
Chadurjian, being natives of the Orient, have unexcelled
facilities for selecting and securing goods at lowest values,
their importations coming through their own house in
Constantinople and from their factory in Cesarea, Asia
Minor. They have a considerable cjuantity of goods left
which were imported under the old tariff and which can be
procured at very low prices.
John B. Haygooni, an experienced Oriental rug mer-
chant, has become connected with Chadurjian Brothers,
and will divide his time between the Broadway and Greene
street establishments of the firm
NEW ONE-PIECE RUGS.
As has been previously announced in The Review,
Barnes & Beyer, the well-known curtain manufac-
turers of Philadelphia, have been preparing for several
months past to produce pile rugs in one piece in the lead-
ing large sizes. They have at their factory the first pro-
ducts of these new goods, which only require shearing and
finishing to be ready for the market. They expect to show
several patterns in May and to be fully prepared to take
orders for the fall season.
The manufacture of these one-piece Axminster or pile
rugs in this country is an important happening in the
carpet trade, as it will doubtless lead to an increased use
of this class of goods. With one or two exceptions, no firm
in this country has previously made the large sized single
face Axminster or chenille rugs, and the great bulk of the
goods which have been consumed has been imported
from Scotland, England and Germany. The trade should
be on the lookout for the offering of Barnes & Beyer's
new rugs, which event will be duly chronicled in The
Review.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
ARTIFICIAL FLOORINGS.
UNITED States Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz, Ger-
many, reports that a German named Knoch has
invented two kjnds of artificial flooring which have impor-
tant merits. One, which is called Knoch's cork stone, is
made of ground cork (cork meal, as it is called), tan-bark
meal, ground up peanut shells, or any other suitable vegeta-
ble matter, mixed with paper waste, alum or other fireproof
materials and molded into bricks . These are dried in kilns
or in the open air. The material thus made is damp-proof,
sound-proof and, to a very large extent, fireproof. The
bricks so made and impregnated may char or molder and
and burn away, but they will not blaze. They are as near
fireproof as any such substance can be made.
The other flooring material is made by dissolving
chloride of magnesium in water at 27° Beaume. To 1
pound of salt is put 1 litre (a trifle over a quart) of cold
water. The salt must be totally dissolved by the water
before the solution is ready for use. As soon as the salt
is thoroughly dissolved, 30 kilograms (66 pounds) of burnt
powdered magnesium and 2 kilograms (4 .4 pounds) of
leather meal (finely groimd leather waste) are mixed in a
drum or tub by hand. Six kilograms (13.2 pounds) of
this mixture are then mixed with 6 litres of the chloride of
magnesium solution. This mixture must be thoroughly
kneaded by hand or by a kneading machine until a uni-
form ptilpy mass results. This mass may be spread over
the surface, to be covered and bound in, to keep it from
running, with wooden, tin, or sheet iron forms. It must
be smoothed or evened off by means of a smoothing iron
or utensil. The same process, practically, must be gone
through when making plates of this material in molds.
When a better, more isolating, linoleum-like plate or floor-
ing is wanted, the mixture must contain 3 or more, instead
of 2, kilograms of leather meal. Such a mixture gives a
beautiful surface, and isolates sound, moisture, fire, &c.
To still further isolate and to obtain an elastic flooring, a
good plan is to put, first, a layer of the mixture, next a
layer of dry cork meal or vegetable stuff, and on top of
this another layer of the mixture.
It seems possible that this flooring will be used largely in
Europe as a substitute for linoleum or floor oil cloth.
We are indebted to Mr. Wm. G. Hockridge, of Arnold,
Constable & Co. , for a recent copy of the Japanese paper
called "The Weekly Box of Curios," in which we note
among the announcements of arrivals of distinguished per-
sons at Yokohama the names of George B. Swayne, mat-
ting buyer for W. & J. Sloane; Albert Graft', of A. Graff
& Co., and T. D. Stinson. An alleged portrait of Mr.
Graff also appears in the paper.
In the windows of a New York store appear these two

THE CLAFLIN COMPANY'S CARPET DEPARTMENT.
THE business done in the carpet department of the H. B.
Claflin Company during January was the largest ever
recorded in the history of the house. At the present
pace the department will, by the time this reaches our
readers, have passed all records. We have seen the fig-
ures, and know the absolute truth of the statement. To
have beaten a year like '92 in a month which is far from
being in late years the banner month of the twelve should
be sufficient glory, prices being considered, but the ex-
pectations of the house — and the H. B. Claflin Company is
a very conservative old concern — are that it will shortly
do better. As the entire dry goods trade regard the com-
pany as the great barometer of business, this news is ex-
ceptionally good news. Moreover it has within it a lesson
that some of our readers may take to heart.
A few days ago 1,000 manufacturers assembled in this
city to discuss ways and measures to secure manufacturing
prosperity. After three days of discussion they got up a
banquet, and invited the President of the United States to
address them. He told them in those beautiful phrases
which are so soothing and so familiar that they were being
deluged with prosperity. The statement caused some of
those present to ask where they were at, and why they
were at it anyhow.
No manufacturer interested in the H. B. Claflin Com-
pany's carpet department was at that dinner. He had
been going on making his goods during the fall. It was
Lawrence Winters' business to do the rest, and Winters
has not yet been obliged to call upon Mr. McKinley to tell
him how to do his work.
The old established floor oil-cloth house of Alden
Sampson & Sons is at the front as usual as regards artistic
salable patterns and reliable quality of goods. Mr. Henry
Sampson, of the firm, takes a cheerful view of the future,
believing that a great improvement in all kinds of busi-
ness is near at hand. Mr. Lincoln says that trade at
present is as good as can be expected at this time of the
year.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
MISTAKEN IDEAS IN THE RUG TRADE.
ESiRAELE as many Oriental
rugs may be there is prob-
ably no branch of the car-
pet trade in this country in
which so much misunder-
standing exists. A dealer
may call an Oriental rug by
almost any name he chooses,
and, unless the purchaser be
a connoisseur, detection is
almost impossible.
True, each district may
send out its own individual
design or weave, which no
other district may copy,
but there is often an
overlapping, as it were,
of products that is ex-
. -- ■ ' S. tremely puzzling, even
''-;::~rzi:rz=^Ss-L_ to the experienced
buyer. To illustrate :
The large sized Yourdes (or Ghiordes) rugs are manufac-
tured in a district of Smyrna, Turkey, so also is the
Innely, or Demirjik, in which the pile or nap is very much
the same, being only slightly heavier than the Yourdes.
Gullistans and Hamidies also come from the Smyrna dis-
trict, the former being frequently sold for Hamidies.
Where so slight a difference exists it will be seen that mere
names are often interchangeable.
It is conceded that many Oriental rugs are very old,
very many representing several generations; in fact, the
finest antiques are frequently of unknown age. In respect
to colors time is an artist and imparts to what may at first
be glaring effects a richness, a softness found in no other
dyes but the Oriental, which are composed of vegetables,
and are produced by fermentation. All efforts to imitate
the lasting qualities of these dyes by means of chemicals
have failed, but so-called modem " enterprise" has intro-
duced these chemical dyes to such an extent that there are
but few of the large sized Turkish or Persian carpets pro-
duced at the present day in which vegetable dyes are used,
all claims to the contrary notwithstanding. For this reason
the value of an antique Oriental rug must continually
increase.
Many Persian rugs, notably the Herez, come in camel's
hair colors, said to be natural, but oftener dyed. Others,
very bright in color, are manipulated by unscrupulous
workmen, who use certain acids to produce the desired
dull effect. This method invariably rots the fibre, a fact
which the unsuspecting buyer may not discover until too
late.
Notwithstanding these dravi^backs there is a charm, an
individuality about an Oriental rug that grows with associ-
ation. Much of this is due to their almost infinite variety.
Although the weaver may follow a pattern, the possession
of his family for generations, he allows such play to the
fancy in working out the design, he is such a wizard in
the blending of colors, through a Hfetime of study, that
the result is scarcely two rugs are alike. Except in the
machine made article, it is doubtful if any two rugs are
ever found that are precisely alike in every respect.
Herein is another advantage of the genuine hand-made
Oriental production over the modern machine woven
textile. Old Dealer.
ST. LOUIS SIFTINGS.
The unsold portion of the stock of the " Fair Shoe and
Clothing Company," including a lot of carpets, matting
and upholsteries was sold by auction on the
St. Louis,
February 8.

creditors.
The J. Kennard & Sons Carpet Company have con-
verted their entire second floor into a rug department,
which they say is the largest and most elegant of the kind
in the United States. It is certainly immense and im-
posing.
At the annual election of the Business Men's League,
held two weeks ago, Mr. S. M. Kennard declined a re-
election as president, owing to pressing private engage-
ments. His retirement was deeply regretted by the
members, who expressed their sentiments in a highly com-
plimentary resolution.
On January 24 Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Trorlicht gave one
of the largest balls that ever occurred in St. Louis. It
took place at the rooms of the Union Club and the occa-
sion was the introduction of their daughters, the Misses
Trorlicht to the fashionable world. Several hundred
guests participated and the floral decorations and other
arrangements were magnificent. The receiving party
included Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Trorlicht, Mr. and Mrs. H.
E. Trorlicht, Miss Trorlicht and Miss Lilian Trorlicht.
Among the guests were Capt. Henri Duncker, Mr. Charles
Duncker and Mr. Louis Renard, of the Trorlicht, Duncker
& Renard Carpet Company and many other distinguished
citizens and their families.
The Governor of Missouri and the Mayor of St. Louis
are bestirring themselves in order to secure a full repre-
sentation of the merchants and manufacturers of the State
at the Omaha Exposition. For that purpose it is proposed
to raise a fund of $50,000 and the following (among other)
committees have been selected to canvass the mercantile
community of this city: On carpets, Messrs. J. B. Ken-
nard, Louis Renard and I. H. Tiemeyer; on dry goods
(wholesale), Messrs. Elias Michael, E. C. Lewis, Morris
Glaser and G. H. Augustine; on dry goods (retail),
Messrs. D. C. Nugent, Geo. M. Wright, J. F. Crawford,
C. A. Stix and C. E. Barney; on furniture, Messrs. Gea,
T. Parker, M. Lammert and James A. Reardon; on mat-
tresses, H. N. Davis and J. H . Kentner. All appointees
have entered upon the work with enthusiasm and a suc-
cessful exhibit from St. Louis is already assured.

Albert Ammerman.
Albert Ammerman, who died on the 3d inst., was a large
factor in the buildingupof oneof Brooklyn's most successful
and important enterprises in the furniture, carpet and
drapery trade. He was secretary and general manager and
a large stockholder in the Cowperthwait Company. The
name of Cowperthwait dates back to Revolutionary times,
but the growth of the Cowperthwait Company of Brook-
lyn has been largely due to the energy and good manage-
ment of Mr. Ammerman. When the present concern was
formed in 1881 he was the moving spirit.
Mr. Ammerman was born in Englishtown, Monmouth
County, N. J., sixty years ago, and began his mercantile
life at the age of eleven as a boy in a country store in New
Brunswick, where he remained until of age, when he took
a position with A. T. Stewart & Co. Two years later he
became secretary and general manager of the South
Brooklyn Saw Mill and Lumber Company. Here he
remained till 1878, when he was elected Auditor of the
City of Brooklyn. Two years later he determined to re-
turn to commercial life, and the result was the establish-
ment of the Cowperthwait Company. Under his manage-
ment the concern has won a distinguished success.
These facts in themselves are sufficient to characterize
Mr. Ammerman's business abilities. Socially he was a
tactful gentleman, who will be missed by many who
never had trade dealings with him. He was a mem-
ber of the Oxford Club, Long Island Council, R. A.,
and belonged to several Masonic orders, as well as the
Scottish Rite and the Mystic Shrine. He was also a
valued member of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian con
gregation. He leaves a widow and four daughters, three
of whom are married.
The funeral services were held at Mr. Ammerman's late
residence, 150 South Elliott place, Brooklyn, at 11 a. m
on the 5th inst.. Rev. Dr. Gregg officiating. Among
those present were Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Cowperthwait,
J. Howard Cowperthwait and many employees of the
Cowperthwait Company, as well as Wm. Berri, of Wm.
Berri's Sons; John Cornell, of W. & J. vSloane; R. B.
Halley, of the Lowell Company; John Kirby, of the H. B.
Claflin Company; A. Watson, of Abraham & Straus, and
E. W. Jacobson, of The Review.
Richard Scorer, of the firm of Scorer &. Hepler, carpet
and furniture dealers. Homestead, Pa., died on January
20 of typhoid fever: The firm has been in business about
three years and has been very successful.

Charles Schofield, a retired manufacturer, died on Jan-
uary 31 of pneumonia at his residence, Roxborough, Pa.
Mr. Schofield was born in England in 1820, and came to
this country more than forty years ago, and located on
Mill Creek road, at a place known as Toddtown, Mont-
gomery County, Pa., where he began manufacturing car-
pet yarns. He subsequently removed to Roxborough,
and carried on the same business at Manayunk until about
twenty years ago, when he retired. He is survived by
two children.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review :
I hope our remnant list was not to late for publication,
for there never was such an enclycopsedia or universal
benefit to the retailer as the Remnant Supplement of The
Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review. It puts all re-
tailers everywhere in perfect touch with one another, and
no well regulated carpet department can afford to be with-
out it.

Latest advices from Canton state that the straw mat-
ting market is strong. No fresh settlements are reported,
as only April- May delivery can be obtained, and dealers
not wishing to run any risk are quoting high prices. An
all around increase in prices is maintained, and a further
rise may be expected. Contracts remain at 220,000 rolls.

In their last trade circular, H. W. Hammand & Co.,
the Liverpool wool brokers, say :
The public auctions of East India wool, in progress at the date of
our last issue, closed with a quiet tone on the 21st inst. The total
quantity offered was 27,517 bales, of which 8,500 bales are now held
over the account importers. The heavy withdrawals were again
mainly due to high limits. The result of the series is disappointing,
values showing a decline on almost all descriptions. The attendance
throughout the week was rather under the average, and competition
dragged except in the case of good Yellows, supported by a strong
export demand, which maintained previous sales' rates. Joria
Whites, owing to limited supply, also showed little or no change, but
Vickaniers sold irregularly at about _^d. per pound decline.
Kandahar ruled weak, entailing heavy withdrawals, a few lots of
clean long wool realized previous rates, but the large proportion of
dingy and dirty parcels were subject to a decline of }{.&. to ^d. per
pound, and the same applies to Yellows under 6d. per pound usually
in request for the United States. Medium whites, such as Jessel-
raere, Marwar and short Bicanere were again weaker by %A., due to
the quiet state of the blanket trade, and gray wools were also easier
to buy, while ginned showed no quotable change. The most disap-
pointing feature was the limited American demand, purchases
amounting to only 2,300 bales against 4,900 bales in November; on
the other hand 2,800 bales were bought for France, compared with
1,700 bales in the previous series.
On the same subject Hughes & Isherwood, wool brokers,
Liverpool, say:
The result of this series has come as an unpleasant surprise to
everyone. That the home trade has suffered severely from the
engineers' strike and fears of other labor difficulties, seems to be in-
disputable; and, of course, deprived of the usual LTnited States
demand, 27,500 bales was a supply much in excess of buyers'
requirements. In these circumstances it is significant that while
Bombay consignments — which are properly cleaned — suffered only
slightly in value and were nearly all sold, Karachi shipments met a
much worse experience. Not only was the fall in their case heavier,
but a very large proportion of them had to be taken in. For the
poor reception they met with two causes are mainly responsible, viz.,
their general unattractiveness and in many cases dirty condition,
and the mistaken policy which many shippers follow of continuing
to put limits on them. American mills, which for some time past
have been their chief buyers, have discovered at last how unsatis-
factory their outturn is and — in the present state of the carpet
industry there at any rate — want no more of them. No feature in
this series was more marked than the good reception accorded to
clean, carefully sorted shipments and the neglect shown to badly got
up wool, especially when it was hampered with limits or was old,
held over stock.
Under Special Notices will be found an opportunity for
an active man to buy out an established carpet and furni-
ture business in Brooklyn.

JAPANESE RUGS AND CARPETS.
loNSLL Brekan, in a report
to the British Government
on the industries of Japan,
says : ' ' Carpet and rug
manufacture emploj's a
large number of hands,
chiefly children. In Japan
the carpet is a modem
luxurj-. The trade has now
grown to large proportions,
and affords one instance of
the Japanese being able to
beat those from whom they
learned. In 1890 27,593
carpets, valued at 51,048
yen, were exported; in
1896 the exports were
661,732 carpets, valued at
1,152,177 yen. Carpet
making affords a striking
example of the successful
competition of cheap labor with machinery. At Sakai
there is no large factor}' ; the hand looms are distributed
all over the town, and the carpet dealers supply the ma-
terial and pay the workers by the piece. In each house
there may be three or four looms, ranging from 3 feet to
24: feet wide. To each loom there are from two to four
children, with a grown-up person superintending the work.
With incredible speed the children, some of them as young
as seven, pass the yam in and out of the warp, and snip
off the right length with a pair of spring clippers. They
are all kneeling at their work on a plank laid at the foot
of the loom, and they slide backward and forward along
their allotted share of the design. As their little fingers
pass the yam in and out of the cotton threads these small
children sing a sort of nursery rhyme, which helps them
to remember the pattern, and at intervals the woman in
charge leads off a new verse, which the children at once
take up, and simultaneousl}' effect the change suggested
by the new music and words. They work, or at least are
at their work, for twelve hours a day, and their wages
come to about Id. a day, but the amount, whatever it is,
does not trouble them, for it is not theirs to spend. Japa-
nese child life throughout the land seems happy, but I
make an exception in the case of these little carpet weavers,
who pass all their waking hours amid such unattractive
surroundings. The workshop is a dismal, sunless spot,
and from daylight to dark these busy little workers have
nothing more cheerful to gaze upon than the ever-recurring
design they are laboriously developing."
"Woolen carpets are also being manufactured, but in
price they seem far to exceed similar carpets made in Xorth
China, without a corresponding improvement in quality.
Small silk carpets are also being made, but the demand for
these is limited. For a silk carpet of any given dimension
ninety times the labor is required that is needed in the case
of a hempen carpet. Three hands will make an ordinary
hemp or wool rug, 3 feet by 6 feet, in one day, and it would
take the same workers three months to make the silk car-
pet. The number of carpet weaving establishments in
this district is nearly 2,000, producing 3,000,000 square
yards of carpet in the year, and employing 5,000 male and
13,000 female workers."
THE CRAWSHAW CARPET COMPANY.
n^HE Crawshaw Carpet Company, Xewburgh, X. Y., has
been incorporated with a capital of $75,000, as was
announced in The Review of February 1. The Xewburgh
Xews says that the capital stock is all taken and paid up.
In addition to Ingrain carpets the new company is to
manufacture Smyrna rugs. The mills are located on
Broadway at West Xewburgh, and carpet manufacture
has for some years been conducted there under the firm
name of George Crawshaw's Sons. The late George
Crawshaw began in 1872 to weave rag carpet in a building
on Broadway, opposite the car stables. Xext he moved
to Xo. 90 Broadway, where he opened a carpet store and
ran a couple of looms in a rear room. In 1880 Mr. Craw-
shaw took his sons Samuel and Mark into partnership.
About 1881 they began to manufacture Ingrain carpets.
George Crawshaw retired with a competency in 1886, and
died May 25, 1888. Since then the business has been car-
ried on by his sons Samuel and ilark.
The main buildings are two in number, built of brick,
one having dimensions of 100x50 feet and two stories high,
and the other 132x112 feet and one story high.
The shares of stock in the company are owned as fol-
lows, the par value of each share being $100: ilark Craw-
shaw, 320; Samuel Crawshaw, 320; Jos. A. Sneed, 15;
A. Denniston, 10; A. Y. Weller, 10; Fred Baker, 10;

A Fourteenth street, Xew York, auctioneer advertises
his store as a " regular knock-down shop for bidding

The line of Kurdistan carpets now shown by Arnold,
Constable & Co. deserves the special attention of buyers.
They are heavy all wool goods, in a large variety
of sizes, and the designs and colorings are both new and
handsome. Another attractive specialt}' in :Mr. Hock-
ridge's rug department is the new line of Iran rugs in
three sizes.
A Xew York Assemblyman has introduced a bill which
provides that all tight board fences fronting any lot shall
be removed by August 1, and that no such fences shall be
erected hereafter. Wooden fences must be of pickets, or
otherwise open, and must not be used for advertising pur-
poses. All advertising fences or signs must stand back at
least 20 feet on the lot The penalty is $200 fine or thirty
days' imprisonment, or both.

LEGISLATING AGAINST CONVICT MADE GOODS.
ARE pending in Congress three
bills intended to limit or
suppress the sale of prison
made goods. One bill, pre-
sented by Representative
Gibson, of Tennessee, pro-
vides that all goods made in
whole or in part in any State
or Territor}' by convicts shall
before transportation into any
other State or Territory be
labeled, branded or stamped
in legible and permanent
manner, " Made by Convicts
at ." The bill further
provides that all vehicles and boats upon which convict-
made goods are transported from one State to another
shall be labeled in letters easily read at a distance of 100
feet, " Work of Convicts at •."
All convict-made goods when transported from one
State into another are to become subject to the laws of the
State into which they are thus taken, and all merchandise
transported in violation of the act -is to be forfeited to the
United States. Persons violating the act are to be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by fine.
Another bill, presented by Representative Southwick, of
New York, provides that every person who knowingly
transports or causes to be delivered for transportation for
commercial purposes from any State or Territory in which
they are in whole or in part manufactured, any goods,
wares or merchandise in whole or in part the product of
convict labor into any other State or Territory shall be
deemed giiilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of
not less $2.50 or more than $500, or by imprisonment not
exceeding one year, or both.
The third bill, framed by Representative Littauer, of
New York, provides for a license for the sale of convict
made goods and for labeling and marking the same . It
prohibits persons or corporations from selling convict
made goods without a license. Such license is to be pro-
cured from the Secretary of the Treasury upon payment
of an annual fee of $500 and must be kept conspicuously
posted in the place of business where such goods are sold.
In addition it is provided that all goods made by convict
labor shall be plainly stamped with the words " Convict
Made,'' followed by the year when and the name of the
penitentiary or other establishment in which the article
was made. The labels are required to be printed in plain
English of the style and size known as great primer
Roman condensed capitals. Brands are required to be
used where the nature of the article will permit and only
where branding is impossible shall a label be used.
Violations of these provisions are to be punished by
fines for each offense not to exceed $100, or by imprison-
ment not exceeding one year, in addition to the forfeiture
of the license.
FOREIGN FACTS.
Exports of carpeting and rugs from the consular district
of Bradford, England, to the United States for the twelve
months ending December 31, 1897, amounted in value to
$110,438.12.
John Crossley & Sons are one of the two English firms
that have secured the right to use the Crompton Axmin-
ster looms in Great Britain, and they have paid the in-

New English Carpet Weaves.
The Kidderminster Shuttle says: "Carpet manufac-
turers are doing all they can, not only to hold markets,
but to open new ones, by catering for the increasingly
varied tastes of the people. Quite recently we have seen
several specimens of new fabrics made on the Jacquard
and Axminster looms, and while some of the carpet has
already got an introduction on the market, and meets
with much favor, the developments have not reached such
a stage that we can describe them in detail. In one direc-
tion the endeavor is to produce a carpet similar to the
Axminster on the Brussels principle; while in another
direction a carpet is being woven on the Jacquard loom,
giving the coloring effects such ae have been only obtained
in the Royal Axminster carpet. Our local manufacturers
are determined to be in the vanguard with regard to im-
provements in the carpet trade."
ORIENTALS FROM LORD & TAYLOR.
AVERY large and desirable stock of Oriental rugs and
carpets is offered to trade buyers by Lord & Taylor,
New York. For some years this firm have been extensive

they held a bigger or better stock to select from than at
present. It will pay to write them about the goods, or
buyers are invited to visit the store and thoroughly exam-
ine the lines in carpet, medium and small sizes.

SOME REMINISCENCES
OF THE LATE WILLIAM B. KENDALL.
NLY a few days ago there were
gathered in a downtown club-
house several merchants, whose
names are household words in
the dry goods trade. Between
the walnuts and the wine the
conversation drifted to the late
William B. Kendall.
" I wonder how it is," said one
gentleman, whose iron-gray hair
told of years of service in the
trade, " that men of the press,
whenever they are called upon
to say a clever thing about one
of us who has laid down the
harness, always tells the story of our achievements in
later years They invariably forget that we were all boys
once. As a matter of fact, I recall with much more
pleasure the day when I was a member of a Yale crew
and came swinging up Lake Quinsigamond at Worcester
three lengths ahead of Hansard than the day ten years
later, when I closed the big deal in prints which made
me a partner in the house of which that decrepit old
fellow across the table and I are now the owners."
" Those " he went on, " who only knew Mr. Kendall in
his later years can hardly have any idea of the man as he
was before the broader and more weighty burdens and re-
sponsibilities of life had been laid upon his shoulders.
They will perhaps merely recall a handsome gentleman,
well groomed, faultlessly appareled, dignified — nay
courtly — in bearing, reserved at times in, speech, but al-
ways unable to conceal the bright twinkle of the eye, which
told of large stores of fun and sarcasm behind, needing
only occasion or provocation to break loose, and abounding
in a tact which was absolutely ready and armed against
the most unpleasant and untoward circumstance. There
are few of his old associates who remember or who can
without some strain of memory recall the days when he
won a prize for a long cast of a trout fly, his beating-
several of the old Long Island crowd of gunners at double
birds, the skill with which he could play a salmon or his
unerring accuracy with a rifle. Still less can most of them
recall the athletic times when he was a member of the
Excelsior Baseball Club, of Brooklyn. One of his fellows
in the organization was our old friend, F. M. Welles, of
Lawrence, Taylor & Co., the Worth street commission
house, and secretary of the Merchants' Club. Mr. Welles
has not forgotten how in their salad days Kendall used to
shout with a voice strident as a fog horn from his position
at second base, ' Welles, you duffer, will you get that ball
to third?' And Welles would add with a reminiscent
smile, ' In those days it was out on the first bound.' "
"I remembervery well," said George Wheelright, "when
Kendall was in the Excelsior Club. I was then a member
of the junior club known as the Stars. The Excelsiors
played at the corner of President street and Third avenue,
and later at a place called Smedley's Park, at the foot of
Court street, Brooklyn. Our club was then a social as well
as a baseball club, but the Excelsior was solely a baseball
organization. We played against Kendall's team and beat
them, and Kendall and his friends drafted our best players
into their organization. Soon after the professional game
began, and though at that time there was an opportunity
to make large money in the venture, I doubt if W. B.
Kendall ever held a share of stock in the half dozen com-
panies which in succeeding years made so much money
out of the baseball business."
" An instance," said an old carpet man, " of Kendall's
persistence in adherence to any man or any method which
once gained his approval can be found in the columns of
your own paper. The advertisement of the Bigelow Com-
pany, which now appears in The Carpet and Uphol-
stery Trade Review, has never been changed. It was
written in 1883 by T. A. Kennett, of your staff, for a spe-
cial issue of a Western trade paper. Its form struck
Kendall at once, and he immediately ordered it to be
reproduced in your own paper and in all other trade jour-
nals with which he had contracts. He spent thousands of
dollars in exploiting it in Harper's, the Century, Scrib-
ner's and other magazines. Hundreds of times he insisted
that that succinct statement of the Bigelow Company's
claims did more to win popular recognition for the goods
than all other causes combined. I was in Kendall's office
when the advertisement 'first appeared. The late John F.
Orne, of Philadelphia, was attempting in his genial way
to comb down Kendall's evident self-satisfaction, and de-
clared that ' has ' should be ' have.'
" Kennett was sent for. Young Kendall, then a mere
lad, was standing by his father.
" ' Tom, Mr. Orne, says so and so.'
" ' Mr. Orne,' was the reply, " can sell a four frame car-
pet for a full five frame better than any other man in
America, but Mr. Orne's knowledge of the relation be-
tween nouns and verbs is probably not as accurate as
mine You paid me $70 for seven lines of good English.
You got your money's worth. It is full five frame Eng-
Hsh. '
"'Now, William,' said Kendall to his son, 'you see
Yale always wins. ' "
" Of course, a man who like Wm. B. Kendall, com-
pletely filled his stage, leaves no understudy, but it was
part both of his character and training to have no man
with him who was not in his special department eminently
competent and absolutely trustworthy. As a result he
leaves a corps of men under whose guidance the big
machine will move as smoothly and with as little friction
as it has moved during the past quarter of a century. In
Fairbanks, Holden, Starr, Plimpton and their associateSj
Mr. Kendall had a staff, each member of which was able
at a moment's notice to assume the position of a division
commander. "
"But," said one of the veterans, "there are several
things you fellows do not know about carpet history. I'll
tell you some of them. During the war Kendall, then
agent of the Bigelow Company, which was not in those
days a great account, was also selling agent for an
Ingrain manufacturing firm in Philadelphia called Lamed
& Starr. At that time Leander L. Frost, one of the most
vigorous and aggressive men the carpet trade has ever
seen, was manager for A. & A. Lawrence, the predecessors
46
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Re'/iew.
of Smith, Hogg & Gardner, the agents of the Lowell Com-
pany. ' Governor ' Davis had just about that time suc-
ceeded Mr. Duny as manager of H. B. Clailin & Co.'s
carpet department. My good mother and yours always
looked for a hollow stick in the centre of a roll of Ingrain.
If she found it she knew it was Lowell make. It was no
advantage to the carpet ; in fact, it was a detriment to the
goods, because they 'telescoped,' as it was said in those
days.
'■ But your good mother used when she bought a carpet
to put her nnger in the stick and was certain that she was
getting Lowell goods. Lamed & Starr used a hollow
stick to wind their goods upon. Then Frost arose in his
wrath. He first found an old grape leaf pattern in Davis'
stock which Lamed & Starr had copied. With magnifi-
cent audacity they had not even recut the cards, but where
the Lowell leaf was green with a black outline they had
simply reversed the harness and made the leaf black
with a green outline. The design was made by E. J. Xye,
and L. & S.'s carpet was the best of the two and Davis
was peddling it out right and left. Frost stamped on it at
once and served notice on H. B. Ciaflin & Co. to sell no
more of the goods. The very next number of The Carpet
Trade Review contained an advertisement notifying the
trade that the Lowell Company would prosecute any per-
son selling carpets wound on a hollow stick. At the same
time they showed outline drawings of the Lowell stick.

set aside.
Heath & Drake, the well-known dry goods and carpet
dealers, of Newark, N. J., are said to be contemplating
the sale of their stock and business. The firm is one of
the oldest in Newark, having been established in 1841.
Mr. Heath died about ten years ago, and his surviving part-
ner, E. C. Drake, continued the business until 1893, when
the heirs and executors of Mr. Heath formed a stock com-
pany with a capital stock of $210,000. Mrs. Haines, one
of Mr. Heath's daughters, died last spring, and it is said
that, according to the terms of his will, when one of his
daughters died the estate was to be divided among the
heirs. It is reported that a new company may be organ-
ized to buy out the business.
The Girard Furniture Company is one of the represent-
ative houses of Girard, Kan., and was established in
1869. The present
management, at the
head of which are
Messrs. Wm. M. Mc-
Donald and I. L.
Warner, whose por-
traits are presented
herewith, have been
prominent factors in
the upbuilding of
Girard and Crawford
County. They as-
sumed management
of the establishment
about three years
ago, and since have
j built up an enviable
trade. Their stock
' consists of a complete
line of carpets, furni-
ture, housefurnishings and undertaking goods, such as is
carried in first-class metropolitan stores. The firm
meets with a cordial support from the local and farming
public, and has catered to the trade in a most satisfactory
manner. Mr. McDonald is an ex-district clerk and

served in that capacity for a number of years in a faithful
and capable manner. They are domiciled in a handsome
three-story brick structure, which is the property of the
firm.
On January 18 fire broke out in the carpet and furniture
store of J. W. Teeple, at the corner of Broughton and
Montgomery streets, Savannah, Ga. The building was
set on fire by four little boys, who have since acknowl-
edged setting fire to several other buildings in the city.
The roof was practically burned off the top of the adjoin-
ing building, and a large hole burned into the top of Mr.
Teeple's place. His stock was damaged some by fire, but
the building was flooded, and the top floor at one time
stood several inches in water. Mr. Teeple carried $12,000
insurance. P. H. Snook, of the Rhodes, Snook & Hav-
erty Furniture Company, of Atlanta, was sent to Savannah
by the insurance companies to act as appraiser for the
insurance people. W. E. Wimpy was selected by Mr.
Teeple. They appraised the stock and agreed without
calling in the umpire on $7,000 damages for Mr. Teeple.
It is considered that with this payment and the stock re-
turned to Mr. Teeple he is now practically as well off as
ever.
Co-operation That Co-opera<es.— The annual banquet given
by Luckey, Piatt & Co., of Poughkeepsie, to their em-
ployees came off on the 9th inst After the tables were
cleared Mr. Piatt made a brief but pointed speech. He
said the business had been better than in 1896, and there
was therefore a larger share of money to divide among
those present, and he trusted that the year upon which
they were entering would show an increase of business, as
it would still add to the dividend to be paid. The firm
were well satisfied with the system inaugurated last year,
and trusted it would be continued through the years to
come. Of the checks issued last year fully a third came
back through the savings bank, showing that the money
was invested and not squandered. He trusted more would
come that way this year. Three of the employees had
purchased houses; others were looking, and others were
piling up shares in the Building and Loan Association
against the day when they also would need homes. He
fully believed the profits of the concern were due to the
intelligent and faithful co-operation of the employees, and
he trusted that the same co-operation would be continued
in the future.
MATTING IMPORTERS PROTEST.
IMPORTERS of matting and other Chinese and Japanese
goods are complaining of the tendency of some steam-
ship lines to discharge their cargoes at Brooklyn piers in-
stead of the piers on Manhattan Island. The steamer
Strathallan was unloaded at Brooklyn some weeks ago,
and several importers whose goods were aboard have
brought suit to recover the cartage charges fi'om Brooklyn
to New York. Irwin, McBride, Catherwood& Co., agents
for steamers in the Chinese and Japanese trade, have re-
cently received a protest in regard to this matter, as
follows:
Dear Sirs — We, the undersigned shippers and importers of mer-
chandise from China, Japan, &c. , arriving by steamers via Suez
Canal, hereby protest against the discharge of these steamers in
Brooklyn or elsewhere than the customary places of discharge on
the East River, in the city of New Yorli, and urge you to use your
influence to that end.
Among the signers were: Joseph Wild & Co., A. A.
Vantine & Co., E. T. Mason & Co., R. H. Macy & Co.,
Flood & Co., Delacamp & Co., John & James Dobson,
Sheppard Knapp & Co., the H. B. Claflin Company, Lin,
Fong & Co., Hadden & Co., Sperry & Beale, Fritz & La
Rue, John Wanamaker, Jordan, Marsh & Co., John H.
Pray, Sons & Co.
An old established carpet and drapery store in a large
Pennsylvania city is offered for sale in this issue. The
reasons for the sale by the present proprietor will be found
to be satisfactory.
Hirst & Roger, Philadelphia, advanced the price of
their Tapestry and Velvet carpets 2>^ cents per yard on
January 15, and their new price list will be found in this
issue of The Review. The firm's looms at their new
plant, Allegheny and Kensington avenues, Philadelphia,
are fully engaged on spring orders.
At a meeting of the creditors of Morris & McKay held
on the 5th inst. the firm offered to compromise at 50 per
cent, in five payments of 10 per cent, each, to be made in
two, four, seven, ten and twelve months from February 1.
The firm owes about $16,000. The E. S. Higgins Carpet
Company is a preferred creditor, but offers to waive its
preference if all the other creditors will agree to the
compromise offered by Morris & McKay.
A WOMAN who owned an old-fashioned couch whose stiff,
straight back resisted all efforts of imparting a luxu-
rious air to the article, called into service an upholsterer
who had the happy thought of removing the back. This
done the rest was easy. Over it he threw a couch cover
long enough to reach to the floor, spiking it in place with
fancy head tacks, and with some pillows piled upon it the
heretofore hopeless piece became a genuine delight.
A WELL-KNOWN dccorator says: " If there is lacking in
your best room the nameless distinction which you have
sought in vain, in rugs of price, in faintly toned and glim-
mering draperies, in billowy chairs and pillowy divans,
put a set of low bookshelves there. On the upper one
leave space for a bit of handsome china, a statuette, or
candlestick. Arrange your books below, and when the
bookshelves are filled, your room is no longer bare ; it is
well furnished."
Referring to his firm's importations from India, Mr.
Henry Small, of Darragh & Small, says that it is now verj^
difficult to charter sailing vessels to bring a cargo from
India to New York. Very few sailing vessels are being
built, while steamships are constantly increasing in num-
ber and are closely competing with the old fleet of sailers.
For many years his firm has brought its products of coir
fibre, yarns and Calcutta matting from India to this coun-
try in sailing vessels, but Mr. Small says that he will soon
have to resort to the use of steamers. The latter now ply
directly between India and New York, whereas heretofore
almost all steamers went first to England, necessitating
transshipping the goods to America.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Revcew,
MENDING ORIENTAL RUGS.
UG mending' is an art.
It is carried on almost
exclusively by Arme-
nians in this country.
A skilled rug mender
can put a piece in a
valuable rug of intri-
cate design and mixed
colors, so skillfully that
only an expert can de-
tect where it is. On
the other hand, an un-
skillful mender might
ruin a fine rug in trying
to mend it.
As old rugs are es-
teemed for their soft
colors, they are natur-
ally much mended,
but the patches seldom show, so well are they blended
into the body of the rug.
Not only do the rug menders put in pieces in the rugs
that come to them when occasion requires, but they put
on fresh fringes and borders, or take off old borders and
make smooth the edges, as may be required.
Rug mending is such slow work that it is not a paying
task, for a mender is sometimes at work a week on a single
spot as big as a silver dollar. He is nothing if not consci-
entious, and he bends over his work as if his thoughts were
woven in with the threads.
When the rug leaves the hands of the mender and goes
back to the drawing room or library in the owner's house, it
is fresh and beautiful, and no matter what its age, it looks
as well, if not better, than the day it was bought from
the merchant in the far East.
As in most trades, there is deception in rug mending
that the public knows nothing about. For instance, there
is the auction sale mender, whose business it is to make a
rug look as well as possible with the shortest outlay of
time.
He works as fast as he can with the threads that he is
obliged to weave in to fill up gaps, but he is not par-
ticular about the colors. These he "fixes" after the
mending is done, by means of paint. It may sound
strange to hear of painted rugs, but it is none the less a
fact that many of the rugs offered as perfect pieces by
auction are painted, and with water colors at that.
A skillful workman can make all the colors needed in a
patched rug with the aid of water colors. They are not
permanent, but that makes no difference to the man selling
the rug They will last until there is water put on them,
and that will not be for some time after the rug leaves
the shop.
A VARIED PRODUCTION OF FLOOR COVERINGS.
THE trade should bear in mind that the Hartford Carpet
Company produces more different kinds of floor
coverings than any of the other large manufacturing con-
cerns. It makes Wiltons, Brussels, Axminsters, Three-
Plys, Extra Supers, Ingrain Art Squares, chenille rugs.
Saxony carpets and Saxony hall runners. The company
is doing an increased business in its Saxony carpets, which
closely resemble the imported Oriental goods, and are
especially desirable in wearing quality. The Saxony car-
pets are woven in 27 inch breadths, and sewed together
without mitres. The weight and make of the fabric pre-
vent curling of the edges. A booklet showing several
patterns of these Saxony carpets in colors will be for-
warded by Reune Martin & Sons on application.
Besides Saxony carpets the Hartford Company makes
chenille rugs in one piece. These are exceptionally heavy
pile and fill the place of a high class single piece rug.
The new salesrooms of Reune Martin & Sons in the
Hartford Building provide means of showing the Hart-
ford Company's extensive lines to much greater ad-
vantage than in the old quarters on Worth street. The
Messrs. Martin particularly invite all visitors to call upon
them, and will afford them every comfort and convenience
for inspecting these exceptionally attractive lines.

|HE overwhelming tide of prosperity
which Mr. Dingle}^ and the daily
papers assure us is sweeping over the
country has not yet reached the uphol-
tery trade. So far as the drapery
business is concerned the era of the
cheap and nasty seems likely to be pro-
longed indefinitely. Dollar wheat ap-
parently means dollar draperies. There
has never been a time when the de-
mand tor "something cheap" has
been so pronounced as it is to-day. Quality and style
seem to count for nothing. In almost every department
of the business the constant cry is for something cheaper.
The ninety-and-nine cent store appears to have set the
pace, and the very best houses are, as the late Senor De
Lome would express it, catering to the rabble. Buyers
who, even under the stress of such a year as '94, were wont
to regard value rather than price now go " shopping" in
the search for articles which make the largest show for the
least inoney. The fake advertisements of the department
stores are of coiirse responsible in great measure for this
condition of affairs. But the evil carries the remedy with
it. After a woman has for the second or third time
bought a curtain " at less than one-half the actual cost of
production " and has seen it melt away in the laundry, she
will come to the conclusion that buying starch at $2 a
pound is not economy in the ordinary sense of that much
abused term.
The Klondike craze has not yet raised the price of In-
grain carpets, imless we except those manufacturers
who, as they did in what Senator Conkling described as
the "halcyon and vociferous days" of the war, make
blankets of gray yarn on Ingrain looms. But the Klon-
dike craze is bringing shekels to the coffers of Joseph
Wild & Co. They are not selling large amounts of Ori-
ental rugs to the citizens of Dawson City, but the Far
West trade has learned that the Klondike outfit can be
bought of Joseph Wild & Co. at about a quarter of the
price charged at the borders of Alaska. Mr. Collins has
sleeping bags, and they are 7 feet long, and include a
woolen blanket and one of those india-rubber covers dear
to every American soldier heart from '61 to '65, at $18 net.
A coat of Japanese wool, a pair of trousers and a hood big
enough to cover a duck shooting hut at Berresford's Bay
can be bought at a price ranging from $11.50 to $21.50,
which certainly ought to be cheap enough for two months'
lodging — the ground being free.
Come idea of the extent to which the demand for cheap
things has grown can be formed from a letter which
was received by a prominent importing house the other
day. The writer asked in the calmest and most matter of
fact manner to have expressed to him samples of a " well
covered" Irish point curtain at from $1.25 to $1.50.
Just how much covering he expected for $1.25 in an
almost absolutely hand-made fabric he did not state.
W/hen the Astoria Hotel was to be furnished the orders
given to Mr. Dawson, of Arnold, Constable & Co. ,
were to avoid any possible appearance of cheapness or
substitution. Heretofore the grand establishments of the
world had put Brussels curtains in the windows of the first
and second floors and Nottingham imitations above. To
avoid -even the slightest possibility of such substitution,
Mr. Dawson simply decided to put Renaissance curtains
in the windows of every one of the sixteen floors of the
hotel ; and to-day there is not a Brussels curtain in any
window of the most palatial hotel the world has ever seen.
IVIr. a. S. P.\GE, Sr., of the Minetto Shade Cloth Company,
pertinently says that one essential needed in the
window shade trade, and which would doubtless aid in
restoring prices, is mutual confidence and friendship.
The benefits of these conditions are evident in other

branches of trade, and could also l)e obtained by the win-
dow shade manufacturers. Speaking for himself and his
associates, he said that they liave no anger against any
other concern, but, on the other hand, they have sought
and continue to desire the utmost degree of friendshi]-)
with all (.•oncerns engaged in the same business.
I E.ADiNG retail dealers in upholstery goods are showing
some clever things in the way of round sofa pillows.
They are made of the triangular Hags which are so much
in evidence during the inter-collegiate boating, baseball
and football season. The blue of Yale, crimson of Har-
vard, orange and black of Princeton, and red and white of
Cornell, with other more or less well-known colors, are
combined with very pleasing effects. Some of them arc
richly embroidered with " Y.," " H,," " 1\," and " C. "
poles running from centre to circumference, &c., and the
amount of elaborate handwork brings the cost in many
cases up to a very pretty penny.
In a report to the State Department W. P. Atwell,
United States commercial agent at Roubaix, France,
says that upholstery goods may be mentioned as a branch
of local industry that has suffered the least. Manufactur-
ers have produced marvelous effects in cotton upholstery
goods that resembles silk so closely that it is difficult to
distinguish the dilTcrence. Threads of metal can be used
in this class of goods and produce the most brilliant re-
sults. The comparative failure of the year 18li7 in-
sjiircs the French manufacturer with the determination to
place goods of such excellent qiuility on the market that
the coming year shall retrieve his losses.

THE DUTY ON SCOTCH HOLLANDS.
n^iiE question of the classification of Scotch hollands
came up before the Board of General Appraisers on
•ind inst., in the ease of the Pinney, Casse & Lackey Com-
pany against the collector of New York. In the Dingley
tarill:' there is a provision for cotton cloths that are filled
or coated, and the Government claims that hollands, being-
treated with starch and otherwise manipulated, are duti-
able as filled or coated goods at 3 cents a yard and 30
per cent ad valorem.
The importers contend that the threads of Scotch hol-
land in its finished state can be counted, and that it is
therefore entitled to entry as "countable cotton cloth"
at 4") per cent, ad valorem.
The decision of the Board of Appraisers has not yet
been rendered.
The very fine line of upholstery and drapery cords
shown by the Hensel Silk Manufacturing Company is
being appreciated by the trade with liberal orders, as is
also their large assortment of curtain edgings.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
Arbuckle. — John Arbuckle, who has been the representative of
Stewart, Moir & Muir in this city, sailed for home on the Teutonic
February 9. He may hereafter travel for the house in South
America, and perhaps go to Canada, in which event he will be
again seen in New York on his way to visit the blue noses, and will
be a welcome guest among the men who, if the^' cannot buy of him,
will always give him a hearty greeting. When he goes through
here he will bear the tag " Not made in Germany," and will not be
held for San Jose scale, trichina, influenza or zinc poison. His ac-
count goes to Thos. Wilson & Co.
Berry. — C. M. Berry, buyer for the Brooks-Tyler Dry Goods
Company, of St. Johnsbury, Vt., that bought out the E. & T. Fair-
banks Company about a year ago, was in town last week buying
goods for his firm. He is a careful and discriminating buyer.
Bradbury. — George T. Bradbury, who has been very ill for many
weeks past at Liberty, N. Y., is considerably improved, and is able
to be around again and take a hand in running the town.
BuRBRiDGE. — Charles T. Burbridge, formerly Chicago representa-
tive of Arnold, Constable & Co.'s upholstery department, is now with
Arnold B. Heine & Co., and will cover Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, &c.
Callahan. — J. J. Callahan, upholstery buyer for James A. Hearn
& Son, and concededly one of the most accomplished and popular
gentlemen in the city trade, was around early last week after a ten
days' painful though not dangerous illness.
Dawson. — After a few linishing touches shall have been put upon
the Waldorf-Astoria, Edwin Dawson, manager of Arnold, Constable
& Co.'s upholstery department, will sail for Europe, probably about
the last of this month. When he gets on the other side he can enjoy
the reflection that no other man has ever had the opportunity or has
so magnificently improved it to show what could be done in the
drapery art. Nothing in the world has ever equaled his work in
the Astoria.
Earle. — H. A. Earle has returned from his first road trip for
J. B. Ryer, Son & Co, , and besides covering his old route when with
Mills & Gibb, he traveled over territory covered by him several years
ago and received a warm welcome and a goodly share of orders.
Feelev. — James Feeley, of Brooks & Feeley, finds the walking very
fine these foggy mornings between City Island and New York city.
The New York and New Haven road is altogether to slow for Jim.
Frank.— Jo Frank, of the Jo Frank Tapestry Company, is carry-
ing the line of bamboo novelties made by the Stickley & Simonds
Company, of Syracuse.
Grosshardt. — H. Grosshardt, formerly upholstery buyer for
Smith, Murray & Co., Bridgeport, is now with the Chauncey Tapestry
Company.
Hayward. — W. T. Hayward, president of the Jay C. Wemple
Company, returned recently to New York after spending ten days
at the company's branch store in Chicago.
Hargraves. — John Hargraves, from his seat at his desk in the
front of J. B. Ryer, Son & Co.'s store, at 453 Broadway, keeps a
sharp eye on the buyers who visit that neighborhood, and besides
he is active in looking up all out-of-town visitors.
Hees. — W. R. Hees, of Hees, Macfarlane & Co., the Detroit shade
manufacturers, has been recently elected a director of the Columbia
Shade Cloth Company.
Hill. — H. A. Hill, recently with Gimbel Brothers, of Philadelphia,
is now in charge of the upholstery department of Kaufman
Brothers, of Pittsburg,
Jordan. — Chandler Jordan, buyer for the upholstery department
of Jordan, Marsh & Co., Boston, returned a few days since from a
two months' tour abroad after novelties and choice staple goods.
Keane. — Miss Margaret Keane, upholstery buyer for the Tobey
Furniture Company, Chicago, was, as she always is, a welcome
visitor in New York last week. Some day there will be a domestic
manufacturer with brains enough to make it an object to Miss Keane
to come to this town and become selling agent for his product.
Keegan. — Thomas, Keegan, formerly second man in the uphol-
stery department of F. M, Brown & Co., New Haven, Conn., succeeds
Mr. Laflin as manager.
Laflin. — James Laflin, formerly upholstery buyer for F. M.
Brown & Co., New Haven. Conn., now holds a similar position with
Malley Neely & Co. in the same town.
Magee — Gibson. — Frank Magee, upholstery buyer for Simpson,
Crawford & Simpson, was married at Jersey City Heights, on Feb-
ruary 9, to Miss Daisy Gibson, M, J. Downey, of George Lackey's
staff, was best man. Mr. and Mrs. Magee left the same evening for
a brief trip to Washington, Among the guests were James Brooks,
Walter Magee, William and Geo, Lackey, P. D. Crimmins, of Stern
Brothers: Garrett Nagle, of B. Altman & Co., and James White,
Joseph Murphy, Robert Johnston, John Edwards and M. McCormack,
of Simpson, Crawford & Simpson.
McLaren. — Peter McLaren is home from his Western trip for
Rieser & Co., which extended to Omaha. He did a satisfactory
business and reports an excellent feeling among the trade.
Naumann. — A. Naumann, of the A. Naumann, Pulfrich Company,
arrived in New York on the St. Louis on the 13th inst. from his trip
to Europe,
Rice. — Jerome Rice, who vifas assistant to Mr. Suydam at Emory,
Bird, Thayer & Co.'s, Kan.sas City, goes with that gentleman to the
Robert Keith Furniture and Carpet Company.
Sh.innon. — M. J. Shannon, of J. A. Brittain & Co., "Next, Mike;
no cards."
Swift. — Charles Swift, formerly of Umbstaetter, Russell & Swift,
is now with W. B. Quaintance.
Wasserman — Dahlman. — Miss Flora Dahlman was married on
the 19th ult. to Benjamin Wasserman, secretary and one of the
founders of the Philadelphia Tapestry Mills. The marriage took
place in the assembly hall of the Mercantile Club, Philadelphia, which
was superbly decorated for the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Wasserman
held a reception in the evening, at which there were over 200 guests.
Williams. — Walter Williams, of the Howe & Rogers Company,
Rochester, the Berry Wall of the upholstery trade, was in town
week before last getting forward his stock so that he could take a
brief vacation before the opening of spring business. Chairman
Dingley's statement that there had not been a silk hat imported
into the United States for twelve years started him home in haste.
It will be a bad quarter of an hour for the hatter who has been right
along selling him "the last thing from Lunnon, you know, Mr,
Williams."
Wright, — W. H. Wright, the upholstery buyer for the Howland
Dry Goods Company, Bridgeport, Conn., is now general superin-
tendent of the establishment.
F, H. Lapsley & Brother have issued the following cir-
cular to the trade :
Baltimore,, February 13, 1808,
Gentlemen — As you are doubtless aware, our firm was dissolved
by the death of our Mr. Frank H. Lapsley on the 8th day of Feb
ruary.
The business will be continued, under the old firm name, by our
Mr. William E. Lapsley, who is the sole legatee of his deceased
brother. F. H. Lapsley & Brother.

NEW FORMS FOR FURNITURE.
THE little double writing table shown on this page is
intended for a lady's use, and would probably be-
come popular, as most ladies have felt the inconvenience
of having only one writing table in the room, and that oc-
cupied! It should be made just large enough to accom-
modate two persons comfortably, but the centre part must
not be raised so high as to form a complete barrier, as the
table would probably be used occasionally by a lady and
her secretary or housekeeper while arranging their work
or accounts together, when they would require to see and
chirruping to her favorite. But German birdcage stands
are heavy pieces of furniture, taking up so much room
that they would not be tolerated in any country less de-
voted to feathered pets. The passion for keeping birds is
a regular mania in Germany, and few indeed are the
houses without one or more — indeed, it is a matter for re-
flection whether the absence of cats in that country is
cause or effect.
Now a cage ought to be hung in the window, for birds
depend on light and air qiiite as much as we do ; so the
cage table must be small and slight, to take up little space
at the side of an oriel window. Our first sketch is designed
communicate with each other. All the double writing
tables which have been previously made have been of a
cumbersome description, intended either for office use or
as fixtures on the great Atlantic liners.
The material for this table ought to be as dainty as its
shape, though mahogany could be employed, with the
scroll design inlaid in satinwood, and the writing side
covered with blue or brown morocco. Its entire construc-
tion in satinwood would be more expensive, but the table
would gain greatly in beauty. The design was really in-
tended to be carried out in pale blue gray stain, with in-
laid copper ornamentation. Though green stain has be-
come common everywhere, the artistic variation in blue is
little known.
The wooden cup attached to the side of the table holds a
copper lamp for use in the evening, though floral decora-
tion could be substituted in the daytime. The lamp might
be made a fixture, and the cup omitted, or a drooping
floral electrolier fastened to the woodwork.
With the stain blue the morocco for the writing slide
might be gray in tone, or even copper colored.
Wooden birdcage stands are popular in Germany, and it
is a common sight in that country to see the old haus-frau
seated, with her work on the little table below the cage,
with that idea, and the table would hardly be more in the
way than a cage alone.
The construction is both simple and inexpensive, but if
considered too plain, it could be rendered more attractive
by a painted wreath of flowers up the stem, after the style
of a Sheraton lamp
stand. The wood
might be mahogany
or common deal en-
ameled white, but
for a drawing room
a very pretty effect
could be brought
about by gilding the
entire stand. The
flowers are merely
placed in loose cir-
cular glasses, btit
they add a touch
of color and bright-
ness to the whole.

Chinese effect should be studied and sustained in every
particular, for if an ordinary round cage were substituted
for the pagoda the effect would be disastrous. Tiny pots
of ferns could ornament the lower stand as well as the up-
per, and the cage must be fastened in the centre so that
the seeds Master Dicky scatters will be caught among the
flowers. Green stain with a brass cage would be most
suitable for this arrangement, as it is not so well adapted
to mahogany as the centre one of the group. This is of
heavier and more substantial make, and may be called the
dining room or parlor birdcage stand. It will recommend
itself to the practical and tidy housekeeper, as the larger
table top will more efficaciously prevent the seeds from
being scattered all about, and the little drawer is designed
for their safe custody. The support from which the cage
is suspended could be raised still higher if the lower part
were desired more as a work table, for all these designs are
intended to be modified or improved upon as circum-
stances may direct.
In changing furnishings from one house to another or
from one room to another, curtains will often be found
not to fit the new windows and to be too short or too long.
If they are too long the remedy is, of course, simple. When
they are of plain or figured goods, without a fringe or bor-
der on the lower edge they may be turned up and hemmed
at the right length ; when they have a bottom decoration
they must be turned down at the top to the necessary
depth. If they are too short, however, more work is re-
quired in order to rectify the fault. When they are of
heavy stuff, like brocade, lampas, brocatel, velvet, damask,
chenille, satin or raw silk, the addition of a band of tapes-
try at the bottom and up the inside edge will give the nec-
essary length, and will have no aspect of being an after-
thought or a makeshift. Real tapestry is, of course, very
costly, but there are plenty of imitation tapestry fabrics
which answer the purpose satisfactorily. Tapestry is rec-
ommended because it goes well with anything, and may
be obtained in all combinations of color.
I T is strange that the mirror should, in many countries, be
looked upon as " unlucky," but so it is. An expert in
matters of folk lore tells us that if we have the misfortune
to behold the new moon first reflected in a looking glass
disaster is sure to overtake us. If you have a friend who
is dear to you, see that you never glance at your reflections
in the mirror side by side, lest your friendship be brought
to an untimely end. The Swedish girl carefully avoids
looking at herself in the mirror by candle light, for if she
will do so she will certainly lose her lover. Everj'one
knows that it is very unlucky for a bride to see her own
image in the mirror after her toilet is completed. Should
she, by any evil chance, catch a glimpse of herself under
these circumstances she will, if she be discreet, turn away
immediately and seek to appease the angry fates by draw-
ing on her gloves, or fastening some bit of ribbon, a
flower or a jewel in her dress. By thus adding a final
touch to her toilet she may be fortunate enough to turn
away the evil which threatened her destiny.
AN EMBROIDERED CURTAIN.
THE pleasing curtain illustrated herewith is one of the
recent achievements of the Chiswick Art Workers,
Guild, of London. It is of tolerably easy workmanship,
is satisfactory in all its details, and simple in execution.
There is considerable variety in the pattern. At the
bottom is a deep border showing a flowing but conventional
floral design, bounded by a lattice band on top and a finish
giving some indication of scallops at the bottom. Up
each side runs a border corresponding with certain details
of the band below, but embroidered more simply.
At the top of the curtain is a valance which turns over
the pole and is ornamented with an extremely rich design
which appears to be an amplification of the one carried along
the bottom edge
of the curtain. ,^j|
The field is or-
namented with
a simple pow-
dering of small
sprays. There
are but two
colorings, one
shade of each,
used through-
out. The back-
ground is soft
linen, without
any suspicion
of " dress," of
a full tone of
china blue, and
the embroidery
is carried out
solely with one
shade of flame-
colored filoselle,
four strands
of this being
taken together
in the coarser
details of the design and two strands in other places.
The stitches are so deftly managed that, until the curtain
is minutely inspected, it would be thought that more than
one shade had been employed. For instance, in the bold,
star-like flowers near the bottom. Oriental plait stitch is
used for the filling in of the details, and as this brings
the stitches so closely together that the ground is almost
entirely hidden, a darker shade of the flame color would
appear to have been used. The same remark applies to
the bolder details of the turn-over portion at the top of
the hanging. The minor items of the pattern are exe-
cuted with what many people will understand as " stroke "
stitches, and which are so embroidered as to be very
irregular, and yet do not show so much silk on the right
side as do the "long and short" stitches in general use.
The lower margin of the turn-over is finished with a
knotted fringe raveled out of the linen, into which some
threads of the flame colored filoselle have been introduced
in order to carry out the blending of ths two colors so
successfully managed in the other portions of the hanging.

NEW ADDITIONS TO
THE COLUMBIA SHADE CLOTH COMPANY.
THE important position held by the Columbia Shade
Cloth Company as distributers of window shades is
further strengthened by the Western Shade Cloth Com-
pany becoming a
member of that or-
ganization. From
February 15, the en-
tire product of the
Western Company
will be distributed
solely through the
Columbia Company
from their various
salesrooms through-
out the country, and
also by their travel-
ers. The Colum-
bia Company have
also rented the
factory recently occupied by the American Shade Com-
pany, of St. Louis, and will operate its plant of seventy
frames on hand-made shade cloths. In November last,
the firm of Hees, Macfarlane & Co., of Detroit, be-
came a member of the Columbia Company, so that within
the past two months the Columbia Company has obtained
control of the product of three large hand-made shade
cloth establishments, located in Detroit, Chicago and St.
Louis. These acquisitions not only give them an immense
product of hand-made
goods, comprising a
large proportion of the
hand-made production
of the United States,
but through the loca-
tions of the factories
in such central points,
the Columbia Com-
pany enjoy exceptional
advantages for
promptly completing
and shipping orders.
Hees, Macfarlane
& Co. have one of
the best equipped shade cloth factories in the country
located at Detroit, Mich. , and have been remarkably suc-
cessful in building up within a short time a very large
business, and the goods they manufacture are of fine
quality and deservedly popular. The Western Shade
Cloth Company have a large factory in Chicago at Peoria
and Fulton streets, and were established about a year ago
by Wm. Volker, of Kansas City ; A. Abele, formerly with
C. Schotte ; S. Kempner, who had been with another
shade house in Chicago for several years, and J. Yandall,
formerly superintendent of the C. Schotte Company. It is
the only hand-made shade cloth factory catering to the
trade exclusively in Chicago, and the company has built
up an extensive Western trade, extending to the Pacific
Coast.
The Columbia Company are now sole selling agents

A very acceptable
feature of the Colum-
bia Company is that
the brands of each
of the concerns for
which it is agent are
shown in separate
lines of samples, so
that the customers of
each concern can ob-
tain their favorite
make of goods and be
assured of the same
qualities they have
been receiving in
the past. The con-
cerns represented by
the Columbia are actual manufacturers direct from the
raw material of every kind and grade of shade cloths,
hollands, fringes and rollers.
The Columbia Company is also a large handler of
Scotch and Lonsdale hollands, so that it can supply every-
thing needed in window

THE HOME OF WHITELAW REID.
N a picturesque woodland ridge a few miles
be3-ond the historic town of White Plains,
N. Y. , stands one of the most beautiful
as well as one of the most notable houses
in the country. It is a house with a most
interesting history, the home of Mr. White-
law Raid, ex- Minister from the United
States to France and editor of the New
York Tribune. The house is ap-
proached by a long driveway through
beautiful grounds, and ihe first glimpse
gives the visitor the impression that
he is no longer in America, but in
some foreign land, at the threshold of a
magnificent castle of olden times. The
place is known as Ophir Farms, a
name bestowed upon it by the late Benja-
min Halliday, its first owner, in remembrance of Ophir
Mine, which transformed him from the owner of a small
mail stage line across the plains, to a millionaire. The
dwelling is an enormous edifice of gray stone, with a bat-
tlemented tower.
Beautiful as is the exterior view of the house, one must
enter to appreciate all its magnificence. The main hall of
the house is done entirely in marble. From the floor
to the frieze glistens the beautiful stone. Two varieties
alone are used — yellow Numidian marble and pinkish
Etowah marble from Georgia. The frieze around the hall
is decorated with exquisite roses and other flowers. At
the left as one enters is an enormous fireplace of yellow
Numidian marble and translucent glass. Here throughout
the winter blazes a cheery log fire. The staircase is at the
further end of the hall, and is in itself a superb creation.
The steps are of the pink marble, as is also the handrail,
while the posts are of the Numidian marble. The columns
supporting the staircase are 12 feet high, and are mono-
lithic. The pilasters are of the yellow marble.
Enormous rugs of Persian design cover the floor, and
screens and tropical palms are to be found on every side.
Opposite the fireplace stands a large French clock of the
time of Louis Quatorze. The furniture is all in subdued
colors.
An idea of the enormous size of the hall may be gained
when it is known that the length is 73 feet and the width
23 feet. At the top of the staircase is a large stained glass
window, the work of Lathrop. It is 15 feet wide and is
made in three sections.
The library is one of the most interesting rooms in the
house. In the centre stands a mammoth desk of English
oak. It is 18 feet long by 12 feet wide. The mantel at
the side of the room is constructed entirely from red
Numidian marble. A man 6 feet high can stand in the

Frank H. Lapsley.
Frank H. Lapsley, of the firm of F. H. Lapsley &
Brother, wholesale dealers in window shades, oil cloths,
&c., Baltimore, Md., died on the 8th inst. , at Summit,
N. J., at the age of forty-seven years.
Mr. Lapsley was the elder son of the late John Lapsley,
who was for many years selling agent for the floor
oil-cloth manufacturing firm of D. Powers & Sons.
Frank and his brother, William E. Lapsley, were sales-
men for D. Powers & Sons, and this firm dealt in window
shades as well as floor oil cloths as selling agents for A.
Barricklo, and subsequently for the Manhattan Shade
Cloth Company. In 1887 Frank Lapsley bought out the
window shade business of William Barricklo, at Baltimore,
and continued it under his own name. A few years later
his brother William became a partner in the business, the
firm name being changed to the present one of F. H.
Lapsley & Brother.
By their energy and ability the Messrs. Lapsley built up
a large and prosperous business, but a few years ago Frank
Lapsley's health declined, and as the symptoms indicated
lung trouble he left Baltimore, hoping that a change of
climate might be beneficial. He spent some time in Col-
orado, visited Mexico, passed several months in the
Adirondacks, and finally was removed to Summit, N. J.,
where after lingering several months he passed away.
His home was in Baltimore, where he lived with his sister,
aunt and brother. When he was taken to Summit his
sister and aunt joined him there and remained with him
until he died. The remains were interred at Cypress Hills
Cemetery, Brooklyn.
Mr. Lapsley was a member of Concordia Lodge and the
Commonwealth Club, and an officer in the Fifth Mary-
land Regiment.
inst. of paralysis of the heart. He leaves a widow, son
and a daughter.
George Bronson Sterling, vice-president of the Whit-
comb Metallic Bedstead Company, Derby, Conn., died
suddenly on January 26. He was manager of the com-
pany's New York store, but lived in Bridgeport with his
parents, his wife having died five years ago. About a
week previous to his death upon returning from business
he complained of a slight cold, which developed into bron-
chitis. This turned into an acute attack of congestion of
the lungs, which caused his death. He was a member for
several years of the South Congregational Church, Bridge-
port, and then transferred his connection to the Broadway
Tabernacle, of New York. He had for the past two years
superintended the infant department of the Sunday school
of the South Church. Two daughters survive him.

Broadway, this city, died in Newark, N. J., on the 9th
Adair & Plahte, upholsterers, are a new firm at Salina,
Cal.
John Oughton, designer for upholstery and drapery
fabrics, chenille and Jacquard work, is well and favorably
known among manufacturers of such goods. His studio
is at 2122 Germantown avenue, Philadelphia.
One of the most amusing cuts yet shown by W. T.
Smith & Son in their announcements in The Review is
displayed in this issue. It is entitled " In the Stocks,"
and affords contrasting examples of facial and pedal ex-
pressions. As usual, the firm points to a moral in con-
nection with the illustration.
Despite the immense quantity of upholstery fabrics
made in the past by the Philadelphia Tapestry Mills, it
has been announced that the house will quite excel itself
for the spring of 1898. The line is now open for inspec-
tion and it is indeed strong in style and up-to-date fabrics.
It seems incredible that such fabrics can be made for the
low prices asked for them.
John Shepard, Jr., has secured the corner store for-
merly occupied by the H. W. Ladd Company, at Provi-
dence, R. I., and which was held by an option by the
Scotch Syndicate, Mr. Callender, the surviving member of
the house of Callender, McAuslan & Troup, assenting to
and assisting in the transfer of the lease.
A new hanging that is especially effective in dining
rooms, libraries and halls is stamped burlaps. It comes
in most artistic designs and colors, usually the dull shades
of tapestry, and is proving a most popular decoration. It
is an outgrowth of the wide use, for the same purpose, of
the plain burlaps, whose soft tones and dull finish give a
most pleasing effect.
A trick for treating cheesecloth in a way to make it look
like crepon is worth noting, if only for use in tableaux.
If it is put in water until soaked through, and then
twisted by two persons, each in the opposite direction, and
put away to dry, when done and shaken out it will beauti-
fully crinkle, and will be especially effective for a tableau
dress or for draping booths and stalls at a bazaar.

THE " Velvet- Ruff" portiere, 'bTonght out by tte Hensel
Sili MannfactTumg- Company last month, is the latest
novelty in cord portieres. It has a spiral chenille cord in
two colors aronnd the vertical cord, -which gives a hezry

partment, ^ys:
A liriei esajninaxioa of the
espons to the UinteQ States
froin the consnlar District of St.
Gall (S-witzexlsnd) develops
some interesting facts. St. Gall
is the most imponsni cotton
lace and cotton embroidery centre
in the world. The city has a
population of only 88,000, and a
large majority of them are en-
gaged in and dependent xrpon the
work of prodndng corton laces
and cotton emnrcdderies. During
the year ended Decemoer 81,
1897, The importers in the "United

the "handsome snm of sum of
$5,500,000, of winch smoHnt afaoi:-
90 per cent, was for cotton laces
and cotton enmrcaderies. This
demonstrates how imporant '^ " = ^—
this thriving industry is to _ ., _
Switzerland.
Another interesting fact is de-
veloped hy an examiiziatian of the exports frol-i tlie consnlar dis-
trict of St. GaU to the TTnited States, viz., that this district fur-
nishes <3vs conntry with aoont one-third of tiie total amonnt of
goods sent from Switzerland to the "United States, and the generous
inSnx of American money here is heltong to transform the quaint
old town into an active, nnodem city, adorned wdth many hand-
some imsiness blocks and some costly and attractive villas. The
total exports to the "United States from Switzerland for the month
of December last was $1,418,436, while the exports from the district
of St. GaU alone amomited to 5659, 657. or nearly one-half the total
exports.
During the last six months of 1896 the total exports to the "United
States from St. Gall amounted to §2,697,181 : while in the six months
ending December 81, 1897, the amonnt was 82.907,956. Thus, in

and not how good, it is somewhat of a relief to see the
annotmcement of a firm like that of the Stewart Hartshorn

they guarantee their product to be of the finest materials

gether with their splendidly

They were the inventors
and are now sole producers
of "the famous Hartshorn

has greatly increased the

trade have learned that they represent important lines and
show a big assortment of curtains, covers and piece goods
at right prices. Their New York salesroom at 458 Broad-
way has been visited by a large portion of the buyers, and
the Chicago salesroom has increased its sales largely this
season. At the New York office W. E. Rosenthal is look-
ing for a number of visiting buyers during the rest of this
month.
HAIR FOR MATTRESSES, ETC.
rHE first quality of hair is horse hair, and comes chiefly
from South America from wild horses. Only the tails
and manes are used, and the owners of the horses wind the
hair up in coils every two years. Oftentimes a horse will
have escaped the round-ups for four or five seasons and
will come in with a tail 10 feet long. The hair of South
American wild animals is longer than the hair of animals
of almost any other section. This hair is worth from 38
to 48 cents a pound in the rope according to length. It is
twisted into ropes which gives it the curl, and in that way
shipped to the mattress makers. Hair over 16 inches
long is used for making hair cloth, such as was put in fur-
niture in our grandfathers' days; that is worth from $4 to
$6 a pound.
Second quality of hair is a mixture of cattle hair and
the short hair of the horse. The cheapest is goat hair,
from Siberia, which is 4 to 6 cents a pound.
Clark Brockway, formerly with Gimbel Brothers, Phil-
adelphia, is now in charge of the furniture department of
Kaufman Brothers, Pittsburg.
The new mills of T. I. Birkin & Co., at Chester, Pa.,
are completed, and, as stated in The Review of February
1, the removal of machines from Philadelphia to the new
factory has commenced. In the construction and arrange-
ment of the new mills Birkin & Co. have had the advan-
tage of long experience in manufacturing lace curtains in
Nottingham and Glasgow, so that every known improve-
ment has been adopted . A particular advantage at Ches-
ter is a natural spring of pure water for use in bleaching.
The increase in the number of machines will give a greater
variety of grades and weaves, which, with the finer grade
curtains made in the Nottingham factories, supply a
range unsurpassed for strength, novelty and value.
These goods are sold through J. A. Brittain & Co., sole
United States agents.

barrassing.

fortably settled in their very desirable quarters, where
they have the best possible facilities for showing their ex-
tensive stock of upholstery goods, curtains and couch
covers. The Messrs. Solomon have always presented in
their lines exceptional attractions to the trade, and their
present offerings are even more important and interesting
than in any previous season.

"&
Facts About Hartshorn Shade Rollers.
The product of our factories includes Sliade Rollers of every
description, made of wood and tin, suitable for all classes of
work, and many famous Hartshorn accessories.
The cost of these Rollers is slightly higher than any others on
the market.
The quality of these Rollers is so high as to be far beyond
the reach of real competition.
The reputation of these Rollers is of such strength as to insure
success to any merchant in the window shade line who sells
them exclusively.
The demand for them is universal, and so heavy as to keep
our great factories running constantly.
These are some of the reasons that our Rollers are found to=day in whatever part of the
world a window shade is hung.

John H. Pray, Sons & Co.
Wholesale and Commission Carpets,
^BOSTON, MASS.^
We offer to the Trade our usual standard lines of Carpetings for the Spring of '98.
As we were large purchasers of merchandise before the recent sharp advances, we are in
position to quote, in all cases, the lowest market price, and in some cases offer inducements
that mills and commission houses will not meet.
Our private patterns, especially in Wiltons and Brussels, are not surpassed either in
variety of design or novelty in coloring.
If we, with our private patterns and colorings, have been able to secure some of the
largest contracts given in this country, would it not PAY YOU to have our patterns represented
in your stock.

producing a long lasting, hard wearing fabric.
SMALL ORDERS PREFERRED. We want small
sample orders, feeling sure we will retain the business
of firms who try our goods.
ONE STORE ONLY. We shall confine our goods to one
first-class house in each town. The advantages of
this policy are apparent to every live merchant.
PRICE. We offer Keystone High-pile 3-shoot Velvets at
the price of ordinary 2-shoot goods.

PHILADELPHIA, February 15, 1898.
To Buyers of Upholstery Fabrics:
Our new Spring line of Tapestry Table and Couch Covers, Piece Goods and
Curtains will attest more strongly than ever the permanency of our position as
leaders in this line of goods. Every effort has been made to surpass all pre-
vious records, and the many novelties and improvements we have succeeded in pro-
ducing bear evidence of the superiority of the product of our mills.
Our goods show all that is latest in fabric and style, and are put on the
market at figures that commend them to buyers of fine, medium and popular priced
goods .
Our entire line has a reputation to maintain. It has passed into something
of a trade saying that our productions are par excel lence-- the best of the kind
--an aserabling of the newest and most desirable ideas. We are taking care that
its good name and fame shall not suffer through any remissness of ours. We are
making and showing a line that we know will interest you.
Our new productions prove us to be, as we have been,
LEADERS
in the manufacture of popular priced Upholstery Goods.

MODERN UPHOLSTERIES.
It is evident that buyers are becoming more convinced every season that it
does not pay to purchase foreign made Upholstery and Drapery Fabrics
when they can buy American made goods of equal quality and superior
• styles at considerably less money, That our productions for the
SPRING OF 1898
will substantiate the correctness of this 'assertion
we leave to the judgment of the Trade and invite the most careful
comparison between them and imported fabrics.

ILLUSTRATING the high consideration these popular goods hold in the estimation of the most
experienced importers of shade goods in the country, the attention of the trade is invited to
the above opinions, published in the columns of this and other journals, over the signatures
of the respective firms.
Enterprising but unscrupulous parties unable to reach the exalted standard of these celebrated goods,
pay them the flattery of imitating the wrappings. It is the Goods, not the wrappings, the
trade is after. See that Bands, Tickets and Tabs of every piece are marked

The Tile Carpet
Carpets are soft and restful to the feet, non-
slippery, noiseless ; they are also germ col-
lectors, disease breeders, poor wearers. Mosaic
or any hard tile is suffiv.iently sanitary and
durable, but slippery, noisy, foot tiring, easily
sep.iratf d, easily cracked. If we could add
to carpet the good qualities of tile — make it
waterproof, disease-proof, wear-proof — we would
have a flooring practically perfect. That's
just what Interlocking Rubber Tile is— A
Perfect Floor. So easy to
to lay, too — goes right down
over any old floor. Manufac-

Carpets, Rugs
And Hangings.
Important Announcement.
ITH a view of further enlarging my business by securing a certain class
of buyers I have decided to take IMPORT ORDERS from responsible
houses on the basis of a small commission, with the understanding
that if on inspection in New York the goods do not prove satisfactory, the firm
giving such order will not be obliged to take same.
Under this most favorable arrangement there can be no risk whatever to the
buyer, but there are certainly superior advantages considering the state of the
Turkish and Persian markets and the peculiar nature of the goods.
My entire attention has been exclusively given to the IMPORTATION and
WHOLESALING OF ORIENTAL RUGS and CARPETS for the PAST SIX-
TEEN YEARS. During the last ten years my importations have been, by far, the
largest ; in some years equaling the combined importations of the next largest three
importers. Last year my importations ran several hundred bales ahead of those
of any one other importing firm. My resident representatives, both in Constantinople
and Smyrna, sell nearly ^^ percent, of all the exported Rugs and Carpets from those
two principal cities.
I shall continue to keep, as usual, THE LARGEST and BEST ASSORTED
STOCK at my stores. 343 Broadway and j6 Leonard Street. New York, and
in bond. The very best facilities enjoyed by me for securing goods, combined with
the smallest expenses, have, admittedly, satisfied my patrons and placed me
beyond competition.

7^- CARPETS. {^
The Carpets made by this Company have received the highest award wherever exhibited,
including Gold Medals at the Paris Exposition, 1878, and at the Centennial, 1876.
Their deserved reputation for excellence of fabric, richness and durability of color, novelty and
beauty of design, has led to frequent infringements, and inferior goods have often been palmed off
in their stead. For the protection of the public the Company has adopted as a trade mark the word
" BIGELOW," which will be woven (at every repeat of the pattern) in white capitals into the back
of the fabric. Customers will therefore have merely to examine the back of a carpet to be certain
that they are getting the genuine Bigelow goods.
THESE GOODS CAN BE HAD FROM ALL FIRST-CLASS DEALERS.

I^^Our readers are urged to remember that we are
always desirous to receive communications of interest to
the carpet or upholster}- trades, such ab changes in firms
or managers, the building or opening of new stores,
improvements in old ones, the adding of new departments,
improved methods of doing business, new inventions, sug-
gestions as to the cutting, making and laying of carpets,
the designing and fitting of draperies, or inquiries and
dissertations relating to the technical or commercial details
of the trades to which this periodical is devoted.
THE TRADE SITUATION.
" I 'he business of the past fortnight has been as active as
' is generally expected at this period of the year, when
first orders have been placed and the retail trade has not
yet become large enough to call for duplicate orders. But
the number of general buyers in town at present is much
greater than usual, and there is little doubt that the carpet
trade will get a fair share of the business resulting.
Prices of carpeting are maintained, and the straw mat-
ting market is especially firm, with a rising tendency.
A PROPOSED COMBINATION.
THE third attempt to form a combination of carpet man.
ufacturers to control the production, sale and price
of their goods is now being made.
The proposed plan comprises the organization of a
central company, that shall buy all its wool direct, spin
all its wool, worsted and cotton in its own mills, and em-
ploy its own force of salesmen, who will deal directly with
the retail trade, and sell goods on sixty days' time, thus
saving commission houses' and jobbers' percentage of
profits. The production of carpeting will of course be
regulated by demand, and if it be necessary to maintain
a steady market some mills will be shut down. The pro-
moters desire to secure first a combination of Ingrain manu-
facturers, and their efforts are confined at present to that
branch of the carpet trade, but the plan contemplates a
union eventually of manufacturers of every kind of car-
peting.
A Review representative has had intendews with a
number of manufacturers whose headquarters are in this
city, and has found that the sentiment among them is ad-
verse to the plan.
THE BANKRUPTCY BILL IN CONGRESS.
THE House of Repre.sentatives passed on the 19th ult.
the Henderson Bankruptcy bill, reported by the
House Committee on Judiciary as a substitute for the Nel-
son bill, passed by the Senate at the extra session last
summer.
The Henderson bill provides for both voluntary and in-
voluntarj' bankruptcy. As an additional protection for
29
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
the debtor, creditors who file a petition for involuntary
bankruptcy must furnish a bond insuring the payment of
the debtor's expenses, damages, costs and counsel fees in
case the petition is dismissed. The ridiculous Nelson bill
made only fraudulent acts grounds for involuntary bank-
ruptcy, while the original Torrey bill made not only fraud-
ulent acts, but also certain others, resulting simply from
inability to meet one's obligations, sufficient reasons for
declaring a debtor to be a bankrupt. The Henderson bill,
on the other hand, throws on the creditors the burden of
proving that the debtor is actually insolvent, or in other
words, that he has not sufficient assets eventually to dis-
charge his liabilities.
The author of the Henderson bill has devised a method
of compensating the referees and trustees which will prob-
ably reduce the expenses to a minimum and make it in
the interest of these officials to secure the largest possible
dividends to the creditors and effect a speedy termination
of a bankruptcy proceeding. They are to receive as re-
muneration for their services, payable after they are ren-
dered, a small filing fee and commissions on the amounts
distributed to creditors as dividends. Furthermore, the
courts are empowered to appoint and remove the referees
in their discretion, thus making the staff of referees an
elastic body that will expand or contract in accordance
with the needs of the service.
The bill now goes into conference, Messrs. Henderson,
of Iowa ; Ray, of New York, and Terry, of Arkansas, rep-
resenting the House. The action of the Senate upon it
is of course a matter of great doubt, for the passage of the
demagogic and practically useless Nelson bill by that body
last year showed that a large proportion of its members
was not inclined to favor any really equitable bankruptcy
measure, their attitude being obviously governed by their
impression that debtors — and especially fraudulent debtors
— have more votes than creditors.

J. A. ROBERGE,
With Ives, Upham & Rand.
Mrs. Arabella Holder, wife of Frank T. Holder,
president of the Alexander Smith & Sons Carpet Com-
pany, was killed on the 25th ult. in the wreck of a train
on the Atlantic Coast Railway line, near Waycross, Ga.
The engineer did not see a burning trestle until it was too
late to stop. He then tried to dash through the flames.
The engine and baggage car went through safely. The
other cars went down and immediately caught fire. Mrs.
Holder and her husband were in the forward sleeper.
Mrs. Holder was killed, her head being crushed, and Mr.
Holder was injured, but not seriously. Mr. and Mrs.
Holder were returning from Florida, where they had been
spending a few weeks. The funeral of Mrs. Holder took
place at her late home in Yonkers, N. Y. , on the 28th ult.
THE NUSSBAUM BANKRUPTCY BILL.
A meeting of merchants was held on the 25th ult. at
280 Broadway, this city, to discuss the Nussbaum
bankruptcy bill pending in the State Senate. Senator
Nussbaum, who was present, made a few remarks in ex-
planation of the bill, and urged that merchants send in
any suggestions for its improvement.
Resolutions indorsing the bill submitted by F. N. God-
dard, of J. W. Goddard & Co., were adopted, and on a
motion of M. E. Bannon, of Converse, Stanton & Co., a
committee of twenty-five was appointed to take the bill
under consideration and to co-operate with the author in
securing its speedy enactment. Among the members of the
committee are Messrs. Henry MacKay, of Joseph Wild &
Co., and Wm. E. Tefft, of Tefft, Weller& Co. The prin-
cipal features of Senator Nussbaum's bill were mentioned
in the January 15 number of The Review.
THE STRAW MATTING MARKET.
Advices from Canton, China, regarding the matting
market are to the effect that contracts to date for the
coming season amount to about 100,000 rolls. Prices are
very firm, with an upward tendency. There are several
orders on the market unplaced, and dealers are now wait-
ing till after the Chinese new year holidays before accepting
more. If orders corae in freely and early it is thought
present high rates will be maintained.
THE IRAN COMPANY'S ORIENTAL RUGS.
As announced in The Review of February 15, The Iran
Company is a new concern which has just opened in
the importation and wholesaling of Oriental carpets and
rugs at 907 Broadway, corner of Twentieth street, New
York. The company is incorporated under New York
State laws, with H. H. Costikyan as president and L. H.
Costikyan as secretary, both of whom have had an ex-
tended experience in the Oriental rug trade in connection
with another leading New York importing house.
The Iran Company occupies a well lighted loft in the
modern building at the above address, which has excellent
elevator service and all other arrangements for the con-
venience of buyers. It has a good stock of various makes
of Orientals in small, medium and large sizes. The
Messrs. Costikyan are young, active business men, and
will doubtless meet with pronounced success in interest-
ing the trade in their goods.
The Coramercia_l Travelers' Fair opened in the Madison
Square Garden, this city, on the night of the 28th ult.
The object of the fair is to secure funds for the completion
of the Commercial Travelers' Home, now building at
Binghamton, this State.
"A striking example" is portrayed in the bulletin of
W. T. Smith & Son, the rug. Art Square and curtain
manufacturers. The firm certainly have a striking assort-
ment of goods, and are enlarging their list of customers to
a greater extent this season than ever before. There is
something in their big and varied line that every carpet
and upholstery house can use.

A new post office sub-station, to be numbered 102, will
be opened to-day — March 1 — at Tenth street and Fourth
avenue, in Wananiaker's store.
The employees of Edward Ridley & Sons gave a benefit
on February 22 at Chickering Hall in aid of their relief
fund, which proved a great success.
John Perry, a bookkeeper in the employ of W. & J.
Sloane, was killed on the night of the 22d ult. by falling
down a flight of stairs in the apartment house, 77 East
118th street.
Joseph Herrmann, carpet and furniture dealer, 156
East Twenty-third street, has leased the premises at 243
Eighth avenue for a term of three years, and opened a
branch store there, with Val. P. Thoesen as manager.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the foundation of the
American Linoleum Manufacturing Company was cele-
brated by a dinner of the stockholders one day last week.
As a sort of silver anniversary John Cartledge, the presi-
dent of the company, was presented with a superb solid
silver vase. It was of American workmanship, just as the
linoleums of the company are American in origin and re-
sults.
The first semi-annual convention of the Buyers' Associ-
ation of America was held on the 25th ult. at Hardman
Hall, this city. Martin Roman, president of the associa-
tion, made a short address of welcome, and among the
other speakers were L. M. Meyer, of Jonas Long's Sons,
Scranton, Pa., and J. H. Carey, of R. H. Macy & Co.
The present officers of the association are Martin Roman,
president; A. L. Walcott, first vice-president; C. E, Adams,
second vice-president; Leopold Lowenstein, third vice-
president; John P. Boyer, fourth vice-president; Geo. McL.
Johnson, treasurer; J. A. Kraus, secretary. The execu-
tive committee is composed of James Ferguson, chairman;
Louis M. Meyer, C. A. Smith, John B. Sheller, William
Ettlinger, Jesse H. Carey, James G. Henry, R. Perry
Hughes, Thomas P. Swift
Joseph Hynes, who became well known in the trade during
his connection with W. & J. Sloane's office department, in
which he held an important and responsible position, is now
private secretary of Commissioner McCartney, the head of
the street cleaning department. Mr. Hynes entered the de-
partment as an inspector during the regime of Commis-
sioner Waring, and later was promoted to a clerkship.
In this position his ability attracted the attention of Mr.
McCartney, and finally resulted in his appointment as
private secretary of the commissioner, at a very handsome
salary.

The Sol Heyman Company, at Fifty-ninth street and
Third avenue, honored George Washington in great style
on February 22. Mart. Kairer, the manager of the car-
pet department, had his opening, and Sig Heyman, who
is treasurer of the company and manager of the bicycle
department, painted the whole house red. In the south
window was a bank of roses, across which in blue flowers
was the legend : "Opening of Our Wheel Season, 1898."
In the north window was a tapestry picture of the Father
of his Country, and a chainless wheel filled with roses and
scintillating with electric lights. The Hungarian Band
was on hand and so was the crowd.
A large number of merchants have taken advantage
of the concessions in the shape of reduced passenger fares
obtained by the Merchants' Association from the roads
forming what is known as the Central Passenger Associa-
tion, which controls the territory west of Buffalo, Pitts-
burg and Wheeling, through to Chicago and St. Louis.
Arrangements for opening up the State of Texas and
other territory in the extreme South and Southwest have
been concluded with the Mallory Line, steamers of which
ply between this port and Galveston ; the Cromwell Line,
whose boats ply between this and New Orleans, and the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company, which connects with
the Cromwell Line, and whose lines, in its Atlantic system,
run through Texas as far as El Paso, the western boundary
of Texas, north with connections into Indian Territory,
south with connections into Mexico, and to all the principal
Gulf ports in Texas. The steamship lines agree to bring
merchants to New York from their respective ports, and
The Cartut and Utholstery Trade Review.
Ihroii^'h their respective rail or other connections on all
their sailinj;- dates during the month of March, the tickets
being sold at a reduced rate of fare.
The distribution of Ivins, Dietz & Met/.ger's products
this season by P. J. Donovan, the New York agent, forms
a very gratifying volume. The combination of so popular
a carpet man as Mr. Donovan and the I., D. & M. goods
is an attraction which few buyers can resist.
While the new tarilV has obviously restricted the sale of
Koch & te Rock's Saxony Axminster and mohair rugs,
yet F. B. Hru Baker is greatly encouraged by orders re-
ceived from lirnis who have handled the goods, and say
they must have some of them, even at the increased price.
Mr. Rru Baker shows the spring line at his office in the
Hartford Building.
S. Sanford & Sons are well satisfied with their decision
to remain at their old stand, 29 Union square. As seen in
its new decorations and fittings the showroom is a highly
artistic business home, and its cheerfulness must have a
pleasing clTect on visitors. The way a buyer is made to
feel at ease, and the iinstinted service of Manager Treloar
and the entire stafY, whether the buyer's order is big or
little or no order at all, are also not the least attractions
of these handsome carpet quarters.
At a recent meeting of the creditors of Morris & Mc-
Kay, who assigned a short time ago, it was shown that the
tirm owe about $1{!,000, $11,000 of which is owed to six
creditors, the remaining $,5,000 being divided among
thirty-six others. They olYered a compi'omise of 50 per
cent, in five payments of 10 per cent, each, to be made in
two, four, seven, ten and twelve months from February 1.
The E. S. Higgins Carpet Company, which was preferred,
agreed to waive preference and come in with the other
creditors, provided they sign the composition paper.
There is an item of $15,000 for rent due I'^ugene Higgins
and the H. B. Clatlin Company have a $;),000 claim. It
is believed that both of these will sign off and allow the
compromise to go through. If the firm succeed in arrang-
ing to continue in business it is probable that they will re-
move from the White street store.
The book of colored prints of Saxony carpets and hall
runners recently issued by the Hartford Carpet Company
is now being distributed among the trade, and its effect is
already shown in an increased business. This book is one
of the finest examples of color printing of floor coverings
ever published, and gives an excellent idea of the original
rugs. Saxony carpets are a highly popular production of
the Hartford Company, and the demand for them is
steadily increasing. They serve practically all the pur-
poses of a one-piece rug, as when the breadths are sewn
together without mitres it is difficult to distinguish the
presence of any seam. We advise the trade to become
posted on these goods, as they will find them a profitable
article to handle. An announcement referring to Saxony
cai-pets and hall runners and their sizes will be found on
page 17, and the goods may be seen at the salesrooms of
Reune Martin & Sons, Hartford Building, 41 Union square,
New York.

Boston Budget.
George J. Carter, formerly head of the upholstery de-
partment of R. H. White & Co., but now of Kansas City,
was iu Boston a few days this week.
Frank Scanlan, for some years with
Thomas O'Callaghan & Co., has left that
firm to take a position with John H. Pray, Sons & Co.
Thomas S. Gay, of Philadelphia, was in Boston over
Washington's Birthday.
V. E. Lott, buyer for Lamson Brothers, Toledo, Ohio,
has been in Boston this week.
Hugh Keveney, of T. J. Keveney & Co., was among
recent visitors to this city, and reports business good.
John H. Pray, Sons & Co. have secured the contract for
furnishing new carpets, furniture and shades for the Marine
Hospital in Chelsea.
M. J. Whittall, the Worcester manufacturer, was in Bos-
ton the other day, and stated that his mills had done a very
satisfactory business.
These are the words, in glaring 6 foot letters, which
stare at passers-by from a blank wall adjoining a now va-
cant lot, bounded on three sides by Bedford street, Chauncy
street and Avon place: "Jordan, Marsh & Co. will occupy
this new eight story building, when completed, for the
sale of carpets, rugs, upholstery and wall papers." Old
buildings occupying the site heretofore have been razed
and work on the new structure begun.
The creditors of the Bay State Carpet Company, of
Brockton, Mass., held a meeting in Boston at the ofSce of
the Lyon Furniture Agency on the 25th inst. The liabili-
ties reported were $26,732, with assets of $16,807. It
appeared that one Orville D. Lovell held a mortgage of
$16,000, and threatened to take possession and give notice
of foreclosure, but offered, if the general creditors would
assent to assign to him and W. H. Chipman, to give all an
equal chance. The creditors voted to accept his proposi-
tion. An assignment will be made and a general dividend
declared.
The collection of unique blotters is the latest fad of the
head of Joseph Wild & Co.'s felt department, and he
already has many of the rarest specimens in the world. He
recently wished to add a Chinese blotter, which the firm
has been distributing from its Boston house, and wrote to
Mr. C. W. Kayser, the manager in this city, for one. Mr.
Kayser responded immediately, and to make sure of its
safe delivery nailed it to the bottom of a sample case
weighing enough to make the express charges 45 cents,
which Robbins promptly paid. At last accounts he had
abandoned the collection of blotters, and had even foi'c-
sworn the use of blotting paper, having purchased an old-
fashioned sand-box to dry his correspondence with.

On the 11th inst. Jackson & Sexton, of Nashua, N. H.,
dealers in carpets, furniture and stoves, assigned their
stock and fixtures to John C. Randall, of John H. Pray,
Sons & Co., of Boston, and John A. Spaulding, of Nashua.
The failure was said to be due to hard times, and the em-
barrassment of several larger financial institutions of
Nashua. George E. Danforth, head clerk in the store,
was appointed agent to represent the creditors and take
charge of the business, under the assignees. A meeting
of the creditors was held in Boston February 25. when
liabilities of $32,000 were reported. The assets were
$15,000 in merchandise; $5,000 good book accounts, and
several thousand dollars of nominal value. A committee,
consisting of Messrs. P. B. Fiske, H. N. Milliken, W. W.
Corson and A. A. Lawson, was appointed to make an

ors on March 4, at the office of the Lyon Furniture

. . . .Carrington & Lyndall, 906 Callov,-hill street, are en-
larging their carpet department.
. . . .The Bromley Brothers Carpet Company are running
fully tip to their usual standard, and have all looms em-
ployed.
The general offices of the National Association of
Man-afacturers have been removed from 1743 Xorth
Fourth street to the Bourse.
. . . .Doman Brothers are not looking for any very great
rush before March 1. A good portion of their looms is
running, for present purposes.
. . . .Lawrence Collins is having a big run on his cotton
carpets, and most of his looms are in operation. The
demand seems to be active for that class of goods at the
present time.
James & George D. Bromley report an increase in
orders over last month, and have been obliged to enlarge
the number of looms in operation in order to fill their
orders promptly.
We are indebted to V. E. Archambault & Son for
the cut presented herewith representing the first floor
in their handsome and spacious store at Eleventh and
'Market streets.
John Wanamaker, who was drawn as a juror for
the February term of the United States
District Court on the 21st ult., promptly
put in an appearance, and remained in
court throughout the day in his capacity as
a juror.
Gimbel Brothers have enclosed the
counting room in the carpet department irj
a very handsome oak paneling', which adds
very much to the appearance of that part
of the room.
. Joim & James IJobson have secured
temporaiy quarters on the fourth floor of
the Harrison Building, 1003 and 1005 Fil-
bert street. Their travelers have returned
from their trips to the West, and report
trade as remarkably good in their vario-i:s
territories.

C. H. Masland & Sons have a"
their new looms for weaving their uettt
Tapestry carpels in position, and the
goods will be all ready for next season. Their various
grades of Ingrains are finding ready sale, as are also their
new weave Art Squares.
....William Henderson, Fifth street and Columbia
avenue, is having a fine run on all the goods he jjroduces,
and orders are coming in freely from all qtiarters. One
important feature of his trade is that the high grades are
in the greatest demand.
Dickey & McMaster are very busy v.'ith their granite
Ingrains, and ha-i^e all looms btLsy. Their Damask and
Venetians, the reputation of which has been so long
established, are still in high demand, and the looms are
doing their utmost to keep pace v.'ith the orders.
.Samuel White, manager of the Centennial Mills,
Front street and Columbia avenue, reports a fairly good
trade in all branches of his output, especially in Smyrna
rugs. Mr. White is of the opinion that Ingrain carpets
are selling on too close a margin to be very profitarJe.
. , . .Work has ceased for the present upon the ruins of
the store of J. & J. Dob,son on Chestnut street, and it is
generalty understood that nothing further will be done
until after the insurance has been adju.sted. In the mean-
time the store nov.' occupied b^/ the Messrs. Dob.son has
been rented, and they are looking for a suitable 'rmilding

Boggs is to occupy one of the floors in the new mill is
without foundation.

keep all their looms active. Their traveling men have
returned from their Western trips well satisfied. The
trade of these enterprising young men is constantly en-
larging, extending this season all the way to the Pacific
Coast. A comparatively new branch of their business is
the manufacture of jute Smyrna rugs, and it has proved
very successful, judging from the number of orders re-
ceived for these goods.
Thos. Caves & Sons are wining great praise for their
Keystone three-shoot Velvets Their line has been de-
signed by some of the very best artists in America and is
one of the most salable ofi^erings in a carpet which is cer-
tainly at high tide in popular favor. The price is, con-
sidering the excellence of style, color and quality, extra-
ordinarily low, and the goods will be hard fighters in the
spring trade. Messrs. Caves & Sons simply ask an ex-
amination, which can be had either at the mills. Third and

AN ARMENIAN RUG MERCHANT.
HAROUTUNE GuLBENKiAN, the youngcst member of the
well-known firm of Gulbenkian Brothers & Co., of
Constantinople, was born at Scutari, a suburb of Constan-
tinople, in 1872. After taking a preliminary course of
studies in Armenian national schools he entered Robert
College at Roomeli Hirsar in 1885 and graduated in 1889.
Then he went to Marseilles, France, where he took a
special course in the Ecole de Commerce. For some time
he was connected with the firm's branch house at Mar-
seilles known by the name of Gulbenkian & Turabian.
Returning to Constantinople he entered the main office of
the firm and displayed great energy and capacity. From
Constantinople he went
to Smyrna, where he
established a branch
house which even to-
day is known by the
name of Haroutune
Gulbenkian. He after-
ward returned to Con-
stantinople to manage
the affairs of the firm of
Gulbenkian Brothers &
Co. In 1895 he came
to America and took
charge of the business
of the firm of Gullabi
Gulbenkian & Co. dur-
ing the absence of his brother Gullabi. While in New
York he showed his ability by winning the high esteem of
all with whom he had dealings, largely extending the
business of the firm, and entering into commercial rela-
tions with prominent houses of this country. Last year
Mr. Galbenkian went to Persia to make arrangements for
establishing branches and factories for the manufacture of
Persian carpets and rugs, and a few months ago he left
Constantinople for India to establish there factories for the
manufacture of Indian carpets. Mr H. Gulbenkian,
although young in years, has had great experience in busi-
ness, is very energetic and has combined a Yankee's push
and pull with the shrewdness of an Armenian.
Our readers will remember the view of the Sphinx and
camel riders in our last issue, taken while Mr. Gulbenkian
was on his way to India.

A COMPLETE Stock of carpets is being installed in connec-
tion with the upholstery department of the H . A. Mel-
drum Company, Buffalo, N. Y. The department was
opened with upholstery and rugs last September, and has
been exceptionally successful; so much so that it was de-
cided to take in the whole third floor, 50x250 feet, and en-
large the upholstery stock and add carpets. W. S. Porter,
head of the department, has been in New York with
Charles Anderson, of the concern, during the past week
selecting the new carpet stock. Mr. Porter was with
Mandel Brothers and Siegel, Cooper & Co., Chicago,
prior to taking his pre.sent position, and was formerly with
Barnes, Hengerer & Co., of Buffalo, with whom he spent
twelve years. When ready for its spring opening in car-
pets and upholstery Mr. Porter says the house will have
one of the most attractive departments in the State,
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
Body Brussels and Wiltons.
(Continued from January 1 number.)
ODY Brussels carpeting consists of a worst-
ed yarn built upon a linen or cotton chain,
and a linen weft. The worsted warp which
forms the face of the carpet is wound on
reels or bobbins arranged on large hori-
zontal frames, which are placed one above
the other in the rear of the loom. Each
reel supplies one thread of worsted to the loom, and as
there are 260 threads in the width of a Brussels carpet
(27 inches), there are necessarily 260 reels on each frame.
The loops which appear on the face of the fabric are
made by the insertion of wires when the worsted warp has
been raised by the operation of the Jacquard. These wires
are withdrawn and inserted again at regular intervals as
the weaving proceeds. The warp from each frame is
drawn in a continuous web into the loom, and the Jacquard
attachment above the looms controls every separate strand
of the 1,000 to 1,500 which are being fed into the loom
from all the frames. Each yarn is raised into the face of
the carpet or dropped into the body according to the pat-
tern on the Jacquard.
A Brussels carpet is called 5 frame when it is woven
from five of the frames referred to, and if but four are
used it is termed a 4 frame Brussels. It is obvious that
if each of the frames is run with its full warp a 5 frame
carpet will contain 25 per cent, more wool than a 4 frame.
The number of frames used never exceeds six, and if
each contributed but a single color to the warp the greatest
number of colors possible would be six. But some body
Brussels contain as many as twenty-five or thirty colors,
this variety being obtained by "planting " warps of differ-
ent colors on the same frame. But it is evident that the
number of colors in any perfectly straight line running
lengthwise in the carpet cannot be greater than the actual
number of frames. Modifications of color lengthwise can
be obtained only by dropping the warp of one frame and
picking up the corresponding warp of another.
If a color — as, for example, blue — appears only in spots
or in small masses of any kind, and these are separated
from each other by some distance in the width of the car-
pet, it is then obvious that this color does not go all over;
but if certain colors recur constantly throughout the entire
width of the fabric, then the number of these will show
how many frames or thicknesses of worsted are in the
carpet.
In the diagram presented herewith, which represents a
ruled paper drawing of a six color 4 frame Brussels car-
pet, the diagonal lines indicate one color, the dots
another, the vertical lines another, the horizontal lines
another, the white spaces another and the black another,
while by a glance at the gammot a it will be seen that but
four thicknesses of yarns are necessary for weaving this
pattern, the yarns being of six colors. Frames 1 and 2,

counting from the top, are "planted"; that is, each of
them contains more than one color, and the first three
frames are also imperfect. Thus in the top frame one stitch
out of every ten is omitted, or twenty-six in the entire
width of 260 threads; in the next frame four are saved out
of every ten, or 104 in the width, and in the third frame
one is saved out of every ten, or twenty-six in the width.
The fourth frame alone is complete.
Wilton carpets are woven just as Brussels are, excepting
that the wires used in making Wiltons have a sharp blade
attached, and so arranged that when they are drawn out
the blades cut the loops open, and thus form a plush sur-
face. The pile of a Wilton carpet is higher than the loops
of a Brussels, about one-fourth more yarn being used for
Wiltons.
(To be continued.)
The Oakland Novelty Works is the name of a new con-
cern organized at Pontiac, Mich., to manufacture a pat-
ented door mat. It is a stock company, composed of J. S.
Stockwell, E. F. H. Pierson, Fred Durrant and Edward
Weathehead.
E. S. HiGGiNs Carpet Company has excellent reasons
for being well satisfied with the demand for its new grade
of Sultan (two-shoot) Velvets. These goods seem des-
tined to become as famous and popular in the Velvet
trade as the " Double Stars" are in the Tapestry market.
The Sultan Velvets are shown in a superb line of patterns,
comprising Oriental, floral and other fine effects, and the
line includes halls and stairs.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
BOSTON RUG COLLECTORS.
^r^ALKiNG recently about rug collectors
in Boston a dealer in that city said :
" Some of the best collections of
rugs in Boston are owned by per-
sons who do not like to have their
names in print, and therefore try
to stop all ' leaks ' in information
in regard to their collections.
•' For example, if they buy a
rug of a dealer who says : ' I sold
so and so such a rug recently,' they
keep away from him thereafter.
The dealer who promises to say
nothing about his sales in his endeavors to make other
sales will get their trade every time, and not a few make
their patronage conditional on silence. For this reason it
is difficult to get precise information about the rugs of
some of the largest collectors.
" Some of the Boston collectors make a fad of very old
rugs, while others strive to get those of very fine weave
and texture, and still others may have a penchant for rare
combinations of colors.
" One of the most valuable collections in Boston is in
the house of Mr. John E. Atkins at 306 Beacon street. He
makes a specialty of close texture Persians in silk and fine
wool weaves. His house is filled with them from the
main floor to the top. One thousand dollars for a single
specimen is not considered a high price by this collector,
it is said, and more than one of his treasures cost twice
that sum.
"Another valuable collection is that of J. Mont-
gomery Sears. Mrs. Fred. L. Ames also has a very fine
collection, and so has Eugene Van Rensselaer Thayer.
"The estate of Mrs. J. W. Clark owns one of the lead-
ing collections in the city. It is in the house at 66 Com-
monwealth avenue.
" One of the best known collections in Boston was
that of the well-known General Whittier, now of New
York, who formerly lived in the fine mansion on Beacon
street, now the home of the University Club. When his
establishment was broken up some of his rugs went at
figures that were considered low, but which were more
than $1,000 a rug, according to common report.
"One Back Bay dealer, who has a collection worth
$50,000, has one room in his house, for the contents of
which, in the way of rugs and hangings, he was offered
$11,000 by a fellow collector. He refused the offer.
" ' And it was a very small room, too,' said a friend of
this collector recently in conversation with the writer.
" The main desire of most collectors of fine rugs is to
get good specimens of silk ones."
Beatty & Co. are a new firm who will soon begin the
manufacture of Ingrains and Art Squares at Norris-
town. Pa.

VANTINE'S RUGS AND MATTINGS.
ON page 20 of this issue A. A. Vantine & Co. say some
interesting things regarding their offerings of Jap-
anese rugs and Japan and China mattings.
Their Muira-Satta rugs are the highest grade of Jap-
anese jute goods. They are made in fine Turkish and
Persian patterns, in which the choice Oriental color effects
are admirably reproduced. The line of blue and white
Japanese rugs is also worthy of especial attention. These
goods are of superior quality, and are thoroughly Japanese
in style, being made in delft blue on a white ground, or
the reverse.
In the firm's extensive lines of China and Japan mat-
tings the trade will find a wide range of both staple and
fancy styles. Samples are shown by the firm's traveling
salesmen or at the New York headquarters.

THE "TREATY OF COMMERCE" CARPET.
THE carpet shown in the cut on this page was made
many years ago to commemorate the signing of the
treaty of commerce between England and France by
Queen Victoria and Louis Napoleon. The carpet was
manufactured by or for T. Tapling, of London, England.
Our cut was made from an old engraving which was given
to us a few months ago by Mr. James W. Barker.
The carpet and upholstery department of Tootle,
Wheeler & Motter, St. Joseph, Mo., is in charge of E. H.
Lewis, who is doubtless one of the youngest carpet de-
partment managers in the country, as we should judge
that he has not yet reached his thirtieth year. He has
been in charge for the past year and a half, and during
1897 the business showed a very large increase, while the
past January footed np the largest amount of any month
since the department was started. Tootle, Wheeler &
Motter do a jobbing business in carpets and upholsteries,
covering the ground from the Mississippi River to the
Pacific Coast. Mr. Wheeler, of the firm, and Mr. Lewis
generally come East together to purchase goods.

A TRAVELING SALESMAN'S PLEA.
SALARIED VtRSUS COMMISSION SALESMEN, AND HIS ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF
THE FORMER.
T is with considerable trepi-
dation that the carpet
or upholstery salesman
observes the growings
tendency of manufactu-
rers and wholesalers to
place their samples v^rith
commission salesmen in
different parts of the
country or to engage
men to travel from the
home office solely on
commission. One of the
best carpet salesmen in
the trade brought up the subject to me recently, and said
it would be a good move for the salesmen to form an
association for protection against the inroads of the
sporadic commission man and to maintain salaries.
His argument was based on the ground that it was as
much the interest of the employer as the employee to man-
tain a force of capable salesmen, men who knew the busi-
ness thoroughly and could properly i-epresent their
employers. Said he:
"I wish you would say a few words for the traveling
salesman, who, owing to the changing methods of doing
business, is finding it difficult to obtain proper compen-
sation, and in many cases is asked to work without any
guaranteed salary. The great evil is the tendency of
manufacturers and wholesalers to give lines of samples
on commission to almost anyone who applies for them,
under the impression that all they risk is the cost of
samples, as they pay a commission only on the orders
received from these men which are shipped. The result
is that all over the country we find retail salesmen, who
have an exaggerated idea of the money made in selling at
wholesale, leaving the retail field and applying for samples
on commission. Their idea is that they can make more
money by covering certain sections from their resident
town. They have saved a few dollars, and start in to
spend them on traveling expenses, and in nine out of ten
cases they quickly dispose of their savings in this direction,
as the commissions earned do not cover their expenses.
The next result is that they stop traveling, and endeavor
to make a living out of one city and a few adjoining
towns. This is the condition which does not pay the
manufacturer any more than the commission man. The
territory given to the latter is not properly covered, and
the manufacturer loses business. It may be well enough
for the manufacturer at the start while the ambitious com-
mission man has money to spend on traveling, but when
the latter's money gives out, or when he finds it doesn't
pay to travel, the manufacturer or wholesaler isn't getting
the good deal he expected. Now, these commission men
do not, in the great majority of cases, earn a fair living,
but when they become discouraged and retire from the
field there are others who step in to try their luck ; hence
the trouble is continued.
" These inexperienced men do the manufacturers more
harm than good, and a great deal of price cutting is due
to them in this way : They have not the proper knowledge
of the goods or values, and are very easily influenced by
the statements of buyers. You'll find them taking almost
any offer and sending it in, hoping that the manufacturer
will accept it. They have no incentive to keep up prices,
as their living depends on making sales, and they naturally
will try to sell at any price or on any terms. This gives the
manufacturer great trouble in straightening out the snarls
of misunderstandings with the buyer — a thing always to be
avoided.
" I claim that it pays any manufacturer with a fair sized
plant to employ one or more salesmen on a straight
salary or a salary and commission, and it also pays to give
salesmen territory enough and time enough to sell suffi-
cient goods to earn a fair salary. Many of us regular
salesmen are given a territory to cover in four or five
weeks which no living man can properl)^ or thoroughly
cover in that time. We ought to have trips of six or eight
weeks every season instead of four or five weeks. We
could make it pay, too, if the manufacturers would stop
giving out samples to commission men in almost every
town of importance, thus restricting the efforts or oppor-
tunities of men from home offices. Of course, I refer to
the commission man who has no capital or financial
responsibility, not to the commission firms in New York,
Boston, Chicago or a few other cities, who are regular
commission merchants and employ travelers. The carpet
and upholstery salaried salesmen will have to stir them-
selves and agitate doing away with commission salesmen,
or else they will have to be content with a reduced scale
of living, for the salary now offered a good salesman when
he applies for a new position is ridiculously low.
" I contend that good men can get better prices than
incompetent ones, and can therefore earn a fair salary.
There are two or three or more salesmen to-day where
there ought only to be one, and this is mainly due to
the indiscriminate placing of samples with commission
men."
THE SMYRNA RUG TRADE.
THE M. A. Furbush & Son Machine Company, Phila-
delphia, inform us that they have just filled orders
for Smyrna rug looms of the latest improved pattern for
the Fries-Breslin Company, Camden, N. J., and McCleary,
Wallin & Crouse, Amsterdam, N. Y., and duplicate orders
have also been received from both of these concerns.
We have had occasion to comment recently on the
activity in the Smyrna rug trade, and such reports as the
foregoing show that the revival in this branch of the floor
covering industry is being well maintained.
Senator Ford recently introduced in the New York
State Senate a bill at the instance of the Rev. Madison C.
Peters, which is designed to protect persons who buy
goods on the instalment plan from seizure and sale of
goods upon which the)'- have paid some mone}'. In look-
ing up the law Senator Ford found that there was plenty
of protection, but that many poor people were ignorant of
it. The remedy suggested is a bill that provides that
there shall be printed upon each contract the provisions,
and unless such provisions are printed the vender shall
not be allowed to resell the goods.
Curvent Carpet Cbat,
OR many weeks the interior of
the Van Dyk Furniture
Company's five story build-
ing at 298 and 300 Main
street, Paterson, N. J., has
been practically in the pos-
session of carpenters, ma-
sons and other artisans.
Walls have been removed,
rows of iron girders replac-
ing them, and for a time it
was a question where the
hand of improvement would
stop. However, there came
an end at last, and now this
big establishment, whose showrooms were always attract-
ive, appears as large again as formerly and doubly at-
tractive. Especially is this so of the lower or store floor,
which has been thrown into one vast showroom. On the
second floor one room, 25x190 feet, is taken up with the
display of floor coverings. The bright light obtained in
this spacious room makes the selection of carpets all the
more satisfactory. The whole five floors have been im-
proved and restocked.
George Murison, Portage, Wis., has added carpets to

trade. Mr. Scott's stores on North Howard and Gay
streets will be kept open as usual.
Arbuthnot, Stephenson & Co., Pittsburg, Pa., are suc-
ceeded by the Arbuthnot-Stephenson Company, with a
paid up capital of $500,000. The officers of the new com-
pany are made up of the old firm, with J. G. Stephenson

has been presented to the Exposition people by W. I.
Kierstead, special furniture commissioner.
Howe & Le Van have succeeded the firm of Ransom &
Co. at Lockport, N. Y. Mr. Howe was the partner of

also in a store at Tonawanda and another at Niagara Falls,
but is said to intend to dispose of these interests and con-
fine his energies entirely to the Lockport store.
The "Ark," at the corner of Main and Ninth streets.
Riverside, Cal. , has been established about ten years.
H. L. Miller, the present proprietor, bought the business
in '91. Up to a year ago the store was conducted under
the firm name of Zimmerman & Miller. The store meas-
ures 35x160, and is completely stocked with household
goods, carpets, &c.

cers for the first year are as follows: J. M. Cardwell,
president; A. P. Cardwell, vice-president; G. G. Fuchs,
treasurer; John Kiefer, secretary.
Kauffman & Harley's carpet mill at Mifflintown, Pa.,
was burned on Februarys, entailing a lossof about $3,500,
two-thirds of which is covered by insurance. The blaze
was started by something exploding in a heating stove,
throwing a hot coal on a pile of jute. The factory was
crowded with orders. The insurance has been adjusted,
and the firm is hard at work endeavoring to reconstruct
the factory. We understand that the insurance on the
buildings, $600, was allowed in full and $950 on the pol-
icies for $1,600 on the stock. The factory will soon again
be in full blast .
The work of remodeling the building occupied by Pol-
lins. Keck & Pollins, the well-known dealers in dry
goods, carpets, curtains, &c., will soon be commenced,
and when complete will give them one of the finest look-
ing business houses in Greensburg, Pa. A splendid new
front will be put in the building, and the room now occu-
pied by L. Keck & Co. as a shoe store will be converted
into a furniture emporium by Pollins, Keck & Pollins.
Their stock of furniture will be complete, and include
every grade and article in that line of business. They

Among the many business establishments in Evansville,
Ind., which are noted for their complete and handsome
stocks none takes a higher place in the estimation of the
public than Cummings & Clark. Their store is located
corner of Main and Madison streets, and is filled with a
carefully selected stock — dry goods, carpets, wall paper,
&c. The business was established about ten years ago
imder its present name by C. E. Cummings and W. J.
Clark, both of whom had been previously identified with
the dry goods trade of Janesville for many years.
Adam J. Wild, who has been in the carpet and furni-
ture business in McKeesport, Pa., for many years, has
closed a deal with the Michigan Furniture Company, of
Pittsburg, whereby Mr. Wild disposes of his entire stock
to the Michigan Furniture Company. The new firm will
assume charge of Mr. Wild's business on March 1, and will
buy all stock left after February 28. Mr. Wild has been
engaged as manager for the new firm, and business will be
conducted at the old stand, 411 Walnut street. Mr. Wild
was compelled to dispose of his business because he was
unable to re-lease from the owners of the building, and
could not get a suitable building in McKeesport in which
to conduct his business. The Michigan Furniture Com-
pany has a mammoth establishment in Pittsburg and a
branch store in Braddock. The McKeesport store will
make three establishments operated by the Michigan Fur-
niture Company.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
THE KINGSTON SELF-ADJUSTING FASTENER.
DURING the past ten years there have been many at-
tempts made to arrive at a practical solution of a fas-
tener for rugs, carpets, druggets, &c., something to re-
place the carpet tack and the pin and socket, both of which
were very unsatisfactory as fasteners for carpets and rugs
which had to be removed at short intervals. The pin and
socket were not acceptable from the fact that they could
not be used on hard wood floors without injury to the floor;
also there was a serious objection to this fastener in that it
required the punching of a hole in the carpet or rug on
which it was used.
James L. Kingston about seven years ago invented what
was known as the "Kingston Invisible Rug Fastener,"
which seemed at the
time to possess all that
was required in a fas-
tener. He, however,
each year made im-
provements on this
original fastener, yet
up to recently always
found something want-
ing in his and all other
fasteners. He has recently placed on the market his latest
invention, and it has already received the indorsement of
many well-known carpet men ; in fact, everyone who has
seen it speaks most highly of it, and by it have been over-
come all the objections to previous fasteners. This new
self-adjusting fastener is for sale by the Kingston Rug
Fastener Company, 564 Washington street, Boston, Mass.,
at the following prices: Five gross lots, $6 per gross;
one gross, $7, or 75 cents per sample dozen.
The title which the inventor has given to his latest
device is the " Kingston Self- Adjusting Fastener. " The
''Improved Invisible Fastener" is also for sale by this
company in five gross lots at $4.50 per gross; one gross,
$5; 50 cents per dozen.
There is no fastener on the market at the present time,
outside of the " Kingston Self- Adjusting Fastener," which
does not by its presence underneath cause the carpet or
rug to wear out in the particular spot in which it is placed.
The cap on this fastener resists all wear, and moreover is
ornamental to the rug. The " Kingston Self- Adjusting
Fastener" requires no sewing, as do all others. Carpet
dealers ought to congratulate themselves that through the
untiring efforts of Mr. Kingston such a long felt want has
been so perfectly satisfied.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review :
If straws show which way the wind blows, or if coming events
cast their shadows before, then one would be led to believe that
universal woman suflfrage was a thing of the near future. Judging
from the great number of delegates from all parts of the country
now in attendance at the Congress of Women Suffragists, I assure
you they are a magnificent aggregation of the beautiful and brainy
element of the female persuasion, and it makes one proud to know
his mother was a woman and prouder to see the progress the noble
women of this country are making in all departments of life and to
see them getting where they justly belong in all matters pertaining
to civil government.
Long may they wave. D. A. Childs.
CLEANING SHEEPSKIN RUGS.
■ HEEPSKiN rugs, when snowy
and clean, are decorative,
but when soiled are a pos-
itive eyesore. They must
not be washed in a tub as an
ordinary rug, for they are
ruined if the skin side is
wet ; for this reason tack the
rug upon the side of a
barrel, and (unless your sink
is very large) it will be nec-
essary to do the work upon the porch or down cellar,
where the drippings will cause no damage. Have a pail
of warm water, a package of pearline and a stiff scrubbing
brush at hand; sprinkle pearline over the wool, dip your
brush and scrub it vigorously, going over the whole sur-
face until the dirt has been thoroughly loosened, after
which pour on several pailfuls of clear warm water, using
the brush at the same time, until the wool is thoroughly
rinsed.
Use a clean currycomb while it is drying, and when
it is dry the rug will be snowy and fluffy.. Remove the
tacks, and the rear side will be found perfectly dry, the
convex surface of the barrel causing all the water to shed.
Of course, care should be used that the mat be whipped
free from dust and all rips mended beforehand.
A SON of the Emerald Isle, walking up Broadway, New

IMPORTANT DEPARTURE IN
SELLING ORIENTAL RUGS.
ON the colored sheet opposite page 9 will be found an
announcement from H. S. Tavshanjian of special
importance to buyers of Oriental rugs and carpets. Mr.
Tavshanjian announces that he is now prepared to take
import orders from responsible houses, by which goods
will be brought out directly for the buyer, and Mr. Tav-
shanjian's compensation will be obtained through a small
commission on the order. Another attractive feature
which buyers should bear in mind is that these import
orders will be taken on the understanding that if on in-
spection of the goods upon their arrival in New York they
do not prove satisfactory the buyer will not be obliged to
receive them. As Mr. Tavshanjian states in his announce-
ment, this is a most favorable arrangement, as it gives the
buyer the advantage of obtaining goods at import order
prices and of subsequently viewing the goods before
receiving them.
Buyers who have heretofore purchased goods from Mr.
Tavshanjian will realize that this offer, made by such a
reliable and responsible house, is one that demands their
immediate and close attention. Mr. Tavshanjian has been
importing and wholesaling Orienial rugs for the past
sixteen years, and in his announcement he claims that for
the past ten years he has been the largest importer of these
goods. He also states that his connections in Constanti-
nople and Smyrna sell the major part of the rugs exported
from these two cities.
This offer regarding import orders will not interfere in
any way with Mr. Tavshanjian's regular stock business, as
he will continue to carry at his warehouses, 343 Broadway
■and 76 Leonard street, New York, his usual large assort-
ment of all kinds of rugs and carpets. He points to the
fact that his facilities for securing goods, and minimum ex-
penses enable him to quote the lowest inside prices. Goods
which have remained from the importations under the old
tariff are still quoted at old tariff prices. Oriental rug
buyers should carefully read Mr. Tavshanjian's bulletin in
this number.

THE WHITTALL-LOWELL INFRINGEMENT SUIT.
'he United 'States Circuit Cotirt of
Appeals in BostCn Wi February 18
l-,an(^e;d down a decision in the
suit of Maiihew J. Whittall i: the
Lowell Manufactufiflf Coinpany.
The Circuit Court some ti'ffle ago
gav€ a decision in Mr. WhiLtall's
favor^ sustaining Mr. Whittall's
design patent to John B. O'Neil,
No. 24,031, enjoining the Lowell
Company from further mantifac-
ture, and decreeing that the total profit made by the
Lowell Company from its infringement should be paid to
Mr. Whittall, and referring the case to a master to take an
account thereof.
The case was taken by the Lowell Company to the
Court of Appeals, and the decree of the Circuit Court has
just been affirmed. In passing upon the case the Colirt
said: " An examination of this case leads us to the same
conclusion as that reached by the court below, and we do
not feel called upon to add anj'thing to the reasoning of
that court in explanation of its decision.
"The fact that the Lowell Company's artist or designer,
when creating the infringing design, had before him a
pattern embodying the complainant's patented design, and
that his work resulted in so close an imitation, is upon the
most charitable view strongly suggestive of the idea that
the purpose was to appropriate the attractive features and
effect of the complainant's pattern."
Louis W. Southgate, of Worcester, was Mr. Whittall's
counsel in the case, and the Lowell Company were repre-
sented by Alan D. Kenyon, Robert N. Kenyon and Will-
iam C. Witter, of New York.
THE WORCESTER CARPET COMPANY.
THERE is no Wilton and Brussels manufacturing con-
cern in the trade which is more fully marketing its
production than the Worcester Carpet Company. They
turn out novel and original styles, and the values given in
quality are unsurpassed, hence dealers find Worcester
Brussels and Wiltons very live stock. The company are
now preparing to place on the market a line of Wilton
rugs in all popular sizes, which will have the same at-
tractive features that have made their carpets so popular.

SANFORD'S AXMINSTER RUGS.
The Axminster rugs made by S. Sanford & Sons are
coming out in new patterns constantly, and the out-
put is being increased to meet the demand. Thus far the
only size offered is 27x54 inches, but it is probable that
other sizes may be produced ere long. Dealers should not
miss getting acquainted with the Messrs. Sanford's rugs.
They will stand the same close inspection as do the firm's
celebrated carpets.

THE SHOW WINDOW.
riGURE 1 is a plan of a locomotive, which can be easily-
built with strips of pine and trimmed with carpet
and upholstery fabrics. First purchase about 80 feet of
J^ inch pine, lyi inches wide and planed. Cut out cross
pieces a about 7 feet long, or according to the space
afiforded in the window ; then nail on pieces b, finishing
the top with c. The form e is then attached and a
board nailed at
/. The stack
c is also a piece
of pine board
capped as
shown. An-
other piece of
the board goes
on at h. Strips
may now be
tacked on at i
for a c o w-
catcher and the cylinder shaped by fastening on two pieces
J J with a space between for k. The piece k must be loose
as it will be moved back and forth when the wheels of the
engine turn. A cleat on either side will keep the piece
parallel and in place. A stand (sf is now made and nailed
on the bottom cross piece between the drive wheels where
it serves to keep the frame up and the
wheels clear from the floor of the show
window. Next the wheels are put on.
The drive wheels require a hub of wood
which can be obtained at any wood-
working establishment, and pieces of a
broom handle will do for axles. Barrel
hoops will answer for the rims, and four
sticks set into holes bored into the hubs
and nailed to the rims will serve for J. _^^, j'
spokes. The axles of these wheels should I'^jZl
run in double cleats. That is, a wood
cleat should be nailed to either side of
the lower cross piece of the frame at the
point where the wheel axle comes. Then
bore a hole through both cleats for the
axle and a substantial bearing is obtained. The rear axle
is provided with a little grooved wheel in which cord h
runs, and this cord should be operated by some motive
power in the store. A hand crank, electric motor or home
made water motor will furnish power. The wheels must
now be connected by a wood rod /, and with the piece k in
the cylinder by the wood rod m. Next the front wheels
are put on. As these do not turn, they may consist of
circular disks of thin wood, or almost anything The
frame is now
completely cov-
ered with paste-
board. The
board can be
tacked onto the
wood, and the
board cut to the
shape desired
for effect with a
Tic 2
sharp knife. This gives the engine the appearance shown
in Fig^. A bell can be hung as shown, and a regular
steam whistle attached. White cotton batting makes a
good imitation of smoke and steam. The engine is now
ready for the trimmer. Carpet and upholstery textures
may be utilized for decoration according to the tastes of
the trimmer. When all is complete, the drive wheels can
be kept revolving and the affair present a realistic appear-
ance from the street. The mechanical movement of a toy
ship in repre-
sentation
of the swell
of the waves
in a show
window can
be simply
procured on
the plan
shown in Fig.
3 in which a
section of
stich an ar-
rangement is presented. A small wood bracket a is screwed
to the window floor, and another wood bracket b is pivoted
to this and fastened to the bottom of the ship. This
balances the ship and in order to give it the motion of the
sea, a connection is made with the wheel d by means of the
rod c. The wheel d turns on a pin in the
stand e. The cord /runs in a groove in
the wheel, and the former is caused to
operate slowly by means of either hand
crank or motor in the store. The imita-
tion of water is a green cloth, which
covers the window floor and is tacked to
the ships sides as shown at g, g. The
ship, therefore, carries the cloth with it
as it rises and falls, making a good rep-
resentation of sea-swells.
A man who has a little ingenuity can
make a snow scene for his window, that
will closely represent a real snow storm.
It is customary to tie bits of white cotton
to dark strings and arrange these parallel
with the window to make a snow scene. This is very
good, but as the flakes remain still always, the effect is lost.
The object of the device shown in Fig 4 is to give motion
to the flakes, making it appear as if the snow were falling.
First cut out two pieces of pine like a. The height should
be to the top of window, with a sharp chisel mortise at
b, b deep enough to receive pieces d, d. Nail a couple of
pieces of wood c, c over the recesses thus made to keep the
pieces d, d in place. The stand piece a should be provided
with a foot piece e, and the
latter screwed to the floor
of window. The sketch
shows but one half of the
device. Next the pieces
d, d are put in and strung
with flaked cords just as a
Tegular window is now fitted
with cords thus prepared.
The mechanism for raising

and lowering the mass of cords is now made, and con-
sists of the top brace piece /, to which is pivoted the
lever £-. The latter can be bought of any bell hanger.
A grooved wheel, /, is put on the bracket /i and run by the
cordy. A connecting stick of wood, X', links the wheel with
the lever^, and a cord, /, extends from the opposite arm of
the lever, over a wheel made of a spool and is attached to
the corded frame at w/. A like cord makes a similar con-
nection at the other end . The wheel z is revolved and
causes the corded affair to rise and fall several inches, and
the bits of cotton on the cords appear like falling snow.
The mechanism and framework is of course hidden from
view by vi^indow trimmings.
Fig. 5 is a cheap motor calculated for operating window
mechanism where other power is not available. Make a
water-tight box, and put in it a shaft made of a water or
gas pipe for the wood hub a. The shaft should extend
through holes cut in the box sides and should be provided
with a pulley for driving purposes. Arms, ^, are wood,
about 8 inches long, and to each are fastened tin cups by
means of screws. The water force is let in from a hose
pipe nozzle at d and waste water goes out at e. The force
of the water will turn the wheel and the power thus de-
rived may be transmitted to the window effects by means
of cords.
WILTON CARPET FOR GUN SWABS.
OLD subscribers will
remember the
many articles
which have
appeared i n
The Review
regarding the
use of carpet-
ing other than
for floor covering. Taken altogether a great quantity of
carpeting in the form of remnants, samples, cuttings and
even whole pieces is consumed for car seats, lounges,
horse blankets, slippers, blackboard erasers and other pur-
poses, including gun swabs. One manufacturer has had a
contract from the United States Government for several
years for manufacturing these gun swabs, and we learn
that it amounts to a larger item annually than one would
imagine. They are made of the finest Wilton woven in
the shape and size to fit the swabs. The Government has
found the thick high pile of Wilton to be the most effec-
tive cleanser for our big or little guns. We haven't yet
heard of an extra requisition being made on the carpet
mill which supplies these swabs, but we venture to say
that if necessary the manufacturer in question will volun-
tarily cancel all his orders for floor coverings and turn his
looms solely on gun swab Wiltons. If we must fight
Spain the carpet trade can therefore produce war material
as well as supply men and money for the cause.
Herbert Plimpton, whose convalescence after an attack
of typhoid fever was noted in our isstie of the loth ult., is

FACTS ABOUT ORIENTALS.
THE COLLECTING AND SALE OF RUGS FOR EVPORT.
RECENT number of the New
York Times contained an in-
teresting article on Oriental
rugs, which was written by
F. James Gibson, of the staff
of A. A. Vantine & Co., the
w e 1 1-k n ow n importers of
Oriental goods. In the course
of his article Mr. Gibson re-
ma r k s : "'Oriental rug
weavers have in an unexampled degree the faculty of com-
bining various colorings. They can take any of the
primary colors and produce from them the most wonder-
fully artistic combinations and effects. But, after all, Old
Father Time is the best rug artist among the Orientals, as
elsewhere. After a lapse of many years the colors, which,
perhaps, when the rug was first made Were somewhat
crude, take upon themselves an extraordinary richness and
mellowness of tone which cannot be imitated.
" The Orientals have also the habit of washing their
rugs at least once a year. This is done by placing them
over a rope in a running stream, where they are left about
twenty-four hours. The rugs are then exposed to the sun to
be dried. This has the effect of helping to soften and
mellow the colors and give them that indescribable gloss
and polish which most antique Oriental rugs possess.
"Oriental rugs are made to last. With proper care
they are practically indestructible. Of course our mode
of using rugs is different from the Eastern custom. In
the East a rug is never trodden on with shoes. In coming
into a temple, mosque, or private house the people remove
their shoes. Besides this, no article of furniture is ever
placed on a rug. But even with hard usage an Oriental rug
will last from ten to a hundred years. As just stated,
when properly taken care of, there is no limit to its dur-
ability. A friend of the writer of this article has seen
rugs in use in the Eastern mosques which have a well
authenticated pedigree, dating from the fifteenth century.
He also knows of a certain small prayer rug in a mosque
in Pergamos, in Asia Minor, which actually was on the
floor of the mosque for over 300 years, and its present con-
dition is perfect. It has a turquoise blue centre with a
magnificent cream border in arabesque design. The size
is only about 4 by 6 feet, yet $400 has been offered and re-
fused for it. This particular rug has been stolen three
times from the mosque, and three times it has been re-
captured by the mosque authorities before it got out of the
country.
" A very curiotis and interesting Eastern rug is the one
known as Dandoor, erroneously called, in this country,
Trinaclia. A very beautiful specimen of this rug, shown
to the writer recently, has the customary four divisions —
one for the host and his family to sit on, and one each on
either side for the guests, while the centre division is for
the .serving of refreshments. This is a custom that pre-
vails in Persia and all through the Caucasus.
" Originally the rugs are purchased from the weavers
by wandering buyers, who get one here and another there,
and so on. When one of these small dealers has accumu-
lated ten, twelve, or fifteen rugs he brings them to the
chief village of the district and sells them to an agent
there, who in his turn sells them to the big rug dealers in
Tiflis or one of the other large cities in that part of the
country. From there the rugs usually find their way to
the great rug bazars in Constantinople, from whence they
are distributed to all parts of the world.
" The operation of buying Oriental rugs is very tedious,
as well as interesting. It generally takes from three to
four days to finish a bargain. After many cups of coffee
and tea and cigarettes are consumed and many a quarrel
between seller, buyer and broker, finally the bargain is
concluded, when all parties concerned shake hands, as a
finality. It is the custom for the buyer to immediately
remove his rugs after purchasing them for fear of stealing
or substitution being practiced. To the Oriental mind the
Occidental custom of having one price for a thing and
sticking to it is incomprehensible. It is usualljr the cus-
tom for the seller to ask from five to ten times as much as
he is willing to sell the goods for. The buyer, knowing
this peculiarity, offers for the goods much less than he is
willing to finally pay. It is through this game of give
and take that the price is actually agreed upon, after a
great deal of dickering.
" The goods are always sold in bale lots, and a bale
usually consists of from ten to seventy rugs, according to
their size and quality. In one of these bale lots there may
be a number of very valuable rugs, as well as many others
of comparatively poor quality. A selection is never al-
lowed; the buyer must take all the bale or none."
CHICAGO CARPET NOTES.
Mark Heniy is enlarging his rug department. Monday
he will open with a new stock of Orientals, which will fill
^. , the entire first floor of Schlesinger &
Chicago, ^
Mayer's Wabash avenue building.
■ The John York Company, dealers in dry
goods and carpets, at 773 to 781 Halsted street, and the
largest dealers on the southwest side of the city, have as-
signed to Isaac G. Loeber. Assets are quoted at $100,000,
with liabilities at $1-^5,000. The cause of the failure is said
to have been the fire which destroyed the firm's build-
ing five years ago, and from which they have never
recovered.
John Hollywood, manager of Siegel, Cooper & Co.'s
wholesale carpet department, will open his new Oriental
rug department to the public Monday.
There are many members of the National Association of
Merchants and Travelers in the city now, and more are
expected to attend the February meeting.
The new time payment house which will occupy the old
Casino Building in Wabash avenue, opposite the Wellington
Hotel, will open its doors to the public March 1. The
style of the new hoiise is the L. Hartman Furniture and
Carpet Company.
Considerable interest is being manifested as to' who is to
have the northeast corner building at State and Madison
streets, to be vacated this week by Wilde, the clothier. It
adjoins Mandel Brothers, and that firm has been known to
have had its eyes on the building for some years. The
rumor is gaining credence that they will occupy the build-
ing at once.

AROUND AND ABOUT.
I INDER the title of "Lost in a Crowd," John S. Grey,
^ in " The Little Schoolmaster," argued that the great
quantity of advertising in the leading magazines detracts
from the pulling power of each ad. To this F. James
Gibson, the accomplished advertising manager of A. A.
Vantine & Co., replies:
If Mr. Grey's theory is right, it means that the Century Magazine,
the Ladies' Home Journal and the New York Herald would be
better advertising mediums than they are if they were each to
publish only one advertisement in each issue. Instead of being
better they would be almost useless, as any practical advertising man
knows.
If Mr. Grey were to advertise for a domestic servant, he would
probably use the Herald, or the World, or the Journal, because these
are the publications into which domestic servants in want of situa-
tions would be most likely to look for the advertisements of those
who want domestic servants. Mr. Grey would not worry himself in
the least over the fact that the paper to contain his advertisement
would probably have several hundred other advertisements of other
people who also want domestic servants. Why should he ? What
he evidently regards as a weakness is really strength.
If Mr. Grey were to start a big department store, I am pretty sure
he would not place it in Forty-second street. But why not, if his
theory is correct ? If I were to start such a store I would want it
right in the midst of other stores of the same kind. And so would
ninety-nine out of every hundred business men. In the same way
an advertisement will be more effective if placed among other
advertisements of the same or similar lines of goods, rather than in
an isolated position.
THE Judiciary Committee of the NewYork State Senate
has reported favorably a substitute for Senator
Guy's bill to prevent fraudulent advertising, which it is
said has the support of the New York Credit Men's Asso-
ciation and the Merchants
and Manufacturers' Board
of Trade. It provides that
any firm, person, corpora-
tion or association of per-
sons, or any employee of
such or any of such, who in
the newspapers or other
periodicals of the State, or in
public advertisements or in
communications intended for
a large number of persons,
knowingly makes or dissemi-
nates any statements or as-
sertion of facts with respect to his, its or their business
affairs, concerning the quantity, the quality, the value,
the price, the method of production or manufacture, or
the fixing of the price of merchandise or professional
work, or the manner or source of purchase of such mer-
chandise, or the possession of awards, prizes or distinc-
tions for the motive or purpose of a sale, intended to
have the appearance of an advantageous offer, which is or
are untrue or calculated to mislead, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor. Possibly the Credit Men's Association
know where they are at, but we venture the opinion that
the law will never pass the scrutiny of the courts. Why not
pass a law imposing a penalty on all liars, including mem-
bers of the Legislature ?

'TAKING A DAY OFF."— PUCK.
NEW AND EXTENSIVE ORIENTAL RUG HOUSE.
A& M. Karagheusian, whose entrance into the Orien-
• tal rug business has been announced in previous
issues of The Review, are now ready to receive the trade
at their new salesrooms, 365 and 367 Broadway, this city.
Mr. Jinishian, who has been in the trade for many years,
during which time he has been connected with well-known
houses, has charge of this department of their business.
A & M. Karagheusian have been doing a general banking
and exporting business and have decided to enlarge their
operations by adding Oriental rugs. They will keep a big
stock of all sorts of Oriental rugs and carpets, and will
make it a point to show selected goods and avoid having
the ordinary left-over lots which are often forced on the
market. Another feature of the business will be moderate
prices Owing to their connections in Turkey, Persia and
the Caucasus, they are able to secure lots direct from the
first sources, saving all expense of middle dealers in Con-
stantinople, and we venture to say that their success is
assured.
They are opening for the spring season a choice lot of
Iran rugs, and show also a very desirable assortment of
antique carpets, which are so hard to get just now. Also
superb antique Shirvans and large lots of Guenges, Kara-
baghs and Bokharas, large and small The offerings in-
clude also an exceedingly rare lot of Afghans, and they
state that such Afghans as they are putting on the market
have never been seen in this trade. They are very proud
of having secured the lot with so many looking for them.
The offerings will be very strong in Turkish, Persian and
India carpets in all sizes and colorings, as special agencies
have been established in the districts where these goods
are made.
The Messrs. Karagheusian have an especially well lighted
and spacious loft for displaying their new goods. They
occupy an entire floor in the building at 365 and 367 Broad-
way, on the northwest corner of Franklin street, and first
callers this week will have the opportunity of making
choice selections, as the goods have just been opened.
The firm have been in existence in Constantinople for half
a century, and stand high in commercial and banking
circles, facts which naturally give them great advantages
in their rug and carpet business.
Ed. Dreyfus & Co., dealers in dry goods, &c., Fort
Worth, Tex. , were recently burned out.
GOSHEN SWEEPERS.
THE Goshen Sweeper Company, in an advertisement in
this issue, invite attention to their line of sweepers.
The illustration of their " Majestic " will attract buyers
Who are looking for a sweeper with excellent and effective
action at moderate price. They manufacture cam action
and broom action sweepers in great variety, and guarantee
every sweeper turned out by them and bearing the name
Goshen. Write to their office in Grand Rapids, Mich., for
prices.
Albert Graff & Co., importers of straw inattings, 609
Chestnut street, Philadelphia, are now offering an excep-
tionally extensive and desirable line, cotnprising China
and Japan mattings personally selected and bought in the
matting districts of those countries by Mr. Graff, of the
firm. These goods will be sold at close prices for cash,
and samples and prices will be submitted on application.

^, HE past two weeks in the general
upholstery market have not kept the
promise of the earlier part of the
month. There have been many
buyers in town, but the volume
of trade has hardly been up to the
mark. Domestic makers of lace
curtains continue to be away behind
in their orders, and the retail busi-
ness of the spring will be well under way before they can
catch up. Foreign makers are sending in goods with
reasonable promptness, which is probably due to the fact
that import orders were placed last fall with a good deal
of conservatism.
The renaissance of the chenille has apparently come.
Buyers who have steadily declined for a long time to
handle these goods except in the smallest quantities
possible have begun to order them with considerable free-
dom. Travelers who on their way westward hardly
opened the trunks containing chenille samples were com-
pelled to show them daily on the return trip. The demand
appears to be greatest in the medium and better grades of
all over effects. In dadoes, fringes and plain goods there
is little change.
It is a matter of open comment m the trade that one of
the largest manufacturers of lace curtain goods is about
to send to the Pacific Slope his New York representative,
with a view to exploit his product among the cash retail
concerns in that section.
\|0TTiNGH.A.M advices report that good orders are on hand
for lace curtains, window blinds, &c., and some of
the finishing firms are kept pretty well employed, but the
local curtain machinery. is not fully engaged. The plain
net trade remains in a healthy condition. Considerable
quantities of bobbinets suitable for embroidering are
Tjeing sent to the Continent, and prices are firm.
CECRET.A.RY G.A.GE has Sent to the House of Representa-
tives, with his recommendation that it be complied
with, a letter from the Supervising Architect of the Treas-
ury advising the purchase of the Bowling Green site, in
New York, and the construction upon it of a new. custom
house, to cost not more than $3,000,000, exclusive of the
cost of the site. It is shown by the terms of the letter
that there is now available for the purchase of a site a
balance of a former appropriation amounting to about
$1,500,000, in addition to which the Supervismg Architect
asks for an appropriation of $750,000. It having been
found impossible to sell the present custom house site on
Wall street for $4,000,000, it is recommended that it be
sold for not less than $3,250,000, it being understood, al-
though not stated in the letter of the Supervising Archi-
tect, that an offer of the amount named as the lowest price
has been made and will be repeated.

The domestic manufacturers of machine made lace cur-
tains are having their innings, as we understand that all
machines are fully employed and the product is sold far
ahead. This condition is due to the American goods
being cheaper by reason of the new tariff than the foreign
goods, and the generally improved business situation.
The Scranton Lace Curtain Company is sharing fully
in the present great detnand for domestic lace curtains.
Its spring patterns have evidently pleased the buyers so
well, and the quality and make of the goods are so uni-
formly acceptable, that the trouble this season is to turn
out the goods fast enough. Creighton & Burch, the sell-
ing agents, lU and 12 Thomas street, have placed the
Scranton lace curtains with the best houses in the trade.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
SEEN AND SUGGESTED.
T^o be fashionable, drawing rooms and parlors should
have a frieze around the walls or just above the doors
and mantels. People have discarded the fireplace for use,
but they are so habituated to its break in the monotony of
walls that they cling to it in the majorit)^ of cases, and do
not seem to be able to find a substitute for it.
A mantel in the style of Louis XV. should have a mirror
above it, in the centre of which should rest a crystal ap-
plique, which appears circular in form because of its
reflection, and makes a soft radiance when lighted.
The appliques about the walls must be in keeping,
though they are of brass or gilt, sometimes with crystal
attachments. Fashionable lamps, also, are now made of
brass.
In a Louis XV. room everything must harmonize. The
tapestries (if used at all) must be suitable to the period,
and there must always be at least three of them, or a
panel to correspond may be set on the third wall. In a
tapestried room three draperies, costing several thousand
dollars each, hang on a gilt molding below the "cove" of
the wall, and above this jointure are figures in bas relief to
match the friezes, or the ceiling may be frescoed. The
tapestries must have the same ground color, and that must
be like the ground color scheme of the chairs, sofas, car-
pets or rugs.
All the furniture must be in the style of Louis XV. ,
which insures lightness and grace of shape, gold and jew-
eled woodwork and dainty upholstery effects, and admits
of the introduction of exquisite pieces of furniture, made
in those days for use, and in these principally for orna-
ment.
The window draperies, cushions and all the ornaments
in such a suite of rooms must be in Louis XV. style. None
of the bric-a-brac may be of any other period.
W/hat may be called the cult of sofa pillows is not so
well understood as it should be. On a sofa or divan,
whose cover is a gay Bagdad curtain or a flowered brocade,
the effect is very inharmonious if it is piled with a variety
of all-over design effects. The pillows should be for the
most part in solid colors or soft neutral tones, or the .
result is exceedingly inartistic. An excellent arrange-
ment is to have, in the case of a divan which has no back,
perhaps three large square pillows stuffed with hair and
covered with a hard plush or corduroy in a solid color.
This establishes a background, even if the actual cover of
the divan is gay, and permits the use of more variety then
in the cushions against it; but to buy cushions in a hap-
hazard way is often as disastrous as to buy pictures by
the yard or bric-a-brac by the bargain sale.
"The art silks for the various uses of fancy work, includ-
ing scarf draperies and sofa cushions, are vying in
beauty this season with costly hand work in the shape of
elaborate embroideries. A sofa cushion made up of silk
of a pale art green tint, powdered with brown thistles,
was as extremely realistic as though it had been
wrought in relief work. Some other patterns seen were
one of apple green silk, covered with cherry blossoms, and
a rich one of a cafe au lait ground, upon which were strewn
in lavish profusion perky bunches of the stiff little spikes
of wintergreen leaves, with the bright red beads of berries
that betoken their ripening.
\n elegant way to furnish a library is with heavy carved
black oak of the Elizabethan period. The big chairs
are quite as comfortable as they are handsome, and seem
to imply that solidity for the accommodation of mind and
body are to be found in the library. Its walls should be
dark green, while those of a dining room should be com-
paratively light, and boudoirs and sleeping rooms de-
cidedly so.
William Nichols has opened an upholstering establish-
ment at Milford, Del.
Frank W. Robinson, formerly with T. J. Keveney &
Co., is now in the upholstery department at John Wana-
maker's. New York.
The account of the Saranac Mills will be represented
hereafter by Herbert Gardner in New York and by R. S.
Browniie, of the former firm of Rosenthal & Brownlie, in
Chicago and the West.
James Munro, manager of Stern Brothers' magnificent
upholstery department, will sail for Europe about the mid-
dle of March. If the effete monarchies have anything new
to offer, Mr. Munro will bring it back with him.
R. T. Hazzard & Co., of Philadelphia, will act as sell-
ing agents for the decorative burlaps manufactured by
the Farr & Bailey Manufacturing Company, Camden,
N. J. Hazzard & Co. will show the goods at their Phila-
delphia headquarters, 814 Pine street, and also at their
New York office, in the Presbyterian Building, Fifth
avenue.
The "Inlaid Linoleum (Thomson's Patent) Company,
Ltd.," Halifax, England, has been registered, with a
capital of ^50,000 in ;£b shares, to adopt an agreement
with W. G. Thomson, and to carry on the business of
manufacturers of and dealers in linoleums. The directors
are Clement Holdsworth, Sir John Cass, William M.
Brigg and W. G. Thomson.
The Wyoming Valley Lace Company, Wilkesbarre,
Pa., have purchased recently the plot of land 61x127
feet on Union street which was owned by the late Elias
Robbins, and will build on it a large addition to their
factory. The company held their annual election on the
15th ult., and the following officers were chosen: Presi-
dent, W. J. Harvey; treasurer, Fred Theis; secretary, P.
R. Raife; directors, Messrs. Duncan, Peter Forve, C. E.
Stegmaier and John T. Lenahan.
The Ardmore Mill, now building for the Laurence
W. Frank Company, at 139 and 141 Oxford street, Phila-
delphia, is rapidly approaching completion, and will soon
be ready for the machinery. The company intend to
manufacture high grade curtains and table covers, up-
holstery and decorative fabrics. The mill will be one of
the finest in the city, and will have every facility for pro-
ducing high grade goods. A very notable feature of the
mill is the arrangement for light, the building being one
story in height. The roof is one vast skylight; a great
advantage for a room in which delicate fabrics are manu-
factured.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
WORTH STREET'S UPHOLSTERY ATTRACTION.
o better proof of the position held
by Stead & Miller as leading
manufacturers of upholsteries
and curtains may be evidenced
than the fact that the major
portion of visiting buyers find their
way to 115 Worth street, the firm's
New York salesroom. The latter is
now almost flocking by itself owing to
the up town movement, but as one ot
the largest buyers said to a Review
man : " We'll have to go down to
■''"* ~ Worth street as long as Stead & Miller
remain there." D. O. Kerbaugh, in charge of the office,
is not behind his up-town competitors in attractive and
convenient appointments for displaying the goods, for the
Worth street showrooms form model selling quarters.
Stead & Miller have marketed their output this season
very fully ; in fact, in quantity of goods the season will
probably come iip to any in past big years, but values have
been so greatly reduced as compared with five years ago
that an upholstery manufacturer has to exceed largely
even such a year as 1892 in output to compare with its
money volume.
ROSENTHAL & BROWNLIE CHANGE.
THE firm of Rosenthal & Brownlie, manufacturers'
agents, has dissolved, and the business is continued
by W. E. Rosenthal, who retains all the accounts handled
by the former firm, excepting that of the Saranac Mills.
Among these accounts are those of Hyndmann & Moore,
the Matred Mills and the Hensel Silk Manufacturing Com-
pany for the West. Mr. Rosenthal continues the sales-
rooms at 458 Broadway, New York; 147 Fifth avenue,
Chicago, and in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston and
Toronto, while he is considering also the opening of an
office in St. Louis. Mr. Rosenthal shows one of the
strongest lines of tapestry and chenille curtains and table
covers and upholstery piece goods, and will add new lines
by the opening of next season.
THE POINT DE PARIS BOBBINET CURTAIN.
COHEN Brothers & Co., 424 and 426 Broadway, New
York, are to the front again with six new designs of
bobbinet ruffled curtains of the Point de Paris effect. The
large increase of orders for this class of window drapery,
which has become a leading style in all the fashionable
cities of the world, has forced Messrs. Cohen & Co. to re-
move their workroom to the lofts over their store on
Broadway. They now occupy three floors, 50x100 feet
each, devoted to the manufacture of all kinds of made-up
curtains.
The store of Ewen, Mclntyre & Co., New Haven,
Conn., will be enlarged next May by the addition of an
adjoining building, which is three stories high. The firm
will then have about 60,000 feet of floor space.
J. S. LESSER & CO.'S NEW QUARTERS.
JS. Lesser & Co., the lace curtain manufacturers and
• importers, are now well settled in their new quar-
ters at 473 Broadway, where they occupy two lofts, each
about 30x200 feet. One loft is utilized entirely for show-
rooms and offices, and its arrangement and superb light
make it a model lace curtain salesroom. J. S. Lesser re-
turned on the 19th ult. from abroad with a number of
new styles in Brussels, Irish point, Tambour and Notting-
ham curtains. The firm also show a choice line of do-
mestic lace curtains and a strong assortment of ruffled net
and muslin curtains of their own make. There is every
indication that Lesser & Co. are to figure more promi-
nently in the curtain field than ever before.
STERN BROTHERS' SPRING UPHOLSTERIES.
THE wholesale upholstery department of Stern Brothers
has become one of those places to which lovers of the
beautiful and useful resort in search of handsome things,
which can be found nowhere else in New York. There
is hardly anything of the art products of the world in
draperies and upholsteries which is not to-day to be seen
in this department, which offers buyers desirous of finding
confined patterns and fabrics opportunities which give
them a chance to distance all competition without the
necessity of carrying stocks, the mere interest on which
would eat up all possible profit. There is absolutely
nothing that is new or good that is not to be found at
Stern's, and it goes without saying that there is nothing
that is staple and good, even if it be not new, that cannot
be found in the stock.
Chas. B. Young & Co have had very satisfactory calls
from visiting buyers during the past fortnight, and are
sending in good orders to Hoyle, Harrison & Kaye and
the Eden Manufacturing Company. They have- lines of
curtains, piece goods and table covers which cannot be
overlooked.
D. Robb Stirratt is recording excellent orders on the
Hensel Company's new " Velvet Ruff " rope portifere. As
stated in our last issue, the advantage of obtaining a
thicker appearing rope at about the same price as the old
style rope portieres appeals at once to a discerning buyer.
Stephen Wallis, representative of W. E. Meats & Co.,
the Nottingham curtain manufacturers, recently rettirned
from a satisfactory Western trip, and will go out again
this month. Mr. Wallis is offering the stock of curtains at
33 Howard street at specially low prices, and can give im-
mediate deliveries.
The John Kroder and Henry Reubel Company are now
settled in their new and spacious salesrooms, 268 and 270
Canal street. New York, and their offerings in upholstery
and carpet hardware, wood and metal curtain poles and
trimmings, &c., are well calculated to interest thoroughly
every buyer. Their large factory on Clinton street and
their increased facilities for both manufacturing and sell-
ing metal and wood goods enable them to meet the de-
mands of the trade more completely than ever before.
See their new advertisement on page 99 of this issue.

M.i.LLEP.Ky. — Clark !Mallemy, head of Albert Gall's upholstery de-

Rochester, N. Y. Mr Sharp is an able merchant, a broad guage
man, and will be an acquisition to mercantile and social circles in
his new home. His New York friends, and the term includes every-
body who ever met him, will be sorry to lose him, but will wish him
all the success he deserves, and that is simply wLshing him everything
he could desire.
Wasserma.n. — Ben Wasserman, of the Philadelphia Tapestry Com-
pany, is back from an extended wedding tour, and is as happy in his
new as he was forlorn in his old estate. The day is not far distant
apparently when an old bachelor will be as rare in the upholstery
trade as an imported silk hat.
FERGUSON BROTHERS' LATEST NOVELTIES.
IN a business like that of Ferguson Brothers, the well-
known manufacturers of novelties and specialties for
furniture, upholstering and housefurnishing departments,
brain work must be both incessant and well directed to se-
cure success, for the demand for new things never relaxes.
The great growth of this firm's business is therefore a con-
clusive proof that their designing department has at its
ser\dce a remarkable and apparently inexhaustible fund of
ideas, enabling them to turn out new things to suit ever}-
season, novelties which not only fill all obvious demands of
the public, but also suggest and stimulate new uses, things
entirely novel and yet so evidently desirable that one almost
wonders why they were not thought of before. Among the
specialties in the Messrs. Ferguson's lines which have been
especially successful in the present season are a number of
new styles in screens, a line of white enameled cabinets, a
variety of fire screens, and their unique shirt waist boxes.
These boxes are perhaps the greatest hit of the season.
They are made in nests of four, each box being covered
with handsome cretonne, lined with dainty figured muslin
and having a lid with brass hinges. They are extremely
useful as receptacles for clothing, shoes, &c. , and the de-
mand for them has already reached great proportions.
Ferguson Brothers' complete lines are shown at their
downtown salesroom, 494 Broadway, and at their oflSce and
factory, 433 and 435 West Thirty-first street. New York.
James S. Lyon, theatrical upholsterer, of High Holbom,
London, died recently. He was intimately connected
with the theatrical profession for the last fifty-five years,
and during that time was intrusted with the furnishing of
most of the theatres and music halls in London and of
many in the provinces. The English theatre-going public
is indebted to him for a very large proportion of the com-
fort and luxury it enjoys when attending a place of amuse-
ment.
The great amount of work encountered in the removal
of the salesrooms of The John Kroder and Henrj- Reubel
Company to 268 and 270 Canal street, coupled with a
constantly increasing; business, has kept Messrs. Reubel,
Kroder and Angier and their entire force more than busy
since the first of the year. Time is straightening out
matters, however, and orders are beginning to go out with
usiml promptness. This company now have the best
lighted and appointed salesroom for carpet and uphol-
sterj- hardware and curtain poles in the trade.

The schedules of George W, Graham, manufacturer of

The partnership heretofore existing under the name of
Manix, Dresser & Ahrens has been dissolved by mutual
consent, E. H. Dresser having retired from the firm Feb-

19. The business of the late firm will be conducted by
J. E. Manix and A. R. Manix, under the firm name of
J. E. Manix & Co.
J-
The strong lines of curtains and curtain materials handled
by F. M. Van Blaricom have sold so freely that the factory
facilities have been constantly enlarged. The combinations
and effects in fish net, muslin and bobbinet ruffled curtains
are specially tasteful and handsome, and reflect high
credit on Mr. Van Blaricom's knowledge of what will sell.
■ A call at his salesroom, 415 Broadway, will be profitable
to every curtain buyer.
J*
James McCreery & Co.'s Twenty- third street store con-
tinues to expand. The firm have added another building,
25 feet front. The improvement of the main floor will
not end here, as the store occupying the intervening space
between the two entrances will be occupied by them as
soon as the lease of the present occupants expires and the
necessary alterations are made. As soon as these are com-
pleted they will have an unbroken frontage of 150 feet,
with facilities for displays equal to any store in the city.
J-
W. J. Wilde recently returned from a very successful
trip for the wholesale upholstery department of B. Alt-
man & Co. He reports that the firm's line received
greatly increased attention, as buyers who had purchased
the goods previously met with great success in handling
them. The feature of seeing effects in weave and style
not in any other wholesale stock is certainly an attraction
for every careful buyer. Mr. Wilde will start out shortly
on a supplemental trip with the latest novelties brought
over by Louis Kurr, the department manager, who re-
turned from abroad last week.

Because the culvert at Fourth avenue and Eighteenth

The new salesrooms of Rieser & Co., 473 Broadway,
have presented a busy aspect during the past fortnight, as
the firm have received calls from a majority of the visiting
buyers, and an old-time air of activity pervaded the estab-
lishment. The firm have been particularly fortunate in
holding an excellent stock of Saxony Brussels curtains and
fine French goods, as it appears the market is not over-
stocked on these better class curtains. They continue
busy on their ruffled muslin and net curtains, and their
producing facilities enable them to care for orders as well
as any other concern in the trade.

EIDERDOWN FARMS.
A CORRESPONDENT o£ an English newspaper writes from
Iceland as follows: " All accounts I have read about
eider ducks say that nests are robbed of their down twice,
the duck supplying it each time from her own body ; the
third time the drake gives his white down, and this is
allowed to remain. But I was told by farmers in Iceland
that now they never take the down until the little ones are
hatched. It has been found that the birds thrive better
and increase faster when they are allowed to live as nature
meant them to do. So now the poor mothers are no
longer obliged to strip themselves of all their down to
refurnish their despoiled nests. Sometimes, if the quan-
tity is very great, a little may be taken, but enough must
be left to cover the eggs
when the duck leaves
her nest for food.
"An eider duck farm at
Isafjord is thus de-
scribed: ' On the coast
was a wall built of large
stones, just above high
water level, about 3 feet
high and of considerable
thickness at the bottom.
On both sides of it
alternate stones had been
left out so as to form
a series of square com-
partments for the ducks
to make their nests in.
Almost every compart-
ment was occupied,
and as we walked along
the shore a line of ducks
flew out, one after an-
other. The house was a
marvel ; the earthen
walls that surround it
and the window embras-
ures were occupied with
ducks. On the ground
the house was fringed
with ducks. On the turf
slopes of the roof we
could see ducks, and
ducks sat on the scraper.'
"About 10,000 pounds
of eiderdown are gathered
annually in Iceland,
7,000 being exported to
foreign counties. For-
merly the peasants used
to receive over 31 shill-
ings a pound, but the
price has now fallen to half that amount,
seldom receive money, and are obliged to barter their
down for merchandise furnished by the Danish merchants
at the little settlements at the fjords. A pound and a half
of down is enough to fill an ordinary bed puff. These
very comfortable articles are found in the guest room of
every Iceland farm, however poor and small it may be.
After a long, hard day in the saddle the traveler longs for
warmth and shelter. These little guest rooms have never
had a fire in them, and built, as they are, on the ground,
there is a dreadful chill in them. Once tucked away in
bed, the tired bones lose their pains and stiffness, how-
ever, and well covered with down puff, a delightful sense
of comfort follows."
SWISS EMBROIDERIES.
THE French Consul General at Zurich, Switzerland, says:
"The modification of the United States tariff has had
no special influence on the embroidering industry; busi-
ness is certainly a little more difficult in consequence of the
raising of the diities, but
when an article is fash-
ionable an advance of
50 to 60 per cent, has
scarcely any effect. At
St. Gall, too, the prac-
tice is to put forth new
and fashionable goods,
which naturally helps
sales. The fear of seeing
an embroidery industry
created in the United
States as a result of the
increased customs duties
has not been justified,
as Americans have only
taken up silk embroid-
ery, for which the pres-
ent demand is very
strong. For this reason
an American house re-
cently gave a considerable
order for embroidering
machines to work night
and day on silk. ' Ma-
chines a navette '
threaten to oust hand
machines in many
branches, though for the
higher classes of work
there will still be a large
field open to the hand
machines and to fine
embroiderers."

CHINESE HOUSEHOLDS.
UNLIKE the Japanese, the Chinese have been accustomed
to the use of high tables and chairs for hundreds of
years. Curiously enough, though, one often sees the
coolies in the streets squatting about on their heels, yet
they never take their meals in that position. As a rule,
their tables, and consequently their chairs and stools, are
higher than ours. So high, in fact, are the round, marble
topped tables that one can see only the heads and shoul-
ders of those sitting at them.
The table is placed in the centre of the room, is guiltless
of napery — that is, among the middle and lower classes —
and only one dish is served at a time. Men and women
eat separately, of course, as the women are not supposed
to leave the zenana while the men are about the house.
Frequently high,
carved stools, with
marble or porcelain
seats let in, are
used for dining
chairs, and as many
sit about the table
as can find room for
their stools. In
private houses much
pomp and cere-
mony are observed,
for the Chinese are
nothing if not dig-
nified and dec-
orous.
In the homes of
the wealthy people
we find as luxuri-
ous surroundings as
we do among the
same class in the
Occident. For in-
stance, the doorways
are hung with
heavily embroidered
curtains; ottomans,
tables and chairs
are covered with drapery of exquisite embroidery, and
their furniture, of which they have almost as many pieces
as we have, is elaborately carved and inlaid with deco-
rated china and different woods.
The Chinese characters which stand for napkins or ser-
viette, being translated, read "food arresters" — not a bad
name for them, either. In some houses I have seen nap-
kins made of delicate silk and satin, covered with the
beautiful embroidery for which they are famous. One
corner is turned down, and a silken
loop sewed on to serve as a button
latch, which is fastened to the top
button of the dress.
When the dinner is finished, a
lacquered basin of hot water is
brought in, and a small cotton or
linen napkin wrung out of it, and
handed in turn to each one at the
table to wipe his hands, that the elaborate silken napkins
may not be ruined by soiled fingers. These dainty crea-
tions are apparently as great a source of pride to the
Chinese housewife as our own delicate doilies are to us.
The Chinese have elaborate furniture, carved bedsteads
being a specialty in some parts of the empire. There are
some elaborately carved ones which are not so very unlike
our own folding bed of the present day. There are
drawers beneath the bed, and on either side are shelves
and small drawers for toilet articles, so arranged as to be
shut in by an outer enclosure of beautifully carved scroll-
work set like a screen. This in turn is sometimes con-
cealed from view by heavy curtains.
In the northern part of China, where the winters are
very severe, most houses have a broad, hollow trench of
brick built across one end or one side of the main room.
This is heated by
flues, and during the
day furnished with
low chairs and
tables, where the
family sit to keep
warm. At night
they bring their
wadded comforts
and roll themselves
up, and sleep on
the heated bricks.
In the homes of the
better class the
kang, as this is
called, is divided
and arranged more
or less with em-
broidered curtains,
hangings, or the
scroll carvings of
which they are very
fond.

A GRANDFATHER'S CHAIR.
PAINTING is the art of color, sculpture the art of form,
embroidery the art of clothing forms. Those
delightful old seats (sometimes called "wing chairs "), are,
like so many desirable things, a revival of the past.
Original grandfather's chairs may still be found in old-
fashioned cottages in remote villages, or in the house-
keeper's room of some old country seat, but with the sketch
given here any practical upholsterer may produce one of
this form, carefully noting the proportions given, for in
this, in a great measure, the comfort of the chair consists.
It is capacious enough to contain one's entire person, if
required, with feet comfortably tucked up. There is a
cozy corner for the head, and wings which exclude all
draught. The ideal material for the covering is Kerrie-
muir twilled linen, and the embroidery should be in crewel.
If anything very handsome be desired, Italian satin (or
satin de luxe, a mixture of silk and wool) may be used,
and the work may be in filoselle, but crewel on linen is
much more in keeping with the date of the chair, and it
can be easily cleaned when necessary without injury to
work or material, and even without taking the covering
off the chair. The colorings should be in greens, rich
chestnut browns and old golds, the greens to be used for
the leaves, the browns for veining and the golds for what
appear as flowers in the design.
The peculiarity of this work consists in the manner in
which the different shades are worked in ; all attempts at
blending, as in the opus plumarium, are avoided ; there
is a distinct line where one shade touches another. Take
the acanthus-shaped leaf in the design for the top corner
of the left arm of the chair, given in Figure 1. Begin
with the outside of the leaf and work all around the edge
with an ordinary "leaf" green in stitches of a uniform
length of about three-sixteenths of an inch, lying close to-
gether, being careful to make them even and regular.
Then, inside this, and
touching it, repeat the
same thing in a shade
of blue-green, put-
ting the needle into
the first row of stitches,
and again inside that
in a darker shade of the
same color, filling in
the entire leaf. The
veinings and the
outside edge, where
the main stem would
be, should then be
worked in split stich,
with two threads of
brown crewel in the
needle. Outside the
main stem is a row
of loop stitches of the
darkest green, lying
lengthways along the
stem. To make this
stitch the needle is
brought up from the
wrong side of the work and put through again in the same
place, leaving a loop of about an eighth of an inch, which
is sewn down with a small stitch. The rest of the leaf
may have small stitches in groups of three, something like
a broad arrow, at even distances along the edge ; this will
prevent any hardness of outline. The liower should be
worked in shades of old gold and have veinings of brown
in split stitch, and a row of small, even, slanting stitches
around the outside. The
stems should be filled in with
stem stitch, beginning on
the right-hand side with th(
" leaf " green and shading
to the darkest blue-green
the left side.
This example will give
idea of the general principle
on which the whole design
is executed. There may
a little variation in the cent
scroll or flower, which
is rather large to be
entirely solid. Work
in three shades of
old gold around the
edge, as already de-
scribed in Fig. 1, and
cover the centre
with what are known
as small "fly" stitches
of the lightest shade.
These stitches are
made in the same way
as the "loop" stitches
along the main stem of the leaf in Fig. 1, but instead of
putting the needle in where it was brought up, put it
through a few threads away, leaving the loop open
when sewn down.
Work the veins in
split stitch with brown
crewel, as before.
The spots above this
part of the design
should be worked in
bullion stitch in the
following way : Bring
the needle up on the
outline of the spot,
put it through on the
opposite side of the
outline, bringing the
point out again in the
same place from which
the crewel appears.
The crewel is then
twisted many times
around the point of the
needle, which is
drawn carefully out
and inserted once
more in the same place
on the opposite side

of the outline, keeping the left thumb firmly on the long
knot or roll until the thread is pulled through, so that it
may lie evenly across the spot from left to right.
This stitch is perhaps the most troublesome and com-
plicated of any, and when finished should have the
appearauce of bullion or purl; but if the worker does not
feel equal to attempting it, the spots may be worked in
French knots, making first a row on the outline, and
gradually filling in to the centre.
The small " powderings " in Fig. 3, to be used for the
seat of the chair, should be worked in split stitch, in green
crewel, and the spots may be treated in the same way as
those in the design for the back of the chair.
THE "UNIVERSAL" CURTAIN POLE.
THE claims made for the " Universal " curtain pole are
obviously well based. Two views of the pole are
given on page 91, and from them the buyer may obtain a
good idea of the pole's advantages. The pole is made
with two ridges or tracks, which are out of view when the
pole is in place. A little oil placed on these tracks will
furnish easy and perfect traversing with any ordinary
curtain ring. Between the tracks the pole is concaved to
allow the use of cords and pulleys on heavy portiferes, if
desired. Therefore the Universal pole supplies all pur-
poses for stationary or movable draperies, and does away
with the need of traverse rings, as any ring can be used
upon it. The pole is no higher in price than regular
stock brass poles, and is intended for regular stock for any
establishment. It is made exclusively by the Rome Brass
and Copper Company, of Rome, N. Y.
John Gurson gave bonds of $500 to keep the peace in
Justice Straus' court, at Chicago, on the 17th ult. He
was charged with threatening to kill Joseph and Rudolph
Deimel, proprietors of the National Parlor Furniture
Company, 462 Wabash avenue. The suit dates back to
the failure of Deimel Brothers three years ago. Gurson, it
is said, loaned the brothers $5,500 prior to their failure,
which he has never since been able to collect. On one
occasion, when he called at Joseph Deimel's house with
his customary demand for money, according to the
brothers, he drew a revolver and threatened to kill both
if they did not pay him.
F. H. Lapsley & Brother, 12 South Charles street, Bal-
timore, are extensive manufacturers of window shades,
shadings, fringes, spring rollers, mosquito canopies, &c.
Their lines of shadings include the Crown opaque, Ban-
croft's Sun-Fast hoUands, and Oswego shadings, and they
are large importers of John King & Son's Scotch hol-
lands. Their offerings to the trade comprise also exten-
sive lines of floor and table oil cloths, linoleum, stair rods,
stair buttons, curtain poles, &c. In all of these goods
they are in a position to interest strongly every buyer.
The death of Mr. F. H. Lapsley, which was noted in our
issue of the 15th ult, will not make necessary any change
in the business of the firm. Mr. W. E. Lapsley, the sur-
viving partner, is the sole legatee of F. H. Lapsley, and
will continue the business as usual.

STARTING IN BUSINESS.
THERE are, I believe, two important points to consider
when about to start in the retail upholstery or carpet
business — namely, a good store in which to show your
goods, and letting the public know what you have by
advertising. Relative to the first point — the store — one
can picture an ideal location where rents are low and living
cheap, and where the chances of success are many. I re-
member starting myself in business some years ago. As
a clerk on a salary of from $15 to $18 a week, this was
slow work, and I had determined to rent a store and begin
business with some money I had. My first opportunity
was to buy into a store already stocked with carpets and
furnishings. The frontage of this store is shown in the
first drawing. Small windows, no chance to show goods,
and altogether a dismal picture. Inside I noticed the
worn counter, the creaking floor of the decaying building,
each in its own language speaking of business the glory of
which had departed ; for once this store did considerable
business, but times had changed. Of course rents are
cheap for such stores, but I would prefer to pay more and
get a better store. In diagram 3 is a store of more modem
pattern. The show windows are large plate glass, and
there is ample room to show stock; but I would say that
the store finally secured is shown in the drawing 3. The
windows have been made over so as practically to double
the opportunity for display of goods. By fixing mirror
glass to the sides and backs of the show windows, my
window displays were made very attractive, and enabled
me to draw considerable trade. With a good store, fair
location and the right assortment of stock, a man has a
reasonable show for success, even with limited capital,
provided that he lets people know that he has something
to sell.
There are methods of circularizing and schemes for
advertising without number. Circularizing has had a set-
back to some extent by the post office authorities objecting
to the stuffing of mail boxes with advertising matter. But
there is no harm in sending cards in a small way. In my
case, all of my friends that I could reach I saw personally,
getting from them a list of their friends, keeping a record
of all in a book alphabetically arranged, and copying the
names of those that lived in my territory from the direc-
tory. The financial department evolved an announcement
in the form of a unique folder, so worded as to interest the
would-be buyers of carpets, draperies, &c. These I sent
through the mail, sealing them in envelopes to insure
their being opened. As I afterward learned, the store
was fairly well advertised by this method. Then I adver-
tised by means of window attractions. I had a hand car-
pet loom in the window at one time, making carpets. The
worst of these unique window shows is that they draw a
crowd and block the sidewalk.
I hear of a recent case in which a ladder was placed in
front of a show window, running up to the roof. On the
ladder, on a line with the sill of the third story window,
was placed a dummy fireman. The upper sash of the
third story window nearest the ladder was lowered about
a inches. Filling this space was a sheet iron box, taper-
ing back until it fitted in the pipe of a stove. When the
streets were quite well filled with people a fire was started
in the stove, and smoke, the result of burning dry grass,
poured out of the sheet iron box at the window. The
effect was realistic.
But, after all, the advertisements in the monthly, bi-
monthly or weekly magazine, and the local daily papers,
have a more lasting effect. Advertisements on wrapping
paper are often obnoxious to the purchasers, while no one
objects to the nicely worded paper advertisement. In fact,
trade advertisements are very helpful to people who are
about to carpet their houses. It has been well said that
the carpet dealer who divides a percentage of his year's
profits with the printer gets his money back several times
over in new business. Many people have become so ac-
customed to findmg information as to new patterns,
prices, &c., in the advertising of carpet stores that they
look for the announcement in each issue of the various
papers.
On April 1 the C. H. Carroll Company will open a
department store in Rochester, N. Y. It is incorporated
with a capital of $75,000, the incorporators being Charles
H. Carroll, formerly of Carroll, Beadle & Mudge,
Rochester; Charles Shupp, who is a well-known and
solid general storekeeper of Plymouth, Pa., and Robert
G. Sharp, for many years at the head of the upholstery
department of the old firm of E. S. Jaffray & Co. The
company has secured a long lease on very favorable terms
of the big store on Elm and East Main streets formerly
occupied by Gorton & McCabe. The concern will buy
through the American Syndicate. The upholstery de-
partment will be located on the second floor, and at the
outset no carpets will be carried. A feature new to
Rochester will be the service of luncheon between 11 and
2 o'clock, at moderate prices.

Facts About Hartshorn Shade Rollers.
The product of our factories includes Shade Rollers of every
description, made of wood and tin, suitable for all classes of
work, and many famous Hartshorn accessories.
The cost of these Rollers is slightly higher than any others on
the market.
The quality of these Rollers is so high as to be far beyond
the reach of real competition.
The reputation of these Rollers is of such strength as to insure
success to any merchant in the window shade line who sells
them exclusively.
The demand for them is universal, and so heavy as to keep
our great factories running- constantlv.
These are some of the reasons that our Rollers are found to=day in whatever part of the
world a window shade is hung.

A JUDICIOUS INVESTMENT.
The Best Economy in your Carpet Room
can only be secured by using the most perfect appliances, of the simplest
design and the best construction.
Experience Has Proven the Fact
that the SINGER AUTOMATIC POWER CARPET SEWER will save its
cost in one year to any carpet dealer having enough business to require a hand
machine. THE SINGER AUTOflATIC is now in use by dealers who saved
its cost during the first six months of its operation.
A TRIUMPH OF MECHANICAL JEFFICIEKCT, SURPASSING ALL OTHER VEVICES FOR ITS PURPOSE.
Truly automatic, requires less labor and sews 40 per cent.
more carpet than any other machine on the market.
Requires least floor space, and uses any form of power.
Makes perfect stitch and seam, sewing any kind of carpet.
Automatic Matching and
Clamping Device. »**'**i»*i»
This device is absolutely unique, and secures perfect stretching
and matching, without necessity for expert labor. It is simpler,
swifter and in every way more effective than any other way of
handling a carpet. The sewing machine works automatically on
its track, following the operator from section to section as fast as
each is matched and clamped, the action of the clamping levers
automatically governing the movement of the sewing machine,
thus saving a great deal of time
This is not a Hand Machine Crudely Adapted to Power Operation*
Our Hand Machine is well known, and is still on the market, fully guaranteed to be the best
and most practical in use.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1, 1898.
To Buyers of Upholstery Fabrics:
Our new Spring line of Tapestry Table and Couch Covers, Piece Goods and
Curtains will attest more strongly than ever the primacy of our position as
leaders in this line of goods. Every effort has been made to surpass all pre-
vious records, and the many novelties and improvements we have succeeded in pro-
ducing bear evidence of the superiority of the product of our mills.
Our goods show all that is latest in fabric and style, and are put on the
market at figures that commend them to buyers of fine, medium and popular priced
goods .
The point to consider in selecting your Spring Upholstery Goods is value.
Upholstery Value means richness and exclusiveness of Fabric, Perfection and
Correctness of Style, and Excellence of Make. Our New Spring Line reveals the
most extensive showing of novelties and styles ever made up by any one single
house in this country. It is a line that every buj^er should see.

MODERN UPHOLSTERIES.
It is evident that buyers are becoming more convinced every season that it
does not pay to purchase foreign made Upholstery and Drapery Fabrics
when they can buy American made goods of equal quality and superior
styles at considerably less money. That our productions for the
SPRING OF 1898
will substantiate the correctness of this 'assertion
we leave to the judgment of the Trade and invite the most careful
comparison between them and imported fabrics.

A Little Mud
goes a long ways. No one thing prevents dirty
floors better than a Perforated Rubber Mat with
corrugated surface. The corrugations scrape the
mud off and the perforations hold it, so that the
surface is always in good condition. Impervious
to water, you can clean it with a hose ; but if you
prefer an old-fashioned shake, that, too, will
answer. Made to fit exactly any space, no
matter how irregular. Add extreme durability,
and name and address inserted so that thief can't
remove — and you have a mat
every customer on yo\ir books
can use. Not necessary to
carry stock — all you need is
samples. Sent free on applica-
tion.

IMPORT ORDERS. My recent important announcement is bringing me
encouraging inquiries and some orders. Buyers seem to realize the
UNUSUAL PRIVILEGES I am offering. I will take, as announced,
IMPORT ORDERS from responsible houses on the basis of a small
commission, with the understanding that if on inspection in bonded
warehouse the goods do not prove satisfactory, the firm giving such
order will not be obliged to take same.
A LARGE AND WELL ASSORTED STOCK will be always found, as
before, at my spacious and well lighted stores, o^o BROADWAY and
90 LEONARD STREET, NEW YORK, and in bond. As the
LARGEST IMPORTER I always enjoy great facilities in securing
desirable lots at advantageous prices, giving the benefit of the same
to my customers, which is the secret of my success.
Note.— All goods remaining from the old tariff imports are still quoted
at old tariff prices.

The Carpets made by this Company have received the highest award wherever exhibited,
including Gold Medals at the Paris Exposition, 1878, and at the Centennial, 1876.
Their deserved reputation for excellence of fabric, richness and durability of color, novelty and
beauty of design, has led to frequent infringements, and inferior goods have often been palmed off
in their stead. For the protection of the public the Company has adopted as a trade mark the word
" BIGELOW," which will be woven (at every repeat of the pattern) in white capitals into the back
of the fabric. Customers will therefore have merely to examine the back of a carpet to be certain
that they are getting the genuine Bigelow goods.
THESE GOODS CAN BE HAD FB03I ALL FIRST-CLASS DEALERS.

°Our readers are urged to remember that we are
always desirous to receive communications of interest to
the carpet or upholstery trades, such as changes in firms
or managers, the building or opening of new stores,
improvements in old ones, the adding of new departments,
improved methods of doing business, new inventions, sug-
gestions as to the cutting, making and laying of carpets,
the designing and fitting of draperies, or inquiries and
dissertations relating to the technical or commercial details
of the trades to which this periodical is devoted.
THE TRADE SITUATION.
r^ETAiL trade has not been particularly active during the
r*^ past fortnight, but dealers never expect any marked
increase in business before the latter part of March.
Orders already placed keep the looms fairly well em-
ployed, but our advices indicate that retailers generally
are well supplied with goods, and that therefore duplicate
orders may not be given very freely until their stocks are
reduced.
Domestic manufacturers of rugs have no reason to com-
plain of the results of the season to this date nor of the
outlook in their branch of the trade, while, as our adver-
tising pages show, the demand for Oriental rugs is con-
stantly growing, new firms are entering the trade and the
older ones seem to be continually expanding their business.
THE PROJECTED INGRAIN COMBINATION.
AROUND of the Ingrain manufacturers shows conflict-
ing views regarding the possibility of forming a
combination, and its success if formed. There is a
strong feeling among the larger manufacturers that some-
thing ought to be done to improve the condition of the
Ingrain business, and the unsatisfactory state of prices,
as well as of the volume of business, has caused several
manufacturers to listen for the first time to overtures
regarding a combination. On the other hand, there are
manufacturers who so far doubt the possibility of consum-
mating a mutually satisfactory organization that they do
not feel disposed to entertain the project.
Others positively state that they would not enter a com-
bination under any circumstances, considering that their
co-operation would be more beneficial to some unsuccess-
ful manufacturers than to themselves. An argument used
in promoting the plan is that the property would be taken
at a sound market valuation, free from all exaggeration,
and hence the stock issued would represent actual value
and make each manufacturer's plant worth as much as part
of the organization as it is now individually. There is no
gainsaying the fact that the Ingrain manufacturers are not
obtaining anything near an adequate return from their
business, doubtless being worse off in this respect than
manufacturers of other grades of carpetings, -perhaps ex-
cepting exclusive Brussels manufacturers. The aims of
the promoters are not to seize the Ingrain industry as a
means of gaining inordinate profits, but rather to preserve
the industry and obtain a fair margin for the labor and in-
vestment of the manufacturers. The idea is that by
29
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
amalgamating, say, 75 per cent, of the Ingrain machinery
of the countrv, the proposed corporation would be able to
sell at the closest prices and yet make a fair profit through
the minimum expenses and cost of materials
The conservative opinion, however, is that the task is
too great to be accomplished, at least without a long lapse
of time and endeavor. Many new features may also come
up before its accomplishment, which might change the
opinion of those most in favor of the combination at the
present time.
CARPET WOOL MARKET.
THE OUTLOOK FOR INDIA RUGS.
A WELL informed Oriental rug man makes the statement
that if the rug weaving industry spreads over India
it will create the strongest competition ever experienced
by Turkish and Persian rugs. He says it is impossible to
get all the India rugs and carpets which can be sold in this
country. The product is now limited, as there are not
sufficient natives skilled in rug weaving and the trade is
confined to a few districts. With labor in India at G cents
a day compared to 30 cents per day in Turkey, and the
greatest cost in a rug being labor, it can be seen what
India competition means.
Another reason for the restricted product of India rugs
is the lack of sufficient wool supplies at the places of manu-
facture. The right kind of wool for an increased product
would have to be raised or brought from other countries.
Rug weaving has existed for centuries in Turkey and
Persia, while it was the Parsees who introduced it into
India and it is there a comparatively new industry. Our
informant thinks, however, that the manufacture of
rugs in India is bound to rapidly enlarge, and predicts
great changes within the next five years. He says there
is a ready market for first-class styles, as the value is un-
surpassed, while India rugs in bad styles have to be sold
at a big sacrifice.
Dealers are advised to send for the new price list of the
Goshen Sweeper Company, of Grand Rapids, Mich. This
list was issued on March 1, and shows reductions in a
majority of the grades, which will give greater induce-
ments than ever to handle Goshen sweepers.
Referring to the coming production of whole-piece pile
carpets by a concern in Philadelphia, a contemporary
states that it will be the first output of large whole-piece
carpets in this country. This is incorrect, as the Hartford
Carpet Company have been making three and four yard
wide chenille pile carpets in one piece for the past two
years, and have kept their production sold up to the fullest
capacity.
The uniform perfection of the Japan and China mat-
tings now being received by Fritz & La Rue for delivery
on their spring orders shows the advantage of purchasing
goods from such a reliable house. The buyer is assured
of receiving satisfaction in quality and style, which is of
paramount importance in maintaining a dealer's reputa-
tion. As usual, their invoices are large enough to allow
them to receive further orders, and we advise dealers to
secure some of these extra choice fresh mattings while the
assortment is unbroken. If you cannot call, write to Fritz
& La Rue, 1123 and 1130 Market street, Philadelphia.

THE STANDARD OF QUALITY.
THE spring business of Thomas Potter, Sons & Co. in
their large lines of linoleum, floor, table and enameled
oil cloth, and rubber cloth is the largest in the history of
the house, and was particularly heavy during the months
of November, December and January. Taking their com-
bined output, Thomas Potter, Sons & Co. are the largest
producers of such goods in the world ; that is, the value
of their total production in linoleum, floor and light oil
cloth is larger than that of any other manufacturer of these
goods. With the proverbial modesty of Philadelphians,
they have not heretofore dwelt on this subject, but it is a
fact that Philadelphia produces more linoleum than any
other city in the world — the output of the Potter mills and
one other concern. The high quality of goods, superior
styles and fair treatment of the trade have been character-
istics of this concern for over half a century, and it is not
surprising that the name Potter stamped on a piece of
linoleum or oil cloth is a guarantee of standard quality.
WILD'S ORIENTAL RUG DEPARTMENT.
J'
I osEPH Wild & Co. have just received what is
claimed to be the most extensive and repre-
sentative importation of Oriental carpets and rugs
ever brought to this country. The assortment
which was selected by the buyer of the house, who
arrived last Saturday from the Far East, covers a
wide range of size, make, quality and price, and is
especially noticeable for its small sizes in rugs, of which
there are thousands. These latter are just now in very
active demand, and the whole line will attract the atten-
tion of every dealer in Oriental fabrics, who will be amply
repaid by an inspection of this latest importation.
B. McCabe & Brother state that their distribution of
cocoa mats and matting is as large as ever, if not larger,
and that they are able to fill all orders taken. They are
also still doing an extensive business in imported jute car-
pets and rugs, and have increased their lines in domestic
Smyrna rugs. Tapestries and other floor coverings. They
carry all goods in stock at their warerooms, 83 and 85
White street. New York.

mentary proceedings for Julius I. Israel, dealer in carpets
and furniture, of No. 789 Third avenue, on the application
of the Schrenkeisen Company, a judgment creditor.
Goldberg & Kimmel have opened a carpet and furni-
ture store at 77 and 79 Essex street. Max Goldberg,
the head of the new firm, is engaged in the same business
at 68 Essex street, and the junior partner has heretofore
been a manufacturer of skirts.
Dr. Harwood Huntington has been appointed the official
chemist of the Wool Exchange, and has moved his office
into the Wool Exchange Building, 260 West Broadway,
where he has a large and well equipped laboratory devoted
especially to the development and utilization of waste
products.
Hunter & Whitcomb are meeting with excellent success
in selling the Staines linoleum, manufactured by the
Linoleum Manufacturing Company, of Staines, England.
The Staines inlaid goods are particularly good sellei's,- and
are popular with the trade for their high quality and at-
tractive effects. The full line of samples is shown at 874
Broadway, where Hunter & Whitcomb are carrying some
stock of the goods.
John Mulqueen, the old-time carpet merchant of Brook-
lyn, is desirous of retiring, and elsewhere offers his pros-
perous business for sale. He has been in the business
about fifty years, having come to this country in the early
forties, beginning as a clerk with Hosea B. Perkins. In
1859 he started for himself at 89 Bowery, where he re-
mained until '68, when he established the Brooklyn concern
at Myrtle avenue and Jay street. He proposes to take a
trip around the world, stopping for a time to visit his old
home in Ireland.
Field, Chapman & Fenner will sell by auction on the
17th inst. 12,566 rolls of matting, which is the largest
quantity of such -goods ever offered at one sale.
Mr. E. H. Weatherbee, of Arnold, Constable & Co.,
reports a very satisfactory demand for his firm's offerings
in floor coverings, and especially for their lines of exclu-
sive patterns in the choice grades of carpeting.
H. S. Tavshanjian, 343 Broadway, has received many
inquiries regarding his announcement in the March 1
Review, wherein he offers to accept import orders for Ori-
ental rugs on a small commission. He has another inter-
esting bulletin on page 13 of this issue.
The changes at R. H. Macy & Co. 's consequent upon
the resignation of Geo. C. English, noted in our last issue,
leave Mr. Gribben in charge of the carpet and upholstery
departments, with Hartley Knight as second man in the
carpet department. Mr. Cunningham is at the head of
the furniture stock. ____
The Iran Company have a splendid location for whole-
saling- Oriental rugs in the modern building at 907 Broad-
way, adjacent to the biggest carpet salesrooms of the trade.
Their stock has been augmented by new arrivals during
the past two weeks, and as they believe in quick turn-
overs, it will pay buyers to look in oh them.
A DISPATCH from Buffalo, N.'Y., states that the new
.mill of Alex. Morton & Co. will be located at Echota, a
suburb of Niagara Falls, and that ground will be broken
very shortly for the new plant. ,
It is understood that the new Tapestry product of C.
H. Masland & Sons, Philadelphia, will be sold through W.
& J. Sloane, who have long been the sole agents for
Messrs. Masland's Ingrain products. The new Tapestries

B0SSOR.A.H rugs are shown for the first time this season
by Gullabi Gulbenkian & Co., of 55 Cedar street. New
York, and make an attractive addition to their stock.
They also have in stock a large assortment of Indian
carpets in choice patterns and colorings which are ready
for immediate delivery.
. . . .The Judge Brothers Estate is running about fifty of
its looms, mostly in filling duplicate orders.
....John Wanamaker will be the candidate of the
Business Men's Republican League for Governor.
. . . .Lorenzo Duncan, of T. B. Shoaff & Co., New York,
has recently been calling upon the trade in Philadelphia.
. . . .John L. Rogers, of Joseph Wild & Co., has been
calling upon the carpet men of Philadelphia within the
past fortnight.
. . . .L, Jamieson's Sons are sold far ahead in their jute
Smyrna rugs. They are just now making but one size,
hut are arranging to put in the broad looms for weaving
the regular sizes for rooms.
....James Pollock, receiver in the legal proceedings
brought by Thomas Hall against A. G. Robertson, has
filed his accounts with the court, and they show a balance
in bank over disbursements of $3,6.37.35.
. . . .The high grade Ingrains made by John Dunlap &
Son have come in for a liberal share of spring trade, and
their extensive distribution should insure good duplicates
before the season is closed.
.... Charles McKinley, who was recently a retail dealer
at Atlantic City, N. J,, has been engaged by Gimbel
Brothers to look after their contracts, &c., among the
hotels and dwelling houses along the New Jersey Coast.
. . . .John & James Dobson have a well lighted sales-
room at their new address, 1003 and 1005 Filbert street,
where their wholesale and cut order business will be car-
ried on until further decision is made regarding permanent
quarters.
....John N. Hines, who represents Thos. Caves &
Sons on the road in Pennsylvania, is also doing a whole-
sale business in carpet remnants and job lots. His sales-
room is in the building of Robt. Cleeland & Sons, 1105
Waverly street.
Chas. B. Fritz, of Fritz & La Rue, left for an ex-
tended trip to the Orient two weeks ago. He will go into
the interior of Turkey and Persia, visiting Tiflis and other
points. He will go through the rug producing districts
more thoroughly than ever before.
McCallum & McCallum have furnished a particu-
larly fine Velvet carpet for the floor of the elegant audi-
torium in the Witherspoon Building, Walnut and Juniper
streets, this city. The job was done under the supervision
of Harry Fricke, manager of McCallum & McCallum's
retail department.
.... Dickey & McMaster are running their mill at
Second and Huntingdon streets seventy hours a week,
thus making ten hours overtime each week. They have
good orders for Damasks, Venetians, Granite Ingrains and
their other specialties, and demands seem to be well distri-
buted among their entire productions.
... .J. Myer's carpet store at 1034 South street was the
scene of a small fire, the origin of which was a lighted
cigar, on the 27th ult. Loss, $10.
... .Thomas Boggs& Sons are running until 8 o'clock
p. M. in order to fill the orders on hand and are assured of
active work for the remainder of the season. They will
not take down any of their looms for removal to their
new mill until their spring orders are all completed.
. . . . H. C. Heisler returned last week from an extended
Western trip with the wide Mosaics and cut Wiltons of
John & James Dobson. Mr. Heisler met with excellent
.success in introducing the new Mosaics, having placed
them in every town visited, some of the best houses in the
trade securing the goods exclusively for their respective
cities.
.... A. B. Lovejoy, manager of John Wanamaker's car-
pet department, has just completed one of the largest
sales of Japanese and Chinese mattings ever accomplished in
Philadelphia. The mattings were displayed in the regular
carpet room, and occupied a space near the centre, meas-
uring about 160x45 feet. It took about three days to dis-
pose of the entire lot, and as it was done exclusively at
retail, it must be called an exceptionally rapid transac-
tion.
. . . .Wm. Henderson has had a satisfactory volume of
spring business without being absolutely rushed. Mr.
Henderson's goods have gone into many new hands this
season, who will find them fully up to all representations,
and even better. His Unions and Columbia Brussels —
the latter the heavy-weight weave sometimes known as
Pro-Brussels — have been in good demand. There is
nothing spurious about the productions of Mr. Henderson,
as the new customers will find out when cutting up his
goods.
.... With the opening of the active retail season the
stock of goods carried by F. G. Rogers, 1015 Filbert
street, will be particularly interesting to buyers. These
goods are all of reliable makes, having been purchased at
closing out of surplus productions, and Mr. Rogers owns
them at very much under the present market prices and is
selling them at the prices existing prior to the passage of
the new tariff. His offerings consist of Tapestries,
Velvets, Moquettes, Ingrains, Art Squares, China and
Japan mattings, rugs, oil cloth, linoleum, &c. , and it will
certainly pay to write to him for quotations.

THOS. CAVES & SONS BUY TAPESTRY LOOMS.
THE enterprise of Thos. Caves & Sons is further demon-
strated by the announcement from them that they
have purchased the Tapestry plant formerly operated by
the Cochrane Carpet Company at Maiden, Mass. This
plant consists of seventy-two looms with drums and all
other machinery necessary for making Tapestries, and the
Messrs. Caves are now busy removing it from Maiden to
the mill where they are now manufacturing their Key-
stone Velvets in Manayunk, Philadelphia. They have
leased the remainder of this mill, and will hereafter oc-
cupy the entire structure and outbuildings. The Cochrane
plant has been used for making Tapestries in the regular
way — that is, in printing the warp threads on drums,
which process will be carried on by the Messrs. Caves.
The latter have not yet decided what grades of Tapestries
they will turn out, bvit by active work they hope to have a
line of goods on the market for the fall trade.
W. T. Smith & Son have recently added ten new 9x12
Smyrna carpet looms, making fifty-five looms now
employed on this size carpet. They make this size in
various grades, as can be seen by reference to their an-
nouncement elsewhere. This firm are now operating
eleven Art Square looms and will soon add more, as their
Squares are selling up to the fullest production. Their
latest production in Art Squares — -the Pro-Brussels grade
— has come out in very handsome effects and the goods
are ready for delivery.
The following letter is from the widow of the late
lamented David O. Swire:
Philadelphia, March 8, 1898.
Mr. George E. Hamli?i, President Inier-State Casualty Com-
pany, New York :
Dear Sir — I thankfully acknowledge receipt of your company's
check for $5,000, in full and prompt payment of my claim under the
policy held by my husband, who was accidentally killed at a railroad
crossing in this city. The completed proofs in this case were sent
you on March 4, and a check was mailed from your office March 5.
I appreciate your extreme promptness, and most heartily recom-
mend your company to those seeking good insurance. Very truly
yours, Hetty W. Swire,

Their History and Manufacture.
Tapestry-Brussels and Velvet Carpeting.
(Continued from March 1 number.)
' HE salient feature of the manufacture of
Tapestry or Tapestry Brussels, and Velvet
carpeting is the printing of the pattern
on the yarn warp, thread by thread, be-
fore the carpet itself is woven on the
loom. The pattern is drawn and colored
on rule paper, just as the Body Brussels
pattern is laid out. Some years ago it was
customary to elongate the drawing in order
to allow for the loops on the surface of
the finished fabric, but this method is not
necessary now.
Next comes the first distinctive step in
Tapestry making, which is the cutting of the
Ifi'iliiiri

srif siniiinisnni ^"-^^ paper
yyinyHlHyniyyi pattern
length wi se
into several
oblong
strips, one fig. i.
of which is
shown in Fig. 1 of- the en-
gravings presented here-
with. This strip repre-
sents consecutive threads
which run lengthwise
through the entire piece of
carpet, and for the sake of
clearness in this description, these strips are shown again,
separated from each other as in Fig. 2. The number of
warp threads in a width (27 inches) of Tapestry carpeting
varies from about 180 in the low grades to 216 in ten wire
goods. Each strip of pattern paper is placed on an oblong
board, and when the dyeing of the threads represented on
it is to begin the board is taken to
the printing drum. These drums
vary in diameter in accordance
with the length of the pattern, or
sometimes the number of repeats
PiQ 3_ " in it. The drum is first covered
with an oil cloth, which is in turn
covered with white yarn, wound around it as closely as
the thread on an ordinary reel of cotton. The drum re-
volves on its axis and the man who guides its movement
has hung before him for reference one of the oblong
strips of the pattern previously mentioned. Each of
the various threads represented on the strip is desig-
nated by a number, and every color which appears
in the pattern has also a number. The drum also bears
near its edge a series of numbers and is provided with
a ratchet arrange-
ment which enables
the operator to guide
the revolution of the
drum in accordance
with the ruled
squares of color upon
the design. Under-
neath the drum is a
small carriage run-
ning on rails, and in
this carriage, which
contains a quantity
of dye, a wheel re-
volves as shown in
Fig. 3, the top of the
wheel being just high
enough to touch the
thread on the drum,
and thus cover it
with dye. The print-
er, referring to his
pattern, sees the color needed for, say, the first square in it,
and the carriage is then passed along the rails, so that the
color required is printed or ruled across the thread. Dur-
ing this operation the drum is held in place by the
ratchets, its revolution and the movement of the carriage
beneath being regulated by the printer's comparison of the
index o"n the drum with the numbers on the print board.
The width of the dyed portion of the thread does not
correspond exactly with the square or squares of the pat-
tern, some allowance being
made for the fact that the fabric
will be woven in loops like
Body Brussels. As has been
said, the loops were formerly
provided for by elongating the
design, but this had disadvan-
tages, and most manufacturers
now make the movement of the
drum answer instead, some al-
'''°' ^' lowa,nce being also made for
the stretching of the yarn when the loops are made. Fig.
4 represents the drum with the yarn wound around it,
the dark stripes showing where the dye has been ap^
plied.
The printing of the yarn on the drum is continued in the
way described until all the colors needed for the particular
thread which covers it have been applied. It was formerly
the custom for the printer to scrape the yarn with his
fingers to remove superfluous dye, but this operation is
now performed much better by a mechanical scraping de-
vice, in which a rubber substitute for a finger follows the
dying wheel in its passage across the thread.
The dyed yarn, all of which forms but a single thread
in a piece of carpeting, is then removed from the drum to
the steaming room, where it remains long enough to fix
the colors firmly, and is then allowed to dry. From the
drying room it passes to the reeling machine, which winds
it on a spool, and it is then ready for the setters, whose
ij^^

work consists in setting side by side all the pattei'n warp
threads which are to appear in the carpet when it is
finished. At one end of the setting machine are arranged
the reels or bobbins of thread, every thread in the width
of the carpet being wound on its particular bobbin, the
number of bobbins running of course from 180 to 316 . The
thread on each bobbin is pulled out and fastened to a roller
at the other end of the machine. This roller is then run
out to a certain length, the threads being thus drawn taut
side by side, like the strings of a piano, but touching each
other. Two girls, one standing at each side of the ma-
chine, then take each thread separately and move it to its
proper place, as it appears in a somewhat elongated copy
of the pattern, which is placed on the machine underneath
the threads. As a certain portion of the threads is passed
it is wound on the roller at the other end, and when the
setting process is completed the yarn on this roller is ready
to be woven in the loom. Fig. 5 shows the pattern as it
appears in the finished carpet.
Tapestry carpeting has a backing of jute yarn, and a
linen or cotton weft, which serves as a binding thread for
the loops in the printed worsted warp that forms the face,
the loops being made over wires as in the weaving of Body
Brussels. Until recently all Tapestry looms have been
subject to a serious defect, in the liability of the printed
warp to run unevenly in relation to the ground warp.
When this trouble occurs the successive '' blocks " of the
pattern are too long or short, and do not register accurately
with successive portions of the warp strands so as to secure
uniformity in the appearance of breadths, and the match-
ing of the pattern in successive breadths when placed side
by side. This difficulty has been overcome by a recent
invention which insures the accurate registry of the pattern
blocks with the other portions of the body fabric, any
irregularity which occurs being corrected by the automatic
action of an ingenious mechanism by which the tension on
the warp yarns is increased or diminished as may be neces-
sary. This device not only removes the danger of weaving
unmatchable goods, but also enables one operative to run
two looms instead of one, thus doubling or almost doub-
ling the capacity of the Tapestry loom.
Velvet carpeting is the same as Tapestry Brussels, ex-
cepting that the wire used in the weaving has a knife-like
edge which cuts open the loops as it is withdrawn and
forms a pile surface as in Wilton carpeting. Velvet car-
pets also resemble Wiltons in the fact that more yarn is
used for the pile than is considered necessary when the
loops are not to be cut as in Body Brussels.
(To be continued.)
The new Wilton rugs to be brought out by the
Worcester Carpet Company for fall trade will interest all
dealers, as they will be shown in sizes and effects to meet
a demand which is constantly increasing for this class of
goods.
The East Indian Manufacturing Company have made
a contract with the State of Maryland, whereby they are
now manufacturing cocoa mats and matting by convict
labor in the Baltimore penitentiary. They have removed
all the hand and power machinery from the factory
formerly occupied in Brooklyn, and are utilizing it in the
penitentiary .
STAIR PADS AND LININGS.
THE spring retail season brings the best demand for stair
pads and carpet linings, and M. H. Marcus & Brother,
115 Worth street, New York, are well prepared with stock
to meet the wants of buyers. They make the popular
round nose Adjustable pad as well as flat quilted pads of
all grades, and in cotton filled carpet lining they can sup-
ply goods in quality and price to suit the closest buyers.
A CAPITAL INVENTION.
HAVING won wide recognition as a public benefactor, the
inventor of the Knapp rubber binding has added a
new claim to fame by devising a rubber nosing to be used
on stair nosings where linoleum, oil cloth, rubber or car-
pet plates are used on the tread. They are reversible,
noiseless and prevent slipping. They are made in 6-4 and
8-4 lengths, which can be had in cut sizes 18, 22)4, 37, 36,
PATTERN B.'
45, 54, and 72 inches, at a very reasonable price, with a
trade discount which allows a liberal margin of profit to
the retailer The invention seems certain to produce a
revolution in the treatment of stairs in public buildings,
apartment houses and other places where there is anything
like a large amount of travel. The advantages in point
of economy, cleanliness and safety will be apparent from a
glance at the illustration herewith presented. Write to
the Knapp Rubber Binding Company, 335 Broadway,
New York, for samples and prices.
The new lines of Pro-Brussels, Ingrains, Damask and
Venetian stairs, &c. , shown by the James Hall Carpet
Company, Lehigh avenue and Front street, Philadelphia,
have made an excellent impression in the trade, and the
company have reason to be well satisfied with the demand
for them. The Pro-Brussels have proved a decided
success, and the Granite Ingrains have also found wide
and prompt appreciation. The line of Ingrains includes
C. C.'s half wool Unions, and 8, 9 and 10 pair Cottons.
See the company's advertisement on page 105 of this issue.
That Thos. Develon's Sons' pi'oductions are growing
in popularity has been particularly demonstrated this sea-
son. The distribution of their goods has been satisfactory
and the duplicates should keep them well employed
throughout the rest of the season. It is not surprising
that goods so attractive in pattern and varied in assort-
ment should find a ready market, especially with the un-
qualified guarantee of quality always given by this firm.
The Bagaria Wilton Ingrains, shown for the first time this
season, met with instant success, and have evidently found
a permanent place in the favor of the trade.

good trade.
Mr. Rosenthal, of Rosenthal & Brownlie, who have just
dissolved partnership, is at the Great Northern Hotel.
He is looking about for an office here.
Manager Litt, of Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co.'s wholesale
carpet department, says the cut order department which

amount of business done.
It is rumored that John & James Dobson will cover
Chicago and the western territory from their home oiifice
n Philadelphia after the expiration of their present con-
tract with Evoy & Flanigan in May next.
Fire in the Rehm Building, at Monroe and Market
streets, last night caused $800 damage by water to the
stock of Henry Noee & Co., who occupy the second floor
with a stock of cut carpets. The loss is covered by
insurance.
A. C. Frost, carpet salesman for Carson, Pirie, Scott &
Co.'s wholesale department who disappeared some time
ago while on a trip for the firm in Kansas, committed sui-
cide in St. Louis a few days ago. The remains were
buried here, where Mr. Frost leaves a widow. He was at
one time in the employment of Marshall Field & Co.
The new Hartman Furniture and Carpet Company's
store at 225 and 327 Wabash avenue was formally opened
a few days ago. There were music, potted plants, decora-
tions galore and all the usual accessories of such affairs.
The building is 60x200 feet and four stories high, and
$40,000 are said to have been spent in altering and re-
building it. In the basement are shown clocks, lamps,
china and glassware, stoves, baby carriages, &c. On the
first floor is a general line of furniture, the carpet and
curtain departments take up the second, parlor furniture
and upholstered goods, hall trees, &c., are shown on the
third, and brass and iron bedsteads, chamber suites,
dressing tables, &c., take up the fourth. The building is
equipped with elevators, electric lights and all other
modern improvements.
Marshall Field & Co., of this city, have issued orders
that their buyers shall refrain from purchasing and order-
ing goods in large quantities during the present national
crisis, and that they shall buy only in such quantities as
trade demands. Similar orders have been given in other
mercantile houses in this city. Col. Henry L. Turner, a
prominent business man of the city, and commander of
the First Infantry, Illinois National Guard, said that the
business interests of the city were becoming paralyzed
because of the uncertainty of the situation. He also is
authority for the statement that many of the small interior
banks throughout the Northwest are withdrawing their
deposits from the city banks. Otherwise money is easy,
the crisis being felt only in ordinary business. R. H. H.
■IB OBITUARY NOTES. ^^
William H. De Rouville, dealer in carpets and wall
paper, Albany, N. Y., died in that city on the 11th inst.,
at the age of sixty- three years. He leaves a widow, two
sons and four daughters.
The mercantile agencies announce the deaths of R. W.
Allen, of R. W. Allen & Co., Lafayette, Ala. ; J. S. Hill,
of Hill & Helsley, Central City, Ky. ; Bernard Luce, of
Luce Brothers, Vineyard Haven, Mass.
William Kessler, who had been connected with the
carpet department in Robert Frazer's dry goods store at
Utica, N. Y. , since April, 1893, died on February 25, after
a brief illness. He was born in Utica and was thirty-one
years of age.
Vincent A. Keith, brother of Robert Keith, of the
Keith Furniture and Carpet Company, Kansas City, died
suddenly on the 4th inst. of heart disease. He was born
in Lexington, Mo., forty-seven years ago, and made that
his home until twelve years ago, when he went to Kansas
City. For a few years he was connected with his brother
in the furniture business, but later he entered the employ
of the Swoflford Brothers Dry Goods Company.
THE CLAFLIN COMPANY'S CARPET DEPARTMENT.
THE most compact commercial concern in this country
probably is the H. B. Claflin Company, and there is
no department of the house which is working more clev-
erly toward great results than that devoted to carpets.
Although started late in the season, the cut order de-
partment already has over 100 lines out, and even thus
early the orders are coming in with gratifying frequency.
The Oriental carpet and rug branch of the business has
grown to such proportions that Manager Winters will send
Mr. Beatty to Constantinople on the 23d of this month
to establish direct importation of these goods, and pro-
poses to push this department with the utmost vigor.
Another buyer will speedily follow to China and Japan in
the interest of the matting trade of the house.
The business of the department has been excellent dur-
ing the past fortnight, and has brought the average of the
month up to the standard of the January trade, which was
exceptionally good.
J. F. Hanson is running his 3,600 spindle mill at Cor-
dele, Ala., on double time, making carpet yarn.
A LARGE factory is to be built for the Dunlap Carpet
Company at Fifty-sixth street and Lancaster avenue, Phil-
adelphia. The mill will be of brick, one story high and
will be 100x310 feet.
Everyone ought to have an accident insurance policy.
The cost is moderate and the argument for carrying an
accident policy is as strong or stronger than for life insur-
ance. The Inter-State Casualty Company provides indem-
nity for partial as well as total disablement, and gives cash
dividends to a continuous policy holder after five years. It
is especially the carpet man's company, as its president is
George E. Hamlin, the former big carpet jobber. Send to
31 Nassau street, New York, for pamphlets and particulars.

COSTIKYAN FRERES' ORIENTAL RUGS.
ON page 77 of this issue Costikyan Freres, the exten-
sive importers of Oriental rugs, call attention to
their especially large and attractive offerings, comprising
Turkish, Persian and other Oriental rugs and carpets in
an immense variety of sizes and styles.
To make room for their greatly increased stock and to
allow it to be displayed to better advantage the Messrs.
Costikyan have enlarged their premises at 139 Broadway,
New York, by leasing an additional floor in this build-
ing. Buyers have therefore excellent facilities now for
examining conveniently a stock of rugs and carpets which
will well repay the inspection of the most exacting han-
dler of such goods.

A NEW COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION.
XPORTERS, steamship agents and
others interested in the foreign
trade of the port of New York,
held a meeting at the Produce
Exchange, this city, on the 7th
ult., when an association was
formed with the following title :
' Association for the Advance-
ment of the Interests of the
Port of New York." Thomas
A. Mclntyre, of Mclntyre &
Wardwell, president of the
Brooklyn Wharf and Ware-
house Company, was chosen president; Vincent Loeser,
treasurer, and Lenro H. Spence, secretary. Among the
vice-presidents chosen was Chas. S. Smith, of Smith,
Hogg& Gardner. John Claflin, of the H. B. Claflin Com-
pany, was appointed as a member of the committee on
enlargement of canals, and Oscar S. Straus, of R. H.
Macy & Co., was made one of the members of the com-
mittee on port and terminal changes.
The objects of the association are: "The preservation,
extension and development of the business interests of the
port of New York, as affected by her avenues of com-
munication and transportation from and to the West, by
the condition of the harbor and its approaches, by the
regulations governing the traffic of the port and by other
considerations directly connected with the city of New
York as a commercial port." Any person actively inter-
ested in the welfare of the port of New York may become
a member of the association.
NEW THREAD COMPANY.
AT Trenton, N. J., on the 10th inst., were filed articles
of incorporation of the American Thread Company,
with a capital of J|12,000,000. The company will manu-
facture cotton fabrics and other manufactured goods com-
posed of these materials . It will buy, grow and prepare
raw materials and manufacture its own blocks, spools,
bobbins, boxes, tickets, labels, wrappers, show cards, tools
and other appliances. The stock is divided into 2,400,000
shares, each having a par value of $5. Half the stock is
common and half preferred. The preferred stock is to
bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. The incorporators
are Peter Lowe, Charles N. King and Ernest F, Charles,
of Jersey City.
The Scranton Pa., Tribune said in a recent issue:
" Since the deal with a Philadelphia carpet firm has fallen
through. Board of Trade officials have been engaged in
negotiations with other carpet people to establish a plant
on the Tripp addition. Their efforts seem likely to meet
with success. There will come here next week represen-
tatives of a large carpet concern prepared to give a bond
to erect a mill, if ground and other facilities are furnished
them, and they approve of this city's inducements. The
firm is well quoted. Further information could not be
obtained from Secretary Atherton, of the Board of Trade,
yesterday."
CHARLES J. MENTRUP.
CHARLES J. Mentrup, HOW One of the best known men
in the New York and Brooklyn trade, began life as an
office boy in B. M. Cowperthwait & Co's establishment, in
Chatham square,
in this city, in 1882,
where he remained
for a year. He
then went to
the Cowperthwait
Company, of
Brooklyn, where
he was in the
counting room.
In 1885 he went
on the floor as a
salesman, and by
eight years of ser-
vice won his spurs
and was promoted
to the charge of
the carpet depart-
ment. For three
years past he has been buyer and manager for the carpet
department of the Cowperthwait Company, of Brooklyn,
and Cowperthwait & Co. , in West Fourteenth street. New
York. In January last he became also buyer for the
Oriental rug department of the Geo. C. Flint Company, of
Twenty-third street. New York. Mr. Mentrup was born
in Brooklyn thirty-two years ago and was graduated from
St. John's College

NEW JERSEY CORPORATION LAW.
A MEASURE pending in the New Jersey State Senate pro-
vides for some important changes in the corporation
law of that State. The most important provision is one
intended to prevent stockholders in New Jersey corpora-
tions being assessed on such holdings as personal property
when the same stock is assessed by the State in bulk.
This provision applies to residents of New York or other
States as well as stockholders who live in New Jersey.
The bill prohibits the practice of cumulative voting at
elections of directors, &c., and prohibits also the incorpo-
ration of any company with a capital stock for beginning
business of less than $1,000, or a total authorized capital
stock of less than $2,000.
The Lewis Batting Company, of Walpole, Mass., is
making the spring edge carpet lining, invented by C. C.
Stewart, of Philadelphia, and it is now being brought
before the trade.
The Goshen Sweeper Company, Grand Rapids, Mich.,
has issued a new price list embodying substantial reduc-
ings in prices, and announces that it will also offer this
season a full line of broom-action sweepers, as well as the
well-known and popular cam-action sweepers. The officers
of the reorganized Goshen Sweeper Company are C. C.
Comstock, president; John Mowat, vice-president; H. J.
Bennett, secretary and treasurer.

SUPERIOR JAPANESE RUGS.
spi'iE the increased cost of Japanese rugs
through the new tariff, E. T. Mason &
Co. find their high class goods as popular
as ever and are bringing out a large assort-
ment of new designs, which will be ready
for delivery in two weeks. Their ex-
clusive specialties are the Taikio rugs, made in a heavy
pile fabric and fast colors in the prevailing shades of
decoration. The colors in these rugs are the result of
long experimenting with new dyes, by which a method has
been discovered of making the colors hold. They show a
large assortment of blue and white and green and white
rugs in all sizes.
The Inja carpet is an all wool fabric similar to Turkish
and Persian rugs in weave and pattern, the designs being
reproductions of choice and rare Turkish and Persian
goods.
In Japanese matting the firm are offering special in-
ducements in lots. Buyers are assured that the prices and
character of the goods will attract them.
A large shipment of rugs has recently arrived per the
Sikh which are ready for immediate deliver)'.
W. & J. SLOANE.
THE olTerings of W. & J. Sloane are of course an excep-
tionally important factor in the trade of every season,
and to the present one this remark applies with special
force. The lines shown' include the product of the
Alexander Smith & Sons Carpet Company's immense
mills, comprising Savonnerie, Axminster, Gobelin,
Moquette, Velvet and Tapestry carpeting, and Moquette
and Axminster rugs.
The great variety of other offerings of W. & J. Sloane
includes the very extensive lines of Ingrains and Art
Squares manufactured by C. H. Masland & Sons, com-
prising a wide range of weaves and grades ; the popular
Smyrna" rugs and carpets made by McCleary, Wallin &
Grouse; the Nairn linoleums, and the R. H. & B. G. Reeve
Company's floor oil cloths, for all of which goods W. & J.
Sloane are sole selling agents.
They show also an immense line of Chinese and Japan-
ese mattings of their own importation, and they are large
manufacturers of cocoa matting and mats.
With such exceptional and exclusive attractions for buy-
ers, it is not surprising that W. & J. Sloane have good
reason to be satisfied with the trade of the season so far.
W. Cooper & Son, 32 North Fourth street, Philadelphia,
are well and favorably known in the trade as manufacturers
of a very desirable line of sample trunks and cases. The
Messrs. Cooper make matting trunks to order. See
their advertisement on page 104 of this issue.
The sweepers manufactured by the King Carpet Sweeper
Company, Grand Rapids, Mich., have substantial merits
that have been quickly appreciated by the trade, as is
shown clearly by the large and constantly increasing de-
mand for them. Write to the manufacturers for a cata-
logue and prices.
SAN FRANCISCO SAYINGS.
The furniture trade is not getting on to its feet quite as rapidly as
people thought that it would with the approach of spring, but it is
reported that the demand runs toward a better class of goods, which
shows that an improvement cannot be so
San Francisco, very far off. This State was visited by
a rain last week, which means many
March S, thousands of dollars on the credit side of
California's ledger, and reports from the
country are very encouraging. The farmers were beginning to
feel quite disheartened, as it certainly did look for a while as though
the crops would be a total failure owing to the lack of rain. Up to
the present date the total season's rainfall is just one-third that of
last year.
Grant Cook will open a furniture store at Healdsburg, Cal.
William Worstelt, of Wallace, Idaho, has gone into the furniture
business at Wardner, that State.
Schlueter & Volberg report the shade business as very good.
Their linoleum trade may also be said to be active.
Alex. Mackay & Son are receiving their regular spring goods and
other necessities of trade. This house reports trade a little quiet.
E. C. Bast, the Los Angeles, Cal., furniture dealer, who was re-
cently sent to the asylum on a charge of insanity, has been released.
Judging from the large number of Turkish rug auction sales being
carried on in this city, one would be led to believe that a great many
Oriental rugs are being sold.
W. G. Barr, the carpet dealer, will remove from 240 Sutter street
to No. 227 of the same street on April 1. The new store is in the
New Central Block, and is a commodious one.
Quite a number of furniture factory travelers, principally from
Chicago, have been in this city for several weeks past, and judging
from reports they have met with their usual success.
The Emporium furniture department is running along in its
usual manner, with nothing special to report other than that trade is
very fair, and that this department holds its own with others in the
big department store.
D. R. Edwards, of the Curtin Furniture Company, and P.
Weidenbaker, formerly of French & Weidenbaker, will open a store
this month at Great Falls, Mon. Mr. Edwards will still retain his
interest in the Curtin store, however, and the new place will be
looked after by Mr. Weidenbaker.
A peculiar damage suit has been instituted in Oakland, Cal.
A. H. Lindquist has sued the Marine Engineers' Benefit Associa-
tion and Thomas Searey, of the Searey Furniture Company, for
$10,000. He alleges that a roll of carpet was thrown from the de-
fendants' premises, on Mission street, San Franscisco, which struck
him on the head, with serious consequences. The carpet was being
handled by Searey's employees. Golden Gate.
CHADURJIAN BROTHERS' ORIENTAL RUGS.
CHADURjiAN Brothers, the well-known and extensive
importers of Oriental rugs and carpets, present
especially strong attractions to buyers in the large stock
they have now on view at their New York salesroom, 369
Broadway. Besides an immense assortment of rugs and
carpets, both modern and antique, in which all the im-
portant styles of the Orient are represented, the Messrs.
Chadurjian show a very desirable line of Bagdad portieres
of their own manufacture, comprising a wide range of
designs and sttbdued colors which must be seen to be ap-
preciated.
Chadurjian Brothers rank especially high among import-
ers of rugs, and their connections and facilities in the
Orient enable them to interest strongly every handler of
such goods. They also carry a stock with C. A. Au£f-
mordt & Co., 33 and 35 Greene street.

LINOLEUM ON CEMENT FLOORS.
T is not advisable to lay lino-
leum on solid cement floors
such as are often used in
public buildings. The solid
cement floors g-enerally
contain still more or less
moisture when the linoleum
is to be laid, as it is a fact
that cement attracts mois-
ture in damp weather and
gives it off when the air is
dry. Furthermore, cement is a cold underlay. The dis-
advantages of linoleurn lying on a damp underlay are not
slight. Mould ensues, which causes unpleasant odors and
gradually has a destructive effect on the linoleum, although
the back is waterproof. These difficulties are obviated if
a plastering of gypsum is used instead of the cement.
The gypsum attracts the moisture contained in the
concrete without giving it oft" again, and furnishes a
beautiful, smooth, dry and warm flooring. In order to
obtain a good gypsum wash floor, the concrete floors are
only leveled, without being smoothed. If all the work in
the different rooms is finished, so that only the laying of the
linoleum remains, the concrete floors are made even with
a thin layer of gypsum ; then they are dried sufficiently
and finally covered with linoleum. A padding of paste-
board is now frequently employed. The same serves for
the purpose of dampening the sound and for warmth, as
well as for a protection against a wearing off of the pattern.
But in no case is it advisable to use this padding on cement
plaster floors. One should be sure, before laying the
linoleum, that the pasteboard is completely dry. Besides,
the edges of the linoleum must fit together so exactly that
scouring water cannot get through. The same possibility
must be excluded along the skirting boards, as other dis-
advantages may ensue. It is furthermore advisable to
provide the .skirting boards with a groove or to fix them
the thickness of the linoleum higher on the wall, whereby
the laying of the linoleum is facilitated. It is also well to
wipe the linoleum after it is laid, but before use, once or
twice a week with clear cold water. During or after the
wiping the windows should be opened. It cannot be re-
commended to rub the linoleum with oil. The oil applied
to the surface would combine with the dirt and soon give
a black, dirty surface to the covering. Waxing is also
valueless. It is absolutely disadvantageous to paste the
linoleum down entirely, as it is better in every way if it
lies loose; the paste is saved and any small repairs that
may arise will not necessitate the destruction of the whole
covering. As regards the conservation of linoleum when
stored, it must be observed that the dirt must be first re-
moved before the linoleum is rubbed with oil and the latter
must be spread apart well.
The Massasoit Manufacturing Company, Fall River,
Mass , are well known in the trade as the manufacturers
of W. E. Turner's popular quilted, interlaced stair pads,
which are for sale by all jobbers. See the company's
advertisement on page 106 of this issue. These pads should
be represented in the stock of every dealer.
A Question of Shortage.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March 7, 1898,
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review;
We would like to hear from the retailers of the country regarding
Ingrain yardage. We have been investigating the matter by meas-
uring six rolls of four standard makes of Ingrains, with the follow-
ing result: Of the twenty-four rolls, four overran from one-quarter
to three-quarters of a yard, six barely held out, and fourteen were
short from a quarter of a yard tol}4 yards.
With the known disposition of Ingrains to "creep" after being
once unrolled, there is, as we figure it, a direct loss of yardage of
from 1 to 4 yards on every roll of Ingrain we cut up. It used to be
the case that Ingrain carpets would overrun from 2 to 5 yards per
roll, which was right, as it is an impossibility to get by hand measure
the yardage indicated by power measuring machines.
We believe, if the matter was investigated, that retailers would find
that they are not getting paid for what they pay for.
Our measurements were made by three very competent, close
measurers, and their measurements did not vary one-half yard per
roll. Yours truly.

THE PROPOSED NIAGARA FALLS MILLS.
THE Buffalo (N. Y.) Courier in a recent issue said:
"Alexander Morton & Co., of Scotland, have signed
a contract with the Niagara Falls Power Company for
power, and will locate a factory in the vicinity of the
Falls. The company is one of the largest manufacturers
in the world of carpets, draperies and curtains, and the
product of its factories is largely imported into this
country.
" Just as to what extent this company will go into man-
ufacturing here, or the amount of power contracted for,
it is impossible to learn, as the officials of the Power Com-
pany are very reticent concerning the particulars.
"Alexander Morton, the head of the Scotch firm, was
in this city last fall as the guest of J. N. Adams. While
here he was shown Niagara Falls, and visited the power
house. Mr. Morton was said to be very favorably im-
pressed at that time with the power, and its possibilities
for manufacturing, and the signing of this contract is the
result of that visit.
" It is said that there is another large concern that is to
locate at the Falls in a short time, but the power people
refuse to mention the facts concerning the company."
Good's rotary carpet cleaning machine enables carpet
and upholstery goods dealers to add a very profitable
branch to their business at little cost. Write to F. H.
Good, 942 and 944 North Ninth street, Philadelphia, for
particulars. They will interest any dealer.

gives an idea of the facility with which curves and irregu-

have been impossible with the old-fashioned metal binding.
T~HE following advertisement came under the notice of
C. N. Head in a daily paper:
TF SICK SEND A LOCK OF YOUR HAIR, NAME, AGE,
-*- sex and 4 cents postage, and I will diagnose your case and tell
you what will cure your ailments. Address. . . .Medical Institute.
Whereupon he cut from the coat of his favorite Newfound-
land dog named Friar Tuck a handsome lock of glossy
black hair and mailed with the 4 cents in stamps in a let-
ter reading :
"Inclosed find lock of hair for diagnosis. Name, F.
Tucker; sex, male; age, middle age." The answer came
back with business-like promptness on an imposing letter
head, as follows:
Dictated by Dr. .
Scientific diagnosis of F. Tucker:
Your liver is not active and your tongue is coated, and you have
faulty digestion and dizziness and headaches, and at times rheu-
matic symptoms. Also nervous debility and weak condition of the
kidneys and sexual system. . . . Our magnetic powders and Sexual
Pills willcure you. The cost of the medicine for one month is S3.
This diagnosis is free. Return this letter with your order for medi-
cine. Yours truly, Dr. .
Friar Tuck's tongue, like that of most dogs, is coated,
yet he steadily refuses to take the sexual pills.
W/e mentioned in our last issue the fact that Joseph
Hynes, who was formerly with W. & J. Sloane, is
now private secretary to Commissioner McCartney, head
of the Street Cleaning Department. Mr. Hynes entered
the service of the Cunard Steamship Company as a boy,
became ticket agent and then secretary to one of the offi-
cers of the company. While there he naturally met many
prominent men, and on one occasion became acquainted
with Chauncey M. Depew and John Sloane. The latter
took a liking to him, and engaged him as secretary for
Henry T. Sloane and Rudolph Scherer, of the California
house. Afterward he held various positions traveling on
the road, and was finally assistant to the manager in New
York. He is a member of the Tammany Hall General
Committee.
A predecessor of his in W. & J. Sloane's, John Hynes — no
relative, however — left the house to go into the office of
Butler, Stillman & Hubbard, where he studied law, and
was admitted to the bar. He is now understood to be
slated for a position in the Corporation Counsel's office.
He is also a member of the Tammany General Committee
Whatever may be thought of Tammany Hall by its oppo-
nents, its discipline is simply superb. When it gets hold
of a bright man who is loyal and serviceable it rewards his
work.
W/hile the Spanish warship Vizcaya lay in New York
harbor, the Cowperthwait Company, of Brooklj-n, re-
ceived an order for 230 yards of linoleum, 70 yards of car-
pet, with mats, rugs, &c. , the whole bill amounting to
about $500. The order was received at noon with instruc-
tions that the goods be laid the following day. At 5 p. m.
word came that the job must be completed the same
night. The linoleum had to be brought from the Ameri-
can Linoleum Company's works on Staten Island. Spe-
cial trucks were brought into service, the goods hauled to
Tompkinsville, where a tug with the layers met them and
started for the Vizcaya.
They reached the ship at 10 o'clock at night prepared to
do the work. Unfortunately none of the officers of the
watch could speak English, and the Cowperthwait Com-
pany's interpreter was not on hand. The upholsterers
were therefore obliged to go ashore and spend the night.
During the time one of them learned enough Spanish by
reading cigar box labels to be able to explain the next
morning that they were not pirates, and that linoleum, if
properly handled, was not dangerous. They were there-
fore allowed to come on board early the next morning and
finished the job in short order. As the last tacks were
being driven the big anchors were being weighed, and as
the men stepped aboard the tug the ship started on her
way to Havana.
\ s early as 1815 merchants were endeavoring to discover
some effective method of collecting bad debts. The
most novel plan was that adopted by Joseph Kendrick, of
Bangor, Me. In the November 15 issue of the Register,
of that town, he advertised as follows:
JOSEPH KENDRICK informs some of his old customers that he
has on hand an assortment of FANCY GOODS, such as are
generally made use of in the market, consisting of Notes and
Accounts, which he offers on as good terms as can be purchased in
this town, if applied for soon; and as they have laid on hand a long
time, if there is not an immediate call for them, he is determined to
eraplov a sheriff to carry them from house to house and peddle them
out. in that case he cannot insure them to come so reasonable.
Mardwood floors grow more popular each year, and of
these the " endwood " mosaic is the most beautiful
as well as the most durable. The sanitary advantages
and beauty of hardwood floors have been so well demon-
strated that many of the handsomest homes in New York
have not a square inch of carpet within them and use only
rugs as floor coverings. Ten years ago wide borders and
fancy centres were the style; now the floor is laid in plain
squares, and small rugs, not large ones, are the rule. Li
Hung Chang was so taken with the hardwood floors of
New York that one of his suite arranged with a manufac-
turer here to fill some orders for China.

THE BIG AUCTION SALE.
reminded that the auction
sale of the entire stock of
John & James Dobson,
which was saved from the
fire in their Philadelphia
wholesale and retail es-
tablishment, will occur
on the 24th inst. , com-
mencing at 10 o'clock on
that date, and continuing
on each day until the goods are all sold. Everything to
be sold will be found in the lofts at 364 and 366 Broadway,
New York, on March 22 and 23, the two days prior to
the sale, when the catalogues will also be ready. It is
suggested that buyers should inspect the stock on the 22d
and 23d insts., so as to be able to check the lots they
desire to bid upon. This will be the largest sale of salvage
carpets ever held. The Underwriters' Salvage Company
have received several offers for the whole or a part of the
stock, but have decided to sell the goods only at auction,
hence the trade will find that everything saved from the
fire will be offered at this sale. The announcement of the
auctioneers will be found in this issue, and states that the
stock consists of 11,000 rolls, half rolls and pieces of all
kinds of carpets and mattings, the value of the same before
the fire being over $600,000. It will evidently pay buyers
from out of town to make a special trip to New York to
attend this sale.
Exports of straw matting from Hong Kong and Canton
to the United States during the period beginning June 20,
1897, and ending January 14, 1898, amounted to 180,433
rolls.
As previously noted in The Review, the Alexander
Smith & Sons' Carpet Company has had in use for some
months in its Tapestry mill the matching mechanism
invented by Alexander Clapperton, of Yonkers, N. Y., and
the E. S. Higgins Company has recently begun to use the
device also in Tapestry manufacture, under a royalty
arrangement with the inventor.
At New Haven, Conn., on the 10th inst., Judge Town-
send, of the United States Circuit Court, sustained the
Board of General Appraisers, who held that the Dingley
Tariff Act did not go into effect until signed by the Presi-
dent on July 24, 1897. The board had reversed a decision
of the Collector of the Port holding that the act went into
force at the beginning of the day.
The supreme position occupied by Philip Doerr & Sons'
Ingrains has been forcibly demonstrated this season. With
advanced prices and the strong competition of underpriced
offerings the firm have been able to run their mill fully up
to this month, and the looms are still nearly all occupied.
Dealers who have handled the Doerr Ingrains well know
that there is no argument in quoting that other goods are
offered at lower prices. They realize that the only com-
parison is with the best makes in the market, and that
experience in retailing the goods proves them to be worth
every iota of the price paid.
NEW MAKE OF INLAID LINOLEUM.
ANEW accomplishment in domestic maniifacture is about
ready for the market. The Geo. VV. Blabon Com-
pany are showing perfected samples of inlaid linoleum
and have some of the goods made up. To attain this cul-
mination they have been experimenting with different
kinds of machinery and methods for the past four or five
years, being determined not to put inlaid linoleum on the
market until they had proved their ability to produce an
article of the very highest standard in construction and
finish.
To reach this point has involved an immense outlay of
money, for they practically threw away one machinery
plant after deciding to employ another and superior
method of manufacture. They have gone on the principle
of making haste slowly, and have not offered their goods
until every point of criticism which could arise had been
satisfied in their judgment at least.
The Blabon inlaid linoleum is made with serrated
joints; that is, the inlaid pieces are joined in slightly zigzag
instead of straight lines, the idea being to secure the
greatest integral adhesion both on the surface and to the
canvas foundation. In the treating of the cork mash the
Blabon Company have also introduced new features which
aim to improve the solidity of the completed cloth. Six
patterns are now shown and may be seen at the company's
salesrooms in Philadelphia and New York.
The first shipment was made to the Trorlicht, Duncker
& Renard Carpet Company, of St. Louis, last week. It
was not intended to deliver any of the goods for this
season, but Captain Duncker wanted to use the newinlaids
on a special contract, and the Blabon Company consented
to deliver a few pieces for that purpose.
NOTABLE OFFERINGS IN SMYRNA RUGS.
THE lines of Smyrna rugs manufactured by McCIeary,
Wallin & Crouse have proved a great success, a fact
very creditable to the technical skill and good judgment of
this firm. McCIeary, Wallin & Crouse evidently under-
stand the wants of the trade in Smyrnas, and have every
facility required for meeting these demands perfectly and
promptly. See their advertisement on page 11 of this
issue.
On page 96 of this issue, F. G. Rogers, 1015 Filbert
street, Philadelphia, offers some special bargains to the
trade, among which are all wool Extra-Supers, Pro-
Brussels, C. C. Extra-Supers, all wool Art Squares and
China and Japan mattings. These goods are offered at es-
pecially low prices and are ready for immediate delivery.
Write to Mr. Rogers for further particulars.
The Columbia Wood Novelty Company, which has re-
moved from Chicago to Buchanan, Mich., manufactures
wood carpets and parquetry flooring. In the manufacture
of parquet floors it has introduced several new features,
taking four pieces, gluing them together in such a manner
as to shov/ the perfect grain of the wood. The flooring is
easy to put down, and saves a great deal of work. The
concern is already receiving orders from a large number
of places.

public with all the latest and most costly furniture and
furnishings made expressly for it, it is a hotel which is now
the pride of its citizens, and worthy of the patronage of
the highest class of guests. Those who require the best
possible attention to be found can secure accommodations
here that few other houses can offer. It is noted through-
out the entire country for its bright and cheerful halls and
corridors, its large and well lighted rooms, all newly fur-

nished and decorated in the highest art, and its extra large
sample rooms for the accommodation of the commercial
trade. This hotel is the headquarters for the furniture,
carpet and upholstery trade, besides being headquarters
for all large conventions that assemble there. During the
past four months the office and corridors have been com-
pletely remodeled, in fact, rebuilt, all the woodwork
being removed. The only material used was metallic
lathing, iron and marble.
The Denison caters only to the best class of patronage.
The hotel was built on a generous foundation, nearly all
the rooms being supplied with bath, dressing rooms, pri-
vate parlors, and comfortable and home-like arrange-
ments generally. A guest once quartered here always
returns. At great expense, the fireplaces have all been
removed, and steam heat is now supplied to every room in
the house. Fire hose is on every floor, vi^hich connect with
large fire pumps in the engine room should they be re-
quired. In fact, there is not a fire in the entire building.
The Erwin Hotel Company is the proprietor, the presi-
dent of which is Mr. D. P. Erwin, of D. P. Erwin & Co.,
one of the most progressive and enterprising citizens of
Indianapolis. The management of the Denison is in the
hands of Mr. T. J. Cullen, who has long been identified
with it, and the success it has attained has been largely
due to his personal care of the guests. Should the weary
traveler ever have the good fortune to go to this beautiful
city he will find rest and comfort at this popular hotel,
which is one of the best appointed in America.
W. T. SMITH & SON.
OME interesting and pertinently
illustrated advice to the trade
will be found in the advertise-
tisementof W. T. Smith & Son
on the colored sheet opposite
page 21- of this issue.
The Messrs. Smith's extensive
offerings in Smyrna carpets and
rugs and Art Squares have
found a quick market among the
dealers, as was to have been
expected, for the lines are the
finest and most attractive ever
produced in the factories of W. T. Smith & Son, which
rank among the largest and most thoroughly equipped
Smyrna and Art Square mills in this country.
The firm's lines of chenille, tapestry and lace curtains
and chenille and tapestry covers form another highly im-
portant factor in their business, for they show in these
goods an immense assortment of choice and quick selling
patterns, which no buyer should fail to see.
C. M. BAILEY'S SONS & CO.
THE old established floor oil cloth firm of C. M. Bailey's
Sons & Co opened the season with an exceptionally
extensive line of new and standard patterns in all the
well-known and popular grades manufactured in its fac-
tories, and the line has been promptly appreciated by
buyers throughout the country. It is on view at the New
York store of the firm, 81 Walker street, where Messrs.
John Bailey, Wilson Schwarz and Willard C. Hawk have
their headquarters, and at the Philadelphia salesroom, 419
Arch street, where Mr. D. G. White is in charge.
The wide Mosaic or seamless Velvet carpets of John &
James Dobson are now made in six colorings, a new green,
designated as " Green 37," having been added to the pre-
vious line of crimson, blue, green, sage and old rose. The
product of the goods is being well taken up.
Albert Graff, of Albert Graff & Co., the Philadelphia
carpet and matting wholesalers, is now in Japan, having
completed his business in China. He will sail from
Yokohama on the 33rd inst., per the Coptic and will reach
Philadelphia about April 15. The firm are landing
this week large invoices of mattings purchased by Mr.
Graff, which include a splendid assortment of all grades.
They offer the goods at particularly low prices and can in-
terest the largest users of mattings. Mr. Graft"'s mission
in China and Japan was to buy goods at under regular
prices, and that he has accomplished his object is demon-
strated by the close figures quoted on the goods which
have just arrived. Albert Graff & Co. also have a big
line of Tapestriesof the best makes, which were purchased
at manufacturers' surplus sales and which they quote at a
big discount from the present manufacturers' prices. It
should be remembered that they can deliver these goods
immediately from their warehouse, 609 Chestnut street,
Philadelphia.
The Cas.pet ast> Upholsteey Trade Review.
TREATING FLOORS FOR RUGS AND CARPETS.
xy faToriie methods of increas-
ing the beauty of a room are to
stain and polish its floor, and
strew rugs about; but this same
floor often becomes a thorn in
the flesh of the inexperienced
housewife. In average houses
the boards of the floors are, to
say the least of it, not at all in
a at condition; that is to say,
they are generally uneven, and
mostly badly fitted together.
This misiit is a fault of which householders have a right to
complaii:, for it is detrimental to health, and incompatible
with comfort. If, then, it is decided, either on account
of health, enonomy or appearance, not to have a carpet
laid down all over the floor, the first thing to do is to have
the boards attended to. If the cracks are large, they
should be filleted with thin strips of wood ; if only small,
they may be filled in with putty, which, when hard, can
be painted over, and will look like the wood. All uneven-
ness must be planed off, and then the staining process
may be begun. It is absolutely imperative not to Irorry
the operation ; both the stain and the varnish must have
plenty of opportunity to dry before the room is used, or
all the work will be in vain. This filleting, or filling in, of
spaces is imtxjrtant, for it does away with one more harbor
for dust, flies, &c.
The simplest trea-rceni is as follows: When a thor-
ougiily smooth surface has "oeen secured, let the floor be
well scrubbed, and then left to dry, after whicb either of
the two following processes can be carried out — they are
both equally good : Put on one or two coats of size, re-
membering that the subsequent success of the staining
and varnishing will greatly depend on the careful applica-
tion of this. 2Cext -ass the ordinary oak stain, light or
dark, according to taste, and wnen this is quite dry, lay on
the floor a coat of varnish. This must be done with a flat
brash, which will be found to work more smoothly than a
iDnnd one. Any jainter or decorator will suppy the var-
nish; only be caiefnl to bave it mised with quick driers,
and, above all, do not tj^ the room until this last applica-
tion is perfectly dry, otherwise the slightest mark will
^ow, and your w^ork wiH be wasted. Apply the varrdsh
smoothly, and in as straight lines as possible.
Another proce^ is quicker, chearpsr and, provided the
boards are smooth, almost as effective. After the floor
ha=i been well scrubbed and dried, apply one or two coats
of ordiEary oak stain, the darker the belter; let this dry,
and then polish with the following mixture, which, 'try ihe
way, is the proper tinng to t^e on any stained floor, in-
cluding those stained by the process given above: llelt
some beeswas over the fire, snrring some turpentine into
it at the same time; wnen is is of the ccmsisteney of stiff
paste, put it into a stone jar. Apply a little of this msix-
ture while warm, with a good, firm, dry scrubbing brush
(kept for r'h-.=:. purpose alone), and brush the floor briskly,
as if polishing' boots, beginniDg at one comer, and taking
an arm's length at a time. This ought to be done onts in
floors consists in merely dusting them with a soft, dry
cloth ; washing would, of course, discolor them ; spots can
generally be removed with a little stain and polish.
Abroad, the "frottoir" is exclusively used for polishing
stained floors, and it greatly dimishes the labor, besides
being much quicker in bringing about the desired result.
The most satisfactory- kind of flooring is undoubtedly
the parquet, which originally came to us from abroad, and
with which many of us have grown so familiar on the
Continent During the last few years parquet floors have
become much better known among us, and even those in
moderate circtmistances can indulge in this most sanitary,
decorative and labor saving kind of floor.
Of course, as with all other articles, a certain amount of
ra.re is required to keep the floor in proper order, but it
can be done with very little labor and by the most inex-
perienced domestic. When the layers have laid the par-
quet they rub it all over with a cloth dipped in French
polish ; this has the effect of hardening the surface and
rendering it ready for immediate use; moreover it will
remain in perfect condition for about a fortnight or more,
according to the amotm.t of traffic. At the end of tMs
period a little beeswax melted in turpentine (as abovej,
and rubbed over the floor with an old, soft cloth, will be
all that is necessary to give a beautiful gloss; or the
"frottoir" can be used for the application with the same
result. The daily process in such rooms would merely
consist in taking up the dust with a cloth, any little stains
or spots of mud being easily removed by a little extra
rubbing.
treated without professional help ; there are very few sub-
stances that cannot be treated effectually by an experi-
enced workman, and such serious accidents are fortunately
rare. Another advantage resulting from parquet floors
lies in the fact that with every polishing the surface be-
comes harder, less absorbent, and much smoother, thus
acquiring a richer and deeper tint, which goes far toward
enhancing the attractions of the general surroundings.
The whole secret of keeping up a good looking floor is to
do the cleaning; regularly, to watch for daily tramc stains,
and to remove them at once, and to do the fortnightly or
periodical polishing advocated above as lightly as possible;
more harm has been done to good -paxquets 'bj the thick
application of beeswax, &c., than can possibly be imag-
ined. Of all the hygienic inventions so much and so
rightiy insisted upon, the question of floors is perhaps one
of the most important, ilany people have now discarded
the old fashioned " all over " carpets, not so much on the
ground of economy as on that of cleanlines ; squares or
rugs, both large and smalL are more easily removed for
frequent shaking, besides being generally pleasanter to
the eye. But if these be used over ill-fitting boards, the
harboring of dirt and dust in the inevitable cracks does
away with the benefit which might otherwise be derived
from the above change.
Imposts of carpeting into the United States during the
seven months ending January, 1698, amounted to 291,801
square yards, valued at $816, 801. During the correspond-
ing period of 18&T the imports were 231,191 square yards.

place since those noted in our issue of the 1st inst., and
there are still several unplaced orders on the market. The

gone up considerably. Dealers are reluctant to take any
chances, and are naming very high quotations for early
summer delivery. Contracts remain at 90,000 to 100,000
rolls for the coming season.

The new Oriental rug firm of A. & M. Karagheusian
have made an exceptionally good start in business. Dur-
ing the past fifteen days their spacious salesroom at 365
Broadway has been visited by a number of leading rug
buyers, who admit that the assortment of goods and in-
ducements offered by the firm compel purchases. Mr.
Jinishian has especially interested close buyers by offering
selections of bales at bale prices, and the extent of the
stock of goods is evident to every visitor to the establish-
ment. For the coming fortnight the special attractions

Irans, small and large, and particularly fine antique Shir-
vans. The firm invite the closest comparison between their
goods and prices and any other lines in the market.

A suit in chancery has been brought by T. J. Beavitt,
assignee of the insolvent estate of B. P. White, formerly
of Calais, against the carpet and furniture firm of B. W.
Hooker & Co., of Barre, Vt. Mr. Beavitt claims that
Mr. White, who is father-in-law of Mr. Hooker, is a half
owner of the furniture store, and that one-half the stock
and fixtures, valued at $10,000, is an asset of the White
estate.
The opening of the Newburyport (Mass.) Furniture

the proprietor, made things pleasant for the visitors.
Over 300 pinks were given to the ladies who called. The
store looked well, and some fine furniture was displayed.
In fixing up the store since the fire a great many improve-
ments have been made. The workroom has been made
larger, and so has the office.
An adjourned meeting of creditors of Jackman & Sex-
ton, Nashua, N. H., was heid on March 4, at the office of

found the financial condition of the firm practically as re-
ported by the assignees. It follows:
Assets.
Carpets, $5,070.77; furniture, upholstery goods, &c.,
$5,005.11; crockery, tinware, stoves, &c., $3,533.48;

One thousand one hundred dollars' worth of carpets
have been replevined by W. W. Corson and W. H.

made inquiry of the landlord as to the possibility of
an assignee in insolvency, or some other person, being
able to secure the store to close out the stock for
benefit of creditors, and learn that it. cannot readily be
done. No one but Jackman & Sexton can secure the
premises from the owners, and, moreover, we are in-
formed by the debtors that in case the stock is closed out
by an assignee in insolvency they will buy this stock, or

a new one with promised capital. They are determined,
they say, to continue this business in this store. We re-
gret that all our efforts to secure an offer of compromise
from the debtors have thus far been unavailing, and
we recommend that they make an offer to creditors."
Mr. Randall, the assignee, recommended that the debtors
pay 35 per cent., and the committee indorsed such an
offer if paid in cash in thirty days, but voted that if they
did not make such an offer at once the assignee should
put the concern into insolvency.
British exports of carpets for the month of January,
according to the Board of Trade returns, amounted to

During the Bowery lodging house fire on the morning
of the 13th inst. the carpet and furniture store of Alex-
ander Brothers adjoining was entered by the firemen, and
during the excitement incidental to such affairs somebody
helped himself to what loose change was left in the till
overnight. They sustained no further loss, however.
The King Carpet Sweeper Company have proved their
ability to produce satisfactory carpet sweepers and to sell
them at lowest prices. They employ an automatic drop
pan device exclusive to them which assures clean sweep-
ing. Dealers are invited to write for prices and catalogue

Mich.
Frank D. Greenough, who represents the Grand
Rapids Furniture Company on carpet sweepers and other
productions, is back at business after a month's absence,
due to a peculiar accident at Syracuse, N. Y. While
passing through a street in that city on Februarys a block
of ice fell from a seven story building, striking him on the
head and causing a severe injury.
Patent No. 599,671, for a carpet sweeper, was issued
on the 23d ult. to Allen B. Linn, of Grand Rapids, Mich.,
assignor to T. Stewart White, Thomas Friant, Gains W.
Perkins and Charles J. Reed, of the same place. The
application was filed July 23, 1897. The first paragraph
of the claim reads as follows: " In a carpet sweeper, a
case having inclined portions, guard bars, a brush shaft
having pulleys journaled on said bars, springs attached
near their middle to said inclined sides and extending over
the ends of the same inside said bars, drive wheels jour-
naled on said springs, and stops on said springs to engage
said bars, substantially as described'."
T. KiNGSFORD, the well-known manufacturer, who has
conducted a general store at Oswego, N. Y., in connection
with his starch works, has closed out that business. Wal-
ter H. Pulver, who has been the general buyer for the
past eighteen years, has opened in the dry goods business
on his own account on East Bridge street, and E. H.
Hanna, who has looked after the carpet and upholstery
stock in Kingsford's store, and Daniel Griffin, who has
been associated with him in that department, have opened
for themselves on West Bridge street, between Second and
Third streets, where they carry a stock of carpets, cur-
tains, window shades, &c. Mr. Hanna has been in Kings-
ford's store for fourteen years past, a major portion of
which has been spent in the carpet department. Mr.
Grifiin has been connected with the same department for
six years. The new firm name is Hanna & Griffin.

carpets, buyers should visit the warerooms of Fritz & La
Rue, 1138 and 1130 Market street, Philadelphia. They

which in patterns, colorings and dimensions offer a rare
opportunity for selection .
THE FORTNIGHT.
rHE past two weeks have witnessed little change in the
upholstery situation. Business continues to be only-
moderate in all departments. Lace curtains still lead the
procession., and in heavy goods tapestries are a close
second. The revival in the demand for all-over patterns
in chenilles is still a marked feature of the market, but
there is no improvement in dado or plain goods. The
domestic makers of lace curtains find that even running
full time it will be difficult for them to fill the orders now
on their books before the opening of the retail season.
"The new forest green furniture and wall panelings, with
brackets and cabinets, make up a charming scheme of
color for a sitting room, breakfast room or country house
parlors. Combined with bright plaid or white wicker fur-
niture, it is the prettiest thing imaginable for summer
homes.
Vmong the pretty printed cottons for window curtains
cushions and bedspreads for English country houses
are blue ones with a good, effective bordering in white, or
the white with the willow pattern and others in blue.
These cottons wash perfectly, and at small cost a country
bedroom can be made to look very artistic. White va-
lances, worked in washing crewels, look very well with the
colored curtains. Several of the old-fashioned white
counterpanes are ornamented with bold floral designs in
the centre and corners, with a trellis in pale gold color
filling up the spaces, all in washing silks. Smocked cur-
tain bands in sateen or silk are somewhat of a novelty.
They are made of a double piece, and have overcast loops
at each end. They average 9 inches in width, and the
smocking occupies 3 inches down the middle. It is much
the fashion now to have colored silk bedspread and pillow
covers with plain muslin over, and frills of embroidered
muslin, and the pillows in the shape of hearts. Small
pillows for the sofa are also in this shape, and some like
large crackers, with deep lace at each end, tied round with
satin ribbon and finished off with a bunch of loops. On
the bedspread and pillow covers a large monogram is em-
broidered in while. On a sofa the two cushions — large,
and always negligently placed one half over the other —
are of- contrasting colors; and the footstool should be of
one or of both colors. The newest cushions have a frill 2
inches wide only instead of the usual deep one.

W. H. FLETCHER & CO.
J Frank Raymond has bought the interest of Edward
. B. Fletcher in the firm of W. H. Fletcher & Co.,
and the business will be continued under the old style by
Frank N. Fletcher, J. Frank Raymond and Edwin D.
Teague as general partners, Edward B. Fletcher continuing
as a special. The latter gentleman has been compelled to
retire from active participation in the affairs of the firm
owing to the fact that the climate of New York was un-
dermining his health. He has a tract of land comprising
some 1,500 acres in Tennessee, and will probably take up
his permanent residence in that State.
Mr. Raymond is well known to the lace curtain trade.
For over forty years his father was manager of the white
goods and upholstery department of H. B. Claflin & Co.,
and the son became associated with him in the manage-
ment of the department in 1883, and from '87 to '97 did
all the foreign buying.
The Sash Curtain Rod and Novelty Company, Provi-
dence, R. I., have materially increased their business this
season through their extensive line of popular priced rods
for sash curtains, vestibule curtains and also lace curtains.
The new advertisement of The Hensel Silk Manufac-
turing Company in this issue is one of the most orna-
mental and attractive ever printed in The Review. It is
another illustration of the excellent taste of Geo. F.
Hensel, head of the company, who is one of the busiest
thinkers in the trade. The major part of the many
superb novelties gotten otit by the Hensel Company is
directly due to the versatility and artistic ideas of Mr.
Hensel.
It should be borne in mind that J. S. Lesser & Co. are
closely identified with the lace curtain factory at Tariff-
ville. Conn., and distribtite the larger part of its output.
With such a source of supply it is obvious that they are
important people to see on domestic lace curtains, and it
will pay buyers to inspect the line of these goods on show
at their special salesrooms, 473 Broadway, New York.
The firm also display a strong assortment of novelty nets
for making ttp curtains, and are large producers of ruffled
and insertion net curtains.
The protest of Hees, Macfarlane & Co. against the
decision of the collector at Detroit, Mich. , on a consign-
ment of cotton window lace shades, which were assessed
for duty at 60 per cent, ad valorem under paragraph 339,
act of July 24, 1897, has been overruled. The protestants
claimed that the lace was dutiable under paragraph 340 of
the above act, which provides for " lace window curtains,
pillow shams and bed sets, finished or unfinished, made
on the Nottingham lace curtain machine or on the
Nottingham warp machine." The Board of General
Appraisers, in affirming the assessment of duty, held
that the goods in question were neither curtains, pillow
shams nor bed sets.

some other competent salesman will be on hand. The
products of Robert Lewis have been among the best
sellers in the market, and to Mr. Lewis is due as much
credit as to any other one manufacturer in the trade
for popularizing tapestry fabrics during the past few years.
His products consist of curtains, table covers, couch covers,
fabrics for drapery hangings and coverings. The new
office is in Room 611, Hartford Building, 41 Union square,
and will add another strong attraction to the already great
inducements for buyers to visit this centrally located
building.
August Harte has recently started in business as a retail
manufacturer of upholstered furniture at 1025 Main street,
Cincinnati.
Theodore Mayer, agent for lace curtain manufacturers,
suffered a slight loss by water consequent upon the fire
in the Rehm Building at Monroe and Market streets,
Chicago, on the 9th inst.
The Hollins Mill Company's Scotch hollands are giving
the utmost satisfaction for quality and finish, and are
guaranteed by the makers to be as represented by them.
Retail buyers are requested to write to the Hollins Mill
Company, 67 Miller street, Glasgow, Scotland, for samples,
if they cannot find these goods in the wholesalers' hands.
The first new machines have been started in the new
factory of T. L Birkin & Co., at Chester, Pa., and all the
machines from the Philadelphia factory will also soon be
in motion. The Chester plant is an ideal one for manu-
facturing lace curtains, and Birkin & Co. will have facili-
ties of the highest order for the economical and rapid
manufacture of curtains and nets. Manager J. W. Smith
is doing herculean work, is getting things to rights quickly,
and will have his office force installed at Chester within
another fortnight. J. A. Brittain & Co., the selling agents,
are itching for the increased product, and will find as
ready an outlet for it as they have had for the Philadelphia
plant.
EMBROIDERED OVERMANTEL.
A RECENT example of decorative work of an unhack-
neyed style is shown in the sketch of an overmantel
illustrated herewith. The three panels, mounted in velvet
and then set within a
= _ _ _ frame of dark wood,
may be justly described
as needlework tapes-
try, being really exe-
cuted with the needle
instead of being made
in a loom, as is the
ordinary kind of tapes-
try. The designs, which
are Italian in char-
acter, are carried out
with crewels, special
attention having been
paid to the shading and to the coloring, which is of a sub-
dued tone most suitable to such an article of furniture as
an overmantel. The division of this overmantel into
panels is particularly pleasing, and just affords that rest to
the eye which in these days of bustle and hurry is a thing
so much to be desired. The working of three such panels
would not be costly, but the embroiderer must have artistic
sense enough to manage the needful shading successfully,
and to arrange the general effect so that it is as good when
the embroidery is viewed from the other end of the room
as when it has to bear closer inspection.
OVERMANTEL WITH EMBROIDERED PANELS.
Ewen Mclntyre, whose store in Chapel street. New
Haven, was damaged by the Bowditch Furniture Com-
pany's fire last month, has sent a check of 1|25 to Chief
Hubbard, of the department, for the firemen's benefit
fund.
R. T. Hazzard & Co., 814 Pine street, Philadelphia,
have become sole selling agents for the decorative and up-
holstery burlaps made by the Farr & Bailey Manufacturing
Company, of Camden, N. J. The product of the com-
pany in these goods will hereafter be distributed solely
through Hazzard & Co., who show the samples at their
Philadelphia salesroom and also at 156 Fifth avenue, New
York.
The Scranton Lace Curtain Company have demonstrated
during this season their ability to produce the most at-
tractive and salable styles, as well as to give prime value
in quality and finish. In fact, their productions have gone
into the hands of the most critical buyers, who realize that
the goods contain prime salable features. New things are
being constantly added, and can be seen at the salesroom
of Creighton & Burch, sole selling agents, 10 and 12
Thomas street. New York.
Allen Muir, of the firm of A. & J. Muir, of New Mills,
Scotland, in company with his lawyer, George Cameron,
arrived in this country the latter part of February to look
over the lace curtain plant of the Frank Wilkinson Com-
pany, at Tariff ville, Conn., with a view of purchasing
same. They inspected the factory in company with J. S.
Lesser, of J. S. Lesser & Co., and sailed for home on the
Teutonic the 9th inst. No decision had been reached
regarding the purchase at the time of sailing.

LIGHT IN THE DRAWING ROOM.
THE first concern in a drawing room is (says Mr. W.
Scott-Morton in the Art Journal) the method of
lighting, both artificial light and daylight. It is not al-
ways possible to avoid heavy shadows, but here a well
diffused daylight is desirable. It should come from the
sunny side with, if possible, subordinate windows where
the outlook is good. The ornamentation of the room and
all the objects which are placed in any picturesque group-
ing, as well as the people in the room, look to
best advantage when the light is strongest
from one side. In artificial lighting, a main
central light is found most successful for the ^^
apartment generally, but many things in the ^^«^^
room often lose the artistic value they possess -
in daylight by the alteration of the illuminating
centre, which causes a different- light and
shadow relief. When a drawing room has
ample window space, and it is considered de-
sirable to retain all the daylight, the treatment
of the decoration should be delicate, for fullness
of color and strong detail are almost sure to
ran to coarseness, unless a very skillful hand
controls. When the light is scanty, luminous
tints and strong contrasts of form and color are
desirable, as they help greatly to relieve the
apartment of the blackness of the shadows, and
make use of them to help the color effect.
Where there is a recess or dark corner which is
objectionable, there is often presented an opportunity for
adding the best touch to the apartment by setting some-
thing of china, bronze, statuary, flowers, or a screen,
which will tell with much effect in the shaded setting sur-
rounding shadow; provided, of course, that such objects
be so placed as to catch a favorable light. In light rooms
a soft colored wood
like satin wood is
certainly the best,
but in lower toned
rooms, dark woods,
like mahogany or
rosewood, relieved
with ormolu or gild-
ing, are most fit-
ting. When a cheer-
ful room is desired
nearly everyone
thinks of white
painted wood. It is
clean and easily ob-
tained, and raises no
serious ground for
criticism ; but in
every case where
white is used it
should be tinted to
allow of its easy as-
similation with the
strongest color, be
it on the wall, seat
covers, or floor. Of
the ordinary wall papers little need be stated here,
except that it will generally be found that those
which are the most pleasing for homely rooms are
not those which ordinarily attract one in a decora-
tor's showroom.

HOW THE PRINCE OF WALES TRAVELS.
I "he Prince of Wales has just had a new car built, which
he will use when traveling on the different railroads
in England. The car was built by the Great Eastern
Railway Company at Stratford, and is very luxuriously
fitted up in every way. The new car is constructed like
the American cars and is mounted on two four wheeled
bogies, one at each end. It is a saloon car, and in addition
to the saloon and boudoir has apartments for the attend-
ants. The body of the saloon is 41 feet long. The
interior of the car is decorated with English walnut and
satin wood. The ceiling is covered with Lincrusta Walton,
picked out in cream and gold. The saloon and boudoir
are upholstered in blue morocco and the draperies are of
blue silk. The saloon has seats for eight persons and the
boudoir seats six. The car is lighted by oil gas and is
fitted with the Westinghouse vacuum automatic brakes.

Titn Cartkt and Urnoi.sTERY Trade Review.
IndliinapoUs,
March 12.
The Badgoi- Furniture Company have moved their up-
holstery department from the Virginia avenue entranee to
the Washington street entrance. The
arrangement of the store is greatly
improved thereby. They have also
rented the upper lloors of Vo, 15 and 17 Virginia avenue,
and will utilize them for warerooms and workshop.
II. P. Wasson & Co. have remodeled their show win-
dows, enlarging them so that they can display carpets and
upholstery stock better. W. W. Hills, the manager of this
department, lias his stock arranged very prettily. Re-
cently he has devoted a great deal of time to his Oriental
stock, and has had a very good business in this depart-
ment.
vSchleicher & Martens have secured some very satis-
factory carpet sales recently. -They ai-e covering the
(.Kivernor's office with a handsome carpet and are putting-
down some line ones in the Grand Hotel, this city. They
opened their carpet department last August, and are well
pleased with the success they have had with it. They
cater to the better class of trade.
The old reliable firm of Albert Call is constantly making
improvements in its store, 1 noticed a vcr\- attractive ar-
rangement on the third lloor, a portion of it being spaced
olT to display their samples of hard wood lloors, fret-
work and grills. This is the oldest firm here, and it has
one of the best stands in the city.
Albert Gall, Jr., the well known manufacturer of grills,
who has a large establishment at 109 liast Washington
street, is fast gaining a national reputation in the character
of his work, sketches of which have been shown from time
to time in Tuk Revu'w. For artistic and up-to-date work,
he certainly can supply anyone with ideas. Should you
need anything in his line, it would be well for you to cor-
respond with him,
Messrs. Otto Miller, F, P. Walter, and Chris ti. Tyner,
who for twelve years were with Eastman, Schleicher i."v
l.ce, and for the past two years with the Pettis Dry
Goods Company, have formed a co-partnership imder the
style of the Art Decorating Company, and have taken the
store at \'i'?t North Pennsylvania street, the formal opening
of which occurred to-night (13th inst.). They certainly
have one of the most attractive stores in the city, hand-
somely decorated, and the incandescent lighting is superb,
all the lights on the ceiling having different colored globes
which harmoni/.e with the artistic decorations both on the
ceiling and the walls. With the vast acquaintance that
these gentlemen have, they certainly will succeed.
The Interior Hard Wood Company report a constant
demand for hardwood floors. They have an extensive
business, which reaches all over the United States.

HYNDMANN & MOORE TO INCORPORATE
AND ENLARGE THEIR PRODUCTION.
THE well-known curtain and upholstery goods manufac-
turing concern of Hyndmann & Moore will be
merged into a corporation within the next thirty or sixty
days, and the plant will be considerably enlarged. The
Mcllwain Manufacturing Company's machinery for pro-
ducing linen velours and specialties is now being removed
to the Hyndmann & Moore mill at Coral and Adam
streets, Philadelphia The Mcllwain Company's plant is
owned by lames Pollock, a prominent Philadelphia carpet
manufacturer, and it is understood that Mr. Pollock will
become a stockholder in the new corporation and will
doubtless be its treasurer and financial manager. Hynd-
mann & Moore have already taken into their mills the
chenille looms purchased from Joseph H. Bromley, which
were formerly operated by the Horner Company. Under
the new organization the Hyndmann & Moore plant will
assume increased prominence in the manufacture of cur-
tains, table covers and upholsteries. The goods continue
to be sold through W. E. Rosenthal, sole selling agent,
458 Broadway, New York.
Fisher & Lambing, doing business as the Corry Upliol-
stering Company, Corry, Pa., have dissolved partnership.
The business is continued by J. S. Lambing.
Ahrens & Warren, upholsterers, Canandaigua, N. Y.,
were burned out on March 1.
An entire block of buildings at L'niontown, Pa., was
destroyed by lire on the 10th inst. Among the losers is
A. Cr. Beeson, upholsterer, whose loss is $000; no insui"-
ance.
The Keystone Oil Cloth Works, Noiristown, Pa., are
enjoying a good spring business in light weight oil cloths
and their improved and enlarged facilities enable them to
deliver goods promptly.
The new velvet mill which was recently built at Mystic,
Conn., for Rossie Brothers, of Germany, began operations
on the 10th inst. About 100 hands took their places at
the looms, and it is stated that the force will be increased
in a short time.
The Chase goat brand mohair plushes are selling greatly
ahead of a year ago. The friese goods are especially
popular, as they are sold at but a slight advance over plain
plushes. We look for a continued increase in the use of
these highly ornamental as well as durable furniture
coverings. Every dealer should see the goods and send
for samples to L, C. Chase & Co., PJO Washington street,
Boston.
Cohen Brothers & Co., 42-1 and 420 Broadway, New
York, are showing three new designs in bobbinet flounced
curtains, especially adapted for bay window drapery.
Tliey are made of extra wide fine bobbinets, trimmed with
Point de \'alencia. Point de Paris and Point de Saxe laces
and insertions, and intended for quick $o sellers in all up-
holstery departments. The demand for these novelty
bobbinet frilled curtains is increasing daily, nothing having
appeared before which produces such a rich eftect for the
small cost. This firm is certainly showing an extra large
and handsome line, and buyers of curtains looking for
ready sellers should not miss seeing their goods. See their
advertisement on page 93.

A NOTABLE COLLECTION OF PICTURES.
EORGE A. Hearn, of James A. Hearn
& Son, New York city, has one of
the finest collections of pictures
owned by any individual in the coun-
try. How many paintings he has
acquired during the past decade he
himself can with difficulty reckon.
How many he has given away, only his
relatives, friends and the Metropolitan
Museum can tell. At the present speaking the museum
has a gallery filled with pictures lent or given by him out-
right, yet his house does not seem capable of offering wall
space to more than hang there now.
For many years the Lotos Club has benefited by his
hobby and had his services as a member of the Committee
on Art. Recently he showed a number of his pictures
there, including the beautiful landscape with plowman, by
Horatio Walker; a fine broad marine by Boudin, with ship
under full sail beneath swelling white cloud masses ; the
"Arab Camp," by Fromentin ; the " Regions of Fantasy,'
by Corot, and other modern works, also a full length
portrait of Charles I., by Daniel My tens the elder, a recent
acquisition.
The New York Times, in its issue of the 13th ult., con-
tained a number of engravings taken from pictures in
Mr. Hearn's house, and also the views of his library and
drawing room, which are presented herewith.
SOUTHERN SCINTILLATIONS.

corresponding in size, and communicating by means of
broad, arched doorways, from which hang rich draperies.
The parlor is done in old rose, the library in green, the
dining room in terra cotta and the bedroom in blue.

DRAPERY DESIGNS.
THE Sheraton style gives but small scope to the designer
of draperies. Sheraton indulged in shallow and thin
swags for his valances and long curtains, merely looped
back either at a point three-quarters up or in the lower
part of the window. The brothers Adam,
too, do not bequeath to us any better
attempt at original draperies, and it would,
therefore, seem that, if we would be
accurate in our interpretation of the
Sheraton style, we must confine our efforts
at originality within narrow limits. But
swags, if prettily hung, are delightful
in themselves, and their arrangement ad-
mits of great variety. Perhaps one of
the most delicate means of treating the
festoon is to let it terminate in a flat
valance, so that it appears to be an inte-
gral part of the flat surface. In the
first of the two designs of drawing room
draperies shown herewith an English
artist has endeavored to produce this
result. The design would be most ap-
propriate for a striped silk tapestry of
delicate coloring. With such a material
the unequal surface of the festoon
would be marked against the flat surface
by means of the
interruptions to
the stripes that
the festoons would
occasion. The
alternative design
is Louis Quinze
in style. Here it
is proposed to
use a curved cor-
nice, and imme-
diately below this
is hung a rich net
fringe of cross-
cord and bullion.
Over this will
hang luxurious
folds of plush,
which are to be
caught up in the
centre by the
curved and gilded
shells above the
cornice. The cur-
tains, which are
looped back irregu-
larly, are intended
to hang behind the
decorative fringe
of the valance. The
arrangement
is certainly effec-
tive.
LOUIS QUINZE.
WINTER AND SPRING DRAPERIES.
THE materials most suitable for winter and spring
hangings and draperies of every description are
those which are somewhat close in texture and of rich
handsome colorings, as during the cold, dreary months we
require our sur-
roundings to
reflect warmth
and comfort, and
nothing is more
helpful toward
this result than
the draperies in
our rooms. The
skillful manipu-
lation of such
things amounts
almost to an art,
and is seldom
attained without
much practical
experience. There
must be no stiff-
ness in the ar-
rangement, noth-
ing fantastic in
form, and no
pulling out of
natural line,
but the folds
must fall easily
and gracefully,
having all the
appearance of
having arranged
themselves with-
out any inter-
ference. For
this reason stiff
fabrics should
not be chosen,
and anything
in the nature of
jute it is well to carefully avoid.
There are few materials more satisfactory
than the woolen tapestries, which both look
well and wear well. They are manufac-
tured in a large variety of colorings, and in
as many designs, some of them being
extremely handsome. For dining room or
library curtains and for portieres they are
decidedly useful, and can be made up with -a
lining either of silk or other plain material,
and finished with cord, or quite plain. A
very stylish curtain may be made by hav-
ing a 4 inch border of velvet sewn upon the
tapestry in the same color as the ground,
and edged with a very narrow trimming.
For the portiere a lining is almost always
necessary if it is required as a draught
excluder, and the best material for the
purpose is a plain cashmere.

MOUND CITY MEMS.
A new firm of manufacturers' agents appeared on the local
stage on March 1 under the style of Perry, Schultz & Co.,
the principal members of which are Charles C.
Perry and E. S. Schultz. Their leading lines
include the Ingrains of Thos. Develon's Sons,
W. T. Smith & Son's Smyrna rugs, chenille and lace cur-
tains, and Lyon Brothers & Co.'s straw mattings and lino-
leums. They are located in the Insurance Exchange
Building, 418>3 Olive street. Mr. Perry is a well-known
and popular man, having long represented the best East-
ern houses in this territory, while Mr. Schultz, from his
successful service on the road for the Trorlicht, Duncker
& Renard Carpet Company, has made many friends. Mr.
Perry will cater to the drapery trade and Mr. Schultz will
attend to the dealers in carpets.
B. F. Kroeger, of Kroeger & Linde, is the picture of
health again after his long sickness.
Schaper Brothers, the new Broadway dry goods and
upholstery firm, are now putting a new front in their es-
tablishment.
Ryan & Cannon, dry goods, have opened for business
the annex to their store on Washington avenue, near
Broadway.
It is rumored that some Eastern concern, whose iden-
tity is not yet clearly known, contemplates establishing
linoleum works in this vicinity.
Samuel M. Kennard again appears as an investor in real
estate. He has just let a contract to build a $15,000 resi-
dence on Westminster place, east of Union Boulevard.
Wm. Prufrock, the manufacturer of upholstered furni-
ture, has again established a downtown store and sales-
rooms. To-day he opened for business in the four story
building. No. 406 North Fourth street.
On the 9th inst. Miss Cora Stix, a daughter of William
Stix, a member of the wholesale dry goods house of Rice,
Stix & Co., was united in marriage to Abraham Friedman,
of the firm of Friedman Brothers & Schaefer.
F. C. Lake, of the firm of B. Nugent & Brother has re-
turned from a six weeks' business trip to New York. Mr.
Byron Nugent, head of the same house, is now at Hot
Springs, Ark., for the benefit of his health.
Thomas K. Stanley, manager of B. Nugent & Brother's
upholstery lines, is home again from his Eastern trip. He
brought with him 1,000 muskets and bayonets which were
intended for service in the Franco- Prussian war. They
are for decorative purposes, and he has already sold 200
of them at $5.50 apiece.
Charles W. Rosenthal, who, until March 1, was presi-
dent of the Charles W. Rosenthal Wall Paper Company,
committed suicide in the office of that concern yesterday,
by shooting himself with a pistol. The cause is as yet
unknown, but ill health is supposed to have prompted the
deed. Mr. Rosenthal was fifty-eight years old and had
been engaged in business for more than twenty years.
A. C. Frost, a carpet salesman for Carson, Pirie, Scott
& Co., of Chicago, whose mysterious disappearance was
noted by The Review's Chicago correspondent in the issue
of February 1, committed suicide in this city on February
38. He registered on that date at the Hotel Bamum,
under the name of " F. C. Arthur, city," and after his
death letters were found addressed to his wife and his
house which disclosed his identity and indicated that he
killed himself by a dose of prussic acid.
P. P. O'Halloran, formerly manager of Barr's uphol-
stery department, is now located in his new and elegant

Alfred H. B. Oliver, secretary of the Scruggs, Vander-
voort & Barney Dry Goods Company, died on March 2.
His death resulted from injuries received in an unex-
plained manner, when he was brought home in an un-
conscious condition on February 4.
Yesterday the Charles Niedringhaus House Furnishing
Company completed a lease for three months of the spa-
cious building lately occupied by the Fair Shoe and Cloth-
ing Company at the corner of Seventh street and Franklin
avenue. President Charles Niedringhaus informed me
to-day that he was momentarily expecting a settlement with
the underwriters for the loss on his burned out stock and
premises at Tenth street and Franklin avenue, and that as
soon as an adjustment is made and their own store is re-
paired the company will resume business at the old
stand. Manager Arthur Niedringhaus will continue to
preside over the carpet and upholstery lines, and the
concern expects to open the new place for business
within ten days. B. W. B.
OPENING OF THE CARACAS WAREHOUSE.
ARRANGEMENTS are being made for the formal opening of
the American sample warehouse which the National
Association of Manufacturers has established at Caracas,
Venezuela, and on the 17th of this month a party consist-
ing of twenty members of the association will sail from
this port on the Red " D " Line steamer Venezuela. The
opening will take place on the 26th, and will be an elab-
orate affair. President Andrade, of Venezuela, with his
cabinet, will attend, as will also United States Minister
Loomis, together with several American consuls and other
diplomatic officers.
A large number of exhibits embracing nearly all lines of
goods shipped from this country to Venezuela have been
sent to the warehouse, where they will remain as per-
manent exhibits.
The furniture and upholstery firm of Crutchley, Bain-
bridge & Cleary, Troy, N.- Y., has dissolved, Mr. Bain-
bridge retiring to accept a lucrative position with the
Denholm & McKay Company, Worcester, Mass. The
new firm of Crutchley & Cleary will continue the business
at the old stand, 331 and 333 River street.
A deed of assignment was filed on February 24 in the
Chancery Court at Richmond, Va., by J. A. Gilmore &
Co. , furniture and upholstery dealers. The deed conveys
to John Garland Pollard, trustee, all the stock of goods ;
also all due bills, open accounts, &c. The liabilities are
estimated at $5,000. The proceeds reaHzed from the sale
of the effects of the firm, after the payment of legal ex-
penses, are to be devoted to the payment of the debts.
The creditors are divided into five classes. It is thought
the assets will exceed the liabilities.

WOMEN AND WALL PAPER.
MOMENT a crocus begins to
crack the earth, or a too pre-
vious robin is heard shiver-
ingly singing his matin song,
then the women go daft upon
the subject of wall paper.
This is one of the sure signs
of spring. At the first chir-
rup of a bluebird the affec-
tion seizes them, and women
grow as restless and uneasy
as fishes out of water, and cannot be contented until they
go to the paper hanger and say: " Let me see your latest
designs in wall paper."
Then the trouble begins. Samples, more samples, and
yet again more samples. Nights of wakefulness; days of
harrowing anxiety. No one knows and words cannot
describe the enormous difficulty experienced in deciding
with infallible exactness what style, shade or tint will be
precisely suitable for each room.
It is a herculean task, involving days of incessant
thought, application and superhuman effort that would
appal a inan. It is worse than revising the tariff or
formulating articles of arbitration, but no obstacles, how-
ever great, daunt women when they are under the full
dominant force of the wall paper madness.
This mania for wall paper that invariably attacks women
annually as regularly as the seasons come and go, immedi-
ately as the streams break their icy fetters and the frost
begins to come out of the ground, is said by scientists to
be born in them like the love for ribbon, Easter bonnets
and fine rainment, and can be no more eradicated or sub-
verted than the propensity of a hen to set when the time
comes.
It makes no difference if every room in the house was
papered anew last fall, the style has since changed, and
this spring there will be no whoa, no rest for the weary
husband, until the old paper has been yanked oft' and the
new laid on.
After the turmoil has subsided, if the job has been
properly executed, and, in the language of femininity,
everything is "just perfectly lovely," then the contented
housewife sits down complacently and contemplates the
lovely spectacle of her handiwork with a serene composure,
a deep satisfaction and a thrill of ecstatic pleasure that no
man ever did or will experience.
The wall paper mania is very trying at times, neverthe-
less husbands never kick, because it is this and other
feminine manias that enliven the existence of men, which
existence otherwise might be so calm, peaceful and serene
as to eventually border almost on very dullness or stagna-
tion — Ex.

To Buyers of Upholstery Fabrics:
Our new Spring line of Tapestry Table and Couch Covers, Piece Goods and
Curtains will attest more strongly than ever the supremacy of our position as
leaders in this line of goods. Every effort has been made to surpass all pre-
vious records, and the many novelties and improvements we have succeeded in pro-
ducing bear evidence of the superiority of the product of our mills.
Our goods show all that is latest in fabric and style, and are put on the
market at figures that commend them to buyers of fine, medium and popular priced
goods .
The point to consider in selecting your Spring Upholstery Goods is value.
Upholstery Value means richness and excl usiveness of Fabric, Perfection and
Correctness of Style, and Excellence of Make. Our New Spring Line reveals the
most extensive showing of novelties and styles ever made up by any one single
house in this country. It is a line that every buyer should see.

A Little Mud
goes a long ways. No one thing prevents dirty
floors better than a Perforated Rubber Mat with
corrugated surface. The corrugations scrape the
mud off and the perforations hold it, so that the
surface is always in good condition. Impervious
to water, you can clean it with a hose; but if you
prefer an old-fashioned shake, that, too, will
answer. Made to fit exactly any space, no
matter how irregular. Add extreme diirabilitv,
and name and address inserted so that thief can't
remove — and you have a mat
every customer on your books
can use. Not necessary to
carry stock — all you 'need is
.samples. Sent free on applica-

With the advent of a high tarii^ on wools, some
manufacturers, in order to keep prices down to about
old values, resort to the method of reducing the quality.
Not so with us.

will positively be maintained, and every endeavor
will be made to improve our various fabrics
in quality, style and fmish.

The Carpets made by this Company have received the highest award wherever exhibited,
including Gold Medals at the Paris Exposition, 1878, and at the Centennial, 1876.
Their deserved reputation for excellence of fabric, richness and durability of color, novelty and
beauty of design, has led to frequent infringements, and inferior goods have often been palmed off
in their stead. For the protection of the public the Company has adopted as a trade mark the word
" BIGELOW," which will be woven (at every repeat of the pattern) in white capitals into the back
of the fabric. Customers will therefore have merely to examine the back of a carpet to be certain
that they are getting the genuine Bigelow goods.
THESE GOODS CAN BE HAD FR03I ALL FIRST-CLASS DEALERS.

THE TRADE OUTLOOK.
ALTHOUGH retail business rarely becomes particularly
active before April, our advices from the West show
that trade has opened there already in a highly satisfac-
toiy way. In the East and Middle States business is still
quiet, but dealers expect a strong- demand for goods in
the present month, and if our controversy with Spain is
settled soon upon an honorable and satisfactory basis
there is no doubt that the carpet trade will benefit imme-
diately and substantially. Apart from the war cloud
everything points toward prosperity throughout the.
country, and, as all commercial reports show, the re-
vival of general business is not merely a promise, but has
already begun. Bank clearings, an infallible index of the
condition of business, have increased greatly during the
past three months. The iron trade, another important
sign of the times, showed marked activity last month,
quite apart from the sudden demand for warlike purposes ;
and equally significant, if not even more so, are the re-
ports of commercial travelers and retail dealers in all parts
of the country, which are almost invariably of the most en-
couraging character.
Of course the possibility of war remains, but at the
present writing that bridge has not been reached, and
therefore we are not yet obliged to cross it.
°Our readers are urged to remember that we are
always desirous to receive communications of interest to
the carpet or upholstery trades, such as changes in firms
or managers, the building or opening of new stores,
improvements in old ones, the adding of new departments,
improved methods of doing business, new inventions, sug-
gestions as to the cutting, making and laying of carpets,
the designing and fitting of draperies, or inquiries and
dissertations relating to the technical or commercial details
of the trades to which this periodical is devoted.
W/hile the matter of effecting a combination of Ingrain
manufacturers has not been abandoned, yet it can
hardly be said that any progress has been made toward a
consummation during the past fortnight. It is stated
positively that the necessary capital to organize a com-
bined company can be easily obtained if the manufacturers
will come together on a plan. The trouble is to get the
co-operation of enough manufacturers to assure the com-
bination's success and also to present a proposition which
will be acceptable to all.
\dvices from Canton, dated February 19, indicate that
some moi-e settlements had taken place during the
ten days previous, and contracts on China matting are put
at 180,000 rolls. They quote 1}( cent in the lower and
1 cent in the higher grades over normal rates. Any large
line of common grades would be difficult of placing.

rates. Dealers have their straw crop fully engaged, and
will have to count upon the new crop to a great extent
with which to complete orders.
IMPORTS OF WOOL.
THE total imports of wool since the Dingley act took
effect were 2,875,899 pounds in August, 2,429,873
pounds in September, 7,124,231 pounds in October, 10,-
161,313 pounds in November, 17,768,627 pounds in De-
cember and 11,017,085 pounds in January. Carpet wool
has constituted the bulk of the importations. The impor-
tations of carpet wool at New York alone were 3,599,210
pounds in October, 6,481,008 pounds in November, 10,-
370,808 pounds in December and 5,042,622 pounds in
January. The imports of carpet wool at Boston were
1,964,632 pounds in October, 1,725,185 pounds in Novem-
ber, 3,993,654 pounds in December and 2,349,339 pounds
in January. At Philadelphia the imports of carpet wool
have been over a million pounds a month, beginning with
October.

THOMAS L. LEEDOM & CO.
LEEDOM & Co. are running their great mills on full time
and force in filling duplicate orders, an illustration of
the appreciation of the firm's products by the trade of the
country which must be highly satisfactory to Leedom &
Co. Among the latest novelties brought out by this en-
terprising firm is a line of all wool medallion Art Squares,
which will be shown in a large variety of patterns and
colorings. Another new and very successful specialty is
the line of Dundee or Pro-Brussels Art Squares, which are
already in great demand by the trade. In Smyrna rugs
the firm shows an immense range of patterns in various
grades, and also a novelty in a Smyrna hall runner, made
in three lengths, 9, 12 and 15 feet, and in three widths.
Mr, Samuel Thomas, of the firm, and manager of its
New York ofSce, reports the demand for duplicates as es-
pecially large, and the general business of the season to
this date as remarkably satisfactory.
A PATENT has been issued to the Singer Manufacturing
Company for an apparatus to be attached to a sewing
machine for binding carpets, a description and illustration
of which will be found in our "Patents " column.
IMPORTS OF ORIENTAL RUGS.
THE TRADE'S GROWTH AND PRESENT POSITION IN THE UNITED STATES.
HE extent of the importation of
Oriental rugs and carpets into
this country is a matter of con-
siderable importance to every
branch of the carpet trade, and
we therefore take pleasure in
presenting herewith the first rea-
sonably accurate and compre-
hensive statistics published in
relation to imports of such goods
into the port of New York, the
imports at other ports of the
United States being too small to
be of much importance in this
connection.
Imports of woolen rugs and
carpets from Oriental countries
during the period between July
24, 1897, and March 1, 1898, amounted to 204,018 square
yards, valued at $775,161. Of these goods 66,307 square
yards, valued at $303,125, were for immediate consump-
tion, and 137,711 square yards, valued at $472,036, were
entered for warehouses. These figures include all imp)orts
from Turkey, Persia, Russia, India and Japan, and al-
imports of such goods via British or other ports of West-
ern Europe . They do not include the imports of cotton
and jute rugs and carpets, which are principally of Japan-
ese rnanufacture. During the period referred to the
imports of these goods amounted to 148,276 square yards,
valued at $45,631, and of this amount 117,532 square
yards, valued at $36,192, were for immediate consumption.
Since July 24 last, the date at which the present tariff
went into effect, the imports of Oriental rugs have been
classed with certain goods of European manufacture, such
as carpets woven whole for rooms, and Berlin, Aubusson
and Axminster rugs, but the quantity of these European
goods imported is so extremely small that it requires but
slight consideration. As an index to our Oriental rug
trade of the period named the foregoing figures may
therefore be regarded as accurate enough for all practical
purposes.
It is, of course, to be remembered that an immense
amount of Oriental rugs was imported just before the
present tariff became a law, and during a number of
months preceding that date, and consequently the statistics
relating to imports since then do not furnish a perfect
guide to the extent of the business done in this branch of
trade. But, on the other hand, the abnormal proportions
of the imports intended to anticipate the passage of the
new tarifiE would render them also an unsatisfactory basis
for any calculation of the actual extent of the trade during
the past twelve or fourteen months.
Oriental rug buyers should bear in mind that H. S.
Tavshanjian has connections on the other side whereby he
is always receiving desirable lots of Oriental carpets and
rugs purchased at particularly advantageous prices, and
that similar inducements are given to his customers. His
announcement on page 13 should be carefully read.

has removed to larger quarters at 89 White street.
Morris & McKay have settled with their creditors on
the basis of 50 cents on the dollar, payable in notes at
two, four, seven, ten and twelve months. They will open
about April 1 in new salesrooms at 359 Broadway.
Patrick Hussar, who said that he resided at 15 West
William street, Astoria, was arrested in Long Island City
on the 19th ult. charged with the theft of rugs and carpets
valued at $40 from the store of Simon Bauman, of No. 1
Flushing avenue.
Thomas Caves & Sons request us to state that all com-
munications must be henceforth addressed to the home
office at their mills, Third and Huntingdon streets, Phila-
delphia. They have ceased to be represented by F. B.
Bru Baker & Co. in New York.
The employees in the factory of the E. S. Higgins
Carpet Company, this city, have contributed the sum of
$322.60 to the fund for the building of a monument in
honor of the men who were killed by the blowing up of
the battleship Maine in Havana harbor.
Joseph Wild & Co. are enlarging their Oriental rug
department by taking in the third floor of the Thomas
street store. The sheepskin and robe departments have
been moved to the fourth floor. The rug department
now occupies the second and third floors.
The body of George W. Farrell, an old employee of W.
& J. Sloane, who mysteriously disappeared on February 2,
was discovered in the East River on the 36th ult. Mrs.
Farrell believes that he became ill while on a ferryboat
crossing the river and fell overboard. He leaves a widow
and a son.
The Merchants' Association of this city recently issued
a circular urging citizens of New York to oppose the bill
now before the Legislature providing for the transfer of
the control of the Erie Canal from the State to the United
States Government. The association characterized the
bill as a measure certain to increase freight charges and
divert trade from New York to other cities. The bill has
been defeated in the Senate and this probably disposes of
it completely.
M. B. Evens & Co., instalment dealers in carpets, up-
holstery goods and furniture, will on May 1 open a new
establishment at Park avenue and Broadway, Brooklyn.
They will continue their present business at 379 Grand
street in that borough.
The Read Carpet Company show thirty-four different
patterns of Axminster rugs, which are made in sizes up to
11.3x14 3 feet. They carry all sizes in stock, and the full
line is shown at the New York salesroom, 110 Worth
street, in charge of E. H. Churchill.
A. A Vantine & Co. have recently received large in-
voices of Japanese rugs per the steamship Sikh, which
came direct to New York. Their new Japanese matting
is coming in satisfactorily by steamer to Pacific Coast and
overland. Large invoices of China matting are on the
sailing vessel Abner Coburn, which is now due.
An alarm of fire was sent out from Wanamaker's,
Broadway, Ninth and Tenth streets, on the 25th ult.
Three engine companies responded, but on arrival at the
store were prevented from entering. Some workmen, in
moving a ladder, had accidentally set off the automatic
fire alarm. Owing to the care exercised by the firemen
few of the shoppers even knew that an alarm had been
sent out, and there was at no time any excitement main-
fested.
Worrell & Best, composed of Charles G. Worrell and
Edward C . Best, dealers in carpets and furniture at 2037
Third avenue, made an assignment on March 23 to John
A. Fitzpatrick, giving preferences to John Best,
Elizabeth Worrell, $540, and James A. Renwick,
They began business ia 1889, > and a few years later
claimed a capital of $32,000, but for some time business
has been very dull. The schedules show liabilities,
$3,737; nominal assets, $6,868; actual assets, $3,395.
The increasing sales of the Adjustable round nose stair
pad have necessitated more space for stock and salesroom,
and M. H. Marcus & Brother have recently leased another
large room at 115 Worth street. They carry a full assort-
ment of pads and carpet lining for immediate delivery.
It should be remembered that they are wholesalers of
comfortables, and show a big line of styles and qualities.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
They have just added buntings to their line. Write for
one of their thermometers.
Henry B. Pye, of Fennell & Pye, who operate two stores
in this city, in a conversation with a representative of The
Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review recently, said
that since he had gone up to Harlem he missed his daily
trips to the general carpet market and would be lost with-
out The Review, which keeps him in touch with everyone
and everything ia the carpet market.
FOREIGN NOTES.
It was stated at the annual meeting of the Kidder-
minster Carpet Weavers' Association, held recently, that
the number of unemployed weavers in the town is
decreasing.
The exports of carpets and rugs from the consular dis-
trict of Bradford, England, during the month of Feb-
ruary amounted in value to ;^1,481, as compared with
_;^4,134 for the same month during 1897.
The reason for the rise in Greenwich Inlaid Linoleum
shares is (according to the London Mail) the understanding
that the company has sold one of its foreign patents for a
price which will wipe off the deficits of the past two years,
and supply the company with the necessary funds to fight
its battles more successfully in the future.
The Inlaid Linoleum Company, Limited, is a new Eng-
lish concern formed to work the patents of Wallace G.
Thomson, of Halifax, England, for the manufacture of a
highly glazed or polished linoleum in which the pattern
goes through the fabric, so that it will last as long as the
cloth itself. Mr. Thomson has invented a machine which
is said to be simple and automatic, and which will produce
the goods in most intricate floral and geometrical designs.
The Charlton Hotel now being completed in the Hay-
market, London, is an imposing edifice externally, and,
if all accounts are true, the interior will rival any of the
gorgeous palaces in the neighborhood of Northumberland
aveniie. The contract for furnishing alone has been let
for ^150,000. The house fortunate enough to secure it is
Waring & Co., and their representative, Mr Lovell, is in
the United States in order to discover the latest designs.
The Kidderminster (England) Shuttle of the 19th ult.
says: "The wool market is said to be in a somewhat
peculiar condition. There is no guiding quotations for
worsteds. At the East India wool sales, held this week,
prices were easy at the start, but on Thursday they were a
tone dearer than at the January sales. Low qualities are
cheaper, but these do not affect the carpet trade Botany
wools are a shade dearer, while cotton shows a distinct
hardening tendency. Spinners are rather quiet. They
have plenty of contracts on their books, but instructions
do not come to hand as quickly as could be desired."
The Board of Trade returns for the carpet export busi-
ness for the past year show that the exports have declined
in both volume and value. Although so keen a competitor
in many other branches of trade, Germany is a big con-
sumer of English carpets, and her receipts have grown as
steadily as have those of Holland. Equally regular has
been the course of business with Belgium, France, Spain,
the United States, Chili and British North America; but,
unfortunately for our manufacturers, there has been a
steady down grade movement, the figures for each year
emphasizing the backward tendency . With the Argentine,
which in 1896 promised a revival, trade has fallen below
the returns of 1895, and although the Australasian demand
is nearly double the value of 1895, it is a few thousands
below that of 1896. — Furniture and Decoration.
NEW IMPROVEMENT IN BRUSSELS WEAVING.
THE Kidderminster (England) Shuttle of the l'2th ult.
says: "Samuel Holdsworth, of Chester road, Kid-
derminster, has just patented an ingenious arrangement
in Jacquards specially adapted for the manufacture of
Brussels and Wilton carpets. On Saturday last Mr. Holds-
worth invited the local manufacturers and their head
tuners to see the invention, which was on view at the
warehouse of G. Holdsworth & Co., Church street, as
well as to see specimens of the work done. The improve-
ment consists in an addition to the Jacquard as at present
in use, which can be attached in a few hours without dis-
turbing the machine, and evidently at a small cost. The
advantage is that in any of the ordinary sets of six or five
frame cards several other patterns can be produced, prac-
tically at no additional expense. A single thread of any
color, or the whole frame at work, can immediately be
taken out of the weaving as needed to vary the pattern.
This can be done without weaving operations being sus-
pended. The invention seems to be a very 'practical one,
and the experts present on Saturday did not think that
Mr. Holdsworth had overstated its capabilities. It is said
that several local manufacturers have decided to introduce
the improvement into their works."
ARNOLD, CONSTABLE & CO.
ARNOLD, Constable & Co. offer for immediate delivery
very extensive lines of China and Japan mattings of
their own importation. They show a great variety of
grades and an immense assortment of patterns, especially
in Japanese staple cotton warps and novelties and various
brands of China matting.
They call special attention also to their new styles in
jute and cotton Japanese rugs in blue and white and green
and white, and in all sizes from 1.6x3 to 0x12 feet.
The J. W. Dimick Company have maintained their wide
distribution of Velvets this season as heretofore. The
spring styles have been even more acceptable than pre-
vious season's lines and the fabric continues its favor as a
popular priced, free selling Velvet.
May — Is Miss Strongmind an advanced woman?
Pamela — Yes, she is always at the front in all the
bargain counter rushes. — Hartshorn's Roller.
Dudway — Smudgkins told me that he gets $40 a week
as salesman in a carpet store.
DuEBiLL — Is that so ? I wonder what he does with the
difference between what he gets and what he says he gets ?
... .The rumor that "Larry" Adams, formerly with
-John & James Dobson, had made an engagement with
Keefer & Coon as travehng agent is without foundation.
....D. McDowell, who has been confined to his house
for some time, is again on his feet and exhibiting a very
fine line of extra Ingrains and lower grades of goods for
the coming season.
Weber & Petzold have had aa extrordinarily good
season and have orders enough ahead to carry them
through until May. New styles for the autumn will be
ready in about a month.
. . . .William Henderson is rounding up a very prosper-
ous season and is now busy in getting up new styles and
colorings for the fall trade. That they will be fully up to
all former efiiorts goes without saying.
. . . .Henry Holmes & Sons are still running on overtime,
as was last reported, and there is no prospect of a " let
up." Their new styles are out and are just what might
have been expected from what we know of their former
successful efforts.
. . . .C. H. Masland & Sons are giving special attention
to the fall styles of their various grades of Ingrain carpets
and Art Squares, the result of which will doubtless.be
one of the strongest lines they have ever exhibited. They
will be ready in good time for the fall season.
....Dornan Brothers are running a portion of their
looms on recent orders and are hopeful of a material in-
crease in the near future. As a new branch in their pro-
duction we may mention a line of very handsome hearth
rugs, made of the same fabric as their 4-4 Brussels carpets.
.... Henry Dickel & Son, Wanetah Mills, Ella street,
have had the busiest seasou they have ever enjoyed since
the foundation of their plant, and have orders on hand that
will require at least thirty days to fill. New designs and
colorings for the fall trade will be out on April 15.
. . . .Henry Rath, Jr., Fifth street and Columbia avenue,
is doing a fairly good trade in his Extra Supers and lower
grades of Ingrains, and it bids fair to continue indefinitely.
Mr. Rath has enlarged his office and now has the benefit
of a window on the Fifth street front of his factory. The
new prism light will be arranged in the window, and then
Mr. Rath will be fully equipped without the use of
electricity.
.... Nearly all the Kensington carpet manufacturers are
hard at work upon their new goods for the autumn trade.
A glance at a few of the new desigas and colorings is suffi-
cient to convince us that the fall styles will far exceed any
former efforts, both in design and color tints. Darker and
more positive shades will be largely employed, and the
new weaves will bring out the " Brussels effects " most
perfectly. Most of the manufacturers seem well pleased
with the past season's trade, and are looking forward to
a large demand for the fall trade.
.... Hirst & Roger, Kensington and Allegheny avenue,
have a one bowl Lorimer scouring machine for sale. It is
as good as new and up to date in every respect.
....James & Geo. D. Bromley are running nearly all
their looms on an increasing trade. They propose to offer
a very strong line of new designs and colorings for the
next season and will be ready to show them in a few
weeks. Mr. Bromley is sojourning for a few days at
Atlantic City.
Keefer & Coon are about adding Art Squares to their
already large production and will soon offer the first fruits
of their broad looms to the trade. One loom is now in
position and five more will soon follow. That the firm
will be perfectly successful in this new departure goes
without saying.
....Carson & Irwin, Ingrain manufacturers, Hancock
street, above Lehigh avenue, have had a big run on their
goods from the first of the season down to the present
writing and their looms are still in active operation. They
feel that they are largely indebted to the Crompton power
loom for their phenomenal success.
. . . .The Bromley Brothers Carpet Company are running
to the full extent of their capacity as usual, with the pros-
pect of continuing for a considerable period longer. Rugs
and Art Squares are largely called for, as are also their
various grades of Ingrains. Their new venture in Pro-
Brussels is a happy hit, creating a demand that requires
additional facilities to promptly fill.
. . . .Ricker& Logan, 3411 Howard street, have had all of
their twenty-eight power looms in full operation during the
season now closing, and are working hard upon their new
lines for the fall demand. Their next output will be the
strongest they have ever yet offered. This enterprising
young firm have met with extraordinary success from their
first start in the manufacturing of Ingrains.
. . . .Thomas Huston & Co., of the Globe Mills, Ti-enton
avenue and Dauphin street, who turn out a very superior
grade of extra Ingrain carpet, have gotten up the strong-
est line of fall styles they have yet placed upon the
market. The designs are decidedly unique in style, and
there are several striking new departures in coloring.
They will evidently be a success. Trade with them dur-
ing the past season has been satisfactorj'.
. . . .John Dunlap & Sons, Cambria Mills, Eleventh and
Cambria streets, have had a very fair trade during the past
season, especially with their Three-ply grades. The run
upon these goods has been something extraordinary, con-
sidering the many other fabrics with which they are. in
direct competition. Great pains have been taken by the
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
Messrs. Dunlap in getting out their new fall offerings, and
they are certain to meet the approbation of all who see
them.
. . . .The Kensington Carpet Company, which has stores
on North Front and North Eighth streets, has removed its
North Eighth street stock from 306 to 138 on the same
thoroughfare.
. . . .Robert H. Smith, carpet and furniture dealer, 1138
South Seventeenth street, made an assignment for the
benefit of creditors to Harry L. Mullin. A schedule of real
estate is to be furnished. The deed is dated March 11,
1898, and was filed in the recorder's office on the 12th.
.... Thomas Caves & Sons are rapidly putting their new
Tapestry carpet mill in order for starting, and the looms
are nearly all in position. The plant will be operated in
connection with their Velvet mill in Manayunk. The
Velvet looms are being run until 8 p. m. through the week.
The firm's success in Velvets has been phenomenal, and
they will use their best endeavor to earn a like experience
with their new Tapestry plant. It is hardly necessary for
us to say that the Ingrain branch of their business is in a
highly flourishing condition, with all the looms running on
full time.
.... Hirst & Roger are getting settled in their new mills
rapidly, and when completed will have one of the finest
plants for the production of Tapestry and Velvet carpets
in the country. The building on Allegheny avenue is
three stories in height, each floor being 160x55 feet. This
building is utilized principally for printing the yarns, and
the weaving of the fabrics, although there is a very fine
room, 30xJ:0 feet, handsomely fitted for showing samples,
while there are also designing rooms and offices con-
veniently situated and in favorable light. About sixty
looms are now in operation weaving both Velvet and
Tapestry carpets, and they have been run to their fullest
capacity during the entire season now closing. With their
new facilities and larger accommodations the firm will be
enabled to offer far greater attractions for all dealers in
their particular line of goods. Directly in the rear of the
mill, fronting on Allegheny avenue, is another large build-
ing four stories in height, the rooms being 160x42 feet.
The building was formerly occupied by William Johnson
as a yarn mill. It is built of stone and peculiarly well
adapted to the uses for which the firm intend putting it.
Their new designs and colorings for the coming season
will soon be ready for exhibition, and they are several
stiips in advance of all their former efforts. It may not be
known to the trade generally that Messrs. Hirst and Roger
are both graduates of the great carpet manufacturing con-
cern of John Crossley & Sons, of Halifax, England, and
learned there the " art and mystery " of producing Tapes-
try carpets.
First Carpet Salesman — Do you think there is any
significance in the fact that J. & J. Dobson, who were
formerly located on Chestnut street, Philadelphia, have
taken new quarters on Filbert street ?
Second Carpet Salesman — Well, that's a nut that you'll
have to get somebody else to crack.
AN INTERESTING DECISION.
IN the case of Dempsey v. Dobson, which came before the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania recently on an appeal,
the point at issue was whether results of an employee's skill
and labor in the service of his employer belonged exclu-
sively to the employee or not. The plaintiff, Dempsey, was
a color mixer in the factory of J. & J. Dobson, the carpet
manufacturers. He alleged that when he left the employ
of the Messrs. Dobson his color book, containing recipes
for the mixing of dyes, was retained by the Messrs. Dob-
son, and he brought suit against them for damages, claim-
ing that in the trade of carpet making it was the custom
to regard the color mixer's skill as his own exclusive prop-
erty, and that the employer for whose use the colors were
devised had no title therein.
The beginning and progress of the suit have been noted
in The Review, and its end is now indicated in the
decision of the Supreme Court, which is as follows:
It is one of the requisites of a good custom that it must be rea-
sonable. Another is that it must not be contrary to law. The cus-
tom sought to be set up here was an unreasonable one. The color
mixer, like the designer and the weaver, is employed because of his
supposed ability to serve his employer in the particular line of labor
which he is expected to follow. » » * The services of each and
all these mechanics are requisite to the production of the carpets.
* * * If a color mixer could at his pleasure carry off the recipes
and color books from his employer's factory and refuse to permit
their further use except upon his own terms, it would be in his power
to inflict enormous loss on the manufacturer at any moment, and not
merely to disturb, but to destroy, his business. Such a custom
would not be reasonable, and could not be sustained. But it is
against the law. The courts of the United States, of this State, and,
so far as I have been able to examine, of all the States in the Union,
recognize the rule laid down when this case was here in 1896 [174
Pa. St., 132] that " the designs and recipes so made for an employer
are, as between his employee and himself, his, for the purpose of his
own manufacturing business. Even if his employee had obtained
letters patent for his formula, protecting himself thereby against the
public, still the employer's right to continue its use in his own busi-
ness would be protected by the United States courts."
THE SALEM OIL CLOTH WORKS.
William Morris' new line of floor oil cloths for the fall
trade is now ready, and comprises about 120 pat-
terns, including rugs. In novelty, originality and attract-
iveness of designs and colorings the line well represents
the exceptionally high reputation of Mr. Morris as a man-
ufacturer. In view of the superior quality of the goods
and the variety of fine patterns in every grade, Mr. Morris
is well justified in counting upon a business even larger
than he has ever done before. The rugs are likely to
attract wide attention, special care having been taken to
make them a very strong feature in the line.
William Morris, proprietor of the works, gives his per-
sonal attention to the business, and W. F. Springer has
charge of the selling department, as he has had for many
years past. John F. Prendergast is buyer and general
office man, and George B. Rumsey is in charge of other
departments of the works.
A patent was granted to Francis H. Good on the 15th
ult. for a carpet cleaning machine A description of the
features and an illustration of this new machine will be
found in our " Patents" column of this issue.

Pbillp MacKay.
Philip MacKay, secretary of the American Linoleum
Manufacturing Company, died at his residence in Bay
Ridge, L. I., on Friday, March 18, of pneumonia. He
failed to appear at his office at Joseph Wild & Co.'s., the
agents of the company, on the preceding Saturday, and on
Monday sent word that he was suiTering from a chill.
Nothing serious was apprehended until almost the hour of
his death, which came suddenly at 10 o'clock in the
morning.
Mr. MacKay was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1851
and came to this country in 1876. He was with the Singer
Manufacturing Company for seventeen years and joined
the forces of Joseph Wild & Co. in June, 1893, succeed-
ing Elijah Bliss as secretary
of the linoleum company.
In this position he won a
marked success.
There is no safer guide to
a man's character than the
"jury of the vicinage." Those
who have known him most
intimately must have known
him most thoroughly, and no
higher tribute need be paid
to Philip MacKay than can be
found in the following resolu-
tion passed at a special meet-
ing of the board of trustees
of the American Linoleum
Manufacturing Company,
held for the purpose on
March 23 :
Resolved, That in the death (if
Mr. Philip MacKay the American
Linoleum Manufacturing Com-
pany loses a most valuable officer,
and the board deeply deplore this
loss. During the five years he
has filled the office of secretary he
has discharged the duties devolv-
ing upon him conscientiously and
in a thoroughly efficient manner
to the entire satisfaction of the
trustees.
And be it further resolved that
this board tender to the family of our departed friend their sincere
sympathy in this their great bereavement, and that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the family.
The funeral services were held at his late residence on the
Shore road. Bay Ridge, on the 21st ult. The Rev. Walter
Rockwood Ferris, of the Bay Ridge Presbyterian Church,
officiated, assistedby the Rev. Dr. Barr, of Newbtirg, N. Y.
The floral offerings from Mr. MacKay's associates in the
house and in the company were very beautiful.
Philip MacKay was a man of whom it was a pleasure to
be an acquaintance and an honor to be a friend. Outside
of his business duties he had only one fad. He was an
amateur horticulturist of the first class, and as his
friends passed through his grounds on their way
to pay their last respects more than one expressed
the wish that he could have lived to see the flowers
then in bud arrive at their bloom.
He belonged to the Royal Arcanum, the Knights of
Honor, the Ridge Club, of Bay Ridge, and was a trustee
of the Bay Ridge Presbyterian Church, of which he was
an active and valuable member.
He leaves a widow and six children. His brother,
Henry MacKay, is one of the partners in the house of
Joseph Wild & , Co. and a director in the American
Linoleum Manufacturing Company, and another brother,
Charles, is secretary pro tem. of the same company.
PHILIP MacKAY.
Fred H. Dickerson.
Fred H. Dickerson, carpet and furniture dealer, Dover,
N. J., died on February 16, the cause of death being apo-
plexy. He was born on April 8, 1860, at Dover, and was
educated in its public schools and at Hackettstown. His
father, Mahlon H., had been
in business in Dover many
years, carrying carpets, fur-
niture, &c., in connection
with dry goods and groceries.
Shortly before the death of
the senior Dickerson, the
business was turned over to
his sons, Edward L. and Fred
H. , who continued it under
the style of E. L. & F. H.
Dickerson until March 1,
1895, when they dissolved
partnership, Edward taking
the dry goods and grocery
business and Fred the carpet
and furniture, which he had
since carried on.
The decedent was enter-
prising in business, big
hearted in social life, genial
and generous, and the whole
community that knew him
so well, as well as his friends
in the trade, mourn h i s
death.
He was a member of the
Royal Arcanum. He is
survived by a six year old
datighter and a widow, who
will contintie the business under the style of Mrs. F. H.
Dickerson.
Harold Broadfield, a director of the carpet manufactur-
ing firm of James Humphries & Sons, Limited, Kidder-
minster, England, died in that city on the 6th ult. of

Manager Frank Millington, of the Boston Store's carpet
department, has just returned from the East, where he
_. , has been buying goods. He expects to show
„ . y, the trade a few points with his purchaseof
$10,000 worth of Dobson's stock, which will
be ready for the showroom shortly.
T. B. Shoaff has been in town.
Thos. Evoy, of Evoy & Flanigan, has gone East.
George Coon, with Keefer & Coon's line of Ingrains
and Extra Supers, has been visiting the trade.
Montgomery Ward & Co. have secured a permit to
erect a twelve story building at Nos. 117 to 120 Michigan
avenue.
Joseph Weber has just returned to his duties as man-
ager of Mandel Brothers' carpet and rug department,
after a sickness of two weeks.
The offices of the Columbia Shade Cloth Company are
now at 131 Wabash avenue, the company having moved
from' its old offices on Madison street.
Walter J. Raymer, Chicago representative of the Ameri-
can Pin Company, 157 Michigan avenue, is the Republican
nominee for alderman from the Fifteenth Ward.
George B. Swayne will be in the city Monday for a short
stay. He is on his way home after a trip to China and
Japan for mattings and rugs for W. & J. Sloane.
J. C. Carroll, of the Chicago Carpet Company, has ex-
clusive control in Chicago of J. & J. Dobson's new line of
12-4 Axminsters and reports a fine trade in them.
A fire in the building 215 to 221 Wabash avenue, on the
16th ult. , caused the death of twelve people, and about
twenty-five more were injured. Among the occupants of
the building were R. C. Weichbrodt, dealer in Turkish
rugs, and the Decorators' Wall Paper Company.
Snowdon Fetter, salesman for John M. Smyth, has
devised a carpet exhibitor, and fifteen of them are now in
use in the carpet department of the house. It is an
inclined platform about 5 feet scjuare, the highest part of
which is 3 feet from the floor and the lowest part about 1
foot. A clamp holds the samples fast to the platform at
the higher end, and they are easily thrown back over the
clamp for the convenience of the customer.

George W. Ehlerding has withdrawn from the firm of
W. N. Hind & Co., carpet and furniture dealers, 213 West
Fifth street, Cincinnati, his interest having been pur-
chased by Mr. Hind, who continues under the old firm
style.
O. F. Sp.-'iTE has become sole selling agent for the Tren-
ton Oil Cloth Company, who, as previously noted in The
Review, are about to engage in the manufacture of lino-
leum on a very extensive scale. Mr. Spate is well
known to the trade throughout the country, and is
exceptionally well cjualified for the work he has under-
taken.
GROWING POPULARITY OF HODGES
FIBER CARPETS AND SQUARES.
THE increasing sales of the Hodges fiber carpets, rugs
and Art Squares is a proof of the merit and attract-
iveness of these goods. They maybe now found in the
stocks of the leading retail carpet houses of the country,
and are counted as a permanent feature.
The prejudice of buyers who at first looked with doubt
upon the durability of these goods has been wiped away
with experience in handling them.
There has never been a doubt in the mind of Frank F.
Hodges that the carpets bearing his name would win
their v/ay into the trade's and public favor. He has al-
ways invited the severest tests as to durability and appro-
priateness for floor coverings, and the large business now
being done is a tribute to Mr. Hodges' judgment and per-
sistence. Spring patterns show color effects not before
attempted, some of the new styles being in regular Brussels
colorings. The plain color fillings have made a big hit,
especially as they are fast in color, which is also true of the
vari-colored goods.
The Art Squares and rugs are in extraordinary demand,

CARPET THREAD.
THE extended use of machines in carpet sewing has
largely increased the demand for spool carpet thread,
so that the greatest consumption of thread is in this form.
The Meyer spool carpet thread is adapted for use on any
carpet sewing machine, is strong, free from knots and
bunches. It runs smoothly on the machine, produces an
even stitch and is economical to use. It is also adapted
for hand sewing.
This thread is sold by John C. Meyer & Co. , 87 Summer
street, Boston, Mass., who also sell a fine skein carpet
thread and wound bobbins for machines. The price list
will be found in our price list columns, and Meyer & Co
will send a sample of their threads on application.
Under date of Teheran, February 7, Minister Hardy sends
to the State Department a note from the Persian Foreign
Office to the effect that the exportation of lamb skins is
strictly prohibited, in order to stop the wholesale slaughter
of the lambs and the resulting advance in the price of mut-
ton. "If lamb skins are found in the possession of foreigners
or natives, for the purposes of trade, they will be consid-
ered culpable, and a fine of 5 tomans (50 krans or $5),
without any right to appeal, will be exacted from them."

EFFECTIVE
WINDOW
DISPLAY.
WINDOW DRESSING
riGURE 1 is specially designed for
showing a model of a battleship
constructed with a wood frame and
covered with carpeting. Get two
strips of wood, 5 inches wide, about 4
feet long and one-fourth inch thick,
and nail the ends together at (a) (a),
expand the centre and nail in a wood
deck. Use a piece of broom handle
for the mast (b). A box will do for
the part (c), and a smaller box for
(d). Turrets (e) are round bores.
The stacks, (f) (f), are rolls of car-
pet. Next cover the sides, top and
all exposed surfaces with the kind of
carpet goods it is desired to exhibit.
Take some round pieces of wood,
blacken them and insert in the turret
sides to represent cannon. Wires
(g) will do to hold the small boats,
which may be procured at any toy
store. Fig 2 shows the method
of making steam issue from the
stacks in representation of smoke. (A) is a section of the
roll of carpet representing the stack, (b) a tin funnel, (c)
a water tin and (d) a small oil lamp. The steam generated
rises through the funnel and looks like smoke issuing from
the furnaces.
"The device shown in Fig. 3 maybe used as a window
display in a carpet store. Only the frame construc-
tion is shown, and this is calculated to be trimmed or hung
with carpet fabrics. The rims are made of 3 feet 10
inch wood rims. The axle consists of a short piece of
1 inch gas pipe, through which is passed a longer piece of
three-fourth inch pipe, with its ends resting on grindstone
bearings placed on top of a light frame of wood. All
these parts can be bought at small cost of hardware
dealers and assembled by any clerk who has a little
patience and ingenuity.
Two harness rings are placed around the axle and to
these the spokes are fastened. On the front rim are ar-
ranged the articles it is desired to show. The spokes, six
in number, are wood. On the back rim may be placed
some articles if wished, but of course the front rim display
will show the best. A small box can be fastened to each
of the braces that hold the rim together, and these serve
as cars. The boxes should be covered with carpet of
bright design. On the front side of the frame which sup-
ports the wheel may be a display of goods, and on the rear
side a line of new patterns. When placed in the show
window the space around the base of the supporting frame
is filled with goods.

window, is a display of five rows of
plated ware, such 'as is used in con-
nection with drapery. The front row
consists of silver plated pole rings,
the next of general trimmings, and
so on to the back row, progressing
from small to large as they go back.
Each row contains goods uniformly
alike, and all are suspended from
neatly covered wood strips by means
of fine gauge wire which it is difificult
to see. What attracts the attention
of curious pedestrians is the legerde-
main of a lot of bright articles set
quivering every few minutes by an
employee behind the scene, which is
accomplished by tipping the case;
The effect is heightened by the mir-
ror in the back of the case, which
duplicates and intensifies the illusion.
T~H0SE merchants who have at times
adopted the continuous plan of
showing new goods by winding one roll to another with
the carpet open and across the window usually fail to get
good results, owing to the uneven winding. Fig. 4
shows how to overcome this. BLiild wood brackets (b) at
each side and bore holes for a shaft of wood (c) in each
drum to bear in the same as shown. The drum is shown
in full in Fig. 5. The cylindrical part can be made solid
and the shaft (c) put in by drilling a hole in each end.
The drum should be about 8 inches in diameter, covered
with sand cloth and provided with wood flanges (b). The
flanges will keep the edges of the carpet in line when wind-
ing. A carpenter can make the drums for a dollar or two,
and the rest of the work may be done by anyone who is
handy with tools. After the drums are set up in the frames,
one at each side of the window, bore an inch hole through
the window floor for the shaft (d), Fig. 4. Put a grooved
wood wheel 7 inches in diameter at (e), and another 7 inch
wheel at (g), on a stand. Connect the two with a band (h),
either by motor power or by a hand power crank in the
cellar. A continuous line of patterns are sewn together
into an endless belt and put around the drums. When the
drum at the left is turned by the mechanism in the cellar,
of course the roll winds around, showing the display to
good advantage to passers. The window is so arranged
with goods that only the moving carpet is exhibited.

well-known fact that the more goods a merchant can dis-
play the more he will sell. Besides, the sampling of mer-
chandise upon the boxes makes the various articles much
easier to find. The sample is much more prominent than
is the label on the original package. Labels are nearly all
similar in shape and color. The only distinction is found
in the matter that is printed upon them. In dusting, too,
the shelf box saves time. As it fits closely between the
shelves no dust accumulates on the top. In both instances
this time saved is time which the merchant is paying in
clerk hire. Let a handsome new set of trimmings be dis-
played, then note how quickly the eye of some patron will
be caught by it.
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST NEW YORK.
IN a recently issued circular on the subject of railroad dis-
crimination against New York the Merchants' Associa-
tion states that more than twenty-five railroads covering
or controlling the gateways to all the territory between
the Rocky Mountains and Mississippi River and between
the Ohio River and the Great Lakes have combined
against New York, their purpose being to dam the natural
channels of trade and force it to follow artificial ones for
the benefit of Western cities.
The practice has been going on covertly for several
years, but has recently been publicly acknowledged by the
refusal of these railroad companies to grant reduced fares
to merchants visiting New York, and the fact that they
have at the same time reduced their rates to St. Louis
and Chicago.
The Merchants' Association proposes to fight for equal
treatment; not for favors, but for justice. It wants what
other cities get — nothing more. It proposes to fight dif-
ferentials, which are diverting our export trade to other
ports, scattering its shipping interests and making its
great wharfage and warehouse interests unprofitable. It
proposes to fight illegal passenger discriminations
which turn the tide of travel away from this city. It
proposes to fight freight combines that reduce the freight
charges of St. Louis and Chicago to one-half what New
York has to pay.
In order to meet the reduced fares which the railroads
of the Central Passenger Association offers to merchants
who will go to Chicago and St. Louis and stay away from
New York, the Merchants' Association proposes to make
independent arrangements for reduced fares for mer-
chants visiting New York from all parts of the United
States. It also proposes to concentrate passenger and
freight traffic to and from this city upon the railroads and
steamship lines that do not discriminate against New
York.
For this work the Merchants' Association requires a
fund of $100,000 to $300,000, and it invites contributions
from all citizens of New York.
Checks may be made payable to Charles H. Webb,
treasurer. The office of the Merchants' Association is in
the New York Life Insurance Building, Broadway and
Leonard street.
WORSTED GOODS DUTIABLE
AS MANUFACTURES OF WOOL.
IN a recent decision the United States Supreme Court
says : ' ' Worsted is but wool spun and twisted in a
particular manner," and as such is a manufacture of
wool." The suit arose concerning an importation of
worsted dress goods, imported August 29, 1894. The
appraisers assessed duty under the provisions of para-
graph 395, that is, 12 cents per square yard and 50 per
cent. The importers protested on the ground that the
goods were "not manufactures of wool." The Wilson
law became operative August 28, 1894, except the sched-
ule providing for "manufactures of wool," the date
for this schedule being January 1, 1895. The importers
contended that worsted was not a manufactvire of wool,
and that the goods were dutiable at 40 or 50 per cent, ad
valorem. The decision of the General Appraisers was
reversed by the Circuit Court, and subsequently was sus-
tained by the Circuit Court of Appeals. The Supreme
Court has reversed the decision of the Circuit Court,
and has settled the vexed question in deciding that worsted
is a manufacture of wool.
NEW TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE COMPANY.
ASSEMBLYMAN FiTZGERALD has introduced a bill in the
New York State Assembly incorporating the Mer-
chants' Transportation and Storage Company, with a
capital of $100,000, which maybe increased to $5,000,000.
There are to be thirteen directors, the company is to
operate ships and barges to be used in trade and com-
merce upon the ocean, rivers, canals and waterways, and
to acquire elevators, warehouses, terminal facilities, and
to transport, elevate and store freight.
To the end that business of the company may not be
controlled by any railroad or other transportation com-
pany, a majority, or seven of the board of directors, will
be chosen by a majority vote of three voting trustees, one
of whom will be chosen by a majority vote of the stock
represented at the annual meeting for the election of the
minority directors, and the other two of whom will be the
president of the New York Produce Exchange and the
president of the Buffalo Merchants' Exchange as repre-
sentatives of the commercial interests of the State.

The Kidderminster Shuttle of the 5th inst. , says:
" Heilner Brothers, the well-known carpet dealers of
Dundee, have been appointed representatives for W. & J.
Sloane, of New York, for Great Britain. The firm have
for several years been sole agents for W. & J. Sloane for
the rest of Europe."
The Kentucky Court of Appeals held, in the recent case
of Cotton V. Crawford et al. , that while the policy of
making contracts the effect of which is to destroy com-
petition in business is not encouraged by the courts,
nevertheless where a plain agreement is made between a
party selling out his interest in a business and his vendees
that he is not to re-enter upon the same business in the
same town while they are engaged therein the contract
will be upheld.

A WHITTALL MILLS SOCIETY CELEBRATION.
T*
"he Whittall Mills' Aid
Society, composed of
employees in the carpet
factory of M, J. Whittall,
South Worcester, Mass.,
celebrated the tenth anni-
versary of its birth by a
dinner at the City Hotel,
Worcester, on the night of
the 16th ult. About sev-
enty-five members of the society
were present, and among the guests
were Messrs. Matthew J. Whittall
and Alfred Thomas. The principal
speech of the evening was made by
Mr. Whittall. In introducing him the toastmaster, Will-
iam Greaves, said that he had begun work seventeen years
ago. South Worcester being at that time unbuilt and un-
inhabitable. It was then a swamp or a sand pit, with but
a few houses on either right or left. Worcester had
64,000 inhabitants, and now South Worcester was a city in
itself. There had been no one to build up this section of
the city and do so much for its people after it was built as
Matthew J. Whittall. He would say that some of the
credit belonged to his workmen, but the credit was his,
and thousands of admiring hearts knew it. There had
been talk of a separation of capital and labor. Capital was
needed and could not live without labor, and vice versa.
And when employer and employee joined together in such
a gathering as this it was a good omen for South Worces-
ter. At all times Mr. Whittall had given invitation to his
people to enjoy the beauty of his grounds, which were
the pride of the city, and which attracted many an ad-
mirer of beautiful residences and beautiful grounds to
that section of the city.
In responding Mr. Whittall said: "I wish to say first,
as the toastmaster has spoken of it, that I should be
pleased to have you visit the grounds at any time ; there
will be more pleasure to have you come than should you
stay away. A great delight has it been to me to have 700
school children troop by and enjoy the scene, and to have
the workmen pass by three times or more a day. When
the grounds were first laid out Dr. Conaty said that I
would have to build a fence, but I said I would try the
experiment first, and if a fence were found necessary it
would be built. And you know that to-day there is no
fence. Several times I have been asked to move to an-
other part of the city, but I feel just as much at home
there as you do, and it is not my intention to move away.
It is a pleasure to meet you, and, forgetting for a while
the routine of work, touch elbows with one another at
least once a year. A banquet yearly would be a good
thing for this reason."
" St. Louis still stands third among the wool markets
of the United States," said B. Harris, wool buyer. " Our
receipts for last year were more than for 1896, being about
30,000,000 pounds; in 1896, 15,000,000 pounds; in 1895,
22,000,000; 1894, 25,000,000."— Ex.
QUALITY VERSUS PRICE.
HARLES BiGGs, a member of the National
Association of Credit Men, in discussing
* recently the subject of low priced mer-
chandise in the retail trade said: " The
demand for low priced merchandise.
East, West, North and South, has been
especially intensified during the last few
years of business depression. Price has
been made the keynote of all transactions
between buyer and seller. The shelves
of the retail merchant have been filled
with trashy merchandise, which has given little real ser-
vice and still less satisfaction to the consumer. The
excuse for this has been the supply offered was selected in
view of the actual demand. This was probably true. At
the present time, however, it must be admitted that there
is a vast improvement in the financial condition of the
mass of the people of the land. With this improvement
there has already come in some sections a marked change
in the character of the demand. A larger percentage of
the better grades in all classes of merchandise is being
called for by the consumer. Therefore it behooves every
retailer to give to the selection of his stock most careful
consideration. It is to his interest to adjust his purchases
in accordance with the changed condition. He can with
very little effort, and without enlarging the number of
transactions, considerably increase the volume of his sales
by presenting to his trade articles in which quality rather
than price is shown to be the chief merit, and by advocat-
ing the purchase of such goods by reason of the advan-
tages to the consumer which follow. The opportunity for
pursuing this plan is presented in nearly all lines of mer-
chandise, and it is certainly well worth while for the
merchant to study the temper of the times. With the
turn of the tide that has set in all should endeavor to reach
the high water mark of success and improvement in the
equality and price of merchandise sold, which will result in
a corresponding increase in gross sales with no greater
cost of doing business."
TAXING DEPARTMENT STORES.
ENATOR Davis has introduced into the New
York State Senate a bill designed to restrict
the field of department stores. It provides
for the taxation of such stores substantially
as follows: The various lines of trade com-
monly handled by them are classified into
twenty-five groups, and the dry goods store
is prohibited from conducting more than
one of them except by paying into the
public treasury an annual tax of $100 for adding the
second group (clothing), $5,000 for the third group
(jewelry), $10,000 for the fourth group (groceries), $25,000
for the fifth group (meat), $40,000 for the sixth group
(wines and spirits), $80,000 for the seventh group (furni-
ture), and $100,000 for any other group. The measure is
intended to apply only to places of 10,000 or more inhab-
itants, this exemption being made in favor of the country
store. It is not to apply to manufacturing warehouses,
pawnbrokers or auctioneers.

PHILA-CELPHIA, Msi-oa 18, 1898.
Editok or TiJjE PujBuc JLedcer;
In j'ottx isstie of tbe ITfh inst, yoru editorial ' ' On Sen-ing the
Public " is not couciefl ia tie -Qsually courteous tenas one is accus-
tomed to read in the coiumns of the I>edger, Without -srishing to
engage in newspaper controversy, J deem it only a duty to reply to
the language you employ in holding up the ser\-ices of Senator f^uaj-
to bis countiy and constituents to pulalic scorn. That I shotJd tate
Buch action may be considered unnecessarj' and gratuitous ; never-
theless, with the Imowiedge which obtained during the pendency of
the Wilson Tariff bill in the Senate, the great services of Senator
<^aa}- to his constituents tirough the eSorts made almost smgle
ha?ided to secure an a2ieliora.tion of the hard conditions attached to
the duties relating to carpets, it would bean act of gross ingratitude
if I were to permit your words to pass unchallenged.
Let Senator <^uay be what he may as a politician (which aspect of
your criticism I do not touch upon), and however mxxchs. criticism of
him as such is deserved, I can truthfully say as one of his consti-
tuents occupying a position to know, that bis services to the carpet
miaauEacturing industry have been invaluable, and in ever)' way
worthy of the highest commendation. 1 unhesitatingly declare that
with the supjxirt of a dozen Senators equally fortified with printed
matter for argument (as was he) and as thoroughly determined,
they could have overthroiynthe Wilson Tariff measure in the Senate,
and by this saved the country in a large degree from the terrible
business distress that followed the passage of that bill and which
still continues, notwithstanding the passage of the Dingley Act with
its improved protective features.
It a confirmation of this opinion is desired, I beg leave to refer you
to the Hon. John Sanford, Amsterdam, N. Y. ; Alexander Crow, Jr. ,
and Samuel B. Stinson, both of this city, all of whom were personally
cognizant of Senator Quay's efficiency at the time described, and
again later during the consideration of the Dingley Tariff bill in the
Senate. In my opinion your reflections upon Senator Quay regard-
ing his alleged " non -usefulness to the business of the country and
his constituents " had better been left unsaid, because they raise
doubts as to the soundness of your whole position.

A SUCCESSFUL MERCHANT'S
OPINIOW ON ADVERTISING.
THE rooms of the Merchants' Associa-
tion, tMs city, on the 17th ult.
Robert C, Ogden, re^dent partner
of John Wanamaker, made an ad-
dress on the subject of advertising,
; In the course of his remarks Mr,
Ogden saidi " The success of a bua-
ness depends on three things — ^mer-
chandise, service and advertising;
and advertising I regard as the dy-
namic power of the Ijusiness. It
makes the business when taken seri-
ously. One trouble about it is that
merchants do not always take it seriously. Under present
conditions no business can be conducted successfully
without advertising. It is the ftmdamental principle of
business, and should receive the attention of the head of
the busaness. The columns of the newspapers are the
rostrum of the merchant from which he speaks to the peo-
ple whom he wishes to influence. Advertising should
always be true. It should be a test of the character
of the merchant. Advertising should never he stupid.
It shonld be so attractive as to gain the attention of the
reader whether he wishes it or not. It should always be
in good English, the illustrations should he of h:^h artistic
character and the printing in good tj'pe. "

A NEW CONVICT LABOR BILL.
EPRESENTATIVE COCHRANE, of NeW York,
has introduced in Congress a bill de-
signed to protect free labor from prison
competition. It provides that no person
shall knowingly transport, or cause to
be delivered for transportation, for com-
mercial purposes, from any State or
Territory in which there are in whole
or in part manufactured any goods,
wares or merchandise, in whole or in
part the product of convict labor in any penitentiary,
prison or reformatory, or other establishment in which
convict labor is employed, into any other State or Terri-
tory or into the District of Columbia. All goods, wares,
and merchandise made or manufactured in whole or in
part in any State or Territory by convicts shall be branded
or stamped in a legible and permanent manner, where it
can be plainly seen and easily read, " Prison made; made
by convicts at ," giving the name of the peniten-
tiary, prison, reformatory or penal institution and of the
city, town or village and State or Territory where made.
All goods made by convict labor, transported without
the proper mark, shall be forfeited to the United States,
and all persons who violate the provisions of this act shall
be punLshed by a fine of $"250 or by imprisonment not ex-
ceeding one year, or both, in the discretion of the court.
UNION LABOR STIPULATION IN A CONTRACT.
AVERY singular contract was made recently between
George H. Fuller & Co., of Chicago, and Kauf-
man Brothers, proprietors of a large department store
at Pittsburg, Pa. It provides that none but union men
shall be employed in the erection of a new business struc-
ture for the Messrs. Kaufman to cost $130,000. The
most important part of the contract reads as follows :
" It is especially agreed that all labor under this contract
shall be performed by local union workmen, and the con-
tractors are to furnish a bond with approved security for
$50,000 conditioned upon the faithful performance of their
part of the agreement. "

The French consul at Riga, Russia, says that the use of
linoleum has developed enormously at Riga within the
last few years. Linoleum, which was formerly seen only
in the dwellings of the well-to-do, is now found in very
humble homes. This progress is due to the Societe
Franco-Russe, whose works, situated near Riga, are called
Provodnik. The factory dates back to 1889. In that year
the company sold 5,000 square archines (1 archine equals
28 inches) of linoleum. At present the annual produc-
tion of Provodnik amounts to 600,000 square archines, but
owing to this enormous production prices have fallen 60
per cent.
PACIFIC COAST NOTES.
The carpet and furniture trade is a long way from lively, and con-
sequently the dealers feel that they have just cau.se for complaint.
The spring trade has hardly opened up yet,
San Francisco, although it probablv will very soon, if other
March 19. years are criterions to go by. Seattle, Wash.,
appears to be doing about all the business that
is to be transacted, especially in Klondike outfitting, although
this is not to mfer by any means that San Francisco is not doing
her share also. The Klondike business does not, however, directly
interest the furniture business, as departing gold seekers are not
prone to carry furniture.
T. Brilliant is expecting his spring furniture.
M. Friedman & Co. report a good carpet and furniture trade.
R. Burgess will shortly start an upholstery business at Juneau,
Alaska.
G. W. Patterson has sold out his furniture store at Hillsboro,
Oregon.
Robert Coulter & Brother, 227 Sutter street, are doing a large
rattan furniture business.
J. B. Lucas has opened a furniture store in the building on the
corner of Broadway and Second avenue, Ballard, Wash.
C. F. Weber & Co., dealers in bank and office furniture, opera
chairs &c. , have removed from 300 to 306 Post street to 334 Post
street.
Harrold, Balcher & Allen, who occupy beautiful quarters .at
Sutter and Mason streets, are doing a large spring business in an-
tique furniture, fine upholstery and portieres.
I. N. Walter, of D. N. & E. Walter & Co., leaves for Europe the

E. P. Ackerman is hustling in the southern part of the State for
the same firm.
Joseph Meunier, assignee of the Chauvin-Fant Furniture Com-
pany at Butte, Mon., has filed a report. The report shows the re-
ceipts by the assignee to amount to $11,309.05, the disbursements

among the creditors. Golden Gate.
INSTALRAENT SALES IN ILLINOIS.
THE Supreme Court of the State of Illinois has recently
handed down a decision in which it holds that " No
chattel mortgage executed by a married man or a married
woman on household goods shall be valid unless joined in
by the husband or wife, as the case may be." The de-
cision was in the case of Lucius B. Mantonya v. the Mar-
tin Emerich Outfitting Company, and grew out of the sale
of furniture by the defendants to parties who were running
an apartment house and who abandoned it, leaving some
of the furniture which had been purchased, and for which
a note had been given, secured by chattel mortgage. The
owner of the building attempted to seize the furniture for
the rent which had not been paid, and the court held the
chattel mortgage invalid because it had not been executed
by husband and wife.
The Lamond & Robertson Company, of Paterson,
N. J., have been sold ahead upon their line of jute car-
pets and rugs. Their jute goods are considered second to
none for their handsome colorings and perfect finish, and
are well known throughout the country. At the Central
Mills they now turn out two grades of Smyrna rugs — the
Armenia and Bangor. The latter rug has proved a great
success, and its price and quality should attract all buyers.

PROGRESS IN THE ORIENTAL RUG BUSINESS.
'NDER their new arrangement with C. A.
Auffmordt & Co., Chadurjian Broth-
ers, of 78 Grand, 33 and 35 Greene
streets and 369 Broadway, New York,
are beginning to show a practical
outcome of such a move by offering
large quantities of Oriental rugs, car-
pets and Bagdad portieres, which are
of exceptional interest to the buyers
for large firms.
Chadurjian Brothers have always been leaders in manu-
facturing in the Orient. They were largely instrumental
in popularizing one-faced Bagdad portieres and later
brought out double-faced and Mosque Bagdads. Chadurjian
Brothers are manufacturing, besides, very costly and
heavy Bagdad portieres, which are sold by them in Turkey
at as high as $80 to $90 apiece to the highest Turkish aristoc-
racy. These, of course, cannot be brought here on account
of the several hundred per cent, of duty. They are also
making elegant Yordez, Kirman and silk rugs. The
Messrs. Chadurjian have been very scrupulous in keeping
up the reputation of their goods, both in quality and dyes,
only vegetable fast dyes being used. When others at-
tempted to introduce aniline dyes Chadurjian Brothers,
by their vigorous publications in Constantinople leading
journals, aroused the public sentiment against them, and
also influenced the Government to prohibit the use of
aniline dyes in Cesaria, Asia Minor, where these Bagdads
and rugs are manufactured.
A NEW INTERNATIONAL BANK.
A BILL for the chartering of an international American
bank is now before Congress and it is being pushed
by the National Association of Manufacturers. This
association discussed the stibject at its last convention in
New York, and it has always stood out prominently as a
representative of this important idea. The new bank will
have a capital of $25,000,000, which, it is expected, will be
subscribed entirely by American investors.
Among the prominent men interested in the project is
William Barbour, of the Barbour Brothers Company.
The bank will be conducted on much the same plan as the
Credit Lyonnaise, of Paris; the Hong Kong and Shanghai
Bank, of London ; the London and River Plate Bank and
others operating between money centres and the frontiers
of trade. Its capital will make it one of the greatest banks
of its kind in the world. Its main offices will be in New
York and Washington, and branches will be established in
other large American cities. As there is now no bank in
South America which is not affiliated with some European
concern or institution, the American bank will probably
open branches of its own in the principal cities of South
America and Central America.

Daughters of the American Revolution.
Washington, D. C, March aO, 181)8.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review :
Last week closed the seventh congress of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. The spirit of '76 was not so much in evi-
dence, i. e., the fighting, as in former sessions. They seemed to have
a very harmonious time and everything went very smoothly. Mrs.
Daniel S. Manning, wife of the late Daniel S. Manning, who was
Secretary of the United States Treasury during Grover Cleveland's
first administration, snowed under all the candidates for the presi-
dency. Mrs. Mary S. Lock wood was unanimously re-elected editor
of the American Monthly Magazine, and Miss Lillie Lockwood busi-
ness manager. The whole week was very enjoyable and much good
work was accomplished. The Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution is rapidly gaining prominence and takes rank
among the great institutions of this country, and consequently is
doing and will do a great deal of good in perpetuating the memory
of the heroes of '76, and in regulating many of the knotty questions
of the day. They are a great body of women and are equal to most
anything that is good and true and noble. And could they enthuse
this spirit of '76 into a few of our statesmen, the great question
that is agitating the minds of the people to-day would bring the
speedy vindication of American rights and honor that every true
American claims for the destruction of the Maine and the lives of
her men. D. A. Chii.ds.
Short Pieces In Ingrains.
Laconia, N. H., March 85, ]8!)8.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review:
We have read with interest the communication in your last issue
from a Minneapolis firm concerning short Ingrain yardage. Our
experience is even worse than theirs. We had occasion to use a full
roll of a lot of ten pieces of new Ingrains received this spring, and
were surprised, after careful and accurate measurement, to find a short-
age of over six yards. Thereupon we measured the rest of the lot, and
found them all short from four to six yards. It is certainly a short-
sighted policy on the part of the manufacturers, as we can get full
measure of some mills, and we certainly will patronize them
in preference to the scant measure fellows hereafter. Retailers
should measure their Ingrains, and many will be unpleasantly sur-
prised, as we were. But it would work well in the end, as they
would naturally avoid the concerns that give short measure and deal
with the honest manufacturer. O'Shea Furniture Co.mi'any.

To the Creditors of Blatichard 5-» Co. and E. R. Blanchard :
Gentlemen — At the date of the last statement rendered by me,
June 23, 1893, the assets then remaining in my hands amounted, in
cash and receivables, to 847 . 1 1
And ninety-nine shares common stock of Lexington
Print Works. This stock was reduced, by the reorgani-
zation of the company, to twenty-seven shares, and last
summer I sold these for 100.00
Total net receipts $147.11
This did not pay the expense of handling the trust, and there is,
therefore, nothing for the creditors.
Contributions of new capital were about to be made by the pre-
ferred stockholders, in which I, of course, would not participate,
and from the financial condition of the company at that time I con-
sider that I was fortunate in getting anything for the common stock
held by me, and the amount paid was merely for the convenience of
making a transfer which would facilitate the reorganization. The
stock was intrinsically worthless. Respectfully,
Edward L. Parker, Assignee.

ably from defective electric wires. Building damaged
$2,000 and loss to Gilbert, Brooks & Tebbutt is $15,000.

CARPET CLEANING.
THE British carpet cleaners' method of doing their work
is as follows: Have two large pans of water, one
clear and tepid and the other hot and soapy, made so by
shaving "white curd" soap, say, 2 ounces of soap to 2
gallons of water. Have plenty of perfectly clean white
cotton rags, free from thread ends and " lint."
Take a square of the carpet at one time and wash the
surface quickly with a clean rag and the soapy water.
Take up as much of the soiled water as possible, then
wring out this cloth into a third pan of tepid water.
Take the other pan of tepid water and wipe
the -soaped and clean surface well, being careful as
possible to rub over, not rub in. Then wipe this with
clean cloths until as dry as reasonable in so short a time.
Proceed with the rest of the carpet imtil finished, guard-
ing against any shadowy boundary lines by going back of
each square as you continue. Change the water at every
third or fourth square ; more often if the carpet needs it.
THE NEW ORIENTAL RUG HOUSE.
URii\G the past few weeks the salesroom
of A. & M. Karagheusian has been visited
by many well-known city and out-of-
town buyers, who were much impressed
by the superiority of their stock and
the comparatively low prices quoted on
same. This fully justifies their claim
of having " Selected goods at moderate
prices."
They are now showing a superb line
of small Kiz Kilims, all in unusual designs and colors,
antique Shirvans, Anatolian rugs and mats, large Bok-
hara rugs and carpets, and a large variety of antique
Irans, including many
unique specimens of the rug
weaver's art.
Their stock of carpets, all
in small sizes and desirable
colors, is certainly interest-
ing to buyers who in their
search for 9x12 sizes are
often disappointed as bale
after bale is opened, almost
all in too large dimensions.
They carry such a varied
assortment that they can
meet the requirements of
the buyer hunting for bar-
gains and leaders, as well as
those of the fastidious con-
noisseur always in search of
the unique, ■' something not
seen before," &c. All they
ask is a visit to their sales-
room, and they feel confident that a few minutes spent
among the goods will prove of interest.

BISSELL'S "ANTI-RAVELING COLLECTOR."
THE latest patented improvement announced by the Bis-
sell Carpet vSweeper Company — the " Anti-Raveling
Collector " — is a small, circular, concave disk, fitted at the
ends of the sweeper, operating in a
groove in the brush pulley, to pre-
vent all hair, thread and ravelings
from winding on the ends of the
brush support or from filling the holes
in the ends of the brush, thus preserving
,™5 the free action of the sweeper and spar-
ing the user a great amount of labor and
annoyance. Many attempts have been
made in the past to produce something
that would properly protect the brush
journal, but not until the introduction
of this device was there ever a satisfac-
tory preventive to dust and ravelings
getting into the holes in the ends of the
brush and making the sweeper run hard.
This great nuisance to housekeepers in
the use of a sweeper has now been com-
^(yi'Wt'T- Kjn, pletely overcome by the invention which
-^ ' is shown in the cuts presented herewith.
. ^ " ,;'- The " Anti-Raveling Collector " is one
'^,.' , ■ , of the most valuable improvements ever
»^S 'i .~,.t^, ,,,..,.« made in a carpet sweeper, except
'''' 1. " Cyco " bearings, and the Bissell Car-
pet Sweeper Company purpose utilizing
this great improvement in connection with all their high
grade sweepers.

ST. LOUIS SIFTINGS.
The Wm. Barr Dry Goods Company have arranged for
extensive alterations in their building in the near future
at a cost of about $50,000. The changes pur-
St. Louis,
March 24.
posed include the remodeling of each of. the
three fronts so as to introduce mahogany
vestibules at the various entrances to the store.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Trorlicht are contemplating a trip
to Europe and will probably take their departure in a few
weeks.
As intimated in the last issue of The Review, the
Charles Niedringhaus House Furnishing Company has
taken possession of its temporary quarters, corner of
Seventh street and Franklin avenue, where it opened for
business on Monday last, in order to close out the stock of
carpets and furniture saved from the late fire in its old
premises.
Early on the morning of the 18th inst. fire in the
arge eight story warehouse of May, Stern & Co., at No.
1711 Olive street, caused a total destruction of the build-
ing and its contents, consisting of carpets, furniture and
household goods. The loss on the stock is estimated at
$50,000, which is almost covered by insurance. Business
at the firm's retail store, corner of Eleventh and Olive
streets, suffered no interruption. The concern has already
secured a new location for a warehouse, having rented the
commodious building at the southeast corner of Twelfth
and Walnut streets, which is rapidly being filled up with a
fresh stock of goods. B. W. B.
THEY KNOW HOW TO BUY.
ON the principle that a well selected stock is already half
sold the E. R. Artman-Treichler Company, of 713
Market street, Philadelphia, need fear no comparison with
any other carpet jobbing house in the country.
Their lines are chosen from such makes as Smith, San-
ford, Higgins, Roxbury, Stinson, Whittall and Schofield,
and the process of selection in pattern and color has been
carried so far and so carefully that it is almost impossible
to find an unattractive design or undesirable shading in
the entire assortment.
Everything known to a well appointed carpet stock can
be found on their floors, and it is safe to say that the
average dealer could make his entire purchases for a season
in this establishment and not go wrong in a single instance.
The marked success achieved by Gustave M. Fauser
during his first six months as an open designer proves the
high character of his work. It will be remembered that
Mr. Fauser secured the second award in the prize compe-
tition offered by S. Sanford & Sons in the fall of 1896, and
was attached to that firm's designing force for a number
of years. His work is now being fully taken by the Tap-
estry, Velvet, Axminster, Brussels, Wilton and rug manu-
facturers. His public studio is at 103 East Eleventh
street. New York.
The spring opening of Jonas Long's Sons, Wilkes-
barre, Pa., took place on the 24th ult., and the immense
department store of this enterprising firm was thronged
throughout that day with shoppers. An orchestra fur-
nished music and an exhibit of hothouse flowers and plants
was an additional and very attractive feature.
LARGE SALE OF DAMAGED CARPETING.
A OUT 11,000 rolls and partial rolls of carpeting, saved
from the fire at the store of J. & J Dobson, Phila-
delphia, were sold by auction, by order of the Under-
writers' Salvage Company, on March 34 and 35, at 364
and 366 Broadway, this city, Townsend & Montant acting
as auctioneers. There was a large attendance of the trade,
including many merchants from the East, West and South.
The offerings comprised Wiltons, Velvets, Axminsters,
Tapestries, Brussels and Ingrains, and the prices realized
were as a rule surprisingly high in view of the condition
of the goods.
Among those present or represented at the sale were
Stix, Baer & Fuller, St. Louis; Clarence Laubham, of
Jordan, Marsh & Co. ; C. F. Bacon, of R. H. White & Co ;
Geo. J. Bicknell, of the Atkinson Furnishing Company,
and Frank Ferdinand, of Boston; Henry Wunderlich, and

HIRST'S SMYRNA RUGS AND MATS.
THOMAS Hirst ranks among the most successful manu-
facturers of Smyrna rugs and mats in the country
and the business of his mills during the present season has
been in full keeping with this fact. At his New York
salesrooms, 337 Broadway, C. W. Bogert says that orders
are coming in well, the demand being especially good for
carpet sizes and mats. Mr. Hirst's line includes two
grades, the Regal, a standard quality in all sizes up to
9x12 feet, and the Hustler, a new and popular grade,
which has proved a very quick seller. Dealers will find
that these goods will well repay inspection.
The steamer Horatio Hall, built for the Maine Steam-
ship Company, whose vessels ply between New York and
Portland, was launched successfully at Roach's shipyard,
Chester, Pa,, on the 23d ult. in the presence of thousands
of spectators. She is 319 feet in length, has 48 feet beam,
and a depth of 19 feet 10 inches. Her tonnage is 3,300,
and she has a freight capacity of 2,000 tons. She has
triple expansion engines, carrying 180 pounds of steam,
and six boilers. Her horse power is 4,500, and her
guaranteed speed 17 knots. She is expected to reduce
the time between New York and Portland to eighteen
hours in good weather. C. M. Bailey, head of the floor oil
cloth manufacturing firm of C. M. Bailey's Sons & Co., is
the president of the Maine Steamship Company.

The Carbet and Upholstery Trade Review.
AN OPPORTUNITY TO RETAIL ORIENTAL RUGS.
AREFUL carpet dealers who note
the signs of the times and
the trend of business must
now feel that they should carry
Oriental rugs or increase their
assortment if they are already
handling them. Hardwood
floors are certainly creating an
increased demand for fine rugs
and the Orientals are coming
in for a good share of the trade.
The plan offered by Vantine
& Co. on page 76 is worth}' of
every dealer's consideration. This firm will consign to
any reputable dealer an assortment of Oriental rugs valued
from ^500 upward. The dealer can make his own selec-
tion or a careful selection will be made for him by Van-
tine & Co. . The dealer is not called upon to pay for the
goods inside of a stipulated time, which, at this season of
the year, gives him an opportunity to turn them over be-
fore the time of pa3'ment arrives. After the lapse of the
consignment period he can return any part of the goods up
to one-half the amount of the consignment. This plan
gives a dealer double the quantity of stock he desires to
carry, for he can select a consignment of an amount twice
as large as the quantity he would purchase if buying the
goods outright, as he is allowed to return one-half of them
under the agreement. Vantine & Co. have carried out
this plan during the past two seasons with excellent re-
sults to those trj'ing it. Their reputation in the business
community is a sufficient guarantee that the dealer will
obtain square treatment in the transaction, and, as has been
said, this is an excellent time of the year to give the plan
a trial. We would thank our readers who write to Van-
tine & Co. on this subject to refer to The Review.
The trade are evidently interested in the new patent
hardwood stair cover made by the D. Walker Manufactur-
ing Company. An illustration of hardwood stairs covered
with carpet pads and fastened by this new device is given
on page 97. Every carpet dealer should investigate its
merits.
On page 7 Fritz & La Rue announce that they are in
receipt of large invoices of their choice and exclusive
novelties in China and Japan mattings, and can make-
prompt shipments. The busy retail season will soon be
here, and it behooves retailers to have a good supply
on hand, and no better attractions can be found than those
offered by this popular Philadelphia house. They also
offer an exceedingly fine assortment of Turkish, Persian
and India carpets in large sizes.
Lord & Taylor have made a big advance in their cut
order business this season, and are demonstrating their
ability to fill hurry orders promptly. Their large re-
sources in stock and facilities for making up carpets
assure satisfaction to the retailer. A growing feature
with them is the wholesaling of carpetings in the roll, as
well as in cut orders, and buyers will find them in a posi-
tion to offer attractive inducements in full pieces.
THE WORCESTER WILTONS AND BRUSSELS.
THE Worcester Carpet Company, of Worcester, Mass.,
have received their usual liberal share of the busi-
ness done in Wiltons and Brussels, and with an active re-
tail trade they look for good duplicates before the season
closes. No concern in the trade has done more to main-
tain the popularity of Brussels during the past few years
than the Worcester Company. They have been extremely
liberal in their outlay for new designs, and have kept
their goods up to a high point of attractiveness in the
matters of style and quality. Brussels are just as good a
carpet as at any time in their history, and we think it is to
the interest of every retailer to maintain the favor of the
fabric which is unsurpassed in wearing qualities.
QUICK DELIVERY OF CARPET SEWING MACHINES.
To meet hurry calls for carpet sewing machines, J. C.
Taft, Providence, R. I., has made up a supply of his
hand and power machines and will be able to ship them
immediately upon receipt of orders. These machines can
be readily set up by purchasers and installed in working
order within a day or two. As stated in Mr. Taft's an-
nouncement on page 94, these machines are guaranteed to
sew any kind of carpeting and will sew Ingrains with the
over and over stitch Fullest particulars will be cheer-
fully furnished upon application to the manufacturer,
J. C. Taft, 40 Friendship street, Providence, R. I.
The Kingston rug fastener is built on sound principles
and performs its work with ease and certainty. A glance
at the illustration on another page will show that it re-
quires no holes in the floor to catch dust and become-
clogged with dirt. At a time when everybody is buying
rugs no carpet dealer can afford to be without a stock of
his clever device.
Some very attractive printed Japanese rugs are shown
by A. A. Vantine & Co. They are named Wariato and
come in sizes 1.6x3, 2x4, 3.6x5 and 3x6 feet and are sold
at 7j4 cents per square foot. The Mima-Satta jute rugs
are shown in entirely new patterns, reproducing Oriental
effects in very handsome, rich colorings. They are high
class quality and sell at 9^ cents per square foot, and are
in sizes from 1.6x3 to 12x15 feet.
The carpet sweeper manufactured by the King Carpet
Sweeper Company, Grand Rapids, Mich., is so constructed
that the mere act of sweeping causes the forward dust pan
to drop down to the surface of the carpet in such a posi-
tion that it must catch and retain all of the dust and dirt
which the action of the
brush takes from the
carpet, it being impos-
sible for any of it to
"shoot through" un-
der the pan. The great
importance of this
special feature of the
King sweeper can be
easily understood by dealers, and in connection with its
perfect construction, excellent finish, &c., may well justify
the prompt and wide appreciation which the sweeper has
already found in the market. Write to the manufacturers
for circulars and prices.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
AROUND AND ABOUT.
/^ORK. shavings, hitherto a waste product, are now utilized
in the manufacture of linoleum. A cargo of 700
bales was recently landed at Philadelphia from Palamos, a
comparatively unknown Spanish port. The shipment
came on the British steamship Avydene, which vessel, like
many others of the same type of ocean craft, brought it
along to pay running expenses, the important feature of
her run being to secure an outward cargo of grain. The
shavings are the clippings and remnants secured from the
Spanish factories after the best parts have been cut up for
other purposes.
"The Marquette (Mich.) Mining Journal says: " S. John-
son & Co. are putting oil cloth to a new use at their
general merchandise establishment. It is being used to
cover the ceilings of their storerooms. It is pasted on in
a manner similar to wall paper, with borders to match.
Over the joints will be tacked moldings, giving it much
the appearance, when finished, of an iron ceiling, nicely
decorated.
"The idea was suggested to Mr. Johnson by certain
manufacturers of oil cloths. They claim that they have
given the material a thorough test in decorating ceilings,
and that it makes a better looking, as well as more serv-
iceable, ceiling than anything else heretofore used. They
claim that when the ceiling is dirty it can be washed with
soap and water, while a dirty wood or iron ceiling will
have to be repainted. Then they also say that the oil
cloth is almost as lasting as either of the other two ma-
terials, and that it will look well for a longer time than
wood, as the latter will warp and crack. "
MousEKEEPERs should remember that the Buffalo beetle
makes its appearance as early in the year as in
February or March, and the eggs should be very care-
fully looked after at this time. An entomologist is
authority for the statement that these insects are found
during the winter in cracks of the floor and crevices
beneath the baseboards, and that old cloths saturated with
kerosene or benzine and stuffed in these places are the
best method to exterminate them. If allowed to propa-
gate in the spring and infest the house, corrosive sub-
limate is most useful in destroying them. A word of advice
is to mix this drug in a wide mouthed earthen jar in the pro-
portion of one teaspoonful of corrosive sublimate to 2
quarts of boiling water. In applying it to rugs or carpets
the best method is to hang them over a line, then dip a
whisk kept for the purpose into the liquid, shaking it off
against the inside of the jar. Carefully brush the rug on
both the right and wrong sides, using only enough of the
solution to slightly dampen the outside. The liquid will
not injure any textile fabric, but, as it is very poisonous,
should be used with great care.
IN the whist column of the Sunday Sun of March 20 Mr.
Foster, under the heading "A Remarkable Hand,"
tells this remarkable stor}^ :
The major is noted for his luck in holding trumps, but is always
complaining that he has never held more than nine in one hand.
The other day the deuce of clubs was turned up on his left, and the
major found he held twelve trumps and the ace of diamonds. His
partner led the ace of spades, on which the major smilingly dis-
carded the ace of diamonds, whereupon the dealer trumped it with
the turned up deuce. The major bought the drinks.
A correspondent writes to ask if it can be possible that
the player referred to could be our Major Bailey. The
whist editor of The Review has no hesitation in replying
"No."
Had our major held the hand he would have made a
skyrocket play by trumping his partner's ace with his ace
of clubs. When his partner had stopped using bad words
he would have led the three of clubs, and then exposed
his hand on the table, and invited his opponents to call for
any lead they desired. In that case the club, and not the
major, would have paid for the drinks.
LEEDOM'S STOCK IN NEW YORK.
A CARD from Thos. L. Leedom & Co. in our "Special
Notice" columns states that they have ready for im-
mediate delivery at their New York salesroom a stock of
their Art Squares, Smyrna rugs and Ingrain carpets.
This stock is for the convenience of dealers wishing to
sort up, and it will be advisable to write to Thos. L.
Leedom & Co., 115 Worth street. New York, when in a
hurry for the above named goods.
TEN PER CENT. DISCOUNT ON ORIENTAL RUGS.
0^f page 17 Yardum Brothers & Co., the Oriental rug
importers, announce that in view of clearing out
stock prior to new importations for fall they have decided
to allow a special discount of 10 per cent, in addition to
the usual trade discount on all purchases during the next
few weeks. The firm will demonstrate to callers or those
who write that this is a bona fide offer. Mr. Armen
Yardum is soon to leave for an extended trip through the
Orient, and the firm take this method of reducing stock
before his departure to purchase fall goods.
They have a good assortment of Oriental rugs and
carpets in various grades, including many fine Persians,
and close buyers will find this an opportunity worth inves-
tigation.
An illustration of the manner in which W. T. Smith &
Son please the palates of the trade is given in their an-
nouncement in this number. They believe in producing
something out of the ordinary, and hence their great suc-
cess and present big trade in Art Squares and large Smyrna
carpets. They have positive novelties in styles and color-
ings in these goods, besides a particularly large line of
grades and sizes, and are right in predicting that their
goods will sell freely .
The Iran Company, importers of Oriental rugs, carpets
and decorative fabrics, are constantly receiving invoices of
goods from the East, and are in a position to offer excep-
tionally strong inducements to all dealers who handle
Oriental rugs, &c. H. H. Costikyan, president of the com-
pany, and L. H. Costikyan, its secretary, are thoroughly
experienced in the trade, and possess special facilities and
connections in the Orient which enable them to interest
any buyer. See their advertisement on page 95 of this
issue.

^be Jfortniobt.
iLTHOUGH there has been a marked falHng off
in the business done by the jobbing houses
in upholstery goods, the season as a whole
has shown very good results. Manufac-
turers of lace curtains and heavy draperies
have had orders which have kept them well
employed.
Chenilles continue to show improvement
and the outlook is so favorable that some
makers will show an unusual line of new patterns for next
season.
Retail trade is opening well in the East, as it had al-
ready done in the West.
p^'ABRics of cotton, silk and tinsel. In the case of H. H.
Schwietering & Co. against the collector at New
York, the Board of General Appraisers decided as fol-
lows:
The goods here in question are fancy jacquard figured, loom woven
fabrics in the piece, apparently de.signed for trimming or uphol-
stery purposes, about 51 centimetres wide, in different colors, the
warp threads consisting wholly of cotton and the filling of silk tram
and double cotton threads covered with metal tinsel, lame or lahn,
these latter threads being so thrown upon the surface of the fabric
as to impart to it the appearance of being composed in chief value
of gold or gilt threads. These goods were assessed for duty at 45
per cent, ad valorem under the provisions of paragraph 303, act of
August 28, 1894, and are claimed to be dutiable at 35 per cent, ad
valorem either under paragraph 177 or paragraph 264 of said act.
Samples, representing seven qualities of these goods, were sub-
mitted to the appraiser at this port for analytical examination by an
expert in his department. It appears from that officer's report, and
we so find as facts, that the silk component varied in the respective
samples from 46.91 per cent, to 58.59 percent.; cotton from 31.01
per cent, to 43.08 per cent., and metal from 10.01 per cent, to 14.02
per cent., silk being in each instance the component material of
chief value.
The protests are accordingly overruled and the assessment of
duty affirmed in each case.
/^OTTON Borders for Curtains. — In the case of Hees,
Macfarlane, & Co. against the collector at Detroit
the Board of General Appraisers decided as follows:
The goods here in question, which were invoiced from Notting-
ham, England, as " window shade lace, cotton," consist of white
and different color manufactures of cotton, varying in width from
about 4 to 6 inches, comprising figures and openwork effects in
different designs, and having one straight and one escalloped or
otherwise uneven border. They appear to have been, and we find
that they were, "made on the Nottingham lace curtain machine or
on the Nottingham warp machine."
These goods were assessed for duty at 60 per cent, ad valorem
under the provision for laces or lace articles in paragraph 339, act
of July 34, 1897, anda'e claimed to be dutiable under the proviso to
paragraph 340 of said act.
Paragraph 340, under which the claim is made, provides for "lace
window curtains, pillow shams and bed sets, finished or unfinished,
made on the Nottingham lace curtain machine or on the Nottingham
warp machine." The goods in question are neither window curtains,
pillow shams nor bed sets, finished or unfinished. They are laces,
and may be used upon window curtains of any kind, whether made
upon the Nottingham lace curtain machine or on the Nottingham
warp machine, or otherwise. Indeed they jiiay be used for pur-
poses other than as parts of window curtains.
The protests are overruled and the assessment of duty affirmed.

LEWIS' CURTAINS AND COUCH COVERS.
THE particularly large and excellent assortment of couch
covers made by Robert Lewis is securing for him a
goodly share of trade in these goods. The Oriental
designs are notably attractive and are appropriate in every
way for Turkish cozy corners. Curtains in Oriental
designs are also shown in a great variety and are made to
match the couch covers. These covers are produced in
50 and 60 inch widths and are shown in twelve different
styles.
In table covers Mr. I,ewis' assortment comprises some
thirty different styles and a dozen different grades, the
sizes running from 4-4 to 12-4. The large array of cur-
tains makes this line one of the strongest in the market,
as forty different styles are shown, covering a great range
in diversity of patterns and colorings.
A recent addition to Mr. Lewis' production is tapestry
squares for cushion covers, which are shown in a number of
dift'erent effects. As stated in our last issue, Robert Lewis
has opened a spacioits and handsome office at 611 Hartford
Building, which is in charge of Wilber C. Hyde, his well-
known selling representative. Everything in the line is
here on show, and can be seen to better advantage than
has heretofore been possible. We advise buyers to make
some selections from Mr. Lewis' many attractions for the
spring trade
W. L. Kindred has opened an upholstery establishment
at 58 Park square, Boston, and A. J. & G. A. Pingree
have opened in the same business at 339 Columbus ave-
nue, in the same city.

CHICAGO'S BIG TRIMMING HOUSE.
To be thoroughly posted in all the latest novelties in
upholstery and drapery trimmings, buyers should
see the extensive lines of the E. L. Mansure Company, of
Chicago. This company manufacture all kinds of uphol-
stery and drapery trimmings, rope portieres and embroid-
ery goods for decorations, curtains, valances, lambrequins,
table covers, &c. , besides being manufacturers of fine fur-
niture gimps. It is the constant effort of the Mansure
Company to produce these goods in all the reliable quali-
ties and the choicest styles. They have introduced many
successful novelties, and each season adds to their reputa-
tion in this direction. Their special designs in embroidery
fabrics are particularly attractive this season, and are
alone worthy of a view of the company's lines. The busi-
ness is given the personal attention of E. L. Mansure,
who is well versed in what the trade requires, as well as
being a successful originator. If you have not seen their
spring assortment, write to the E. L. Mansure Company,
45, 47 and 49 Randolph street, Chicago.
RUFFLED CURTAINS.
AMONG the first manufacturers of ruffled curtains at the
outset of the present revival were Hassall Brothers,
of Boston. John M. Hassall, of that firm, foresaw a big
demand, and leaving his position in a Boston upholstery
department embarked in their manufacture. His brother
James Hassall soon joined him, and the firm of Hassall
Brothers quickly took a leading position in the manufacture
of ruffled curtains. From catering to the Boston and New
England trade at the start, they kept on expanding until
they now send curtains to all parts of the country. E. H.
Belcher, their Western traveling representative, is now on
his way East after a nine months' tour extending to the
Pacific Coast. Hassall Brothers make an immense variety
of styles and grades of ruffled edge curtains, with or with-
out lace insertions, in fish net, novelty net, bobbinet and
muslin. Their prices and styles are right as shown by the
character of their customers, the latter being among the
best houses in the country.
HOW TO HANG FRILLED CURTAINS.
THE extensive use of frilled lace curtains has catxsed the
introduction of a rod specially adapted to these
goods. This rod has been brought out by W. J. M. Gates,
564 Washington street, Boston, Mass., who is also the
New England and New York State representative for
Cohen Brothers & Co. , the extensive manufacturers of frilled
curtains. It has been found that the most graceful and
stylish draping is obtained by using a double rod — that is,
one rod in front of the other. A single curtain, or half
pair, is double hemmed and fulled on each rod, a cut of
which is shown on page 75. The variety of draping which
can be obtained is almost unlimited, and the rod is easily
putup or taken down. It has sold readily wherever shown,
and we would advise the trade to send in orders immedi-
ately to Mr. Gates, so as to have a supply of these rods for
spring trade. Read the announcement regarding this
double extension rod on page 75.
SEEN AND SUGGESTED.
\ N authority on the subject inveighs against the color
room in the furnishing scheme. A pink room or a
blue room, according to this critic, is not admirable, on
account of its monotonous treatment. It may be in spite
of it, but it is heavily handicapped at the outset. " Con-
sistency," says this authority, "is a prominent fault in
modern furnishing." This probably would apply to the
arrangement of furniture and belongings as well as to
their decorative appearance. The same lecturer advises,
when one undertakes to do over a house that has long
been furnished, that a preliminary process is to take out
about one-third of the bric-a-brac and ornamentation that
is in evidence. Space that does not suggest emptiness is
the most dignified and restful of treatment. A second
requirement urged by the speaker is the fitness of the
ornamentation to the purpose of the article. "The apple
that proves to be a silk pincushion, the chicken or pug
dog that proves to be a box of candy, the cabinet or chest
of drawers that proves to be a bedstead — these things we
should be rid of."
\ New York paper gives the following description of a
bed in the house which Lee Sung Quong, a rich
young merchant of Chinatown, has set up for his girl
bride. Its magnificence is quite Celestial. Quong's
Chinese upholstery has converted the ordinary dark bed-
room of a tenement-house into a gorgeous bower for the
bride. The bed itself almost fills the room, and is placed
against a wall hung with rich silk. It is downy looking
even under the luxurious spread with which it is covered.
This article would befit a millionaire's quarters It is a
magnificent piece of dark red silk, woven and brocaded as
only the Chinese do such things. The bed has a canopy as
long as the bed itself and slightly sloping from the wall to
its front edge, from which hangs a band of thick red silk,
embroidered heavily with gold, and bordered with black
velvet. From behind this band are draped curtains of pure
white China silk extending to the floor. The interior of
the canopy is brilliantly lighted by lamps that are con-
cealed by the curtains. A couple of pillows, one large and
one small, complete the furnishings, and on the silk hang-
ings behind the bed are several small banners covered with
weird Chinese pothooks.
A PROMPT SHIPMENT.
AN order was mailed from a city 200 miles from Nfew
York on March 14 to the Hollins Mill Company at
Glasgow, Scotland, for their extra quality Scotch hollands.
The goods were packed and shipped and placed on a
steamer leaving the other side on March 33, just nine
days after the order left the sender's hands. This is re-
markably prompt work, and the Hollins Mill Company
say they can repeat it.

THE HOUR THE TARIFF TOOK EFFECT.
^=^ UDGE TowNsEND, of the United States
Circuit Court has affirmed the de-
cision of the Board of General Ap-
praisers that the Dingley tariff act
did not become a law until the hour
it was signed by President McKin-
ley. This decision was given on an
appeal taken by the Government
from the board's ruling in the case
of W. Iselin & Co., dry goods im-
porters, and others last October.
The Dingley bill, passed on July 24 last, was signed by
the President at six minutes after 4 o'clock on the afternoon
of the same day. The Treasury Department held that it
became operative on the day it was signed, and, as the
Government does not recognize fractions of days it ruled
that duties should be paid under its provisions on all
goods imported after midnight on the night of July 23.
This ooinion the Board of General Appraisers did not
agree with, and its view of the matter has been sustained
by Judge Townsend.
The decision means a loss to the Government of several
thousand dollars in customs duties. A vast quantity of
imports were received before 4 o'clock on July 24, as there
had been a great rush on the part of importers to get goods
in before the law went into effect.
It is said that the Government will appeal from Judge
Townsend's decision. Henry C. Piatt, representing the
Government, declined to appeal under Section 22 of the
bill, containing the discriminating duties clause.

ience. The firm now employs twenty-five hands, but

will be doubled."
WALTER C. WILLIAMS.
VERY few men who visit the Eastern upholstery markets
are better known or more generally popular than
Walter Coulson Williams, of the Howe & Rogers Com-
pany, Rochester, N. Y.
His striking individuality
makes him a marked
man, and his hearty
camaraderie wins him
friends wherever he goes.
Add that his ability as
a buyer and manager is
conceded on all sides,
and one need look no.^
further for his creden-
tials. Mr. Williams was
born in the beautiful
town of Penzance, Eng-
land, and is probably a
lineal descendant of the
famous Pirates of Pen-
zance, whose history has
been told by Gilbert and Sullivan. His family came to this
country when he was a boy, and settled in Rochester.
He has resided there for ten years, with the exception
of a year, which he passed in Pittsfield, Mass. , with Eng-
land Brothers. He was for several years with Carroll,
Beadle & Mudge, and for the past six years has been man-
ager of the Howe & Rogers Company's upholstery depart-
ment, where he has won a deserved success.

Visitors to the Corcoran Art Gallery in Washington
are struck with the restful color-tone of the place, often
perhaps without realizing it, and certainly many times
without determining its cause. The walls are covered
from the wainscoting to the picture rods with burlaps
specially dyed to its pleasing tint of terra cotta.
Thousands of yards were supplied to use through all the
rooms, this gallery being among the first to emphasize
the use of burlaps for this purpose.

THE DRAPING OF MANTEL BOARDS.
IN our issue of December 15 we gave a number of examples
of the easier forms of mantel board draping, which, if
carried out in suitable materials, and with the care that
even simple work demands, would considerably contribute
to the decoration of any apartment. A few of the mate-
rials best adapted for draping are wool serges, diagonals,
velveteens — printed and otherwise — the softer kinds of
tapestry, plushes, various kinds of velvet, silks, particu-
larly " Liberty," &c., while for bedrooms and dressing
rooms and for small drawing rooms, decorated in the light
tints which are so prevalent to-day, very pretty effects
may be had in certain soft makes and shades of cretonne
and linen, and in a combination of both.
In Fig. 6 appears what is known as a one-sided arrange-
ment, a style popular in many quarters, although it is,
perhaps, open to question whether it is suitable in a fire-
place alike on both sides, to introduce a drapery of such
unsymmetrical design. It consists of three parts — two
curtains and a festoon — all of which are tacked to the
front of board, and finished off with a thick cord. Each
curtain must have a full width of 1>4 yard wide material,
otherwise the plaiting and draping will be very plain. The
curtain or tail to the left is carried round the end to the
wall, and shaped at the bottom like Fig. 6a. Mark on the
front of board the position of each curtain, then apply the
chain to obtain the measurement for the festoon ; thus, at
Fig. 6b, a B corresponds with
the top fold, C D with the
bottom, the distance between
being about double the
finished depth of the festoon.
The bottom line should be
curved toward C and D to
a height of about 6 inches or 7
inches. The right hand
curtain is caught up with a
knotted cord, hanging
down about half a yard from
the corner, a hook being
placed at a suitable point in
the curtain and an eye behind the knot of the cord. The
left hand curtain, when fringed, is plaited on to the board
(plaits turned up from the front), with a little more full-
ness in front than at the back. The festoon, as repre-
sented, should be behind one curtain and in front of the
other.
In carrying out a design like Fig. 7 the valance of can-
vas or other material should be cut to size, temporarily
tacked to the board, and th'e drapery chain fixed to outline
the drapery. Then the position of the embroidery may be
marked, it being obvious that there is no absolute neces-
sity for embroidering under the festoons. In Fig. 7 the
central festoon may be dispensed with in cases where it
might be found too deep ; and where it is employed the
two adjoining festoons might be taken under the valance
toward the corner of the board, the tails falling over in
front, as represented. In this case more of the valance is
e.-vposed, consequeutly further embroidery would become
necessary.
Fig. 8 is constructed very much as the foregoing, with
this difference — that the drapery is all fixed at the back.
The half festoons at the end are in reality whole ones,
being carried up to the corner at either end of the board,
the shaping of the pelmet or valance giving them the ap-
pearance shown.
In the case of curtains they should be suspended from a
straight rod the whole length
of the board in front, the
ends being held up by two or
three small cup hooks.
In Fig. 9 we have an original
design which might be
made extremely interesting by
the introduction of some
medallion portraits or little
engravings in Bartolozzi tint.
The portraits should be
fixed from behind, a glass
being used to preserve them
from the smoke and dust.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
The design on the valance might be embroidered or
painted or applique work.
In Fig. 10 the drapery should be measured in the usual
way, cut in separate pieces, joined at the points of con-

tact, drawn up with a thread. The cord or ribbon hold-
ing it at the corners will cover the drawings. Care must
be taken to have the sides of each festoon of equal size ;
otherwise they will not join neatly.
Fig. 11 speaks for itself; the motto might be embroid-
ered or painted. In either case it should be done with
great care. This design might be made realistic by hav-
ing a fringe bearing some resemblance to the icicle.
HARTSHORN SHADE ROLLERS.
WE have been suggesting to the smaller dealers, every
now and then, the advisability of using some tin
rollers in their business, and thus being able to fill special
orders for large shades without sending away for them
and being compelled to wait long for the shades. Doubt-
less some of you have thought of this matter and acted
upon it; also the suggestion that you commence by laying
in stock a few of the standard sizes of Hartshorn new
groove tin rollers, for we have noticed an increasing num-
ber of orders for these splendid rollers, and many of them
going to new places.
This is as it should be, for if we have ever offered any-
thing to the trade, which they really needed, it is the new
groove tin roller, with its clever and correct method of
mounting shades quickly upon them. The roller has
been a success from the time when we sold the first gross,
and the demand which it has, we might say, created for
tin rollers among certain dealers has assumed even larger
proportions than we expected, and our expectations are
not overly modest. If you are handling many shades, to
be made up on tin rollers, and are not using the new
groove tin rollers, perhaps your men might accomplish a
great deal more work by changing to this roller. Many
dealers tell us that this has been the case in their work-
rooms, and we fail to see any reason why it should not be
universally so. — Hartshorn's Roller.
NOVELTIES IN DRAPERIES.
BUYERS of upholstery goods, draperies, &c., will find
in the upholstery department of A. A. Vantine &
Co. a number of particularly attractive novelties and spe-
cialties which seem certain to be in great demand. Among
them may be mentioned the Punjab Jaba cotton draperies,
which are made in fast colors and in a variety of hand-
some patterns, comprising Indian, Kutch, Japanese, Per-
sian and other attractive effects. A line of Anatolian
cloth goods made in Bagdad stripes with a brouette line,
is likely to be promptly appreciated, and the same remark
applies to the new styles in blue and white Japanese
crepes and the choice line of Shikii draperies, which are
shown in an exclusive patented Indian design and in a
variety of colorings.
Buyers should lose no time before seeing these goods
and the many other attractive things in Vantine & Co.'s
wholesale department, 18, 20 and 22 East Eighteenth
street. New York.
True art is to conceal art, but the woman who paints
a velvet lambrequin hangs it on her parlor mantel — Ex.
Upholsterers' webbing, spring and seaming twines,
seaming cord, &c., are manufactured on an extensive scale
by the Ludlow Manufacturing Company, 133 Essex street,
Boston. Write to them for particulars.
Hull, Stickney & Twitchell is the correct firm name of
the successors to Lawrence, Wilde & Co., decorators, 38
to 48 Cornhill, Boston. The new firm is composed of
William H. Hull, Horace W. Stickney and Union B.
Twitchell.
The wonderful demand for the goods made by the
Philadelphia Tapsstry Mills is due to that peculiar some-
thing which is characteristic of everything they produce.
Their goods are objects of admiration for their own indi-
vidual beauty, as well as by contrast with others, and the
cost through large production, scientific and economical
manufacturing is moderate, so low in fact that it is a
source of wonder to many how such good fabrics can be
produced for so little money.

FINE LACE CURTAINS.
THE value of a good reputation has been well demon-
strated this season in the experience of Rieser &
Co., lace curtain manufactures and importers. For many
years they have made a specialty of handling the finest
grades of lace curtains, and their reputation for bringing
out choice things had spread throughout the country. The
consumption of fine goods during 1896 and 1897 had de-
creased very materially, and cattsed the importers to be
chary about stocking tip abundantly. Rieser & Co. , how-
ever, have carried a large stock of the choicest goods
throughout the dull period, and now that improved con-
ditions have brought about an increased demand for the
better goods the trade are naturally seeking Rieser & Co.
for supplies. They have found their assortment and stock
exceptionally attractive, especially in view of the depleted
fine stocks of most other houses, and consequently it
begins to look like old times at the new salesroom of Rieser
& Co., 473 Broadway. Write to them if you are in a hurry
for Louis XIV., Marie Antoinette, Renaissance, Arabian,
real Brussels, or other makes of fine laces.
Fraehl & Nieter have embarked in the furniture and
upholstery business at New Bremen, Ohio
A. Pauly, furnittire dealer and upholsterer, Boston, has

Not the least important material in making up window
shades or in upholstery and drapery work is thread. The
Meyer shade and drapery thread is made especially for
such work, being unusually strong, yet soft and pliable. It
is also smooth and glossy and made in all sizes required
for hand or machine sewing. Write to John C. Meyer &
Co., 87 Summer street, Boston, Mass., for samples and

MOHAIRS AGAIN TO THE FRONT.
^ E are pleased to state that the mohair plush
mills of L. C. Chase & Co. are very busy,
running to fullest capacity. The signs noted
last fall of the returning favor of mohair
plushes have developed into facts, as seen
in the present demand. Another satis-
factory feature is that the call is for the
best grades, for the goods turned out by
Chase & Co. are the acknowledged stand-
ard of the trade for high quality. The firm
find their increased business coming from
both the railroad car builders and the upholstery jobbers.
Travelers on the Chicago limited train, leaving the
Grand Central Depot at 4 p. m. daily, have been unanimous
in praise of the handsome new upholstering of the seats,
which are done in Chase's frieze plush, with a detached
pattern for the seat and back. The 4 o'clock train to and
from Boston via the Boston and Albany Railroad has also
been recently upholstered in a neat detached figure of
frieze plush, and the Pullman and Wagner Palace Car
companies have private patterns confined to them by
Chase & Co.

out the country and is now busy getting out his orders.
W. M. Cathrall Company, Incorporated, Philadelphia,
have sold their entire stock and good will to Hoffman,
Corkran & Co., manufacturers, who will continue in this
line on a much larger scale, Mr. Cathrall having entire
charge of this department, both in the New York and
Philadelphia houses. This firm has purchased in the last
three years the business of Coyle & Coyle, A. C. Knight
Co. and W. F. Osier & Co., which, with this addition,
makes them one of the foremost in their line in this
country.

Thomas Ha/ton.
Thomas Halton, for many years a manufacturer of the
Jacquard attachment for power looms at his factory on
Mutter street, below Lehigh avenue, Philadelphia, died
suddenly of Bright's disease and neuralgia of the heart on
March 12 at the
home of his son in
that city. Mr.
Halton was born in
Manchester, Eng-
land, July 4, 1838,
and came to this
country in 1872.
About 1876 he be-
gan the manu-
facture of the
Jacquard machine in
Philadelphia, sub-
sequently per-
fecting the " head
motion," which
addition makes the
machine now com-
plete in every part.
Later he engaged
in the manufacture
of table damask,
in which he was successful, the plant now containing
twenty looms, which are fully employed. The machinery
constructed by Mr. Halton was used largely in the manu-
facture of fine upholstery fabrics, and he was very popular
among the manufacturers in that branch of textile
industry. Of a kindly disposition and possessed of a gen-
erosity that was notable for its largeness, he very often
befriended the new beginners in the textile industry, and
many a young firm was indebted to him for its first start in
life.
Mr. Halton leaves a widow, one daughter and two
sons. The business will be continued as formerly by the
two sons of the decedent.

fe'Ski^si: ->
THE DRAPING OF CURTAINS.
Is there any necessity for the monotony that characterizes
the style of draping of ordinary window curtains ?
That there is monotony who that observes the windows he
passes in any town, with their uniformity, can doubt ? It
is just for all the world as if the local authority had set up
a standard to which every householder was expected to
conform, according to a writer in an English magazine.
Now let us take a pair of soft Madras curtains, edged
with a fringe, lace, or a frill, and endeavor to throw a
little variety into the arrangement of them. Do not as-
sume at the outset, because the illustrations show a small
pole from which the curtains are suspended, that this is
indispensable. Two thin brass or wooden rods will serve,
one for each curtain, to permit of crossing.
Figure 1 requires no explanation. It is occasionally to
be met with on a ground floor window, and serves its
purpose well.
Fig. a (and this remark applies to all the subsequent
designs, with the exception of Figs. 3 and 4) will be im-
proved by being let down a foot on the floor before it is
draped. From a point on the outside edge, about 3
feet from the ground, gradually gather up the curtain
until the bottom corner is reached; fix the folds with a
safety pin, attach this to a cup hook placed in the archi-
trave, and finish off with a bow of ribbon.
Fig. 3. Slightly cross here, and drape at diverse heights.
Be careful to have the highest draped curtain on the in-
side, otherwise the balance of outline will be disturbed.
Fig. 4. This is constructed similarly to the door curtain
illustrated and fully described in an earlier number of The
Review. In this case, however, small dress hooks might
be substituted for brass rings, and the thinnest twine or
white carpet thread might be used in place of cord. This
and the following design are very suitable for smoky
cities, where frequent shaking and brushing of window
draperies is a necessity. Each of these schemes may be
undraped and refixed in a very short space of time.
Fig. 5. Here we are away from the beaten track, all
the appliances required being two ordinary pips and a
piece of stout thread. Fasten this thread to the right
hand end of pole, allowing it to depend about 1}4 yards;
at the lower end fix a pin, bending it to form a hook, and
attach a similar hook close up at the other end of pole.
Now take the right curtain, and find a point about half a
yard inward from the edge (not o/i the edge, as in Fig. 2),
and the same distance lower than the bent pin ; raise this
point, and fix it over the hook. Repeat this with the
other curtain, and the work is done. The same result
may be obtained by having a small sharpened hook fixed
to the architrave; this, however, might be dangerous
where there are children. Were we giving this design
apart from the series, we might advise the lengthening of
the left curtain by half a yard to bring it near the floor.
Fig. 6 represents a pleasing effect obtained by a simple
method. The outline is not by any means original, but
whereas in most cases a heavy iron band is employed,
here the thinnest slip of wood, or wire, or cardboard, or
even a full sized lead pencil, will suffice.
To obtain the curve, arrange the picture chain from the
pole round to the outside edge of the festoon. Set this
size along the front of curtain, from the top downward.
Now observe the space occupied by the pleating passing
over the small rod. If a pencil is used this will be about
7 inches, and it will be necessary to double it for the
fullness. Mark a point on the curtain 14 inches inward
from the edge, and the same distance from the top, where
it is proposed to fix the small horizontal rod. Draw a line
from this place to the point on front edge, rounding it up-
ward (on approaching the front) about 2 or 3 inches.
Over this line sew a narrow caser of the same material as
curtains, and let it terminate at the higher point. When
fixing, pass the small rod through this caser, gathering the
curtain regularly, and fastening it with a pin in position.
If a flat lath about half an inch broad is used, it may be
fixed to the architrave, and will more readily keep in place.
Fig. 7. This, in a pretty, soft Madras, makes a charm-
ing window draping. One side has just been fully de-
scribed, and the other in part. The length of the upper
portion of the left curtain is easily obtained by measuring
the distance from the pole downward to where the cord
passes round the front of curtain. Find the distance from
this point to the pole perpendicularly, and make the front
line of curtain longer than the back, by the difference be-
tween these two sizes. The top consequently will be
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
oblique. From the point mentioned to the opposite upper
comer draw a line and sew a narrow caser on half this dis-
tance, beginning at the front. Pass a thin wire or cane,
slightly curved, through this caser, supporting it in posi-
tion with a thin twine from each end to the top architrave.
Proceed as already described with the lower portion, mak-
ing the two sides drape at diverse heights. A cord around
the upper draping is a decided improvement.
Fig. 8. This is a design suitable for a corner window,
or for two windows in juxtaposition, in which case the
drapery would be made right and left. This is the
simplest possible arrangement. Let the curtains be fixed
merely to meet at the top as in Fig. 1, drape the right one
as before described, the left one as follows: With the pic-
ture chain, find the length of the bottom curve connect-
ing each end of pole, then the upper curve; these place,
one along the back, the other along the front of curtain,
drawing a line between the points. Next draw a stout
thread through this, fastening it at the bottom. Now
gather the curtain up as illustrated, and tie the thread
around the end of the pole, and you have the result
shown.
The above description will serve for Fig. 9.
It will be found in Fig. 6, and in other designs where
the same style of draping is employed, that the inside edge
of the curtain is inclined to turn away from the front. This
can easily be corrected by pinning it underneath the fes-
toon to the small horizontal rod.
SUMMER FURNISHINGS.
ART is taking nature more into reckoning than ever be-
fore in the methods employed in coloring and fur-
nishing homes. Science, too, steps in and orders certain
colors for the walls of living rooms that will prove either
soothing or invigorating to the nen,'es of sight. The
library, for instance, must have a soothing wall color
scheme in deep grays or greens if one values his eyesight
and wants to feel rested and not irritated.
In renovating a bedroom for the spring curly maple or
birch forms a charming set for one who likes a wooden
bed to match the rest of the room. An unpapered wall
may be toned a soft gray and finished about 4 feet above
the floor in a border of green outlined and possibly sten-
ciled in gold. Panels of wood to correspond with the
furniture may be set below this wide green border, and the
room must have a daintily upholstered comer or window
seat. Pretty and cheap drapery for this purpose may be
had in the new flowered patterns of cotton velours, cre-
tonne, denim and pungum, as well as in cheap silks.
These range from 10 to 50 cents a yard, according to the
quality. Velours give a velvet and pungum a silk effect,
and the English flowered patterns are the prettiest.
Chairs with cane seats and one or two wicker rockers
with pink and green cushions are admirable. The Eng-
lish dressing table admits of charming decorations, and a
fewiioral china ornaments would give a spring-like touch.
Over the bare floor have rugs sprinkled with soft gray and
pink effects and the window draperies either of pink or
with pink figures. A cool shade of pink should be the
keynote of color in the room, and it is only prettily ac-
centuated by the touch of green here and there and the
soft gray walls on which two or three light water color
pictures would look well.
If one wants to be in touch with the fad for forest green,
the sitting room and morning room may be cheaply and
charmingly furnished in it, to say nothing of the hall. It
is restful to the eyes, artistic and spring-like in effect.
Forest green furniture comes in English patterns, both
of the old and new Adam and Chippendale styles, and the
American pieces are quite as lovely. Chairs of all sorts
of odd shapes may be picked up that lend artistic forms
as well as rich color to house decoration. The furniture
is principally made of hard wood, but the same beautiful
shade of green is made up into wicker and cane furniture,
and comes either in solid color or is combined with red,
pink or gold plaids. The red and green plaid chairs,
lounges, tables and small pieces are extremely pretty and
effective in fitting up a summer}' looking room, and are
quite the newest things out. With these, as well as the
other makes, draperies of most beautiful shades of green
and gray are to be found in all manner of materials. Jute
hangings are very pretty if one wants to be economical.
Prettiest of all, with a room furnished in forest tints,
are portieres of the rich Roman or East Indian stripes
running crosswise. A Moorish comer makes another
bright contrast, and the rugs must both contrast and har-
monize with the rest of the room.
In fitting up a forest green room or hall the minor
adornments must be chosen with discretion, and growing
plants are almost a necessity. A pleasantly contrasting
note of color must be introduced to avoid sameness, such

as pink, red or some of the new heliotrope tints now in
vogue.
Rugs appear in darker tones now than have been theirs
for many years and the most acceptable colors for screens,
wall drapery and wall coloring are found to be grays or
mauves in the many tints to be had in them. These un-
obtrusive shades go with any sort of furniture, and a touch
of the color scheme of any room may be added to them
effectively.
In sympathy with this new taste come exquisite casts on
plaques tinted blue, mauve or green gray, so softly tinted
that the colors are hardly perceptible in the soft gray sur-
face. The plaques, with their exquisite group of figures
standing out in bold relief and dazzling whiteness against
the gray background, are known as "cameo ware." The
ware and its style of treatment are new and it may be had
with very little expense
Among the newest accessories to house adornments are
yellow, burnished clay jars, umbrella holders, vases, orna-
ments, plaques and trays. Jonquils furnish both color and
shape to the new yellow ware. A big, open jonquil holds
a flowerpot with a palm or fern in it, or a bunch of um-
brellas may stick inartistically out from among golden
petals.
If a woman's means are so small that every penny
counts for something and hardwood floors are luxuries
beyond her, the up-to-date upholsterer can fit xip a lovely
yellow room at very little cost that for aesthetic beauty
will compare very well with the silk hung and more gilded
apartment of her more fortunate sister. Have the floor
painted around the edges or stained a rich dark mahogany
color for a distance of 3 feet from the wall. Cover all the
rest of the floor with a deep golden brown denim of a
shade of brown that will not readily show dust. The
gimp used around the edges may be orange color. The
denim will cost from 12 to 25 cents a yard, according to
quality, and it is very wide and strong. The giinp will
cost but a few pence.
Above the dashboard tack all around the wall one width
of the wide burlap, which comes in all sorts of art colors,
either plain or stamped with figures, at 10 cents a yai'd.
The fashion now is to use flower-de-luce designs, and the
goods for such a room must be of gold on burlap of a tan
shade that will harmonize and contrast with the floor.
The wall may be papered with a light ecru and gold
design, and the upper border would look well finished oif
in yellow tulips or poppies, both stylish now for such pur-
poses. A narrow gilt molding must finish the top edge
of the burlap, and the ceiling would look best in a light
cobwebby design of gold on cream paper. A picture
mold of gilt must be fastened about 3 feet or more below
the ceiling, and it will break the monotony of the wall.
There are chairs of white and yellow wicker to be had,
and if these cannot be afforded old ones can be enameled
in white and yellow. Cushions and scarfs of linen em-
broidered with yellow silk can be put to use in this room.
Tulip or poppy covered pungum or lawn, at 10 or 15 cents
a yard, may be hung at the windows in connection with
white Swiss or lace curtains, and a touch of yellow can be
added to tlie room in articles of use and of ornaments.

As in and out of warp and woof
The tireless needle goes —
The needle strung with floss of blue,
With green where scarlet shows;
It stabs the weft but tenderly,
So that the wounds soon close.
Soft healed by threads of russet brown
Where yellow envious grows.
As in and out of warp and woof
The searching needle goes.
Uprising threads of lavender
Wherefrom deep purple flows;
It paints dun colored fantaisies.
Or glad things may disclose —
Two lovers locked in soft embrace,
Perchance they've kissed ! Who knows ?

Seventeenth street, and should be seen b}^ every buyer.
Manager Smith, of W. & J. Sloane's wholesale uphol-
stery department, will have his new lines on view within a
week or ten days, and they will be the most important he
has ever shown, special care having been taken to make
these offerings surpass all the previous ones of the depart-
ment.
The firm of Schmitt Brothers, furniture dealers and
upholsterers, 355 Fourth avenue, has been incorporated.
The capital stock is $110,000 and the directors are Louis
Schmitt, Pringle Mitchell, George Schmitt, Von Beck
Canfield, Philip Schmitt and John C. Piatt, all of New
York city.
New invoices of Damascus brass goods, furniture,
lamps, tables, chairs and curtains have been received dur-
ing the past fortnight by Yardum Brothers & Co, , 594 and
596 Broadway. These goods have sold so freely that the
firm have hardly been able to keep their stock in good
assortment, hence it will pay to view the new goods early.
A splendid opportunity for inspection is offered at the
spacious and finely lighted salesrooms of this enterprising
firm.
J. Prieser & Co., manufacturers of upholstered furni-
ture, have removed from Orchard street to 94 Bowery.
The Wilkes-Barre Lace Company are now showing their
complete fall line of new styles at the salesroom of the
selling agents, Clarence Whitman & Co., 39 and 41
Leonard street. Many positive novelties and original
styles are shown in the line.
J. A. Filer & Co., manufacturers of all grades of up-
holstery and drapery trimmings, fancy fringes, tassels,
cords, &c. , will remove their factory and salesroom from
University place and Thirteenth street to 22 to 26 East
Fourteenth street, about May 1.
S. J. Tellery & Co., the East India goods manufactur-
ers, have removed from the Hartford Building to 18 East
Seventeenth street, where they occupy an entire loft.
They will carry a stock hereafter in their new quarters,
which are being appropriately fitted up under the direction
of Manager A. J. Blumberg.
Cohen Brothers & Co., 424 and 426 Broadway, have a
wonderful display of bobbinet ruffled and frilled curtains.
The line is almost endless, and yet every day something
new is added. Mr. M. Cohen says that these goods are so
beautiful and inexpensive that they will be the window
drapery of the future. Their Nottingham house is now
very busy making all kinds of nets and laces for the manu-
facture of these curtains on this side, and every steamer
brings something new. Their facilities to produce the
necessary materials for these bobbinet curtains are ex-
cellent, as they are directly connected with all the makers
in Nottingham and are represented there by Mr. Chas.
Hemsley. who has over twenty years' experience in the
lace trade ; in addition, they are making up the curtains
themselves on the Broadway premises, which enables
them to execute special orders without delay. Their win-
dow display is one unusual in the wholesale trade, being
attractive and instructive to all buyers of this new drapery.
NEW WALL PAPER PATTERNS.
fEw spring wall papers, according to the
New York Sun, contain no hint of the
gilt tracery so long in vogue. Even the
expensive drawing room papers show
no gold in the design, and those in-
tended for hall, library and dining room
are in softly blended, quiet tones, in
imitation of tapestry, cashmere and
dragon -figured canvas. Papers for bed-
rooms are colored like fine chintz in
homely direct blues, reds and greens,
but the groundwork of one and all of
these designs is lustreless and dull in finish. For the nur-
serj' come wall papers that are studies in bird and animal
life, and fairy tale papers — a delight to child eyes, with
the legends plainly indicated, and not too much detail to
tire the understanding. For the living room there are
substantial sanitary papers, comely to look at, and for all
their dainty wood coloring and dull finish capable of being
washed oiT in good earnest when soiled and of looking
never the worse for it. For the bathroom the highly
glazed tile papers (as much like Colonial and Dutch tiles
as two peas) are shown, and to vary the choice tile papers
in imitation of the French idea of their Flemish neighbors'
wares are reproduced in amber and dull blue and delicate
old rose. The figures and houses on this tile papering
stand out as if embossed, the flowers look ready to be
picked from the groundwork, and the highly glazed sur-
face can be washed and washed again and show no sign of
its reincarnation.
As for the den and studio papers, kept off to themselves,
as if they were a little too unconventional and laxlaced to
flock with the rest, the new patterns are especially unique
and interesting. Peacocks of gorgeous dyes strut over
the groundwork, but so embowered in foliage and barred
with gratings that the downright blue greens and hints of
rose color and gold, and velvet eye spots, seem subdued
and only half revealed Heraldic devices are employed on
some of these den wall papers, but not such symbols and
coats-of-arms as are grouped formally on the leather
colored hall papers and library papers. The fantastic in
heraldry is dashed in with a liberal hand in these go-as-
you-please designs that yet have method in them, but the
formality is kept in the background and the coloring in
every case is admirably blended and interwoven. Certain
of these den studio papers are unequivocally Japanese, for
all of their scope of symbol and coloring. Other patterns
are as plainly Russian in character; others again Flemish,
showing goats, peaked hats, flagons, half discernible leg-
ends, and the like. One novel pattern shows an adapta-
tion of the bagpipes, kirtles and claymores of the Scotch,
and an Italian blazonry wrought out in terra cotta, indigo
blue and decided green has serpents and arched faces and
monastic figures intermixed fantastically.
" But some won't have these studio papers, interesting as
they are," says the salesman, and he straightaway pro-
duces an alternative. He unrolls a papering as much like
green denim as anything that is not that especial thing can
be, and hangs it over the slanting screen that does for a
model exhibition board ; then he gets a piece of molding
shelf to define where the dado is to end, and gets a min-
gled green and ivory papering for the upper part of the
wall and ceiling. "There," he says, "you have a paper-
ing that will be a charming and unobtrusive background
for anything you want to hang upon it. A few tankards
and quaint old mugs and cups on the molding shelf, a pic-
ture or two, or a plaque or crossed sabres on the wall, and
there you have your room complete. Green is the great
natural background for everything, restful to the eye,
showing every object to the best advantage that is placed
against it. On the other hand, artists and would-be
artists and people who want a comfortable lounging room
and have no trophies of travel or rich bric-a-brac to set it
off with find great help in the florid, bold papers that give
the necessary air of furnishing and color to the walls."
Papers representing tapestry are especially prominent.
Some are as velvety and rich in appearance as old rugs,
having all the subdued softness of tone and tint observable
in those long woven Oriental productions. The ground-
work of many of these papers is checkered over, or lined,
or indexed to imitate the canvas on which the figures and
garlands are worked. All the varying wood tints, the
russet reds and forest greens of autumn leaves, blend in the
pattern, Chinese patterns have more than a glow of yellow
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
or gleam of purple showing out here and there, and even
the rare old Gobelin tapestry has been imitated success-
fully. These papers are distinctive. Certain designs, in-
tended for a grill room or dining hall, hint unmistakably
of creature comforts, of the things that are offered up to
man's appetite ; other patterns are smaller, less bold in
character and admirably suited to library or study. On
first inspection you would never dream the admirably
matched figures of -the geometrical designs to be mere
paper.
Imitation leather papers are also numerous. The rich
gloss and warm coloring inherent in morocco and Russia
leather upholstering are cleverly reproduced. These
papers have the figures standing out from the groundwork
as though embossed, and are intended for a library or
hall, taking for granted the latter is Ught enough to admit
of such decoration. Imitation of woodwork for paneling
and wainscoting is also shown in wall paper. A design
for use in drawing room or boudoir is in shaded crimson
and rose. The groundvrork of one pattern is of a lustre-
less, pale crimson, so drill as to look almost like a staining
on a wood surface. Over this groundwork crimson roses
clamber, roses velvety red and with all the bloom of the
garden on their fresh petals. The effect is like an em-
bossed paper in that the flowers appear to stand out in
relief from the dull surface. A similar drawing-room
pattern is in old rose, only the coloring is reversed. The
deep velvet shade is the groundwork, and roses of paler
tint stray over it. Xo hint of gilding or ornate finish
appears in any one of the many new drawing room pat-
terns displayed. Only in the Lous XVI. style of decora-
tion, to which the gold is absolutely indispensable, does it
appear, and then there is only the merest tinge on the
edge of the garlands and ribbons, and the bulk of splendor
is left to the moldings and panelings that di-inde the
walls and ceiling.
The bedroom and dressing-room papers are freshest and
daintiest of all. Delicate sky blue ribbons, tied together
in bunches and mingled with scattered pink buds and
blossoms, form the attractions of one pattern, and yet
these are employed in stripes, and a half formal effect is
obtained — an effect for all the world Uke our great-great-
grandmother's best chintz bedspread, endowed with a
satia-like sheen and intrinsic beaut)', and treasured care-
fully only to be unearthed when some high and valued
guest appeared who must needs take comfort in the
' ' spare " room's benefits. A paper all in yellow and green,
a dainty spring idyl, has blossoming vines clambering
over a faintly tinted background. Another, bold in design,
with nodding poppies on slender stems and a suggestion
of wind swept grasses and breadth about it, is bound to be
popular. A pattern hinting unmistakably of the prim
linens and dainty sateens or tinted cotton draperies that
must go with it, has maiden's blush roses running up in
columns, and clustered crimson carnations for a note of
more decided color. Papers with dull, steel blue grounds
and quaint colored groupings and garlands are brought
out to match, or rather to accord with the new dimity
drapings and curtains; and perennial summer looks out
from the g^een, all-over designs, patterned after the old
time cretonnes, with brooks and bridges and lazy daw-
dling people reclining in leafy bowers under limitless skies.
One Japanese pattern has quaint little ships and lakes and
sandaled pedestrians wandering over it, done in violet and
green on a gray ground. Gray grounds, with heliotrope
and rose pink wreaths and emblems, are brought out to
harmonize with the tinted cotton draperies.
Altogether the season's opening of wall papers and
possibilities is a rare display. France sends the most
effective, most subtly wrought out patterns, but the Eng-
lish makers, while they use stronger colors and bolder
symbols, have great success with their designs.

"Downstairs," was the reply.
She sweetly smiled and grabbed her train.
And quickly hastened by.
Once down, she ventured to inquire,
" The linens, are they here ? "
"Just three rooms over to the right
And straight back in the rear."
At last she reached the point proposed.
" The linens? " — like a crash
The answer came across the shop,
" They're six rooms over — Cash! "
Again she jostled through the crowd,
And faintly asked the clerk,
" The linens, please? " " Upstairs," he said,
With tantalizing smirk.
She reached the top, quite out of breath.
'' The linens, sir? " she said,
" In the annex building, five floors up,
And then walk straight ahead."
Accomplishing the long ascent,
Her temper sorely tried.
She sharply asked the man in charge,
With wrath she could not hide :
"Will you tell me where the linens are,
Or if they're in the store? "
" We used to keep them, ma'am," he smiled.
But do not any more." — Ex.

A JUDICIOUS INVESTMENT.
The Best Economy in your Carpet Room
can only be secured by using the most perfect appliances, of the simplest
desio-n and the best construction.
Experience Has Proven the Fact
that the SINGER AUTOMATIC POWER CARPET SEWER will save its
cost in one year to any carpet dealer having enough business to require a hand
machine. THE SINGER AUTOHATIC is now in use by dealers who saved
its cost during the first six months of its operation.
A TRIUMPH OF MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY, SURPASSING ALL OTHER DEVICES FOR ITS PURPOSE.
Truly automatic, requires less labor and sews 40 per cent.
more carpet than any other machine on the market.
Requires least floor space, and uses any form of power.
Makes perfect stitch and seam, sewing any kind of carpet.
Automatic Matching and
Clamping Device.***'*****
This device is absolutely unique, and secures perfect stretching
and matching, without necessity for expert labor. It is simpler,
swifter and in every way more effective than any other way of
handling a carpet. The sewing machine works automatically on
its track, following the operator from section to section as fast as
each is matched and clamped, the action of the clamping levers
automatically governing the movement of the sewing machine,
thus saving a great deal of time
This is not a Hand Machine Crudely Adapted to Power Operation*
Our Hand Machine is well known, and is still on the market, fully guaranteed to be the best
and most practical in use.

It is evident that buyers are becoming more convinced every season that It
does not pay to purchase foreign made Upholstery and Drapery Fabrics
when they can buy American made goods of equal quality and superior
styles at considerably less money, That our productions for the
SPRING OF 1898
will substantiate the correctness of this assertion
we leave to the judgment of the Trade and invite the most careful
comparison between them and imported fabrics.

RUBBER STAIR TREADS.
Our treads are furnished either moulded or
cut. The former are made with a border, and
have the extra smoothness and finish peculiar
to moulded goods. We carry the regular sizes
in stock, %2 and yi inch thick. In addition we
have a very complete assortment of moulds for
special sizes and thicknesses, and are prepared
to supply on short notice treads for any and all
purposes.
The cut shows tread in position, with metal
nosing on edge of step. This protects both
step and rubber and gives a neat finish, espe-
cially if brass nosings are used. We supply
these last, and also galvanized iron nosings.
Cut treads furnished to order in all sizes and
shapes. No charge made for cutting.

The Carpets made by this Company have received tlie highest award wlierever exhibited,
including Gold Medals at the Paris Exposition, 1878, and at the Centennial, 1876.
Their deserved reputation for excellence of fabric, richness and durability of color, novelty and
beauty of design, has led to frequent infringements, and inferior goods have often. been palmed off
in their stead. For the protection of the public the Company has adopted as a trade mark the word
" BIGELOW," which will be woven (at every repeat of the pattern) in white capitals into the back
of the fabric. Customers will therefore have merely to examine the back of a carpet to be certain
that they are getting the genuine Bigelow goods.
THESE GOODS CAN BE HAD FROM ALL FIRST-CLASS DEALERS.

°Our readers are urged to remember that we are
always desirous to receive communications of interest to
the carpet or upholstery trades, such as changes in firms
or managers, the building or opening of new stores,
improvements in old ones, the adding of new departments,
improved methods of doing business, new inventions, sug-
gestions as to the cutting, making and laying of carpets,
the designing and fitting of draperies, or inquiries and
dissertations relating to the technical or commercial details
of the trades to which this periodical is devoted.
THE TRADE SITUATION.
p\URiNG the past fortnight duplicate orders have come
L^ in fairly well. Retail trade has opened in the
West, but is not entirely satisfactory in other parts of the
country, especially in the large cities. Still it is to be
remembered that, excepting in the country districts and
small towns, the spring business of late years has been
much smaller than that of the autumn, and this relative
decline in spring trade is becoming more marked with
every year that passes.
Manufacturers are preparing their new lines for the
coming season, and it is evident that the possibility or
probability of war will not be allowed to diminish
the importance or attractiveness of their offerings.
AROUND AND ABOUT.
THE proverbial stupidity of the daily newspapers when
they attempt to handle trade and technical topics
was well illustrated recently when in referring to the sus-
pension of work in a certain carpet mill several prominent
papers said that it was due to the impossibility of getting
hemp from the West Indies while war was threatened in that
part of the world. As everybody in the trade knows, nearly
all the hemp and jute yarns used for carpets are imported
from Scotland, the raw material for the yarn being procured
from East India, which is the chief source of supply for
both hemp and jute. There is, moreover, an abundant
stock of these yarns in the United States at present. It is
possible that even the half-baked young reporters of the
daily papers were aware of these facts, but ignored them
in their characteristic eagerness to give a sens3.tional twist
to every story.
A
HOLESALER had ouc of the brightest and most im-
pressive lectures on advertising read to him by a
country merchant last week that he has ever heard in his
life, says a Western paper. This merchant is not one of
the ordinary merchants. He is a character in his way, a
Hibernian, and with his full share of the proverbial wit.
This merchant lives in a small city in the State and buys
the better part of his goods in this city. He was in on a
buying trip, and passing a wholesale house, he observed
paper napkins in the windows. He went in to look at
them, for he had sale for such things in his store.
" An' do ye have paper napkins to sell ? " he asked of
the wholesaler. He did have them, he said. ' ' An' how
The Cari'kt and UriiOLSTEUY Trade Review.
the (livil do 1 be knowin' that ye have paper napkins to
sell if 1 don't eome down here and happen to see them in
the windy ? Why don't ye till a man ye have paper nap-
kins ? Why don't ye advertise ? Thin we'd know what
ye had to sell." The wholesaler told him that he did ad-
vertise, which was true.
"Ah. yis," said the merciiant, "an' how do ye adver-
tise ? Ye ptit a cut of yer buildin' in the paper. Now,
what the divil do I be wantin' to see the cut o' yer buildin'
for ? I don't care for yer old buildin'. It's what's in yer
buildin' that interests me. If ye have paper napkins say
ye have paper napkins, and don't be a showin' us a picture
of your big sthore. That's the way I'm a goin' to sell these
paper napkins I am buyin' of ye. I put an advertisement
in me paper at home to till the people of me town tliet I
have paper napkins to sell and the price they have to pay
for thim, and be the powers they come and buy them."
This wholesaler told me that he had more good advertis-
ing sense rubbed into him in ten minutes by this merchant
tli;uT he had found in books in the past ten years.
I r is :i moot point whether the largest carpet now in ex-
istence is at the Carlton Club, London, or at Windsor
Castle. Both of the carpets qualified to compete for the
title are noteworthy, the former, it is asserted, having
cost a sum (^8,000) equivalent to an annual income of
_;^-IOO — rather a large amount to be trampled upon — and
the latter containing almost 00,000,000 stitches, and hav-
ing occupied twenty-eight weavers during fourteen months
to make.
One of the most remarkable of carpets will, it is an-
nounced, become the property of Dr. Nansen ere long, a
number of enthusiastic Russian ladies having put in hand
a carpet, embodying a map of the North Polar regions em-
broidered in silks in the design, which it is intended to
present to the great explorer. The places visited by him
during his great exploit are to be worked in silver and
gold thread. Furnittire and Decoration says: "School
rooms are not usually carpeted, otherwise an enterprising
weaver could adapt the idea by weaving huge carpets con-
taining maps of the world or Great Britain and Ireland in
their design, thereby imprinting an idea of space on the
youthful mind which is not conveyed by an ordinary sized
map. We commend the idea to makers of kamptulicon,
"Of carpets intended to be used as coverings for the
lloor, the one ordered by Napoleon III., and at present on
the shelves of the tapestry factory at Gobelins, is doubt-
less the most valuable; it is, indeed, said to be worth
;£,"10,0()0, but the jeweled carpets belonging to the Shah
of Persia, the Sultan of Turkey, and the Maharajah of
Baroda are far more costly. Decorated with rare peai-ls
and diamonds, both the carpets of the Shah and the Sul-
tan are valued at ;£'500,000 apiece, while the carpet,
10x0 feet, stored in the Maharajah's treasure room, is
reputed to have cost ;^^300,000.
"The latter carpet took three years to weave, but that is
not surprising, for we are told that it is woven from strings
of pure pearls, with a centre and corner circle of dia-
monds. It is interesting to note that the sum spent on
this latter specimen of floor covering if coflverted into
sovereigns would make a pretty little golden carpet 10x0
feet, the design embracing 11,273 reproductions of the
Oueen's head; as the carpet would contain .seventeen
layers of sovereigns, no one could cavil at its want of
"pile." There would, moreover, be some p/^8,370 not
utilized in the carpet. This sum alone would provide
^100 a quarter to the owner. Personally we should pre-
fer the latter carpet to the Maharajah's."
I Inited States Minister Denhv sends from Peking in
answer to an inquiry the following facts relative to
patents and trade marks:
" There is no patent office in China. There is no pro-
hibition against the introduction of patented articles in
this country.
"With regard to copyright, trade marks and patents,
there are no treaties between the United States and China.
vShould disputes relating thereto arise between American
citizens in China, they would be tried before the American
consuls and decided according to the law of the United
States A patent held valid in the United States would
be so held in China in all cases in which Americans are
interested.
" With regard to native Chinese, they stand in all these
matters in the same relation to American citizens as the
inhabitants of any foreign country. The international
recognition of rights to patents, trade marks, &c., de-
pends entirely on treaties. In the absence of such treaties
there is nothing to prevent American books being re-
rinte.1, American trade marks copied and native produce
sold under them and American patented goods reproduced
by native workmen. The native laws, however, give
remedies for fraudulent repre.sentation or obtaining money
under false pretenses. I have on several occasions ap-
plied to the Chinese Government to furnish protection
against the fraudulent use of American trade marks. In
each case energetic action has been taken by the local
magistrates, and the perpetrators of the frauds have been
punished and damages assessed,
" Beyond such preventive action, I do not see how
under existing treaties and laws the Government of China
can do anything."
Vy/ D. Baker, of John Gay's Sons' selling staff, is to re-
' sume traveling over his old territory in Indiana and
Michigan for the fall season. Here is the way he notified
a customer of that fact:
"Dkar :
" 'And the cat came back because he couldn't stay away.'
So says the song, and how applicable to my case, for
under a kind disposition of Providence and the consent of
my respected chiefs, I am to once more visit your lively
city and incidentally call on the trade to show them the
beauties we produce in the shape of carpets, viz. : Flemish
Taps, Rajahs, Pai-k Mills and other well-known brands.
Presuming upon the friendship and kind courtesy shown
me in the past by you, I come as a suitor for a share of
your valuable business.
" My goods are fine, my prices right.
And as for patterns, they're out of sight.
" By the last phrase I do not mean literally not to be
seen, but I use it in the usual language of the day, mean-
ing unapproachable. I shall make my bow and sing my
little song about the - — of , and, as the theatrical
playbills say, ' We hope to earn your approbation and be
the recipients of many an encore.' "

In their circular dated March 24 H. W. 1 1 am man d &
Co., the Liverpool wool brokers, say :
The public auctions of East India wools in progress at the date
of our last circular closed without further changes on the 18th inst, —
the total quantity offered was 30,004 bales, of which 8,3'JO bales are
now held over account importers.
Considering the condition of the trade generally and the un-
desirable character of much of the offering, the result of the scries
may he considered fairly satisfactory, in fact rather better than was
anticipated. Competition throughout was rather quiet, but progress
was much impeded by numerous and extravagant limits, to v/hich
the heavy withdrawals are mainly due.
Compared with previous sales' rates, good yellows ruled fully ^d.
per pound lower, otherwise clean wools generally were practically
unchanged, except for some irregularity in white Kandahar; of this
class, however, the bulk of the offering was faulty and wasty, and
for most of the old wool held over from previous Bales lower prices
had to be accepted. Jorias, of which there was a small but good
selection, were quite firm, and all clean blanket descriptions, such as
Marwar and Jessulmere realized late rates, The cleaner parcels of
yellow wools up to 'Jd. per pound benefited considerably by the de-
mand from the States, but the uncleaned and heavy shrinkage wools
were avoided — the total purchases amounted to 4,800 bales against
2,300 bales in January. Ginned whites and yellows were rather
easier to buy, but grays were again in good demand, and most of
the Bussorah held over from January was disposed of at full rates.
In the course of their circular on the same subject
Hughes & Isherwood, wool brokers, Liverpool, say ;
Really long, soft wool was exceptionally scarce, and thus readily
made 7j4'd. to 7^d. per pound, while at and since the sales we have
made 7)^d. and 8d. per pound for a .small quantity, solely owing to
its merit and its scarcity. Undermarks were generally X*^- P**^
pound down ; heavy, greasy grays were often 'A'^- to ^d, lower, and
almost unsalable. Of Bubruck there was a fairly large and good
assortment, and prices were unchanged, v/hites bringing Oj^'L and
7d. , and yellows y^d, to Od. jjer pound. Vicanere whites ruled
steady at 7^d, to 7|^d. , but yellov/s — thanks to withdrawals in Janu-
ary— were in large supply and fully X'^- P'-r pound cheaper, pie'.ies
and grays being barely quotably lower. Pacputtan v/hites were
only sparingly represented, and at 6)^ to 7d. per pouud showed no
change, but yellows and undermarks v/ere barely steady. On the
other hand Kolvi, Kulat and indeed all other medium Karachi yel-
lows were in strong demand, and mark an average gain of about 0
per cent. Greasy parcels, however, of v/hich there were far too
many, afforded another proof of their unsuitability to the require-
ments of any section of the trade by again losing X'i- P''^ pound.
Several shipments of nicely bred Biossora, fairly clean, v/hich had
been held over from January, sold at 5j4^d. to 5^d, for the yellows,
4^d. to yd, for the black and brown, and 4d. to 4Xd. (chiefiy 4Xd. )
for the gray.
Already reduced or altogether removed limits have led to a few
withdrawn lots finding buyers, and the total quantity sold at and
since the auctions thus aggregates 31,4*9 bales, of which the Q<mti-
nent gets 3,2<K> bales, the United States and Canada 4,850 bales, and
the home trade 13,41i) bale:;. Wil)i'lr,awals, therefore, finally figure
at 8,300 bales; and adding to thes'; 1,9.08 bales which have mean-
while arrived per Ilispania, and 11,96'! bales advised by Jones as
afloat (including to-day's clearance of .^..^OO bales), it will be seen
that the supply in view for the May series already amounts to 22,284
bales.
^^B DEATH OF JOHN L. HOUSTON. Bl^

Thk H, B. Claflin Company are very much pleased with
the reception accorded to their travelers who left last
week for their filling-in trip. Duplicates have Vjecn coming
in with remarkable frequency, and the season will beyond
doubt prove to be one of the best in the history of the de-
partment. The Oriental rug and carpet departments are
alsf> doing an extra<jrdinary business, and the cut order
department has assumed a magnitude far beyond anything
that Manager Winters anticipated,
Tjjeke are some products of American manufacturing
skill that have no superiors in the world. Among this
class are the Smyrna rugs and carpets ma^le by John
Bromley & Sons, of Philadelphia, and sf>ld by 'J", B, Shoalf
& Co., of this city. In fabric, finish, color and perma-
nency they have for years found no superiors. Manufac-
turers in other lines might take a valuable lesson from
this standard and stalwart old house. While keeping up
the fabric to its highest point, they let no opportunity pass
to add to and improve their line ofpatterns,
Pitt & Scott, foreign freight and express forv/arders,

tures, and also containing other information of importance
to foreign shippers and all others having business connec-
tion abroad. The price of the bo<>>k is $1.50, and a dis-
count of 20 per cent, will be made on all orders received

Charles Wolf & Co., carpet and furniture dealers, are
to remove on May 1 from Avenue B to 2735 Third avenue.
A. Pearson's Sons succeed the late Alexander Pearson
in carpets, furniture, &c. , at 59 to 63 Myrtle avenue,

The H. B. Claflin Company have declared a quarterly
dividend of 1>2 per cent, on their common stock, payable

stock will be paid May 1.
A story has been passing from mouth to mouth during
the past few days to the effect that a prominent dry goods
jobbing house intends to give up its carpet department
and that the manager has made a connection with a heavy
carpet commission concern.
Charles F. Allen, carpet and furniture dealer. Grand
street, Brooklyn, has secured an additional store 20x90
feet, and now occupies the stores and basements from 586
to 596, 100 feet front and 90 feet deep, including the en-
tire middle building, three stories high.
Exports of carpeting and kindred goods from the port
of New York during the past four weeks were as follows:
Carpeting — Manchester, 25 rolls, $730; Mexico, 24 rolls,
$705; Southampton, 3 rolls, $150; Antwerp, 7pkgs., $97;
Hamburg, 3 pkgs., $90. Carpet Sweepers — Hamburg,

cs., $115; Glasgow, 6 cs. , $90 ; New Zealand, 6 cs., $73;
Rotterdam, 3 cs , $33.
John J. Mahoney, Patrick Hassen, Nicholas Carlin and
James Hallon, of Astoria, were held in $1,000 bonds to
await the action of the grand jurj' on March 30 by Mag-
istrate Smith in Long Island City, charged with burglary
in the third degree. The furniture store of Simon Bau-
mann. No. 3 Flushing avenue, was broken into a week
before, and rugs and clocks valued at $40 were stolen.
Detectives recovered the property buried in the sand and
mud on Berrian's Island.
Max Kest keeps a small carpet store at 198 Stanton street,
and lives in the rear rooms with his wife and two children.
On the night of the 31st ult. fire broke out in the store
just as the family was preparing to retire. In their anx-
iety to escape the parents rushed out of their apartments
and forgot all about little Max, who was sound asleep.
Once outside the parents missed the son, and immediately
set up a shout to rescue " My boy! my boy ! " &c. Chief
Cook, of the Fire Department, hearing the cry, burst
through the flames and smoke and rescued nine year old
Max none too soon. The damage to the stock and build-
ing was less than $1,000.
A public hearing was given on the 7th inst. by Mayor
Van Wyck upon the bill which recently passed the Legis-
lature, providing for the repeal of the $250 annual license
fee imposed upon local auctioneers and substituting there-
for a State bond of $5,000 and a city bond of $25,000.
The $250 fee which was imposed last year has been a
source of much dissatisfaction among auctioneers, who
claimed that it was an unjustifiable tax upon their busi-
ness. The mayor will give another hearing before dis-
posing of the bill.
Costikyan Freres have found the extension of their floor
room at 139 Broadway greatly to the advantage of their
trade, and have had notable success with the withdrawals
they have made from the shipments for this season's trade.
They have impartial testimony that their lots of goods in
the various lines of rugs and carpets are among the
choicest as to selection and condition in all similar goods
landed in the country. That is where the buyer will find
the best advantage in securing jobber's prices and having
hardly anything in his purchase to diminish his profits, as
is usually the case, and to avoid which the buyer has been
compelled to resort to selection and pay a higher price.
Costikyan Freres consider this notable improvement in
their importations an important step forward in the whole-
sale trade of Oriental rugs and carpets.
The Dry Goods Alliance, of this city, was incorporated
on the 12th ult. to deal in such articles as are sold in de-
partment stores. The capital stock is $25,000 and the

be presented to the Pennsylvania Museum and School of
Industrial Art by the New England Cotton Manufactur-
ers' Association April 16.
.... Lawrence Collins has removed his Ingrain plant to
the floor immediately above his old quarters. The change

lins has most of his looms in operation.
. . . .W. K. Smith, junior member of the firm of W. T.
Smith & Son, has returned from the Pacific Slope to re-
sume his duties at the mill. Wm. T. Smith, the senior
member of the firm, expects to make a short trip South
within the next few weeks.
.... William Wright, the well-known South street car-
pet dealer, will soon remove to the building at the south-
west corner of Nineteenth and Market streets. The
building is 25x125 feet, has three stories, and will be oc-
cupied entirely by Mr. Wright.
. . . .D. Jamieson's Sons have enlarged their ofiices and
removed them to the extreme northern portion of their
first floor, where they will be entered directly from the
street. The "burling room" succeeds to the position
formerly occupied by the ofiices. All their looms are run-
ning as usual.
.... Ferd. Werner, Ingrain carpets, Hancock and Som-
erset streets, is extremely busy in filling recent orders
and getting out his new fall styles. He reports a fairly
good season, but could conveniently do more. His Pro-
Brussels are really artistic in design and coloring, and are
becoming more and more popular.
. . . .William Henry Harrison Wallace, brother of John
C. Wallace, dealer in carpet yarns, died on the 4th inst. at
the age of fifty-eight years. Mr. Wallace was for sixteen
years connected with his brother in the yam business, al-
though a member of the Philadelphia bar. He had sensed

the war.
....John Watt's Sons' Hancock street, above Lehigh
avenue, report a " first-class" season, and are now busily
engaged in getting out new designs and colorings to be
made in their popular " Herculean " Ingrains. In fact,
so popular have these goods become that the Messrs.
Watts have decided to make a specialty of them, and will
be obliged to put in a number of new looms to meet the
demand.
.... McCallimi & McCallum furnished the new law
library in the city hall with a superb royal Wilton carpet,
made at the New Glen Echo Mills. It is a modest design
in gold, resting upon a ground of judicial green, corre-
sponding with the other ornamentations of the room.
Albert Graff, of Albert Graff & Co., is expected to
arrive home from China and Japan in the course of a day
or two. He comes by way of Vancouver, having sailed
from Japan by the steamer Empress of Japan. Mr.
Graff made large purchases of mattings while abroad,
most of which are already on exhibition at 609 Chestnut
street.
. . . .The James Dunlap Carpet Company will build a
new mill and boiler house at Fifty-sixth street and Lan-
caster avenue. The mill will be 102x310 feet and one
story in height. The boiler house will be 50x50 feet.
This increase in the manufacturing facilities of the com-
pany is an evidence of the rapid growth of the demand
for its goods.
.... A striking exhibition of color combination has been
on exhibition in the easterly windows of McCallum &
McCallum's store on Chestnut street for a few days. It
consists of a carpet with a handsome shade of solid green
for a centre, surrounded by a border of brilliant Oriental
colors, in which bright crimson, black and gold are skill-
fully intermingled.
.... Horace Wyman, of the Crompton-Knowles Loom
Works, Worcester, Mass., called at their agency here a few

several countries on the Continent, after having called at
the great burlap centre — -Dundee, Scotland.
.... The James Hall Carpet Company have had a very
fair spring season on their Ingrain carpets, Pro-Brussels
and Granites. They are at present making some improve-
ments in their mill, including a new ofifice and salesroom.
Edwin W. Harrison, of the company, has attended to the
road traveling, while John Hall looks after the manufac-
turing department.
. . . .McElroy& Scholes report a most excellent business
for the past season, better than any during the past five
yearSi They are now having all they can do to fill dupli-
cate orders, enough of which are on file to keep the looms
running for an indefinite period. Joseph S. McElroyis now
out upon his second trip of the season through Western
Pennsylvania and Ohio.
. . . .Harvey & Clark, manufacturers of jute and Smyrna
rugs, have been succeeded by the Ramas Carpet and Rug
Company, in which company the firm of D. Jamieson's
Sons are interested The product will be increased and
larger sizes will be added to the line as soon as possible.
The oiBce of the new company is at 1732 Blair street, in
the mill with D. Jamieson's Sons.
. . . .Thomas Develon's Sons'Victoria Carpet Mills, Han-
cock street and Lehigh avenue, have found a ready sale for
all their grades of Ingrains, and are now hard at work
upon new effects for the coming season. Judging from a
glimpse of a few of the new designs thus far completed,
we have no hesitation in saying that the offerings will
meet the approbation of all purchasers of first-class goods.
. . . .C. H. Masland & Sons are hard at work upon their
new offerings in their "Sevellan," patented weave, Amber
Extra Supers, Fernbrook Extras, Savon Art carpets, Art
Squares and all the other grades of Ingrain carpets made
in their large mill. They will line up in the front rank
with their new array of designs and color tints, made
especially for the fall trade. We predict for them an un-
precedented run.
The new church edifice built by the First Methodist
Episcopal Church, Germantown, has been handsomely
furnished by McCallum & McCallum. The floors required
1,000 yards of 3-4 carpets, and the goods used were the
Royal Wiltons made at the New Glen Echo Mills, Ger-
mantown The design in the carpet is well adapted to
churches — being somewhat of an ecclesiastical character —
while the colors are old gold upon an Indian red ground.
. . . .John Davenport has started his new mill for weav-
ing Tapestry carpets, and will eventually have fifteen looms
in position. He proposes to manufacture 8 and 10 wire
goods, and they will be full standard quality. The in-
dustry is something new for Mr. Davenport, he having
been interested for a long time in the production of up-
holstery goods. His Tapestry machinery is located on the
first floor of the western wing of his well-known Daven-
port Mills.
That Show Window Battleship.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review:
I noticed the description of a battleship in your issue of April 1,
and take pleasure in inviting you to come to McClain, Simpson &

structed two weeks ago, and which has been favorably commented
on by several New York daily papers.

Commission Men v. Salaried Salesmen.
New Ydrk, April 12, 1S98.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review :
In your issue of March 1 we notice a very interesting interview on
the subject of manufacturers placing their accounts in the hands of
small commission men, and the evils thereby engendered to both the
manufacturer and the salesmen. We heartily indorse the sentiments
expressed by your correspondent, and think all manufacturers will
find it will prove to their advantage to have competent salesmen,
and to give them a reasonable circle of territory and time to cover it
properly. Their returns will then be more satisfactory to both par-
ties than those of some weak-kneed commission man.
It is natural for all merchants to buy their goods as low as possible,
and their instinctive feeling is to bluff a commission man in a man-
ner they cannot use with a good salesman.
The manufacturers should consider this and get proper salesmen
to represent them, as it is much more pleasant to deal direct with a
mill through a competent salesman than to be worried by small com-
mission men, whose only interest is the commission on the sale then
in sight. Two Salesmen.

short paragraph regarding ourselves, and we write to ask the favor
of your correction of a small error which has crept into your notice.
We are in no sense " anew Oriental rug firm," Mons. H. Dauvergne
having been practically the originator of carpet manufacture in
Kashmir as a commercial industry some twenty-five years ago.
M. Dauvergne came to Kashmir about 1863, representing the
great shawl syndicate, in which we believe A. T. Stewart held the
American interest, and most of the finest of the Kashmir dress
shawls made between 1863 and 1873 were to his design and order,
and were shipped by him.
The four great centres of distribution of these goods were Paris,
New York, London and Vienna. The very finest shawls were made
in pairs and the design destroyed. The next class were made in
sets of four pairs, one pair going to each centre ; these designs, too,
were never repeated.
The shawl industry received a blow in the Franco-Prussian
war, from which it never recovered. The Paris market was closed,
and by the time it reopened fashion had changed, and the demand
for these magnificent goods had fallen off immensely.
Hence in 1873 M. Dauvergne turned his attention to the manufac-
ture of carpets, which had before only been made by the State and
a few very small makers, working a loom or two each in their houses.
Last year M. Dauvergne retired from business, and has gone
home to France to enjoy a well earned rest.
Our business is now controlled by Mr. Henry T. Harris, for a
number of years past, associated with Messrs. Tellery & Co.'s busi-
ness in Delhi,
We are now making carpets from the Vienna, South Kensington,
Berlin and French collections of antiques, and are making the re-
production of these old goods our specialty,

Alexander F. Crlcbton.
Alexander F. Crichton, general manager of the Planet
Mills, Brooklyn, N. Y., died at his home in that city on
the 9th inst. at the age of sixty-one years.
Mr. Crichton was a leading figure in the jute industry
of this country for over a quarter of a century. He was
born at Blairgowrie, Scotland, and came to New York in
1871; having relinquished the management of a large jute
mill at Dundee to accept an engagement to equip and
superintend the Planet Mills, Brooklyn, for the manufac-
ture of jute and hemp fabrics, carpets, burlaps, &c. Two
years later he went to Lewiston, Me., to take charge of a
mill established there for the manufacture of seamless
sacks. In 1877 he was en-
gaged as constructor and
manager of the Chelsea Jute
Mills, New York. Four years
afterward he became part
owner and manager of the
Kentucky River Mills a t
Frankfort, Ky. , and remained
in this position until 1881,
when he returned to the man-
agement of the Planet Mills,
and continued in charge of
them until his death.
Mr. Crichton was a mas-
ter of his trade in every de-
tail. He served an apprentice-
ship in a machine shop, and
then took a three years' course
of study in mathematics and
mechanical drawing in the
Kensington (London) School
of Art, from which he was
graduated as a mechanical
engineer. Referring some
months ago to his early ex-
perience in the trade, Mr.
Crichton said : "I was an ap-
prentice in a shop in Dundee
making machinery for the
manipulation of flax, hemp and jute. The latter fibre was
then being largely introduced as a substitute for flax and
hemp. While the flax machinery then in use came the
nearest to reducing the jute fibre to yarn, its comparative
weakness necessitated and suggested a radical change in
the internal construction of the various machines. It thus
happened that in my apprenticeship I was brought face to
face with the mathematical problem of what is the differ-
ence between flax, hemp and jute; the solving of which,
and reducing same to practical utility, has been both a
pleasure and a profit."
During Mr. Crichton's long connection with the jute
industry he invented and introduced many devices for the
economy and quality of production and the saving of labor.
He was a member of the Brooklyn Masonic Veterans, De
Witt Clinton Commandery, and Lexington Lodge, F. and
A. M., the Manufacturers' Association of Kings and
Queens Counties, and the St. Andrew's Society of the
State of New York.

A. J. SmUb.
Adoniram J. Smith, senior member of the firm of A. J.
Smith and Son, Davenport, la., died at his home in that
city on the 7th inst. Mr Smith was born at Columbus,
N. J., in 1840. He went to Davenport in 1858, and was
employed there as a clerk until 1881, when, with the late
Francis McCullough as a partner, he bought the business
of Daniel Gould, who had been his employer for eighteen
years, and carried on the carpet and furniture trade
under the firm style of Smith & McCullough until 1895.
Mr. McCullough then retired, and Will G. Smith, son of
the senior partner, entered the firm, the name being
changed to A. J. Smith & Son.
Mr. Smith was an energetic and successful business
man. He leaves a widow and two sons.
WUIiatn H. H. Wallace.
The death of William H.
H. Wallace, carpet yarn mer-
chant, adds another to the
sudden and unexpected de-
mises which have occurred in
the trade during the past six
months. Mr. Wallace died
on the 4th inst. from pneu-
monia after only a few days'
illness. In fact during the
previous week he had made
his usual rounds among the
carpet mills of Philadelphia
in apparently ordinary health.
The funeral occurred on the
7th inst., and an evidence of
the great esteem and affection
in which the decedent was
held by the trade is the fact
that nearly every carpet man-
ufacturer attended, while let-
ters of sympathy have been
received by John C. Wallace,
the decedent's brother, from
every part of the country
where carpets are woven or
carpet yarns are spun.
William Henry Harrison
Wallace was born in Philadelphia May 18, 1840, and was
named for the popular Whig candidate for the Presidency,
whose praises were then being sung throughout the land.
He was educated for the legal profession, but some years
ago joined his brother, John C. Wallace, in the carpet
yarn business, and in that position had come in contact
with almost every carpet manufacturer in the trade. His
opinions on matters connected with carpet manufacturing
and yarn operations were highly respected, and his even
disposition endeared him socially to the manufacturing
trade, to whom his comparatively early demise will long
cause serious reflections upon the uncertainty of life. Mr.
Wallace left a widow, but no children.
J. H. Tuchband, a traveling man for A. A. Vantine &
Co., importers of Oriental goods at New York, committed

INSTALMENT SALES IN ILLINOIS.
IN our issue of the 1st inst. an erroneous statement was
made regarding an important decision of the Supreme
Court of Illinois in a chattel mortgage suit. The decision
was in the case of Lucius B. Mantonya v. the Martin Em-
erich Outfitting Company, Chicago, and grew out of the
sale of furniture by the defendants to parties who were
running an apartment house and who abandoned it, leav-
ing some of the furniture which had been purchased, and
for which a note had been given, secured by chattel mort-
gage. The owner of the building, who attempted to seize
the furniture for the rent which had not been paid,
claimed that the chattel mortgage held by the Martin
Emerich Outfitting Company was invalid on account of an
Illinois statute, which provided that no chattel mortgage
executed by a married man or a married woman on house-
hold goods should be valid unless joined in by the husband
or wife, as the case might be. The mortgage in question
had been signed by the wife only. But counsel for the
company argued that the statute quoted had no applica-
tion to the point at issue, because it related only to house-
hold goods owned by the mortgagor at the time the mort-
gage was executed, its chief intent being to prevent a
drunken or profligate husband from mortgaging his
household goods without the knowledge or consent of his
wife.
In the course of his argument, counsel said: "Mani-
festly the Legislature could not have had in mind a case
where a husband or wife, in order to obtain goods for
household family use, bought them on credit, and as a
part of the transaction of purchasing them agreed either
that the title to the goods should not pass to the purchaser
until the whole price was paid, or that any balance unpaid,
or for which credit was given, should be secured by a
chattel mortgage on the property itself, and where it was
so done at the time of purchase, and before the goods had
become household goods by actual use. "
The Supreme Court took this view of the point involved,
for it ruled concerning it as follows:
It is true that the articles described in the mortgage are such as
may be devoted to household purposes and become household
goods, but that fact alone does not bring them within the pro-
visions of the statute. That a husband or wife may purchase such
articles and give a valid chattel mortgage upon them in his or her
own name to secure the purchase price, notwithstanding the statute,
is clear. In such case the mortgage lien is created before the prop-
erty has become household goods, within the meaning of the statute.
The object of the statute is to protect a husband or wife in the use
and enjoyment of the family household goods against a profligate
disposition thereof. It was not intended to operate as a means of
hindering or preventing husbands or wives from purchasing goods
for household purposes. The objection to the mortgage was prop-
erly overruled.
The judgment of the Appellate Court in favor of the
Martin Emerich Outfitting Company was confirmed by
the Supreme Court, not reversed as stated in our issue of the
1st inst., and a question of great importance to all Illinois
dealers in carpets and furniture was thus finally settled.
William L. Whipple, Providence, R. -I., has enlarged
his store by taking in two more floors, each 28x48 feet,
and will soon put in a new plate glass front with large
show windows.

the work of transporting the militia to the front, providing nurses,
and furnishing to the militiamen such necessities as the Government
does not provide for its defenders. On the board of managers is
Mrs. Tobey, wife of B. H. Tobey, of the H. B. Claflin Company's
carpet department. Mrs. Tobey represents the Fourteenth Regiment,
of which her husband is major, in the newly organized corps.
Van Sciver.— J. B. Van Sciver, of J. B. Van Sciver & Co., Cam-
den, N. J., is at present enjoying a needed rest on the slopes of the
Pacific. Mr. Van Sciver is recognized as a most thoughtful and
liberal employer, and his 350 workmen are continually loud in his
praises. A few days ago each of those workmen received by express
a large box, which, being opened, was found filled with luscious
blood oranges from the groves of California. The gift was a most
welcome as it was a most thoughtful one, and Mr. Van Sciver has
scored another point with his grateful employees.
Yardum. — Besides being successful in their Oriental rug business
the Messrs. Yardum, of Yardum Brothers & Co., are largely in-
terested in the Baranca mines in Armica, Mexico. They became
interested in these mines some two years ago, which have developed
a richness in gold and silver ore far beyond the first anticipations.
THE NEW MAKE OF LINOLEUM.
THE Trenton Oil Cloth Company are now prepared to
show the samples of their linoleum, preparations for
the manufacture of which have been in progress for sev-
eral months past. The company will produce linoleum in
five qualities of printed goods, designated as A, B, C, D
and E, with plain linoleum in the usual grades, and also
borders in the regular widths. The goods will be turned
out in 8-4 and 16-4 widths exclusively. The line of pat-
terns shows many novelties and radical departures from
prevailing styles, and the company propose to present
original ideas in designs and colorings.
Samples are being shown by O. F. Spate, the selling
agent, who is temporarily located at 224 Canal street. New
York, and the company are prepared to book orders for
the fall season's delivery.
W. J. M. SUTHERLAND.
WILLIAM J. M. Sutherland, whose portrait is presented
herewith, is buyer of carpets and draperies for the
finn of Smith & Murray, Springfield, Mass.
Mr. Sutherland was born in Scotland thirty years ago, and
began his business life
there as an apprentice
in the dry goods trade.
He came to the United
States ten years ago,
and secured a position
in the store of Smith
& Murray, who rank
among the most prom-
inent dry goods and
carpet dealers in
Springfield, with
branch houses at
Greenfield, Warren
and Ware, Mass., and
at Bridgeport, Tor-
rington and Thomp-
sonville. Conn. Mr.
Sutherland is one of the best known buyers in the New
York and Boston markets, and is considered an expert in
the lines of goods he handles.

H. Dauvergne & Co., of Srinagar, Kashmere, East
Indies, are extensive manufacturers of Oriental carpets in
wool and pashmina. They employ over 200 looms in
their factories and use only vegetable dyes, no coal tar
product being employed by them. They invite corre-
spondence, and are certainly in a position to interest
strongly every dealer in Oriental rugs and carpets. See

RUG AGREEMENT IN CHICAGO.
\NAGERS of the rug departments of
the State street and Wabash
avenue stores, Chicago, are con-
gratulating themselves that a tone
has been restored to the rug
trade — at least, to a part of it.
For a time there was no money
in selling domestic Smyrnas, be-
cause prices were cut and slashed
at such a reckless rate. It got to such a pass that the
rugs were being sold for cost. Aaron Kline, Arnold
Constable & Co.'s representative in Chicago, determined
to brace up the demoralized trade if possible, and through
his efforts all the State street and Wabash avenue mer-
chants concerned assented to an agreement to make the
price on 9x13 rugs $35, and to ask a certain price for each
of the other sizes. As a penalty for breaking the agree-
ment the mill men agreed not to sell to the merchant who
cut the price. The scheme has worked well, I am told by
the manager of one of the largest rug departments in the
city. The price has been kept up, only one house cutting
it, and while the merchant has been getting a fair profit
for handling the goods, the sales have been nearly, if not
quite, as large as before.
OVER THE "POND."
The Kidderminster Shuttle of the 2d inst. says: "Mr.
H. K. Beatty, agent for the H. B. Claflin Company, is
expected to visit Kidderminster next week. Mr. Beatty
is on a grand tour, which includes Turkey, France, Ger-
many and England, in search of rugs and textile novelties
to the extent of $100,000, so rumor states."
The annual general meeting of the shareholders in John
Barry, Ostlere & Co., Limited, manufacturers of linoleum,
Kirkcaldy, Scotland, was held recently at Kirkcaldy, Mr.
John Barry, chairman of the company, in the chair. The
chairman briefly submitted the directors' report and bal-
ance sheet for the year ending January 31, 1898, and it
was agreed that a dividend of 12 per cent, per annum for
the half-year ending January 31, free of income tax, be
paid on the ordinary share capital, making, with the in-
terim dividend already paid, 9 per cent, for the year. The
balance of ;^14,103 Is. was carried forward. The retiring
directors. Alderman Sutton, H. T Peterkin and George
Whyte, were unanimously re-elected.
The linoleum works of the Oxolin Syndicate at Mitcham,
in the outskirts of London, were completely destroyed by
fire on March 3.
Hirst & Roger, the Philadelphia Tapestry and Velvet
carpet manufacturers, have had their plant running to its
full capacity throughout the entire season. It is very
evident from this fact that the trade appreciates the prod-
uct of their mills. Their new location at Kensington and
Allegheny avenues is admirably adapted to the manufac-
turing of carpets. They extend an invitation to the trade
to call and see them in their new quarters and inspect
their goods.
PACIFIC COAST NOTES.
The carpet and furniture business is very quiet, and is liable to
become more so if a good heavy rain is not forthcoming. Spring
trade is very slow in awakening, and the war
San Fraacisco, scare constitutes the principal topic of the day.
April 6. ^ severe shock of earthquake visited this city
and vicinity last week, and shook things to the
foundation. The property loss about town was very small, the
greatest amount of damage being the shock to people's nerves.
Trade is so quiet that even the earthquake did not shake it up.
D. M. Crowley has opened a furniture store at Nelson, B. C.
Joseph E. Fredericks & Co. report very fair trade in all depart-
ments of their store.
D. N. & E. Walter, notwithstanding the general depression, have
been very successful in securing many good orders.
A new business venture in Blaine, Wash., is that of Goodfellow
& Wolton, who have opened a furniture store there.
The Charles M. Plum & Co. Upholstery Company report their
fine carpet business as much improved over past seasons.
W. J. Cordes, owner of the carpet department in the Emporium,
has established a rug department in conjunction therewith.
R. H. Chilton has sold out his furniture business at Spokane,
Wash., and returned to his old home in Waitsburg, Wash.
Charles L. Beal, representing Thomas Develon's Sons, Philadel-
phia, is enjoying a good trade with that concern's excellent Extra
Supers.
J. E. Field, probably one of the best known lace curtain and
upholstery men in the business, has accepted the position of manager
of the upholstery department of the Emporium and Golden Rule
Bazaar department store.
S. L. Frost, Jr., a well-known furniture dealer of Marysville, Cal.,
passed away in that city a few days ago at the age of sixty-one
years. He was born in Michigan, and came to California in 1859,
and for a time worked on a farm near Honcut. Later he started in
the furniture business in Marysville with J. J. Shaffer, the firm being
widely known as Frost & Shaffer. In late years and up to the time
of his death he had conducted the business alone. Mr. Frost leaves
a widow and daughter.
The affairs of the San Francisco Furniture Manufacturing Com-
pany are again in the courts. Judge Slack has made an order find-
ing that John C. Hughes, the former assignee of the company, is in-
debted to the corporation to the extent of $12,531. This was the
case in which the corporation failed for $9,000, while the assets were
estimated to be worth $43,989. Hughes was the assignee appointed
in insolvency. He took charge at once and conducted the business.
Last August, however, the creditors called upon him to resign, alleg-
i ng that through his bad management the original indebtedness of the
company had been nearly doubled. Hughes resigned and went to
Tacoma, Wash., but before leaving filed certain vouchers with the
court. The matter was looked into by Attorney G. R. Lukins, who
obtained a copy of Hughes' bond, on which the sureties were F. W.
M. Lang and E. H. Lang, who qualified for $35,000. He then
moved that the statements made by Hughes be looked into. This
was done, and it was found that the indebtedness was as given
above. There is a possibility that the bondsmen of Hughes may
be sued. Golden Gate.

THE SADIK RUG COLLECTION.
iNCE obtaining larger quarters the
rug department of B. Altman &
Co., this city, has become a
highly important feature of
that firm's great establish-
ment. Altman & Co. 's repu-
tation as dealers in reliable
goods only, is maintained in
its rug trade as carefully as in
the other departments of the
house, and in its offerings of
Oriental rugs this feature of
the firm's policy is particu-
larly conspicuous, for the stock
comprises some of the choicest
and rarest rugs and carpets
ever shown in this country, and the offerings generally are
distinctly high in grade. This remark applies with special
force to the celebrated Sadik collection which Altman &
Co. have been so fortunate as to secure, and are now pre-
senting to the inspection of connoisseurs and the public
generally. Mr. Sadik, one of the most prominent rug col-
lectors of his day, spent years in securing the rare and
precious examples of the Oriental rug weaver's art
which are now on exhibition in this department. The
rugs in this collection comprise a variety of sizes, large
and small, and range in value from $10,000 downward.
Among the choicest pieces may be mentioned an antique
Kirmanshah, a rare example of floriated design, an antique
Sirdar, in which a dark ground of sapphire is elaborately
wrought with arabesque lines in rose red; an antique
Persian silk carpet, in which the design is that of the old
Persian Triclinium, and an antique Sarak rug. Silk and
mohair rugs are especially prominent in the collection, and
many fine effects in Persian weaves are included in it.
We present below a cut showing the Sadik collection as
arranged in the spacious room reserved for it under the
direction of Mr. Jones, manager of the department.
FIRE IN A CARPET MILL.
riRE broke out April i at about 3 p. m. in the Davenport
Mills, corner of Hancock and Somerset streets, Phila-
delphia, and for a time threatened to spread through the
entire building. It first appeared in the third story of the
westerly building, occupied by Harvey & Clark, manu-
facturers of Smyrna rugs, and burned at a furious rate
before the arrival of the fire department. The building
was, of course, flooded with water, and the occupants of
the stories below got the full benefit of it. The second
story is occupied by Edward Ludwig, manufacturer of
Ingrain carpets, whose goods were badly damaged by
water. John H. Donlan, also a manufacturer of carpets,
is in the same story with Mr. Ludwig, and came in for his
share of the soaking.
John Davenport, owner of the property, occupies the
first floor, and the flood came in a very inopportune time
for him. Mr. Davenport is of the firm of Davenport &
Hawley, who are just starting in the manufacturing of
Tapestry carpets, and their factory is filled with new
machinery and stock, including quite a quantity of printed
yarns ready for the loom. Aside from the delay in the
new enterprise, Messrs. Davenport & Hawley will experi-
ence some loss in damage to the new machinery, estimated
at about $1,000. The mill will, however, be in full opera-
tion in a few days. Harvey & Clark's loss is $1,000, no
insurance; Ludwig's loss is $3,000, insured; and Donlan's
loss is $1,600, insured.
UPHOLSTERED HANDLES.
THE Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company have secured ex-
clusive control of a patented process for covering
sweeper handles with velour, or velvet, and it is apparent
that the practicability of this feature will appeal at once to
the trade and the consumer. These handles will be cov-
ered with handsome velour or velvet in variegated designs
and patterns, and will be mounted with nickel caps and
bands. These richly upholstered handles will not only be
delicate to the touch, but will prevent the marring of fur-
niture in sweeping under beds, tables and lounges, or
when the handle tips over by accident, as often occurs.
These handles will add materially to a carpet sweeper
display, and cannot fail to promote the sale of Bissell
sweepers.
THE LONDON FUR SALES.
A LONDON paper says: "The public fur sales have just
taken place, and although it was considered in well
informed quarters that the prices of the furs generally
would hold their own — the general range having been very
low — the sharp rise which has taken place was not antici-
pated. Almost all classes of furs have increased in value.
Hudson Bay and American marten (usually called sable)
are fully 25 per cent, up, dark skins even 40 per cent. ; but
the prices of the common and cheaper sorts will rate about
the same as last year. Mink is in great request for all
countries, and is 25 per cent, higher. Skunk, another
fashionable fur, is 25 per cent, to 33 per cent, up ; but last
year's values were extremely low, so that a rise in the
value of this fur has not caused any surprise. White fox
skins for dyeing in the present fashionable colors are on

an average 30 per cent, higher, but they also were cheap
last year. Black bears had a sudden rise, owing, it is
understood, to large Government orders, but the common
skins were priced much as usual. The Russian dealers
take most of the beautiful silver foxes, but some fine skins
were retained for home orders. On the whole, there has
been a good rise on last year's exceptionally low prices.
This has no doubt been caused by the Americans buying
their own furs direct. Owing to the new regulations and
duties on the furs belonging to people entering America,
inhabitants of the United States are compelled to buy their
fur garments at home instead of going to England or
France for them.

THE TRADE IN ST. JOSEPH, MO.
AN important commercial interest of St. Joseph is the
furniture trade. Four large firms are engaged in
that line, carry heavy stocks and occupy more floor space
than furniture houses in larger cities. The retail trade
extends for a radius of 300 miles, and the volume of the
trade of St. Joseph will reach $1,000,000 annually.
The Louis Hax Furniture Company, now composed of
Louis Hax, Sr. , and Louis Hax, Jr., was established by
the elder Hax nearly half a century ago. The store was
then a small one on the west side of Market square, and
from that humble commencement the present mammoth
house has grown. Besides the retail furniture, this firm
does a large jobbing business in carpets.
Next in point of age is the Weigel & Sons Furniture
Company. This firm has been in business in St. Joseph
for sixteen years. It also has had a remarkable growth,
keeping pace with the city. Weigel & Sons began busi-
ness on Third street, but the increase in their trade com-
pelled a change in location, and they now occupy five
floors on Sixth street, besides two warehouses.
Another firm that has had a remarkable growth is
the Enterprise Furniture and Carpet Company. It has
been in business in St. Joseph for seven years, for four
years in the present location, on Sixth street, between
Edmond and Charles, where it occupies six floors. The
growth of the trade enjoyed by this house has also been
wonderful. It was established on a much smaller scale at
Felix and Market. By energy and application to business
it has built up a trade to its present proportions.
Kirwan, the house furnisher, is also an example of what
perseverance and business pluck will do. Besides furniture
Mr. Kirwan carries a complete line of house furnishing
goods. Ten years ago he started in a small way. His
Imsiness has grown to such an extent that he now occupies
six floors, 22xr27 feet each, at 313, 315 and 317 North
Third street. Mr. Kirwan is enthusiastic over the future
of St. Joseph, and thinks it has started on an era of great
prosperity.
All four firms mentioned report a demand for the high-
est grade goods manufactured, and say that the people of
St. Joseph are evidently not suffering from hard times.
J. B. Brady & Co. are exclusive dealers in carpets and
curtains, a line rather closely associated with the furniture
trade. This house is among the oldest in St. Joseph and
does a heavy and constantly increasing business.
BOSTON BUDGET.
Extensive improvements are being made by the Bay
State Carpet and Furniture Company in its establishment
on Hanover street. The partition between
its two stores has been removed on the first
floor, a fine new front is being put in, and
an elevator has been built into the centre of the commo-
dious structure.
Manager Bacon, of R. H. White & Co., was in New
York this week.
Most of the Boston carpet houses report an improve-
ment in trade the past ten days.
Miss F. Woods, cashier at Thomas O'Callaghan & Co. 's,
and well known in New York, is at home ill.
I. W. Chick, of John H. Pray, Sons & Co., will be away
for some days on a trip to New York and other places.
George T. Horan, carpets and furniture, Charlestown,
has occupied the store formerly leased by E. A. Carter.
The Klondike Upholstering Company is a new firm, at
33 Portland street, in the quarters formerly occupied by
the New England Parlor Suit Company.
Gilbert, Brooks & Tebbutt, carpets, rugs, &c., 39 and 41
Summer street, who suffered loss of $15,000 (fully insured)
by fire March 37, will reopen their store on the 11th inst.
Houghton & Button, who have just put up an immense
modern structure for a department store, in place of their
old one on Tremont street, without interruption to their
business, have placed their carpet department on the fourth
floor, where it has ample room. Thomas W. Rich is
buyer. Wall papers are on the same floor, as upholstery
goods will be also when the building is completed.
New England Notes.
Eli M. Northrop, dry goods, carpets, &c., New Canaan,

den. Conn., was entered on March 25 by burglars, who,
however, secured no booty. It is presumed that the
" job " was the work of boys.

display of furniture, &c., the store was handsomely dec-
orated with palms and potted plants, and chairs and couches
were arranged in the different departments for the comfort
of the guests while they listened to an excellent concert by
the Battery B Band, which was engaged for the occasion.
_ F. J. B.
CELEBRATED THEIR FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.
ON the 4th inst. Petherbridge & Burns, Pittsfield,
Mass., had a formal " Easter opening" and cele-
brated at the same time the fifth anniversary of their entry
into business. On this occasion there were music by
Clark's Orchestra and souvenirs for the ladies; no goods
were sold, but the members of the firm and their salesmen
devoted themselves to the entertainment of their visitors.
The firm is composed of William T. Petherbridge and
Louis Burns, portraits of whom are presented on this
page.
Starting in the spring of 1893 with a limited capital and
in poorly arranged quarters, they began by making their
store as attractive as possible, and from the start demon-
strated that under the most adverse circumstances success
may be won. From a small beginning the business has
grown to its present proportions, they having done the
largest business in furniture and general housekeeping
goods in the county. The old store was crowded with
goods, so that two years ago it became necessary to hire
the adjoining store to accommodate their rapidly growing
carpet trade ; but even this was not enough, and in the
middle of last December the firm decided that it was
necessary to find larger and more modern c|uarters.
They leased the stores 295, 297 and 299 North street —
Bums' " Yellow Block " — which was altered so as to make
it one of the largest, brightest and best appointed stores
in the city.
The establishment includes three stories and basement,
making a floor space of 26,000 feet — all the floors are con-
nected with a freight elevator, so that goods are handled
with expedition and care. In the basement are mattings,
refrigerators, crockery, tinware, &c. On the first floor
are desks and office furniture, sideboards, chiffoniers, hall
trees, &c. On the second floor are dining room furniture,
upholstered goods and odd pieces, tables, cabinets,
dressing tables, chairs, cabinets, pictures, frames, &c.,
as well as a room where commercial men may show
their samples, photographs, &c., and where the buyer
may be free from interruptions — Messrs. Petherbridge
& Burns have great regard for the comfort of the " boys
on the road." The carpet and upholstery stock also occu-
pies the southern section of this floor. The third floor is
devoted to chamber furniture, bedding, &c.
Besides this building the firm have two large store-
houses. A feature of the first floor of the store is the firm's
office in black walnut and plate glass. Petherbridge &
Burns are recognized as pace makers in the household
furnishing business, and have thus far kept ahead in the
race. Tact, push and principle have brought them on
their way and earned for them the peerage which is now
theirs.
NAIRN INLAID LINOLEUM.
THE Nairn Linoleum Company, of Kearney, N. J .,
showed for the spring trade, in addition to their
offerings in standard linoleum, a new line of inlaid goods,
and their offerings for the coming season will comprise a
number of new and highly attractive patterns in inlaid
linoleum. The spring styles have proved very successful,
having found a large and quick sale, and the new line is
certain to be in even greater demand, special care having
been taken in the production of entirely novel, original
and handsome patterns. W. & J. Sloane are sole selling
agents for the company.
A NEW industry in Japan is the manufacture of the
cheaper grades of carpets out of ox hair. The raw ma-
terial is obtained from as far as Korea in the north and
Australia in the south. The future of the industry is con-
sidered to be very promising.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review,
Their History and Manulacture.
Printed Tapestry Carpeting.
The making of Tapestry Brussels by the method which
has been described enables the maniifacturer to produce
handsome carpeting at a low cost, but the dyeing of the
yarn is a delicate operation and the process of manu-
facture throughotit requires much skill and care and the
investment of a large amount of capital. For these and
other reasons many attempts have been made to simplify
the process and to reduce still further the cost of manu-
facture, but among all the improvements put forward in
this line of invention during the past forty years or more,
ihe conception of James Dunlap. of Philadelphia, has
proved the most successful.
In the process patented by Mr Dunlap in 1891 the
yarns are woven undyed, or dyed of a uniform basic color
or tone, and they are woven like a Tapestry or Velvet
carpet, that is, without a Jacquard machine. After the
fabric is woven, with the pile cut or uncut, as desired, it is
submitted to the action of a color printing machine some-
what similar to that which is used in calico printing, in
which the fabric is wound on a large pressure drum or
roller, and pattern rollers, one for each color and engraved
to produce the design desired, revolve in contact with the
face of the undyed carpet.
The idea of impressing a design upon an undyed carpet
by means of block or roller printing devices was not anew
one, but Mr. Dunlap's method of carrying it out was
original and overcame an obstacle which had baffled all
previous inventors. This dilHculty was caused by the fact
that a pile carpet, cut or uncut, is a comparatively soft,
yielding mass, which, to be perfectly dyed, must receive
the color not only on the tips of the pile, but down to the
very roots and even into the back. Moreover, the color
mus-t be so applied that the yielding or wearing of the pile
in use will not distort the pattern. Great pressure must
be employed to force the color into and through the fabric,
and the dyeing matter must be used in considerable quan-
tity, but not so as to fly or run laterally in the pile beyond
the exact limits of the particular figure of the pattern
being printed at that point.
In Mr. Dunlap's process the carpet fabric, after being
woven undyed in an ordinary Tapestry loom, is prepared
for the reception of the dyes by dampening its surface
with a mixture of oil, vitriol and other ingredients. The
fabric is then dried by running it over hot cylinders. The
dyeing is accomplished by winding the carpet around a
large drum and then submitting it to the pressure of re-
volving printing rollers, one roller being used for each
color. The designs engraved upon the printing rollers
are cut to a certain depth, and then further and deeper cuts
are made in the form of cells or cups evenly distributed
over the entire figure. These cups receive the heads of
the pile and the great pressure with which the roller is
applied forces the color into their very roots. After pass-
ing the fabric through the rollers steam is forced into and
through it from both sides, in order to drive the dye into
it and at the same time to raise the pile, which has been
forced down by the pressure of the printing roller.
In June, 1896, Mr. Dunlap obtained an additional patent
for certain improvements on his original process, by which
the various steps in it which have been described are per-
formed continuously and automatically, instead of being
more or less independent of each other. This improve-
ment was accomplished by embracing in a single structure
a printing mechanism, a steam chamber, a starching ap-
paratus, a dryiug chamber and means for operating auto-
matically and in concert the various parts of the structure.

. The grand opening of John McKeown's big furniture and
house furnishing establishment on the 5th inst. was with-
out doubt the most elaborate event that has taken place in
Braddock, Pa. The big stores were crowded all day.
The rooms were a bewildering mass of pretty things.
Flowers, ferns, palms, potted plants, delightful music and
happy, pushing, pleased crowds were the features.
McKeown, who is the Napoleon of trade in his line in
Braddock, and his zealous assistants were busy, happ}' and
handled the immense crowds nicely. Thirteen hundred
dollars given away as presents was one of the attractions.
FLEMISH TAPESTRIES AND RAJAHS.
OHN Gay's Sons, Howard and Norris
streets, Philadelphia, are quite
btisy in filling duplicate orders,
and the prospect is bright for a
flourishing trade in the near fu-
ture. Their new " Flemish Tapes-
tries," like their predecessors, the
" Rajahs," have taken a firm hold
of the retail trade, and the demand
for them is constantly increasing.
The Messrs. Gay are looking for-
ward to the time when they will qtiite rival " Rajahs " in
popularity. The latter are well known to the retail trade,
and have proved their title to the highest praise. Their
success has been quite phenomenal, for they sprang into
popularity on their first issue, and the large number of
looms then put to work upon them have never been de-
creased. The Messrs. Gay claim that the secret of the
success of these superb fabrics-is their magnificent quality,
and the claim is borne out by the number of letters from all
parts of the country giving testimony to the superiority of
the goods.
The phenomenal success of the fabrics in question is
proof positive that quality, like blood, will tell in the long
run, and the run of the Flemish Tapestries and Rajahs
promises to be a particularly long one.

CHINESE MATTING MARKET.
ADVICES from Canton, dated March 14, say: "Some
more settlements have taken place during the past
ten days, and contracts to date are put at 220,000 rolls.
We quote 1}( cent on the lower grades and 1 cent in the
higher grades over named rates. Any large line of com-
mon grades would be difficult of placing. Dealers have
their straw crop fully engaged, and will have to count
upon the new crop to a great extent with which to com-
plete orders. Shipments from Hong Kong and Canton to
New York from May 1, 1897, to March 5, 1898, were
228,975 rolls. For the same period in 1896 the shipments
were 449,713 rolls

call attention to their fine line of- hall rugs. It should be
borne in mind that the Messrs. Karagheusian are in a
position to interest the largest buyers and they invite a

The Norristown Carpet Mills, of Norristown, Pa., were
sold on the 13th inst. by the sheriff. William F. Solly,
attorney of the guarantors of a mortgage of $19,000, held
by the Montgomery Trust Company, of Norristown, was
the purchaser. The price paid was $1,000. The property
cost the guarantors about $33,000, there being two
mortgages against the property to that amount. Another
incumbrance of $14,000, held by Philadelphia parties, is
wiped out by the sale. The mills have been closed down
since the disappearance of James W. Barker, who managed
them.
The Hartford Carpet Company's lines of Wiltons, Brus-
sels, Axminsters, Ingrains, Saxony carpets. Art Squares,
&c., have found quick appreciation in the trade of the
season to this date, as was to be expected from the highly
attractive character of the offerings in all the grades.
The Saxony carpets and hall runners have been in great
demand, and the Charter Oak Art Squares have also made
a highly favorable impression. These squares are 3 and
4 yards wide, and the patterns comprise a wide range of
new and artistic designs and colorings. See on page 10 of
this issue the advertisement of Reune Martin & Sons, who
show the company's lines at the New York salesroom,

^be fortniobt.
HEN any popular dis-
turbance arises there
come notes of alarm,
as is always the case.
As a matter of fact
the season in up-
holstery goods
has shown very
good results.
Retailers all
over the coun-
try, with the in-
evitable excep-
tion of those
who have suffered by floods, &c., report a good trade. In
New York State, Buffalo, Rochester, Lockport, Jamestown
and cities of that class, dealers say that they are doing an
excellent business. It should be remembered, however,
that the spring is their golden season. There can be no
question that the trade for the last three months has been
fully up to the average.
"The United States Consul at Ghent writes that in reply
to 4,650 inquiries sent to the merchants of that vicin-
ity 19^ per cent, did not reply and 268 did not indicate
their commercial situation. Thus 25.57 per cent of the
bulletins were without value. Of the rest 2.o38, or 52.5(i
per cent., complained of overproduction.

A woman who found herself obliged to keep closed for
a year at least a pair of folding doors at the end of a long
parlor, confronted their hideous stretch of stained wood in
despair for two or three weeks. The makeshifts of jjor-
tieres and a cheap grille did not appeal to her at all.
Finally, a handy man was called in, canvas was stretched
over the frame filled by the doors, the brass knobs need-
ing removal to accomplish this neatly When this was
done the entire wall was repapered and the rooin became
much inore attractive in consequence. The same method
to cover a single doorway where the door must remain
closed, can be much easier carried out.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
SUGGESTION
FOR A
CURTAIN.
"A'
MONG all the varietieri of curtains that are manu
factured — tapestry, chenille, lace, muslin, velvet,
printed cotton, &c — very little in the way of innovation in
the arrangement of design has been adopted," says R. T.
Lord, the designer, in "Textile Industries and Journal of
Fabrics." "We have the regular body pattern, with a
border down each side and along the bottom ; then the
dado curtain comes more or less into use at various times,
and cross-border patterns are also among the styles usu-
ally offered in the trade. The ordinary body pattern, with
a border around the three sides, is at all times the most
popular style of curtain. The dado is at a great disadvan-
tage in these goods, from the fact that, being at the bot-
tom, it is often gathered up by a curtain tie, and, where
this is not the case, the position of the dado prevents what
is often the best portion of the design from showing to
advantage. It seems reasonable that the most ornamental
portion of any article should be in such a position that it
will attract the eye, and there is no doubt that this applies
as much to a curtain as to any other decorative object. A
frieze is a very effective method of ornamejntation adopted
by paper-hanging manufacturers, but this mode is never
employed upon a curtain, although its position renders it
highly suitable from a decorative point of view. We
should think that a good, bold piece of ornamentation
across the middle of a curtain would prove very effective,
as it would be in a position most noticeable. But any
curtain that goes out of the ordinary run entails extra
expense upon the manufacturer, and, unless the new idea
takes the market, much loss is the result. We have a
simple idea for the production of a curtain, which can be
utilized in three different ways, without incurring any
extra expen.se beyond the first cost of cutting the cards,
&c., for one curtain, and is shown in the cut presented
herewith.
•' Fig. 1 gives an example of a curtain design on the
■ dado principle. In Fig 2 we show the ornament, forming
the dado in the first figure, running across the centre of
the curtain. Fig. 3 has the ornamentation at the top in
the form of a frieze. Now, it is clear that any of these
can be made from the same cards without alteration in
any way, the only necessity being to weave as many repe-
titions of the body pattern as may be required in a cur-
tain, then change to the broad border pattern, and back
again to the body. Now, whether the pattern consists of
a dado curtain, or one with a broad border running across
the centre of the curtain, depends upon the position in
which the piece is cut up. Cut across the bottom of the
dado, this produces a dado pattern; cut across the top, it
gives a pattern with a frieze, or cut across the middle of
the body pattern, and the broad ornamental border will be
in the centre of the curtain."
FERGUSON BROTHERS' HANDY HOUSEHOLD BOXES.
ON page 9-4 of this issue Ferguson Brothers have some
interesting illustrations and reading matter relating
to their handy household boxes, which were referred to
recently in The Review. These boxes are sold in nests
of four. They are covered with handsome art cretonnes,
lined throughout and fitted with ornamental brass hinges
and handles. The many uses to which such boxes can be
put will readily suggest themselves to anyone, as is proved
by the great number of orders received for them.
Write to Ferguson Brothers for prices, «S:c. Their
salesroom is at 494 Broadway, and their factory and offices
are at 433 West Thirty-first street. New York.
Sofa pillows for some reason have taken on a very pro-
nounced touch of card playing. It may be the extraordi-
nary popularity of whist and progressive euchre that has
made these cushions blossom out suddenly in hands of
either, and even of poker and single cards, court and play-
ing, reproduced with admirable exactness over a solid
background. It is probable that such customs are in-
tended for young men's rooms, but there is no telling.
Since young women have taken to cigarettes, there is no
reason why cards, and perhaps poker chips, should not be
as much their insignia as that of their companions of the
other sex.

NOTTINGHAM CURTAINS AND NETS.
THE big assortment of Nottingham curtains and nets
shown by J. S. Lesser & Co. will interest the largest
buyers of these goods in prices and assortment.
Lesser & Co. might well be called manufacturers of the
goods, as they have first call on the product of an Ameri-
can factory, and have close connections with the Notting-
ham manufacturers.
They show 150 different patterns in novelty and fish
nets, and everyone of them in pei-fectly made and finished
goods. They do not aim to
sell the very cheapest
nets, but give the medium
grade goods at very
lowest prices. They can
interest all manufacturers of
ruffled and insertion cur-
tains in these nets.
Their range of Nottingham
curtains in full size vestibule and sash goods is also nota-
bly large, the styles being gotten up imder. the personal
direction of J. S. Lesser, who is an acknowledged expert
on Nottingham goods.
It will pay to inspect the above-mentioned lines, as well
as the firm's special drive in Swiss Brussels curtains, at
their salesrooms, 473 Broadway, New York.

The window shade factory of Geo. H. Hees, Son &
Co. on Davenport road, Toronto, Canada, was destroyed
by fire on the 1st inst. The stock made up for the spring
season was fortunately stored in their warehouse on King
street, therefore enabling them to fill orders without in-
terruption.
C. R. Culver, Yonkers, N. Y. , has opened a rug and
upholstery department under the charge of Mr. Roe,
formerly with W. M. Whitney & Co., Albany, N. Y.
John Fahy & Co., Rochester, N. Y., have taken one of
the stores vacated by Beadle & Mudge in North Main
street, and will next month move from their old stand in
State street.
T. G. Wooster & Co. have opened a furniture and up-
holstery establishment at Hornellsville, N. Y.
On the 10th inst. fire originated in the boiler room of
the Winsted (Conn.) Metalliform Company's factory, and
caused damage amounting to about $5,000. The fire was
confined principally to the first floor, which contained
much heavy machinery.
The Vermont Shade Roller Company, Burlington, Vt.,
has reduced its capital stock from 3,000 shares to 2,000
shares at $50 each, which brings it down from $150,000 to
$100,000.
The Chas. T. Leonard Company, manufacturing shades
and awnings at Minneapolis, has been incorporated with a
capital stock of $10,000.
Parker Brothers, upholsterers, is a new firm at Paris, 111.
A ROD FOR FRILLED CURTAINS.
HEREWITH we illustrate the new method referred to
in the April 1 Review for hanging frilled or ruffled
curtains. The double rod is made of half or three-fourths
inch brass tubing, and the rear rod is fastened on the
bracket about three-fourths of an inch behind the front
rod. The bracket is 4^ inches long with a screw thread
at end to fasten it to the window sash. The idea is to hang a
half pair curtain on each rod, as shown in the illustration
below. One curtain may be draped from the extreme
right of the rod and the
other from the extreme
left, or almost any style of
draping desired may
be effected in a graceful
manner. The double rod is
made with extension
tubes to enable extending it
to a desired length. It is
inexpensive and simple in its adjustment, therefore being
appropriate in this respect as well as in others for frilled
curtains.
W. J. M. Gates, of
Boston, Mass., who intro-
duced the rod, has arranged
to market it exclusively
through Cohen
Brothers & Co., 424
Broadway, New York, who
are also extensive
manufacturers of frilled
curtains.
Sample orders should be
sent in at once to
the latter firm to obtain
supplies for spring trade,
and electrotypes will be
furnished gratis.
Another use for the

frame.
DRAPING OF A FRILLED CURTAIN.
The Philadelphia Tapestry Mills, in addition to making
one of the largest lines of upholstery fabrics in this country,
have the courage of their convictions. The trade can feel
sure that the line of fabrics produced by them is always
up to standard, and that the greatest care is exercised that
the goods are thoroughly up to date.

WM. SurpsoN, Sons & Co., Philadelphia and New York,
manufacturers of the Gobelin art draperies, are
using a new patented recording tag which is a remarkably
good device. The tag is marked with little squares, each
of which represents 1 yard in the piece When the goods
are cut squares corresponding in number to the quantity
of yards cut off are torn from the tag, which then shows
at a glance how many yards are left in the piece. We
advise our readers to write to Simpson, Sons & Co. for a
sample of these tags and for further information regard-
ing their art draperies.
On the 9th inst. Justice J. O. Dykman, of the Supreme
Court in White Plains, N. Y., appointed Samuel B.
Smith, of Mount Vernon, a receiver of all the property
and assets of the firm of Robinson & Campbell, furniture
dealers and upholsterers, which belonged to the firm on
January IS, 1897, when a transfer and sale was attempted
to be made by Edward A. Robinson of his interest in the
firm property and assets to the defendant, William W.
Campbell, and also of all the property of Campbell when
a transfer and sale was attempted to be made by him to
Hattie A. Campbell. The firm is ordered to deliver to
the receiver all such property and assets as may be in
their possession. The judge decides the above-mentioned
sales or transfers as fraudulent and void.
The Jacquard Embroidery Machine Company, Limited,

In poker work, or pyrography on velvet and plush, the
design must be bold in its outlines, and the pile inside of
the pattern is singed off with the platinum needle. Care
should be taken not to hold the needle vertically, so as
not to burn the ground of the material. It should be heir"
more horizontally, but not too much, else the points of the
bordering fibres will be scorched. A little practice is
necessary before starting at a larger work. When the
above is done brush off the hairs and lay in the colors as
desired in the ground thus deepened. Bronze or gold
may also be employed for this purpose, and looks still
better.
THE UNIVERSAL CURTAIN POLE.
THE merits of the Universal curtain pole, made by the
Rome Brass and Copper Company, of Rome, N. Y.,
have been thoroughly proved with its extended use during
the past year by leading houses of the country. In testi-
mony of its adaptability and satisfactory working qualities
the Rome Company have received many letters in its praise,
among those testifying to its advantages being the Wm.
Hengerer Company, Buffalo, N. Y. ; Lucky, Piatt & Co.,
Poughkeepsie, N. Y. ; W. V. Snyder & Co., Newark, N. J. ;
W. M. Whitney & Co., Albany, N. Y. ; Chas H. Van Note
&Co., Boston; the Reeves-Veeder Company, Schenectady,

Conn. ; Callender, McAuslan & Troup Company, Provi-
dence, R I. ; Ewen Mclntyre & Co., New Haven, Conn ;
F. Loeser & Co , Brooklyn, N. Y , and many others. The
prices of the Rome Universal pole are 7^, 8 and 9 cents

iD Lowell lived to see the 14th
of March, 1898, he would per-
haps have changed in his
"Vision of Sir Latmfal " the
famotis line "What is so rare
as a day in Jtine? " On the
evening of that l^Iarch day I
was on the steamship Guyan-
dotte of the Old Dominion
line, gliding' smoothly down
toward Hampton Roads. Be-
low the sea was like glass;
above the sky was studded
with a million stars and all
arotmd the air was like that
of May.
As we sat down to dinner I asked Captain Davis: " Do
you remember what you were doing ten years ago
to-day ? "
" Not particularly. "
" Well, on the second Monday in March, 1888, yon were
picking your way up this same roadstead in the teeth of
the fiercest storm in the histoi^^ of New York — the famous
blizzard. "
All the same." remarked Chief Engineer Portlock.
' ' we berthed our boats during that week in good style.
How the passengers reached their homes those nights is a
matter of histor}-."
Among the passengers on this most beautiful of ilarch
nights in many 3-ears were several commercial travelers.
■■ I'm a little surprised," said one of them, whom I have
met frequently afloat and ashore for many years, but v.'ho
is now off the road, ' ' that more of the men who have to
make brief trips several times a year to Norfolk, Ports-
mouth, Washington, Richmond, &c., do not go down by
this line. One can leave New York in the afternoon, get
to Norfolk the next morning, have time — unless he has
somebod}' besides customers to visit there — ^to take a run
over to Portsmouth, and the next morning be at Rich-
mond' or Washington. I have long ago laid by the grip-
sack and the sample trunk, but if I were still a commercial
traveler I would travel no other way. In the summer
months a pleasant, cool sail down the coast beats the
stifling sleeping car out of sight. "

ROOMS IN A FAMOUS ENGLISH PALACE.
HE approach to Blen-
heim Palace, the
historic home of
the Duke and
Duchess of Marl-
borough, is
through Blenheim
Park, which has
an area of over
25 square miles.
It is entered through a
spacious Corinthian
portal erected by the
first Duchess in memory
of the impregnable Duke.
Two hundred feet away,
before the palace, is a
small series of connected
lakes, which in one place
is spanned by a high,
arched, stone bridge of
exquisite workmanship. Beyond this, and in the centre of
the lawn directly fronting the palace, is a Corinthian col-
umn rising 130 feet in air, surmounted by a statue of the
old Duke in Roman costume. At the base of the column,
on a tablet facing the palace, is a long inscription eulogiz-
ing the deeds of the Duke, written, it is said, by Lord
Bolingbroke. The other faces of the pedestal contain
legends recounting the acts of Parliament passed in his
honor, together with details of his estates and titles with
those of his descendants.
A flight of marble steps leads under the portico between
Corinthian columns, and above, in the pediment, are sculp-
tured the armorial bearings of the Marlboroughs. The
interior of the palace consists of vast, high studded cham-
bers, smaller in the wings, and entered from a series
of curiously connected halls. In the state rooms of the
main buildings the ceilings have been painted by Thorn-
hill, La Guerre and Hakewill, and sculptures, tapestry and
valuable paintings abound. The state reception room, a
picture of which accompanies this sketch, contains a pic-
torial story on tapestry of the battle of Blenheim, while
over the fireplace is a portrait of John Churchill. In this
room and in those adjoining it is one of the finest collec-
tions of tapestries in England, depicting the battles of
Wynendael, Dunnewert, Lisle and Malplaquet. The state
dining room, of which a picture is also presented, gives a
fine example of these mural tapestries. And here over
the fireplace is a full length portrait of Queen Anne, the
patron saint of the Marlboroughs.
The library is particularly rich in good paintings, some
of which are originals of the masters, others are copies;
among the latter are 120 Teniers, transcripts from Bellini,
Giogione, Mantegna, Correggio, Caracci, Titian, Tinto-
retto, Veronese, Giovane and others. Here, too, is a
statue of Queen Anne, by Rysbraeck, which cost what
would be more than $-25,000 in gold. The saloon and
duchess' sitting room contain a valuable collection of
enamels by Leonard Limousin, Piere Raymond, Courteys,
Laudin and others, comprising plaques, ewers, salt cellars
and dishes for every conceivable use. There are a dozen
miniatures of Mary Queen of Scots, and still others of
Marie de Medici, Gabrielle d'Estr^es, Arabella Stuart,
Gerard Honthorst, Cardinal Mazarin, Lord Lauderdale
and Dryden.
Another state room has over the fireplace the picture of
the' Duke's family group. In the same chamber is a huge
symbolic wall painting by Sir James Thornhill, represent-
ing the Duke, in a blue cuirass, kneeling before the figure
of Britannia, clad in white, holding a lance and a wreath.
Hercules and Mars, emblem-bearing females, and minor
symbolic figures go to make up the scene. It is reported
that Sir James received 25s. per square yard for this
painting.
In the drawing room is a portrait by Mark Gerards of
the conspicuous Frances Howard, Countess of Essex and
Somerset, who married that dolt Robert Carr. Here, too,
is a host of Reynolds' portraits of the celebrities of his day,
together with the famous portrait by Peter Paul Rubens
of his second wife, Helena Forman. And there are also
many stately dames from the brush of Vandyke, Kneller
and Lely.
Amoig the curiosities of the China gallery are a teapot
presented by the Duke of Richelieu to Louis XIV. ; two
bottles which belonged to Queen Anne, Oliver Cromwell's
teapot, Roman earthenware, and a piece brought from-
Athens.
Many of the literary and artistic treasures of the palace
date from the fifth Duke's era. He was one of the great-
est art collectors of his age, at the same time the most
prodigal gamester. And when the crash came and all
but the entailed property was captured by the bailiffs he
retired to a small bedroom in the right wing and there
passed his remaining years. This bedchamber has been
successively occupied by the later Dukes of Marlborough,
who could not maintain the vast establishment around
them.
But little by little the estate has been put to rights.
The eighth duke, through his American marriage, was
able to modernize the wings and set the grounds in order
at an expense of $30,000. His son, the present duke, who
married Consuelo, daughter of William K. Vanderbilt, of
New York, could doubtless have kept up the establishment
in a respectable manner, but with her millions he should
be able to place the house of his ancestors upon a footing
firm for all time. He is said to have expended already
nearly $2,000,000 in improving Blenheim Park and Palace.
Baronial tapestry is the name given to dark, rich ma-
terials for portiferes and curtains that are patterned in the
designs familiar in settings of old baronial halls. These
show conventionalized tigers rampant, fleur-de-lis and
other similar designs. They come in dark tones of green
and red, and are effective not only as hangings, but to
cover screen panels or for upholstering furniture.

A LUCKY BLUNDER.
DOOR SCREENS.
ONE day in the autumn of 1856 a man was in search of
a particular wool warehouse, situated in a certain
street in the city of London. He had forgotten the num-
ber, and, not being familiar with the exterior of the build-
ing in question, he was somewhat puzzled. However, he
"spotted "a likely looking place and entered; but, finding
it to be a silk warehouse, instead of the woolen emporium
he was looking for, he apologized and turned to leave.
At that instant his keen gaze lighted upon a pile of rub-
bish which strongly attracted his attention. He had never
seen anything like it before. He inquired what it was,
and was told that it was waste silk.
" What do you do with it ? " he asked.
" Sell it for rubbish," was the reply; "it is impossible
to do anything else with it. "
The visitor felt it, poked his nose into it and pulled it
about in a manner that astonished
the London warehouseman.
It was neither agreeable to the
feel, the smell nor the touch, but
was simply a mass of knotty,
dirty, impure stuff, full of broken
bits of stick, dried leaves, dead
silk worms and pierced cocoons.
Nevertheless, in the end an offer of
a halfpenny a pound was made
for the " rubbish," and promptly
accepted, the vender being nat-
urally delighted to get rid of it on
such advantageous terms.
Just an ordinary, everyday, com-
monplace blunder, such as we
have most of us made more than
once in our lives — the mistaking of
one place for another. But it was
a mistake that put ;£30,000,000
into the pockets of the man who committed it.
For the blunderer was he who became afterward
known to fame as Sir S. Cunliffe - Lister, merchant
prince and
mill owner ;
and from that
evil-smelling
agglomera-
tion of silk waste

SCHEMES FOR THE plUSh.
DOORWAY IN AN ENGLISH HOUSE
BY the expenditure of very little money, and no great
amount of trouble, the ordinary door of an apart-
ment may be made a distinctly important featui^e, from an
artistic as from a utilitarian point of view, and to give
some idea as to how this may be accomplished we present
three schemes of comparatively simple type, but which
might be carried out with the happiest results. The first,
in the lower right-hand corner of this page, is the simplest,
and consists of just a light framework of refined design,
filled in with a couple of leaded or traceried glass panels,
a painting or engraving, and a dainty silk curtain, running
on a brass rod. The continuation of the end post, with its
shallow bowl for flowers, and lamp above, is well con-
ceived. The chair is, of course, a separate article, capable
of being moved away as might be desirable.
In the second design, in the lower left-hand corner,
the draping is made a more impor-
tant feature. The portifere is
suspended from a stout, twisted
cord or "cable," and the curtain at
the side from the curved under
part of the shieldlike woodwork,
attached by means of small brass
hooks and eyes. The chair is of the
curule type, at once one of the
most sensible and graceful
handed down to us from ages
long gone by.
The third is from the billiard
room in the residence of Henry
Martin, at Huddersfield, England,
and the treatment of the door-
way was designed by Geo. Faulkner
Armitage. The comfort of an
arrangement of this kind, which,
with the curtains drawn, would, in
the keenest winter, prevent the opening and closing of
the door, minimizing the comfort of the room by the
constant admission of draughts of cold air, can hardly
be overestimated,
while its appearance
adds vastly to the
beauty of the
apartment.

The announcement that Arnold Staheli will handle the

that, while he is considering the matter, he has not yet

the Swiss products of Staheli, Rietmann & Co. He sails

Men are making preparations on the west side of Colum-
bus avenue, between Eightieth and Eighty-first streets, to
lay the foundations of a ten story apartment house on
three sides of a little one story building used as a shop by
A. R. Maxwell, an upholsterer. Soon, if conditions be
not changed by an armistice or compromise, the big build-
ing will begin to rise, inclosing the little shop in a tomb
of brick and mortar. Mr. Maxwell was asked to move
away, but his lease does not expire until next November,
and he demanded as a consideration for his removal a sum
larger than the builders of the apartment house were will-
ing to pay. The house will therefore be built around the
shop, and completed when the upholsterer's lease expires.
The business in King's Scotch hollands is a fair index of

VERDICT FOR CREIGHTON & BURCH.
THE COURT GIVES AN EXPLICIT DECISION IN FAVOR OF CREIGHTON & BURCH
IN CONNECTION V/ITH THE OLD SCRANTON LACE MANUFAC-
TURING COMPANY.
i T the March court term in
Scranton, Pa. , R. W.
Archbald, presiding
judge, rendered a
decision in the case
of Creighton &
Burch V. the Scran-
ton Lace Manufac-
turing Company in
favor of the former,
which confirms
the legality of their
judgment of $62,-
807.08 against the
former Scranton
Lace Manufacturing Com-
pany. The action grew
out of an application by R. A.
Blythe and Alexander Nelson, attach-
ment creditors of the old Scranton
9 Company, and Stephen Chappel, a
stockholder, who asked for an opening
of the judgment held by Creighton & Burch on the ground
that Mr. Creighton was a director of the insolvent cor-
poration.
The Scranton Lace Manufacturing Company was in-
corporated in May, 1891, with a stated capital of $260,000,
which was increased later to $350,000. Part of this capital
was machinery contributed by an English concern, the value
of which was fixed at $80,000. It is stated that owing to
the reduced tariff of 1893 on lace curtains the Scranton
Lace Manufacturing Company suffered adversity, and
was unable to obtain ready money to prosecute the busi-
ness. Creighton & Burch, of New York, were the selling
agents for the mill, and from time to time advanced money
to the Scranton Company upon consignments of goods
made to them. To secure them in these advances in
August, 1895, it was agreed that curtains in course of
manufacture and other property at the mill in Scranton
should be set aside to them in pledge, which course was
pursued for about a year, and large suras of money were
loaned by Creighton & Burch to the company on the
strength of this security. In July, 1896, Creighton &
Burch were advised by counsel that the goods so pledged
being left in the custody of the company could be seized
by any other creditor, and therefore afforded them no
security whatever. LTpon this fact being brought to the
attention of the directors of the Scranton Company a
resolution was passed July 27, 1896, authorizing a bond in
the sum of $75,000, with warrant of attorney to confess
judgment, to be given to the Lackawanna Trust and Safe
Deposit Company, trustee, as security for such sums as
might be owing to Creighton & Burch from time to time,
and upon its execution the goods then held in pledge were
released. It was upon this bond that Creighton & Burch
entered judgment, which judgment was contested by Mr.
Blythe as an illegal preference.
The court states in its decision that the pressing needs
63
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
of the company required that someone should favor it
with loans, and had the directors been compelled to look
to others less interested than Creighton & Burch it is
doubtful if they would have been able to obtain as ad-
vantageous terms as they did from the latter concern.
The court further states : "A preference there was, but it
was a perfectly legitimate one, of which no one — stock-
holder or creditor — had the right to complain." It ap-
pears that on this bond of $75,000 Creighton & Burch had
advanced sums which varied from amounts under $75,000
to as high as $135,000, according to the exigencies of the
Scranton Company. At the time judgment was confessed
the Scranton Company was indebted to them in the actual
amount of $02,807.08, and execution was directed to issue
for that amount.
Another case before the court was that of the attach-
ment of R. A. Blythe against the old Scranton Lace
Manufacturing Company. Mr. Blythe obtained a writ of
attachment for $11,161.52. The suit was instituted Feb-
ruary 11, 1897, the amount being due for yams and other
merchandise delivered by him to the Scranton Company.
It is stated that at the time the suit was instituted notes
representing part of the indebtedness had not matured,
nor had the term of credit upon the book accounts ex-
pired. On this ground alone the court states that Mr.
Blythe had no right to the action, because of the imma-
turity of the indebtedness. Continuing the court's decision
states :
" If the suit in its present condition goes on to a trial
the plaintiffs are bound to be non-suited, and that is suffi-
cient reason at this stage for relieving the defendants from
the attachment part of it.
" This does away with the necessity of considering the
merits of the proceedings as developed by the depositions,
although we are satisfied that a discussion of them would
lead to the same result. The plaintiffs have seized upon
a few circumstances, and by a specious argument seek to
give them the appearance of fraud. A consideration of
the whole case entirely dispels this, however, and leaves
the conduct of the officers of the company beyond ques-
tion. * * * Further than this it is incredible if the
directoi^s of the defunct company desired to defraud the
plaintiffs or any other of their creditors that they should
turn around, as they did, after the interest of everybody
had been wiped out by the sheriff's sale and offer to pay
50 per cent, in cash and 50 per cent, in stock of the con-
cern as reorganized. Fairer treatment than this toward
the creditors of a bankrupt concern is a very rare ex-
perience. The rule is made absolute, and the attachment
is dissolved. "
As will be seen by the above the action of Creighton &
Burch and the directors of the old Scranton Lace Manu-
facturing Company is not only confirmed as entirely legal,
but is evidently highly approved of in the estimation of
the court. The present Scranton Lace Curtain Company
was organized to acquire the plant and business of the old
Scranton Lace Manufacturing Company, and includes the
important stockholders of the old company with a few new
additions. The settlement of the indebtedness of the old
company on the basis of 50 per cent, in cash and 50 per
cent, in stock of the new concern was accepted, we under-
stand, by all creditors excepting Mr. Blythe, and since
commencing business under the reorganization the com-
pany has been highly successful. The machines have been
steadily occupied, and the product has been and is being

DINING ROOM IN AN ENGLISH HOUSE.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
J. A. FILER & CO.'S NEW QUARTERS.
""Hhis firm has leased from May 1 next, the uppei" loft
I (over 300 feet long) in the Arlington Building,
32, 24 and 26 East Fourteenth street, near Union square,
which will give it much more space than heretofore.
The house has been steadily increasing its trade, and the
present season's business has encouraged it to enlarge its
facilities, so as to handle the fall season's trade with even
more promptness, if possible, than in the past.
CAPTAIN POTTER HONORED.
THE Ohio State Journal, of Columbus, Ohio, in its issue
of the 8th inst. says: "The Columbus Republican
Glee Club assembled at the home of Capt. W. S. Potter,
at 70 North Twentieth street, last night, and presented
him with a handsome gold headed cane in honor of his
fiftieth birthday. Captain Potter is president of the club
and one of the most popular presidents the club has ever
had. The presentation was entirely a surprise."
Captain Potter is well known in the trade as a member of
the wholesale and manufacturing firm of Schroth & Potter,
window shades, curtains, portieres, &c., Columbus, Ohio.
EVERYBODY WANTS THEM.
COHEN Brothers & Co., Nos. 424 and 426 Broadway,
New York, are still very bnsy filling orders for the
popular bobbinet ruffled curtains, which have had such a
universal demand this season, and on which large dupli-
cates have already arrived, showing that the public are in
favor of this graceful window drapery.
Their line of novelty Nottingham curtains is something
different from the ordinary machine made article, and
buyers looking for style in this make should give them a
call. Their line of plain and fancy nets by the yard is
always kept well stocked. See their announcement on
page 93.
The James Caven Company, proprietors of the Saranac
Mills, have opened an office at 415 Broadway, corner Canal
street, New York, in charge of Herbert Gardner, where
their full lines may be seen. They also have an office at
147 Fifth avenue, Chicago, in charge of R. S. Brownlie.
Hunter & Whitcomb will increase their showroom space
at 874 Broadway May 1. They will then occupy almost
the entire seventh floor of the Mclntyre Building at that
address, and, besides obtaining more space, will have a
better light for displaying samples than in their old sales-
room on the fifth floor.
The Chicago office of W. E. Rosenthal, manufacturers'
agent, has been removed from 147 Fifth avenue to the
Monadnock Building, and the St. Louis office is now at
304 North Eighth street. W. E. Rosenthal is sole selling
agent for Hyndmann & Moore, the Philadelphia tapestry
and chenille manufacturers, and for the Matred Mills,
manufacturers of curtains and upholstery fabrics. He is
also sole Western selling agent for the Hensel Silk Manu-
facturing Company, the extensive producers of upholstery
and drapery trimmings, rope portiferes, &c. The home
office and headquarters remain at 458 Broadway, New
York, as heretofore.

No. 34,397. Weaving; Looms. — H. J. Homfray and W. H. Lorimer,
Sowerby Bridge, Yorkshire. November 3, 1896. Patent issued
March 33, 1898.
Weaving fabrics for making trimmings or chenille. The fabric is
woven with a num-
■ " bar of double sel-
vages, /, and inter-
vening portions, U,
which are cut along
the lines a a and
i d to form fringe
for rugs, mats, cur-
tains, &c. Chenille
may be made in a
similar manner.
The cutting of the fabric is effected by rotary disks mounted on the
breast beam and driven by suitable means.
No. 34,788. Etching, Printing, &-c.. Rollers or Dies.— H. Lyon,
Peter street, Manchester. November 5, 1896. Patent issued
March 33, 1898.
Relates to the preparation of etched designs on metal rollers for
use in printing or embossing calico, paper pulp, leather, velvet, or
other material, and also to the production of such designs on en-
graved cylindrical steel dies. A copy of the design is drawn or
otherwise produced on a sheet of transparent gelatine, or other
ilexible and transparent material ; the surface of the roller or die is
covered with a sensitized composition, and the flexible sheet is at-
tached to the coated surface and expased to the action of the light.
After sufficient exposure the transparent sheet is removed, and the
soluble parts of the sensitized coating are dissolved away. The
roller or die is heated, or ink or varnish is applied to the insoluble
parts of the coating, and resin, asphalt, or other suitable material, is
combined with the ink or varnish so as to obtain a hard resist. The
roller or die is finally etched and the resist afterward removed.
Charles G. Hutzler, of Hutzler Brothers, dry goods and
upholstery, Baltimore, was at Atlantic City during the
past week.
The furniture and upholstery firm of Launsbach &
Chapman, Lansingburgh, N. Y., has been dissolved,
Fred Launsbach retiring. C. H. Chapman continues the
business.

NEW WALL PAPER COMBINATION.
•7-?^ ALL paper manufacturers held
a meeting at the Manufac-
ttirers' Club, Philadelphia, on
the 6th inst. It is said that
the meeting was attended
by representatives of the con-
cerns that are operating in-
dependently of the National Wall Paper Company, and
that they desire to form a combination by which the
wall paper interests of the United States will be pooled.
It is understood that this combination was first suggested
by the National Wall Paper Company to the companies
that are not allied with it. Since the National Wall Paper
Company was formed about six years ago eighteen or
twenty smaller concerns have sprung up, and profits all
around have become smaller in consequence of the in-
creased competition.
In order to improve this state of affairs a proposition is
under consideration that all concerned pool their profits.
It is said that if this combination is made it will yield about
$6,000,000 profit next year, 55 per cent, of which will go
to the national organization, and the remaining 45 per
cent, to the outsiders, who have formed what they call a
"club."
The Corry (Pa.) Upholstering Company, owned by
Lambing & Carey, was burned out on April 7. Loss,
$7,000; partially insured.
The new Velvet Ruff cord portiere made by the Hensel
Silk Manufacturing Company is selling freely, and indica-
tions point to a big run on the goods this season. Every
dealer should have some of them in stock.
T. I. Birkin & Co. now have the machinery in their new
factory at Chester, Pa., in operation and will be soon en-
joying the advantages of their increased production of lace
curtains and nets.
B. L. Solomon's Sons have found that their new loca-
tion, Seventeenth street and Fifth avenue, is satisfactory
beyond their highest anticipations. They have every
convenience for displaying goods and the location is
convenient for visiting as well as local buyers.
WALL PAPER NOTES.
..W. W. Strayer, Troy, Ohio, is succeeded by Silas
Roney.
..George H. ' Kermode is a new dealer in wallpaper
and picture frames at Cleveland, Ohio.
. . The wall paper establishment of Frank Whitehill at
Bellefontaine, Ohio, was heavily damaged by fire on April
2. Loss, $1,500.
. .George Hippie, dealer in wall paper at Malvern, Pa ,
has recently recovered from a severe attack of grip and
measles of several weeks' duration.
. .The stock of the Wilson & Webb Stationery Com-
pany at Little Rock, Ark. , was slightly damaged recently
by fire. The loss is covered by insurance.
. . A fire broke out in the factory of the Tarrytown
(N. Y.) Wall Paper Company on March 30, but was
extinguished without the aid of the fire department.
. . Loren Allen, vice-president of the Standard Wall
Paper Company, Sandy Hill, N. Y., had his pocket picked
of $38 while in the rotunda of the Capitol at Washington
on the 6th inst.
..H. V. Lewis & Co., wholesale and retail dealers in

street to 36 Cornhill, express themselves as much pleased
with their new location, where their business is rapidly on
the increase.
. .L. Denison & Co., dealers in wall paper and picture
frames, Marion, Ohio, are succeeded by Justice & Strayer,
and Charles W. Rogers, dealer in wall paper, drugs, &c. ,
Ypsilanti, Mich., is succeeded by Charles W. Rogers &
Co., while Steen Brothers, Muscatine, la., have dissolved
partnership, and J. F. Larimer, Leavenworth, Kan., has
sold out.
. . Ficken Brothers, dealers in painters' supplies and
wall paper at 1134 Third avenue. New York, have given
a bill of sale of their entire plant to various creditors.
Myers, Goldsmith & Bronner, attorneys for Ficken Broth-
ers, said that the trouble was due to heavy expenses and
big losses on wall paper which they were not able to sell
at fair prices on account of cut in prices by others. They
have been in business for fifteen years, will call a meeting
of creditors shortly, and endeavor to amicably adjust mat-
ters by a compromise. The liabilities are $60,000; assets
probably $40,000.

A JUDICIOUS INVESTMENT.
The Best Economy in your Carpet Room
can only be secured by using the most perfect appliances, of the simplest
design and the best construction.
Experience Has Proven the Fact
that the SINGER AUTOMATIC POWER CARPET SEWER will save its
cost in one year to any carpet dealer having enough business to require a hand
machine. THE SINGER AUTOHATIC is now in use by dealers who saved
its cost during the first six months of its operation.
A TRIUMPH OF MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY, SURPASSING ALL OTHER DEVICES FOR ITS PURPOSE.
Truly automatic, requires less labor and sews 40 per cent.
more carpet than any other machine on the market.
Requires least floor space, and uses any form of power.
Makes perfect stitch and seam, sewing any kind of carpet.
Automatic Matching and
Clamping Device.*******'*'
This device is absolutely unique, and secures perfect stretching
and matching, without necessity for expert labor. It is simpler,
swifter and in every way more effective than any other way of
handling a carpet. The sewing machine works automatically on
its track, following the operator from section to section as fast as
each is matched and clamped, the action of the clamping levers
automatically governing the movement of the sewing machine,
thus saving a great deal of time
This is not a Hand Machine Crudely Adapted to Power Operation,
Our Hand Machine is well known, and is still on the market, fully guaranteed to be the best
and most practical in use.

Wholesale and Commission Carpets,
<^BOSTON, MASS.^
We offer to the Trade our usual standard lines of Carpetings for the Spring of '98.
As we were large purchasers of merchandise before the recent sharp advances, we are in
position to quote, in all cases, the lowest market price, and in some cases offer inducements
that mills and commission houses will not meet.
Our private patterns, especially in Wiltons and Brussels, are not surpassed either in
variety of design or novelty in coloring.
If we, with our private patterns and colorings, have been able to secure some of the
largest contracts given in this country, would it not PAY YOU to have our patterns represented
in your stock.

MODERN UPHOLSTERIES.
It is evident that buyers are becoming more convinced every season that It
does not pay to purchase foreign made Upholstery and Drapery Fabrics
when they can buy American made goods of equal quality and superior
styles at considerably less money, That our productions for the
SPRING OF 1898
will substantiate the correctness of this assertion
we leave to the judgment of the Trade and invite the most careful
comparison between them and imported fabrics.

special sizes and thicknesses, and are prepared

The cut shows tread in position, with metal
nosing on edge of step. This protects both
step and rubber and gives a neat finish, espe-
cially if brass nosings are used. We supply
these last, and also galvanized iron nosings.
Cut treads furnished to order in all sizes and

°Our readers are urged to remember that we are
always desirous to receive communications of interest to
the carpet or upholstery trades, such as changes in firms
or managers, the building or opening of new stores,
improvements in old ones, the adding of new departments,
improved methods of doing business, new inventions, sug-
gestions as to the cutting, making and laying of carpets,
the designing and fitting of draperies, or inquiries and
dissertations relating to the technical or commercial details
of the trades to which this periodical is devoted.
THE TRADE OUTLOOK.
' l~HE coming auction sale of Smith carpeting is naturally
' the chief subject of discussion in the trade at present.
Judging from the results of previous sales, it seems prob-
able that the goods offered will be disposed of readily at
satisfactory prices. The war is, of course, a new factor
which tends to complicate the situation, but apparently
the general impression in the trade is that the war will
not be a long one, and that its termination is certain to
cause a great revival in business. If, on the other hand,
hostilities are prolonged beyond present expectations, it is
equally certain that the cost of carpeting will be largely
increased, and that goods bought at the figures now ruling
will be an excellent investment. • It is true that a pro-
longed war will reduce the demand for carpeting, but the
injury to business, although serious enough, will be small
indeed in comparison with the effect of the civil war, in
which the nation was engaged in a struggle for its very
existence.
Retail business is uneven, ranging from marked activity
in some parts of the country to a condition not more than
fairly satisfactory in others.
Most manufacturers have their new lines ready for the
fall trade, and expect that the biisiness of the coming
season will begin quite as early as usual.
BOGUS BARGAIN SALES.
rouR men were tried recently at Staffordshire, England,
on a charge of defrauding " divers persons" by bogus
bargain sales. In the course of his address the prosecutor
read to the jury a handbill issued by the prisoners, which
stated that a great salvage sale was proceeding subsequent
to the alleged wreck of the Sea King, bound from Liver-
pool to New York with a general cargo. The attention of
the public was directed in this to the ^^30,000 worth of
goods saved from the wreck, from which they could choose
great bargains. Further announcements dealt with sales
of supposed bankrupt stocks of dealers in Manchester,
whose existence and addresses were, it was alleged by the
prosecution, non-existent. The story of the supposed
fraud was that the four prisoners acted in concert, and
were engaged jointly in what is known as the ''pack"

named in the indictment to buy goods. The prisoners
were found guilty and were sentenced to terms in jail

It is unfortunate that a dose of the same kind of medi-

bogus auction sales of Oriental rugs' in New York city
and other parts of the United States.
TRADE COMMISSION FOR CHINA.
THE officers of the Philadelphia Museum have arranged
to send a commission to China. It will go at the
suggestion and invitation of the Chinese Government
officials, who are desirous of closer trade relations with the
United States.
The commission is made up of three members. It w'ill
sail from San Francisco on May 1!), will remain in China
from ten months to a year, making the most careful and
thorough investigations of all commei-cial matters in the
great distributing centres of the empire. The members
will be given an opportunity of traveling through the
interior portions of Cliina, and will be able to make investi-
gations of the possibilities and future developments of the
empire, enabling them to have complete reports to lay
before the American business men and to give accurate
information in relation to the country.

GREAT AUCTION SALE OF SMITH CARPETING.
WiS: J. Si.oANi'. have notified the trade by circular that
. they will sell by auction May 3 and following days,
at Nos. 37 to 41 East Eighteenth street, this city, about
15,000 pieces of Smith Tapestry, 14,000 pieces of Axmins-
ter, 6,000 pieces of Moquette, 6,000 pieces of Velvet, 1,500
pieces of Savonnerie and 600 pieces of Ne Plus Ultra car-
peting; 5,000 bales of Moquette rugs and iiOO bales of Ne
Plus Ultra rugs.
Wilmerding, Morris & Mitchell will act as auctioneers
for the occasion. The goods will be on view in the ware-
rooms of W. & J. Sloane until the '2d inst. , when they will
be placed in the auction room. The attention of the trade
is called particularly to the fact that the sale will take
place in the building on Eighteenth street, adjoining the
premises of W. & J. Sloane, and not in the downtown
auction rooms of Wilmerding, Morris & Mitchell. For
full details regarding the offerings see the colored insert
in this issue. Past experience in these sales has shown
that the goods are readily absorbed, the trade being prompt
to take advantage of such opportunities.
In speaking of the sale Mr. W. W. Law, of W. & J.
Sloane said : " We deprecate the idea of disposing" of goods
by auction, but we feel compelled to take this step by the
exceptional trade conditions, resulting from the war and
other circumstances. The sale will give the trade the
opportunity to fix their own prices, as the goods will be
sold without reserve. Notwithstanding the war cloud, we
have unbounded faith in the condition of the country at
large, and no fear whatever of any serious setback to the
carpet trade or general business."

The quarterly interest on the preferred stock of the H.
B. Claflin Company is to be paid May 2.
Gabriel Fried, dealer in carpets and furniture and auc-
tioneer, has removed from 325 to 1315 Third avenue.
M. B. Evens & Co., carpet and furniture dealers, 379
Grand street, Brooklyn, have notified members of the
National Guard and volunteers w^ho have purchased goods
on the instalment plan that they will wait for their money,
and in case of death make their families a present of the
goods.
Loeser & Co. and Abraham & Straus, of Brooklyn,
have announced that members of the State militia in their
employ, who serve with their respective regiments, will
be paid their full salaries while in the army, and will be
reinstated in their positions on their return. Hahn &
Co., of Newark, N. J., have notified their employees to
the same effect.
A movement has been started to raise a regiment of
volunteers among the employees connected with the retail
carpet and furniture houses of the city. A volunteer com-
mittee has been formed to take charge of the movement
and it is expected that the plan will prove so successful
that the regiment will be raLsed before long Many of the
employees of Cowperthwait & Co., of Park row, have
already volunteered to join the organization.
Sheppard Knapp & Co., of Sixth avenue, have caught
the war enthusiasm and have on exhibition in one of their
handsomely dressed windows a beautiful oil painting en-
titled "Jack's Return." The scene represents the home-
coming of a sailor after the war is over, and he appears at
the end of the village lane greeted by his wife and little
ones, while the old and feeble grandmother sits beside her
spinning wheel at the door of the cottage anxiously wait-
ing for him to reach her that she may extend her welcome
also.
Francis H. Loss, dealer in housefurnishing goods at
No. 33 Murray street, made an assignment without pref-
erence to Augustus W. Weissman. Mr. Loss has been
in business since 1873. Louis F. Doyle, the attorney, said
that prior to the panic of 1893 Mr. Loss did a prosperous
business, but since that time business has fallen off, owing
to the large department stores gradually absorbing the re-
tail business which formerly yielded him a good profit,
and also to changes in the tariff laws, which cut off another
profitable source of revenue. Mr. Loss was considerably
indebted to the trade in J 893, but since then has paid off
almost his entire indebtedness, using up his own capital
and money borrowed from relatives. He has not secured
confidential indebtedness, and his business liabilities are
only about $3,000, with about $2,000 for rent. His assets
will probably realize $1,200 to $1,500.
Blake Brothers, 110 Worth street, have their new fall
hne of Henry Holmes' Ingrain carpets and Art Squares

vStates and Spain.
A certificate has been filed with the Secretary of State
setting forth that the Manufacturers' Association of Kings
and Queens Counties has changed its corporate name to

nual meeting of the association was held on April 18,

ample time for fall orders, and later on will announce the
location of a New York headquarters,' which will be estab-
lished for the convenience of visiting buyers during July

VICTORIA EXTRA SUPERS.
THOMAS Develon's Sons, Victoria Mills, Hancock street
and Lehigh avenue, Philadelphia, have their new
samples out for the coming season, and as usual have
superior attractions in designs, color tints and quality.
A glance at their Victoria Extra Supers shows that the
hand of the designer has not lost its cunning nor the
shader his talent in the grouping of color tints. They are
exceedingly attractive and will find a ready sale. The
same may be said of all the grades of goods produced at
the Victoria Mills.
. . . .Chas. E. Home, of Robt. Beattie & Sons, was here
recently.
....Stone & M off ett succeed Robert Ferguson, dealer
in carpets and furniture at Sixteenth and Federal streets.
. . . .Wm. Henderson has his fall styles out, and will soon
exhibit them to the trade. His " Columbia Brussels" far
excel any former productions in that line. His looms are
now running on duplicate orders, which are coming in
rapidly.
....Henry Rath, Jr., has just finished an exceedingly
prosperous season, with the exception that his looms are
still running on duplicate orders, that have come in since
the season practically closed. His new designs and colors
for the fall trade will be out next month.
. . . .The E. S. Higgins Carpet Company have removed
from their quarters at 604 Bourse Building to the large
and commodious room No. G06, same building. The
company have fitted it up in an elegant and very con-
venient style. Robert M. Neall will be in charge of the
olfice.
. . . .Lawrence Collins, Ingrain manufacturer, is now firmly
established in his new quarters, but has been obliged to
put in new machinery in order to run his plant to its full
capacity. His new offerings are decidedly rich in color
tints, and elegant in design. They will be sure to please
the trade.
....John & James Dobson are well sold ahead on all
their productions, and are having considerable difficulty
in filling their orders promptly. They report the largest
output they have had for many years. Their cut order
department is also pushed to the extremity of their capac-
ity and orders are still flowing in.
.... Swire & Scott have changed their office in the
Bourse Building from 682 to 604, where they will here-
after have on exhibition their line of extra Ingrain carpets
and Art Squares They have also a very fine showroom
connected with their mills, where Mr. Scott will be pleased
to show their fine lines to all who call on him.
. . . .Joseph M. Adams, the well-known yarn man, and
member of the Select Council of Philadelphia, was enter-
tained at a banquet a few evenings ago, given by his con-
stituency and his many friends residing in his ward. The
occasion was a very enjoyable one. Mr. Adams is widely
known among the Ingrain carpet manufacturers of
Kensington.
A large delegation of Philadelphia manufacturers
visited the Commercial Museum a few days ago for the
purpose of looking into its methods of introducing Ameri-
can productions into foreign markets, and to see also the
innumerable samples of foreign wares on exhibition,
showing the kinds of goods that are now being sold to
the South American trade more especially. The carpet
industry was represented by Robert Dornan, of Dornan
Brothers.
... .On April 14 Deputy Register of Wills Irwin granted
the petition of Michael Mullen, a carpet dealer, claiming
4-0 be a creditor of the estate of Peter Treacy, deceased,
formerly residing at 4855 Lancaster avenue, for letters of
administration on his estate, in order to decrease a claim
for debt. A citation was first served on the widow, Mary
H. Treacy, to show cause why letters of administration
should not be taken out by herself. Her answer was that
there was no estate. Treacy died in November last.
. . . .Thomas Caves & Son report a very flourishing con-
dition of affairs in their two plants, all the looms being in
full operation. Their new styles are out, and a handsomer
show of designs and color tinting would be hard to find.
The Velvets especially will be admired by all lovers of art
in textile goods.
.... Schofield, Mason & Co. are hard at work getting out
their new samples of Wilton and Brussels carpets for the
coming season. They are taking special pains with them,
the result of which will be the finest offerings they have
ever put forth for the consideration of the first-class
trade of the country.
.... Henry Holmes & Sons' Sherman Mills have been
invaded by the grip. Arthur Holmes is just recovering
from an attack of the disease, while the engineer, one
of the warpers and the shipping clerk are all down with
it. The senior partner is, however, in first-class condition,
the mills are running to the fullest capacity, and goods
sold are promptly delivered.
....Ellis A. Gimble, of Gimble Brothers, stated that
his firm would see that ample provisions would be made
for those enlisting in the United States service, if troops
were needed and called for. " No members of the National
Guard in our employ," said Mr. Gimble, " need have any
fear that the firm will forget them. Their places will
be kept, subject to re-employment upon their return.
When the time comes we will also stand by them in other
ways, and do our part to provide for maintaining the honor
of the country in proportion as the circumstances then ex-
isting may require. "

War as follows ;
To the Honorable the Secretary of War:
Though opposed to war unless honorably unavoidable, in the
event of its coming I will, under your instructions, raise a regiment
of Pennsylvauians for military duty and go with them for service.

manager's office and the other for the timekeeper's desk,
as follows :
Notice. — In order that our men may have easy minds in consider-
ing and arranging their affairs in the event of being called upon for
military service, this notice is posted to say: First — That all the
positions thus vacated will be open to return to when the military
service is over.
Second — That all salaries will continue in full in such absence for
actual service, and be paid to the authorized representative of their
respective families.
Third — An insurance to the amount of $1,000 will be paid by the
firm in the case of each death while any of our people are actually
engaged in military service.
BOSTON BUDGET.
Among the carpet men who may be called on to go to
fight the Spanards is Harry Richmond, S. Sanford & Sons'
„ representative here, who belongs to the
crack Boston military organization, the
April 25. L^j^^gj.g jyj^ Nichols, of W. W. Corson
& Co., has his name on the list also, as he is a member
of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company,
I. W. Chick, of John H. Pray, Sons & Co., is home
from his Southern trip.
Frothingham & Heffernan have the contract to furnish
carpets for the large new Sweetwater Hotel at Bedford
Springs.
Patriots' Day, the anniversary of the Lexington fight
(April 19), which is a holiday in this State, was celebrated
by D. B. Sears (of John H. Pray, Sons & Co.) and friends
in a hunting trip to Marshfield. There are now fewer live
ducks.
A fine show of rugs, &c., is made by Arthur Williams,
Jr., & Co., at 42, 44 and 46 Franklin street, importers of
East India, China and Turkish goods. They were for-
merly at 81 Franklin street, but now have much better
quarters, nearer Washington street.
The Bigelow Decorative Company is a new concern that
has established itself in the fashionable quarter of Boston,
at 39 Newbury street, on the Back Bay. It will deal in
carpets, rugs, mattings, wall hangings, antique and
modern furniture, &c. The firm is composed of Stephen
Lewis Hart, heretofore with Powers, on Boylston street,
and Charles B. Bigelow, Jr.
W. H. Hervey & Co. have enlarged the scope of their
instalment business, so that they will now sell a house
completely furnished and receive payments in monthly
instalments. In England there are several firms that
combine a real estate and housefurnishing business by
selling or renting houses and furnishing them throughout,
but although doubtless long credit plays a prominent part
in some or most of such transactions, Hervey & Co. are
probably the first to conduct such business on the ordinary
instalment basis. F. J. B.

J. A. Chandler succeeds Oakes & Chandler, carpets and
furniture, Bangor, Me.
Lyman & Co , carpet and furniture dealers, Holyoke,
Mass., are going out of business.
Articles incorporating the Royal Carpet Lining Com-
pany, Providence, R. I., have been filed with the Secre-
tary of State by William A. Mauran, Suchet Mauran and
William A. Mauran, Jr. The capital stock is $75,000.
R. B. Ctirrin & Co. have opened a carpet and furniture
store at 365 Weybosset street. Providence.
The Model Household Supply Company is a new instal-
ment goods concern at Bridgeport, Conn. Ezra L. Wise
is the proprietor.
Hundreds of people attended the opening of G. H.
Oakes & Co. 's new carpet and furniture store at Bangor,
Me., on April 11, and were greatly pleased with the
transformation from the dingy and dusty old quarters
to the present bright and shining interior. The stock
corresponds with the improvements. Everything is
new and attractive and Mr. Oakes is to be congratulated
on the fine quarters and stock and an auspicious opening.
The store was decorated for the occasion by a florist, and
the ladies who attended were presented with a bouton-
niere as a souvenir.
NOTABLE PRODUCT OF INGRAINS,
ART SQUARES AND RUGS.
THE Bromley Brothers Carpet Company have all their
lines out for the fall season, and they will soon be
before the trade. Some striking designs and new depart-
ures in colorings will be noticed in the line of Extra
Supers, C. C.'s and other grades, which will show that
designers and shaders have evolved new creations.
Prominent in the new offerings will be the show of Art
Squares. This particular brancii of the business is becom-
ing more and more important as the years go by. All the
broad looms of the Messrs. Bromley have been in operation
since October last and are still running full. Their line
for the coming season is especially strong in style and
general excellence, and will meet the approbation of the
trade everywhere.
The Pro- Brussels carpets, which became a new feature
with the Bromley Brothers a few months ago, are in great
demand. The fact is they have struck a tidal wave of
popularity, and three more looms are to be added to those
originally placed in position in order to fill orders promptly.
The new line of these goods is exceedingly fine and
attractive.
The output of Smyrna rugs will be large and very
noticeable. The firm have secured a new designer, skilled
in the production of Oriental effiects, and henceforth their
offerings will be largely of that peculiar style. This is
doing the right thing at the right time, as the demand for
Indian, Persian and Turkish effects is on the increase. In
this connection it is interesting to mention that the firm a
few weeks ago introduced to the trade a representation of
the battleship Maine in a rug,60x30 inches in size, and 1,600
were sold in three weeks.
C. W. Marshall retired from the force of Alex. Crow,
Jr., and will represent Thos. L. Leedom & Co. in South-
ern Illinois, Missouri and Kansas.
J. & J. Dobson's office in Chicago has been closed, and
A. L. Carpenter, who was in charge there, has transferred
his headquarters to the firm's New York store.

®bituar\>.
Charles Wyman.
Every representative of the carpet trade who visits the
West knew Charlie Wyman, of Burlington. He was the
eldest son of J. H. Wyman, the original founder of the
house of Wyman & Rand, whose large mercantile interests
in Burlington, Keokuk and Ottumwa, la., are well known.
The news of his death on the 31st ult. , at his home in
Burlington, will cause most sincere regret. For eighteen
years he was the office man of the large establishiiient at
Burlington, and for the past seven years a member of the
firm. He was thirty-eight years of age and leaves a
widow and daughter He was a man of .the highest and
best ideas of business integrity, and was imiversally loved
and esteemed for his many good qualities of heart and
mind. In his early and untimely death business and
social circles of Burlington have lost one of their best and
most progressive citizens and the kindest and most gen-
erous of men. One of the leading papers of Burlington
said on the afternoon of his death :
" No similar announcement was ever made in Bui^ling-
ton that will create such universal regret as the news that
Charlie Wyman is dead. No man nor boy was ever
better loved or more generally esteemed by all classes of
Burlington people than he. Hardly in the prime of life,
with a bright future before him, it seems a calamity that
is almost impossible to understand and unusually hard to
bear.
"For several months past he had been afflicted with a
complication of catarrhal and lung troubles, and while his
condition had been critical for many months, it was the
belief and hope of earnest friends and his family that
he would eventually master the disease that threatened
his life. The best medical skill and the most careful
nursing and the kindest and gentlest attention were
used toward warding off the fatal end, but it availed
nothing, and this afternoon he quietly and peacefully
passed away."
James H. Peters.
Brief mention was made in our issue of April 15 of the
death of James H. Peters, of Red Bank, N J., which
occurred on April 13. The character of the man and his
position in the community merit more than the passing
notice then given. His death resulted from a malignant
tumor with which he had suffered for two years. From
the time that he was first attacked he realized that it would
result fatally. He watched the progress of the disease
with interest, but with wonderful courage and fortitude.
He read all the medical books on the subject, and in the
early stages of the disease he would frequently spend
whole days in New York medical libraries discussing the
phases of the disease and reading books on the subject.
Notwithstanding that he knew he could live but a short
time, he went about his daily work without any sign of
fear or vexation. He got his business matters in such
shape that it would be easy for the executor of his estate
to close up his affairs
During the two months before his death the disease
progressed rapidly. The tumor spread, and his shoulder
and back became affected. For two weeks he had been
delirious at times, and during his last days he had but few
rational moments.
The business, which was the largest in Monmouth
County, was started in 1844 by the grandfather, James H.
Peters, who was succeeded by his son of the same name,
who in turn left it to the last of the name.
He was a man of broad and liberal education, part of
which was received at universities abroad, a student of
art and literature, and had a fine library containing several
thousand volumes, including many scieniific works in
French and German, both of which languages he spoke
fluently. He was also a fine judge of pictures, and pos-
sessed some good examples of the various schools of
painting.
The funeral services were held on April 15. All the
business places in the town were closed from 3 to 4 in the
afternoon, and the Presbyterian Church was crowded
with sympathetic citizens.
John L. Houston.
John L. Houston, ex-president of the Hartford Carpet
Company, died at his home in Thompsonville, Conn., on
the 15th, of apoplexy. He had been in bad health for the
past three years. About two years ago he went to Europe
for the benefit of his health and remained there several
months, but the trip gave him little relief, and in January
last, soon after his return, he was obliged to resign his
position as president of the company whose interests he
had so ably and faithfully served for more than forty years.
Mr. Houston was born in Thompsonville, Conn.,
June i5, 1833. His father, John Houston, a dyer, came
to this country from Kilmarnock, Scotland, having been
engaged for the dyeing department of the mill of the
Thompsonville Carpet Company. At the age of four-
teen years John L. Houston entered the employ of
the company as clerk. In 1852 the corporation failed and
35

for a short time young Iloiiston taught school. He then
began to study law, but soon dropped his law books to
take a position in a carpet factory at Norwich, owned by
Governor Buckingham. The Hartford Carpet Company
was organized in 1854 and Mr. Houston was engaged as
assistant superintendent of its mill. The energy and
ability shown by him intlie discharge of his duties resulted
in his appointment as superintendent, a position held by
him for twenty- four years. In 1S7S George Roberts, presi-
dent of the company, died and Mr. Houston was elected as
his successor. When in January last Mr. Houston re-
signed this position he was succeeded by George Roberts,
the present president of the company, and a son of Mr,
Houston's predecessor in the office.
Mr, Houston was a man of strong intellect and varied
talents, which were not confined to his own particular line
of ti'ade. Although his educational opportunities were
limited in early life, his leisure hours were so carefully
improved that he could fitly be called not only a well read
man but an accomplished one. His ability in recitations
from the poets was well known, and in his selections from
Burns his rendering of the Scottish dialect was especially
clever. He was an excellent speaker, easy and fluent or
forcible and incisive as the occasion required. His talent
as an orator would have enabled him to attain a con
spicuous position in public life if his ambition had led him
that way, but, although he served several terms as a mem-
ber of the State Legislature, he could never be induced to
accept a nomination for Congress or any other political
honoi"s.
In the carpet trade he was an especially conspicuous
factor. His familiarity with its technical details as well
as its business side, his ready grasp of facts and figures
and ability for concise yet comprehensive argument, ren-
dered him an invaluable leader in the conferences and
controvereies at Washington in relation to tariff legisla-
tion concerning the carpet trade. He was a member of
the National Association of Carpet Manufacturers, and his
inability to be present at the conferences in Washington
which preceded the passage of the Dingley tariff bill was
a matter of great regret in the trade.
Althovigh averse to prominence in political affairs Mr,
Houston was very public spirited, and gave his services
freely to institutions of a financial, local or philanthropic
nature. He was a director in the National Fire Insurance
Company, of Hartfoixl; the Holyoke Water Company,
the Thompsonville Trust Company, the Thompsonville
and Suffield Bridge Company, and was for many years
president of the boanl of trustees of the State reform
school at Meriden, Conn.
Mr. Houston leaves a widow, two sons and two daugh-
ters. Col. James B. Houston, the older son, is assistant
superintendent of the Hartford Carpet Company's mills,
.\t a meeting of the directors of the Hartford Carpet
Company, held at Thompsonville, Conn., April 18, 1898,
immediately after the funeral of the Hon John L. Hoiis-
ton, resolutions were adopted as follows :
The directoi-s of the Hartford Carpet Company desire to put on
record their deep sense of loss in the death of their fellow director
and late president, John L. Houston, on the loth inst.
Mr, Houston at an early age entered the employ of the Thompson-
ville Carpet Company, and this conn'any. its successor, has had the
benefit of his services during the whole of its e.'iistence thus far.
During this long period of forty-four years, in all his various re-
lations, Mr, Houston has served this company with ability and
fidelity, Mr, Houston was elected president in 1878, at a time when
the conditions of the carpet business were beginning to change. It
is not too much to say that these conditions required great ability
and brought great care and responsibility, which he bore patiently
and manfully.
The latter part of Mr. Houston's life was clouded with personal
bereavement and failing health.
We wish to express our deep sympathy with Mr, Houston's family
iu their affliction.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family
of the deceased. Attest, Gkoruk B. Nkwton. Secretary,

EVOLUTION OF THE CARPET
SWEEPER.
5- URiNG this modern age of improved
methods and labor saving machinery
the household has come in for a fair
share of the attention of in-
ventors and geniuses. We have
improved washing machines,
machines for washing the dishes,
patent churns, baby carriages,
egg beaters, pumps that almost
run themselves, and number-
less other devices that
relieve the busy and
often overworked
housewife and
mother of at least a
share of her burdens,
if not of her respon-
sibilities. Even the
broom has been supplanted, and instead of a back break-
ing operation, sweeping the carpets has become almost a
■ luxury with the mod,ern carpet sweeper.
The carpet sweeper — everybody knows what is meant
by the term — is a combination of wheels, brushes, rub-
ber bands and springs inclosed in a neat- wooden box,
which is propelled like a lawn mower by means of a
handle. It is found in nearly every household, and is
appreciated alike in the city and on the farm. According
to a painstaking writer in the Michigan Tradesman, who
has looked up the history of the machine, it is a Yankee
idea, like many another modern invention, and was first
brought out in Boston by a man named Herrick about
1858. The first sweeper was a crude affair, and if any of
the original sweepers are still to be found, they would
doubtless be looked upon as curiosities, as are the original
solid tire, 50 pound, solid metal first make safety bicycles,
compared with the up-to-date chainless. It was a germ
rather than a finished product, and the foundation for
future improvements rather than an article that could be
recommended as having all the merits claimed for it as a
labor saver. The original carpet sweeper industry, in
spite of the crudity of the product, prospered until the
war, and then, with more momentous questions before
the public than how to save work in the household, it
dwindled away and peacefully died.
In the early seventies interest in the carpet sweeper re-
vived and factories were started in various parts of the
country, and inventors began studying how the original
idea could be improved upon. The seat of the industry
in its revival was still in the East, but Western inventors
were not neglecting the opportunities the household im-
plem-ent afforded for improvement. Several in Grand
Rapids were studying it, and at other points midnight oil
was being burned in experiments which would lead to a
sweeper that would sweep. In 1876 M. R. Bissell was in
the crockery business on Canal street, Grand Rapids, with
his father. Among other goods handled by the firm were
carpet sweepers, the old " Welcome," manufactured by a
Boston firm. In looking over his stock one day, Mr.
Bissell noticed one feature in the sweepers that could be
materially improved, and he at once went to work to put
his idea into execution. His improvement was a self-ad-
justing brush, and he began the manufacture of sweepers
with this feature. He had the sweeper cases manufac-
tured by Z E. Allen and the inner mechanism he had put
together in the basement of the crockery store. This was
in 1876, and the industry thus started soon outgrew its
basement quarters. An old wooden factory at the foot of
Erie street, on the canal, at Grand Rapids, was leased, and
in 1883 a brick factory on the site of the present factory
was erected. In 1883 the present Bissell company was
organized, and this company has developed into the largest
carpet sweeper manufacturing concern in the world.
In 1880 there were seven different carpet sweeper man-
ufacturing concerns in Grand Rapids. They were the
Bissell, the Grand Rapids, the Michigan, the Plumb, the
Favorite, E. B. Clark and the Grand Rapids Brush Com-
pany. The Grand Rapids Sweeper Company was under
the management of Charles B. Judd. The Michigan
Carpet Sweeper Company was a corporation, with A. J.
Reeves as president, and the others active in its manage-
• ment were Norman Cummings, William M. Robinson,
Charles Cummings, Walter J. Drew and H. J. Felker,
and Henry Spring was also interested as a stockholder.
M. R. Bissell manufactured the Bissell sweeper and A. D.
Plumb was the inventor and manufacturer of the Plumb
sweeper. When the Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company
was organized, the Grand Rapids and the Michigan com-
panies were purchased and merged with it, and at a later
date the Plumb factory was purchased. The Plumb ac-
quisition was the most important to the new company
because it brought to it the "broom action" patents, a
principle in construction most vital to the efficiency of the
sweeper. It is upon this invention, together with more
recent improvements, that the fame of the Bissell sweeper
has largely rested, but without the intelligent and per-
sistent energy that the Bissell Company put into the busi-
ness, even with the possession of this patent, the concern
would not have been the success it has proven. The most
essential of their later improvements are the " c3'co" bear-
ing device, dust proof axle tubes and anti-ravelling collector.
The sweepers are made in twenty-five or thirty different
styles and sizes, ranging from the baby sweeper, 6 inches
in width, to the hall sweeper, 3 feet wide, and they are
shipped to every part of the civilized world. It is esti-
mated the world's demand calls for about 300,000 sweepers
annually. Besides the Bissell are the Goshen Company,
the King Carpet Sweeper Company and the Grand Rapids
Furniture Company in Grand Rapids, and probably half a
dozen others in different parts of the country. There are
several factories in Europe and England, but their total
product does not cut much figure in the market, their
styles for the most part being patterned after the Ameri-
can product.
It is said that James W. Barker, the former proprietor
of the Norristown (Pa.) Carpet Mills, who disappeared last
November, was seen recently in Philadelphia, and that he
had informed a friend that he had just returned from
Seattle, Wash., where he was engaged in the hotel busi-
ness, but contemplated soon returning to Norristown.

upon the market an j»digo, syntheti'ssally prej^ared, whiejj,
as at was stated in a Ijrochure issued to the trade at tliat
time, was meant to enter into a<jtiye oonjpetitioG with
natural indigo, ,
The article is called '* Indigo-rein," or pure indigo, and
the market pri^e is 17 marks per kil^^ram, or ab^^ut $4,2^
for ^ 1-5 pounds, A writer j» tJie Ctiemiker /^itung, w3w
has had wide exx>erience as a practi<:al dyer, s^ms to 1>e
less sanguine regarding the real yalue of the disooyerj
than does the firm that holds the patents for tiae processes.
He says that the natural or plant indigo is not pure in-
digo. In addition to '* indigo blue" it contains ** indigo
red," '*indjgo brown" and some otJier con^itu^ts in
varying proportions. This ** indigo red "•' is preset some-
times to the ejitent of ^ per cent, sometimes 1<) per -cent,
llie fact of this material being at hand enters iato the
calculation of every dyer. How much ''' red " is necess^aj^
in a given case depends upon the fihre, wh^h-^ <xiWm. or
wool, &c,, and whether the threads are thick or thin, Mr,
lyangsays emphatically j '*if tU^eh »o i»digo red i»
the dye yat there is not a good fi;!ied indigo hlue o© the
fibre,"
Nevertheless, it is stated that the -same firm is putting
on the market suhstitutes for the ol3ier ^nstituents of in-
digo, such as indigo red, aad any dyer who is willing 1»
learn should he ahle to miz the various materials in prO'
portions to smt his yarn or his cloth with a certainty which
is now out of the q-Uf^^kxa in the indigo dyeing industry,
owing to the vamtaons in the -quaEty of the natural
prod-act.
Ik (j^xsjjitxiy paper ii'x,/rs are enjoying a steadily in-
creaiang popularity, which is readily ezjilained hy the
many advantages they possess over wooden flooring. One
important advantage conssts in the absence of joints,
whereby accum-ulations of dust, vermin and fungi daa-
^erous to health axe done away with. Tie n^^w paper
floors are had conductors of heat and sound, and, in spi*e
of their hardness have a linoleum-like, soft feel to the foot.-
The cost is considerably lower than those o€ floors
made of hardwood. The paper mass rec^ves a small ad-
dition of cement as hinder, and is sliix^ped in hags m
powder form. The mass is stirred into a stiff paste,
spread out on the floor, pressed down hy means of rollers,
and painted with oakwood, nutwood or mahogany color
after drying.

The Carpet an-d Upholstery Trade Review.
A LESSON IN BUSINESS TACTICS.
g^ LUMPER failed once and lost his last dollar.
^ ) He studied the thing over from every
^ view, and concluded that his fatal mistake
was in not advertising. He was a general
favorite in the country town where he met
with disaster. He held nothing out against
his creditors, and his reward came in the
shape of the postmastership. The income
depended very largely on the number and
value of stamps sold. Blumper determined that he would
not fail again, at least from the same cause.
In the local paper there appeared a big display adver-
tisement notifying the public that Blumper had the largest,
brighest, newest and best selected stock of postage stamps
in the country. He would sell them at the lowest figure,
warrant them to be all that was represented, would sell them
in quantities to suit the purchasers, guaranteed that they
would carry a letter as far and as safely as any other
stamp in the world, defied competition, and wound up by
saying that he had the backing of the Government. As
long as it was good he was good.
" It beat the band," said an old citizen. "We laughed
at him and knew that he was the first postmaster that
ever adopted such tactics, but he was a winner. It tickled
the people almost to death, and there is no better way of
getting their favor. They sent from 100 miles in every
direction to buy stamps of him. Not a man came to town
to do business or make a visit that did not have a commis-
sion to buy postage stamps of Blumper. He made a nice
thing, is now in private business again and thinks an ad-
vertisement about as good as ready money. — Detroit Free
Press.
AN IMPORTANT INSURANCE DECISION.
AFIRE insurance policy issued by the Continental Fire
Insurance Company to Henry Thoesen, a carpet and
furniture dealer on Third avenue, New York city, was
transferred by the company's consent to George Solomon,
Thoesen's general assignee, and soon after, on Decem-
ber 10, 1893, the building which was insured was de-
stroyed by fire. In an action by Solomon against the
company to recover the loss there have been three trials,
though the only controverted question was whether the
plaintiff had complied with the terms of the policy, which
required that immediate notice of loss should be given.
On the first trial the complaint was dismissed. After a
reversal by the General Term of the late Superior Court,
the second trial resulted in a disagreement of the jury.
The referee before whom the third trial was had reported
in favor of the plaintiff, and that decision has now been
affirmed by the First Appellate Division by a divided
court. Though fifty-three days elapsed before notice was
given to the company, the referee found that by reason
of special circumstances the delay was excusable and justi-
fiable. The policy in suit, with others, was in a safe on
the premises which were burned, and on account of that
the plaintiff was unable to find or get at it until fifty days
thereafter. During that time he had no knowledge of
the names of the companies in which he was insured. As
soon as the policy was found, and the company's name
and address ascertained, the notice of loss was sent. For
six days after the fire the safe was buried in the ruins,
and after it had been opened at the manufacturers the
contents were put in boxes and carried in a truck, and
placed in a vault for safe keeping. The fastenings of the
packages had become scorched and the papers were disar-
ranged. They were stuffed into pigeon-holes, and the
policy had slipped between the framework of a pigeon-
hole and the wall behind, so that it was hidden from
ordinary observation. It was only found by chance, long
afterward, although search had been diligently made for
it. Justice McLaughlin, who gives the decision on
appeal, holds that the finding of the referee that sufficient
notice had been given should not be disturbed, especially
as the company had had immediate actual notice from its
agents, the fire patrol, so that it could take precisely the
same measures for its protection that would have been
afforded had written notice at that time been received
from plaintiff. Justice Barrett, in a dissenting opinion,
held that in any view of the circumstances, as presented
by the plaintiff himself, there was inexcusable delay. To
treat such a notice as given within a reasonable time was
substantially to cancel the condition, or else to treat it as
an idle or unnecessary ceremony.
PACIFIC COAST NOTES.
The carpet and furniture business is devoid of exciting news, and
the reason for it is that trade is very quiet. The dealers find lots of
time to stand around and talk about the war,
San Francisco, while they would much rather be entertaining
April 18. customers.
M. Friedman & Co. report a fair trade in
carpets and furniture,
Fritz & Dagan are new furniture dealers at Republic, Wash.
McKee & Co. have opened a furniture house at Everett, Wash.
A. Ogden has started in the furniture business for himself at
Seattle, Wash.
The 1st of May will see a new house furnishing store opened in
Salem, Ore., by Sower & Reinstein.
Joseph E. Fredericks & Co. seem to be going along in very good
shape in spite of the general depression.
The Akron Furniture Company, of Los Angeles, Cal., is preparing
to open a branch store at Santa Monica, Cal.
G. H. Southland, a prominent furniture manufacturer of Grand
Rapids, Mich., is a visitor for a short time in Santa Barbara, Cal.
Harvey Heiss, traveler for the Bromley Manufacturing Company,
Philadelphia is in town, booking orders for lace curtains, portieres
and rugs.
D. N. & E. Walter & Co. report all lines complete, including
trimmings. This firm reports its best trade as coming from the
Northwest.
W. F. Patten has suffered a loss on his stock of furniture at Mount
Vernon, Wash., as the result of a fire that destroyed two blocks of
stores in that place.
The carpet business of the Charles M. Plum & Co. Upholstery
Company is much improved, and the same may be said for the
other departments of that establishment. Some important improve-
ments have been made in this firm's store, which afford a better
chance for display purposes.
If the present drought can be broken by a rainfall within the next
few days there will be a chance for crops to take on new life and
imbue business with the same. It is safe to say that the whole trou-
ble with our commercial situation is caused by the shortage in the
rain, which has materially reduced the previously bright outlook in
the country.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
HOUSE FURNISHINGS IN WURTEMBERG.
EW people bay carpets, except in the
very cheapest grades. The floors of
the better houses are parquetted
in hard wood and covered with
rugs. The word ' Teppich '
means either carpet or rug, so
that what is said of one applies to
the other," says E. H. Ozman,
United States consul at Stuttgart,
Germany, in a recent report to
our State Department in relation
to the carpet, upholstery and furniture trade of Wurteni-
berg. Mr. Ozman says further: " Those able to afford
it buy the handsome Persian and Turkish rugs, which are
sold at about the same price as in the United States. Not
a few Indian rugs are also sold, but they are, as a rule,
less costly. There is little sale for Japanese rugs. The
rugs having the greatest sale are made for the most part
in Saxony. These are of wool and are durable. I have
seen many of them in the United States, where they sell
at prices generally, I should judge, a trifle higher than
here. These rugs, though usually of patterns not in
accord with American taste, are to be found in the best
houses, and, in fact, in houses of all people in comfortable
circumstances.
" The more costly grades naturally have better patterns.
The best of these rugs, while they are well made, do not
last as long as they should, for the German servant uses a
. stiff, wiry, broom-corn brush to clean them daily, instead
of a earpet sweeper as in the United States, and besides
gfives them a very rough beating once or twice a week.
" It is the opinion of some retailers that a more or less
extended trade in American carpets, to be sewed together
with borders, could be built up here if the prices would
allow them to compete with German rugs. It is impossi-
ble, without samples of each quality of rug, to give any
accurate idea of the prices, and I might mislead the man-
ufacturer.
" Plush, velvet, cretonne cheviot and cloth curtains are
made in Germany, silk and cretonne ones in France, and
lace ones in Germany, Switzerland, France and Belgium.
" The Germans prefer lace curtains, over which is hung
a heavy plush or cheviot curtain in solid colors, with lam-
brequin trimmed with gold braid and fringed. A good
quality of cheviot curtain retails for about $15, without
poles or fixtures. These fixtures arfe much dearer than in
the United States and are not so tasteful. I have seen
but one brass pole for sale. Plush curtain stuff, in solid
colors, l}i. metres (59 inches) wide, retails for 85 cents a
yard.
" Cotton wash stuffs for the curtains used in the better
houses are much higher than in the United States. For
example, the common point d'esprit double width curtain
stuff, which retails in the United States for_40 cents per
yard, costs here 4 marks per metre, or about 95 cents per
yard, and other cotton wash stuffs are in proportion.
" Feathers are used here in large quantities, and they
are dear. The Germans, high and low, have feather ticks
for bedspreads in winter. The poor people also use
feather ticks instead of mattresses. All have in addition
hugh feather pillows, two for each person. The beds are
all single, and the spreads and other appurtenances are
made accordingly. The cheapest feathers cost at retail
75 cents per pound. The same quality sells in the United
States, judging from recent advertisements in the New
York papers, at about 22 cents per pound.
"The cheapest mattress is of cotton and wool; "it is
hard and uncomfortable. Excelsior is used, also sea grass,
and of course horsehair for the better class of trade."

INDIANAPOLIS ITEMS.
Chas. H. Peck, manager of the carpet, draperies and
wall paper department of the Pettis Dry Goods Company,
said his department would show an increase
over last spring. In fact, since he took
charge of it, seven years ago, it had shown
an increase every year. He would rather see wheat at $1
and $1.25 and war, than at 40 and 50 cents and no war,
facts which regulated things out here more than anything
else, not that he wanted war at all, but from a business
standpoint, war did not seem likely to cut much of a
figure in trade.
Albert Gall secured the contract to decorate the ladies'
parlors and new cafe at English's Hotel.
Albert Gall, Jr., said the fret and grille business was
the best they had ever had, out of town orders being im-
mense.
M. P. Harrison continues to supply the trade with his
handy carpet roll tightener, and every dealer who gets one
says that he would not be without it for ten times the cost.
The Taylor Carpet Company has had an excellent trade
this spring. The war scare does not affect trade. It is
the weather and crops which do so more than anything
else.
Louis F. Smith, with L. S. Ayers & Co., has held some
special sales in his department that have brought in good
business. The art department is on the third floor and is
a new departure, Ayers & Co. having bought out Ward
& Co., of this city.
J. E. De Voss, in charge of the carpet department at
the " World's Fair Store," reports trade as being very good
with the better class of carpets. In fact he has cut up
more in this line than ever before. The stock the firm
carries is a large one and is kept in fine condition under
the management of Mr. De Voss. J. F. G.
The Philadelphia office of the E. vS. Higgins Carpet
Company has been removed to Room 606, Bourse Building,
where Robert M. Neall is in charge.
In this country and in the civilized world generally we
ai'e so accustomed to the circulation of coins that we are
apt to forget that there are millions of human beings who
know nothing whatever of coins, and conduct their trans-
actions by means of cowries, brass rods, pieces of cotton or
cloth and divers other articles. On the west coast of
Africa brass and copper rods are in vogue, and form an
important article of commerce from the Birmingham
district of England. Recently an effort has been made to
displace this form of currency by forcing the natives to
use silver coins, but without success. — Ex.

at Pana, and Bottom & Brown succeed Brown Brothers
at Sparta.
Three men were burned while trying to put out a fire
in the Trenton (N. J.) Oil Cloth Works on April 8. The
fire was caused by some boiling oil, which ran out of one
of the vats and set fire to the surrounding woodwork.
The damage was about $100.
The four story frame factory and warehouse in the rear
of J. Herig & Son's carpet and furniture establishment at
L65 to 171 Woodland avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, was badly
damaged by fire on the 15th ult. Six horses stabled in
the building were taken out with difficulty. The main
building was threatened for a time. The cause of the fire
is unknown. The loss was $10,000, and is covered by in-
surance.
The contract for furnishing all of the carpeting for the
Hotel Adelphi, at Huntington, W. Va., was awarded
to the Krauss, Butler & Benham Company, Columbus,
Ohio. The hotel is to be entirely carpeted from top to
bottom, with a, beautiful selection of the newest styles and
designs. The award was made after sharp competition,
houses from Columbus, Cincinnati and other cities being
bidders. The Hotel Adelphi is the leading hotel at Hunt-
ington.
A profit sharing plan has been decided upon by the firm
of Davidson Brothers, dealers in dry goods, carpets, &c.,
Sioux City, la., and they will proceed to reorganize their
business at once. The plan is to form a stock company,
with a capital of $150,000, of which $80,000 will be re-
tained by the firm, $20,000 for the employees, and $50,000
will be offered to the public in $100 shares, not more than
one share being sold to each family. This latter stock
will be a preferred claim upon all company property, will
draw 6 per cent, interest, and if the holder is dissatisfied
it will be bought in by the company after twelve months.
The mill of the Port Hope Carpet Manufactui'ing Com-
pany, at Port Hope, Ont., Canada, was the scene of a dis-
astrous fire on the 12th ult., as a result of which, it is
estimated, $3,000 worth of damage was done to contents
thereof. The fire is supposed to have started in a room at
the back of the factory, in which was stored a large quan-
tity of yarn. Here about $750 worth of yarn was de-
stroyed, with $200 worth of drugs, used for dyeing, besides
samples of carpet and damage to empty looms. In the
first story the destruction left its mark chiefly on the large
stock of expensive patterns, which were rendered utterly
useless. The firemen were on hand very promptly, but so
tenaciously did the fire cling to the inflammable material
that it was diflScult to extinguish it. The rooms at the
north of the factory on the first and second floors were the
scene of the greatest damage, the workrooms escaping
untouched. Mr. Sykes, who is connected with the man-
agement, said that the factory would start as soon as things
were put in good shape again. The fire occurred at a

THE SINGER CARPET SEWING MACHINES.
rHE automatic power carpet sewing machine and the
hand sewing machine manufactured by the Singer
Manufacturing Company are both perfect devices for their
respective purposes. The Singer automatic power ma
chine will very quickly save its cost to any carpet dealer.
It secures perfect stretching and matching without the
need of expert labor. It is simple, swift and accurate,
working automatically on its track, following the operator
from section to section as fast as each is matched and
clamped. The action of the clamping levers automati-
cally governs the movement of the sewing machine, thus
saving a great deal of time.
For circulars relating to the automatic power or hand
machine, address the Singer Manufacturing Company.
The machines can be seen in operation at the company's
New York stores, .501 and 563 Broadway, and at its Chi-
cago salesrooms,. 192 and 194 Van Buren street.

BISSELL'S "CYCO" BEARING "AMERICAN QUEEN."
^nius new production is peerless in construction and
I finish, the very latest and finest product of the Bis.
sell Carpet .Sweeper Company, and a carpet sweeper made
expressly to meet the demand that exists with an exclusive
class of customers who are always willing to pay a little
more for an exceptionally fine article. Bissell's "Amer-
ican Queen " is made
from imported mottled
mahogany veneer se-
lected, the figure being
matched to produce the
finest possible efliect.
This veneer is given
the highest grade piano
finish that skilled work-
manship can produce
and the sweeper con-
tains all the latest and best patented devices of the Bissell
Company, including " Cyco " bearings and dust-^roof axle
tubes. The metal parts are all nickel, and only the best
materials throughout are used in the construction of this
sweeper.
No expense has been spared to make the Bissell " Cyco"
bearing ' ' American Queen " the most attractive and
mechanically perfect carpet sweeper ever offered to the
trade. No piece of furniture going out from any of Grand
Rapids' famous factories at any price is finished finer than
Bissell's " Cyco " bearing "American Queen" sweeper.
The price of this sweeper is $27 per dozen ; terms, sixty
days net ; 2 per cent, ten days. The retail price is fixed at
$3.50, thusyieldingtothedealeraprofit of 55 percent. The
Bissell Company also strongly recommend the use of their
upholstered handles with this sweeper, which are supplied
at an additional cost of $2 per dozen. These are retailed
at 25 cents each, realizing a profit to the dealer of 50 per
cent.
Another remedy for the omnipresent carpet moth,
recommended by an authority, is to wring a cloth out of
hot water, lay it on the carpet at the suspected place, and
pass a hot iron over it. The heated steam will kill the
insects at once.

THE MEMORIAL TO GEORGE DRAPER.
n^HK ceremonies attending- the presentation of a bnst of the
late George Draper to the Pennsylvania Museum and
School of Industrial Art took place in the school building
at Broad and Pine streets, Philadelphia, on the ICth ult.
The presentation was made by C. J. H. Woodburj-, repre-
senting the donors, the New England Cotton Manufac-
turers' Association.
Charles B. Harding, who, as representative of the Board
of Trustees, accepted the gift, spoke as follows:
ProUibly the tiret conscious function on the part of the human
being is the acceptance of gifts ; it may be done awkwaixlly, but
it is likely to be positive and without restn\int. Most people hope
that sooner or later, witli abundant practice, they may, if they live
long enough, graciously receive even the smallest gifts. But you
bring us, Mr. Secretary Woodbury, a gift that is unique, and that
will therefore till a large historical place ; and proud as we are that
you have chosen this, our school, as its resting place, I do most
heartily accept it for our Board of Trustees, our institution and the
city of Philadelphia, and 1 beg you to believe that there is nothing
wanting in our appreciation, however we m.iy lack in its gracious
expression.
That your association should have been so impressed at your
meeting here last October as to pass these resolutions, so carefully and
shiUfully drawn, has been to us a matter of great gi-atification, and
that you select the work of this school as the thing in Philadelphia
to be honored by this remarkable memorial of your visit is an
additional matter of pride. And if you shall go on in the spirit of
your resolution that specifies such a school to be a "matter of the
first importance " to your own association, and sliall found, promote
or foster any such thoroughly good and complete establishment in
your own part of the country, we shall welcome it as an ally rather
than as a ri\-al. Too long, indeed, was the Boani of Trustees, this
Faculty, this Associate Committee of Women, engaged in a work
that was pi-actically solitary in the United States, a work in which
they have had all the struggle, all the weariness, all the uncertainty
of future that belongs to any great pioneer enterprise.
In another resolution your association declared " that to no more
worthy object could there be devoted public funds, private
nuuiificence, or the power that comes from association" than the
interests of such an institution. There is great keenness of dis-
ciimination in the order of association, for the ends in view, that
has thus named the three great influences upon which alone such
work depends for support and success, and it is right that the order
should be "public funds, private munificence and the power that
comes from association." But we have not been able to secure influ-
ence in the proper order. The work begun in a small way years
ago was, especially for the textile department, first the power that
came from association, and then came the aid of private munificence.
This building in which you find us to-day is largely ours because of
the handsome "private munificence" of one of Philadelphia's most
successful and distinguished manufacturers, Mr, William Weight-
man. Everywhere you will find throughout the rooms here gifts of
machinery, models and other appliances from private munificence.
Of public funds the institution has had but a meagre and uncertain
share. But we hope the day is not far distant when all education
shall be regarded alike; that is, that the elementary branches of
every kind of education ought to be a charge upon the public funds,
with higher education depending in a measure upon the same sup-
port, largely assisted, however, by private munificence and specific
pursuit of following technical education ciired for by the " power
that comes from association."
You have chosen this school for the place of honor to which to
intrust the care of this handsome bust of your distinguished member,
and, as I have said, you have hereby given a unique position to both.
Some may think it is a far call from the Parthenon and Westminster
Abbey to the halls of the School of Industrial Art. And I can
imagine that hereafter people who go through these rooms, naming
as they pass porti-aits, pictures and busts of musicians, poets, literati
and warriors, may~ stop before this bust asking "Who is this and
what was he that I do not know or do not recall the face ?" It is a
proud omen for the rising honor that belongs to tlie skillful man that
ministers to the cheap, beautiful and plentiful supply of the second
general need of the race (clothing, food being the first) that a hall is
proud to receive this first of such monuments. And it is fitting that
you should have chosen for this first erection the bust of a man who
represents specially the power of thought as applied to his industry.
Such a man, whose intentions and improvement constantly keep a
thorn in the side of all manufacturing industry by presenting what
compels the installation of new macliinery and methods, is a most
useful factor in the promotion of the two great ends so desirable in
manufacturing, "increase of production and lessening of cost."'
In the days to come many a student in passmg by the bust will
take from it encouragement and stimulus in the thought that work
well done for humanity in even those plain and peaceful lines
taught in this school will receive the like proud and fitting recogni-
tion as does the life spent in devotion to literature, fine arts, states-
manship or war. In the name of our board and school and our city,
Mr. Secretary, I again heartily thank your association for the dis-
tinguished mark of your kindly remembrance and your esteem you
confer upon us to-day.

CHICAGO CARPET NOTES.
The Chicago carpet branch of W. & J. Sloane, of New
York, will be closed Saturday. The news came as a great
„. . surprise to the trade. The reasons for the
move are not known even to Manager F. L.
' Hardcastle, who received an order to close
the office in the Champlain Building with the expiration
of the month, when the lease expires, and go to New
York to attend the Sloane auction sale. Mr. Hardcastle
will hereafter travel from W. & J. Sloane's New York
headquarters. Mr. Hardcastle and Mr. J. G. Taylor leave
for New York Saturday. Mr. W. E. Eberback will re-
main here for the present. The office was opened here
in 1893 by O. F. Spate. He was succeeded by M. H.
Jordan, who in turn two years ago was succeeded by Mr.
Hardcastle. W & J. Sloane's office at Kansas City has
been closed, but the upholstery goods business of the
company will be conducted as usual at both Chicago and
Kansas City.
C. D. Hurley has gone East.
The local buyers are all off to the front — that is to New
York to attend the sale
Jacob Sladek, dealer in carpets and furniture at 689
Milwaukee avenue, has sold out to John Rosinski.
H. J. Siegel, of Siegel, Cooper & Co., was married re-
cently. The bride was Mrs. Marie Vaughn- Wilde,
daughter of Judge Vaughn, of Illinois, and widow of
George M. Wilde, of St. Louis.
The J. V. Farwell Company, Schlesinger & Mayer and
Montgomery, Ward & Co. have notified their employees
that those among them who join the army will have spe-
cial provision made for them in regard to salaries and the
holding of positions.
W. E. Burgess, of the Ivins, Dietz & Metzger Com-
pany, had a birthday last Thursday. Which one it was
Mr. Burgess refuses to state, and none of his friends can
find out, but nevertheless, they surprised him at his home,
125 Clarke avenue, Austen, and presented him with a
handsome traveling case. Among them were several
local carpet salesmen.
Most all the buyers leave here on Friday or Saturday
for Sloane's sale in New York. They are J. C. Carroll, of
the Chicago Carpet Company; Ed. Richardson, of O. W.
Richardson & Co.; Chas. Birkle, of the Fair; Mr. Holly-
wood, of Siegel, Cooper & Co. ; John Reddens, of J. V.
Farwell & Co. ; Mr. Ames, of Marshall Field & Co. , and
Mr. Lift, of Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co., with a few others.
Many of the large firms in Chicago have assured their
employees that they will lose nothing financially by
answering the call to arms. Here are some of the gen-
erous promises extended to employees who enlist: John
V. Farwell, Jr., of the John V. Farwell Company, full
pay to each man during his term of enlistment; $1,000 to
his family in case of death; Marshall Field & Co., con-
tinuation of salary during term of enlistment, and Carson,
Pirie, Scott & Co. , continuation of salary during term of
enlistment.
There was quite a movement of Chicago carpet men to
the front to-day. Mark Henry is quartermaster-sergeant
of Troop B, First Cavalry, which was ordered out yester-
day. He left last night with his command for Springfield.
He is manager of Schlesinger & Mayer's carpet depart-
ment Others to go from the same store were George R.
Halden, W. E. Nesbitt, John Floyd and Clarence Tubery.
Patrick Conway, from Mandel Brothers, and Chas. McCoy,
from O. W. Richardson & Co , also went with their regi-
ments.
Rudolph Scherer, representing Reeve's linoleum, is
in town, and Frank B. Tinelli has received a royal wel-
come from his many friends among the trade, this being
his first visit here in eighteen months.

ORIENTAL RUG DEPARTMENT OF BEDROS KAZANJIAN.
BEDROS Kazanjian is_exhibiting a Complete assortment of
Turkish and Persian rugs and carpets in his ware-
rooms, 32 Greene street. New York. Mr. Kazanjian re-
turned from his annual Eastern trip about a month ago.
While abroad he made extensive purchases for his Ameri-
can house.
He has his own agents in Tiflis, Constantinople, Bag-
dad and Smyrna, and his New York selling agents are the
well-known firm of E. T. Mason & Co., 28, 30 and 32
Greene street.
Mr. Kazanjian is devoting special attention to bale lots,
inviting large transactions at very small margin.
OPENING OF SANFORD'S FALL STYLES.
THE complete fall lines of S. Sanford & Sons' goods may
be found at their salesrooms, 29 Union square. New
York, on May 2. To say that the collection of patterns and
colorings represents the height of advancement in carpet
patterning is simply to anticipate what the most skillful
buyers will readily avow. The reputation of the Sanford
productions as quick and clean sellers grows stronger with
each succeeding season, and their customers' adherence to
the goods in any changes of the market is a crowning evi-
dence of their great desirability.
Some new fabrics have been added which show novelty
in weave and effects, while the grades of the past season
will be continued. With the opening of the fall season
Sanford & Sons are offering their Beauvais Axminster
rugs in different sizes, from 27 by 54 inches to 9 by 12
feet. The trade visiting the city during the current fort-
night will find a call at Sanford & Sons' salesroom a most
pleasant duty, for these handsome goods are displayed in
equally attractive surroundings.
I WILL PROTECT.
UNDER this flag W. T. Smith & Sons sail into the season.
In tlieir unique advertisement on another page they
show a capital picture of Uncle Sam prepared for the car-
pet war. The illustration is well worthy of attention.
A RUG expert says that the test for a good Eastern rug
or carpet which is often employed bj' exporters in those
countries is to drop a piece of red-hot charcoal upon it.
If the singed wool can be brushed off with the hand with-
out leaving the slightest trace of it, it shows that the car-
pet is of high quality.

THOMAS B. SHOAFF.
JOHN W. MILLER.
SHOAFF— MILLER.
JOHN W. MILLER RETIRES FROM TEFFT, WELLER & CO.'S TO BECOME A MEM-
BER OF THE FIRM OF T. B. SHOAFF &. CO.
ON May 2 John W. Miller, manager of the carpet de-
partment of Tefft, Weller & Co., becomes a mem-
ber of the firm of T. B. Shoaff&Co. , agents for John
Bromley & Sons, of Philadelphia, the Roxbury Carpet
Company, Boston, and Matthew J. Whittall, of Worcester
and Palmer, Mass., and will take with him the Tapestry ac-
count of John Rippel and the Ingrains of David Jackson.
Mr. Miller was born in Ohio and in early business life
was head of the firm of Miller, Jones& Co., at Springfield,
in that State. The house dealt largely in carpets and he
became well versed in the buying and handling of all
grades of the goods. He has the credit of being one of
the originators of the syndicate system of buying, under
which several firms, by joining together in their purchases,
could make the aggregate of their orders so great as to
entitle them to discounts which none of them separately
could obtain.
In 1881 he came to this city and opened the carpet de-
partment of Teiit, Weller & Co., which has become under
his management one of the three largest carpet jobbing
departments in the country.
He first handled Stephen Sanford & Sons' Tapestries,
then those of E. S. Higgins & Co., and twelve or thirteen
years ago began to deal in the production of the Alex.
Smith & Sons' Carpet Company. For the past ten years
the house of Tefft, Weller & Co. has disposed of an
average annual amount of the Smith goods of about a
million dollars, or say 50,000 rolls.
On the occasion of the special sales of surplus stocks
they have ordinarily taken from 20,000 to 25,000 pieces,
and have been for years the largest jobbers of Smith
goods purchased from W. & J. Sloane. The department's
annual sales have for some years reached $2,500,000.
Even during the present year the sales have averaged
$250,000 a month. Last year Tefft, Weller & Co. han-
dled between $350,000 and $400,000 of Stinson Brothers'
Tapestries and Velvets. Mr. Miller has managed to bring
the department in touch with the largest houses in the
trade, and instances are known where in a quiet way
sales of from $25,000 to $75,000 have been made to a
single house.
For some time he has been meditating getting out of
the jobbing business, feeling that his training and ex-
perience would be of better use in selling directly for the
manufacturers.
The decision to arrive at this result was finally
reached six months ago, and the present arrangement
is the consequence. The opening is one just suited
to his wishes, as he will be in direct touch with Velvet and
Tapestry mills, his specialty, and giving him the Roxbur}'
9 and 10 wire taps, and the Rippel 8 wire taps — thus en-
abling him to continue a big seller of this class of goods.
Tefft, Weller & Co. have positively decided to close out
the entire department. They have been leading carpet
jobbers, and are unwilling to handle the goods in any
more restricted way. The closing out of their stock will
be prosecuted with all possible dispatch.
The fall lines of goods handled by T. B. Shoaff & Co.
are now ready, and can be seen at the warerooms, !)35
Broadway.
An indignant Kansas merchant has brought suit against
a local paper because he claims that by a curions typo-
graphical error it queered for him a big clearance sale.
The advertisement read: "More furniture, bedding and
rugs than we care to carry in stock." The intelligent
compositor made it " bugs," and now " there's the devil
to pay." — Ex.
One effect of the proposed blockade of the Philippine
Islands has been to cause an advance of £1 2s. 6d. per
ton from the price of Manila hemp in London about the
middle of last week and a complete shutting down of
business on this side. Prices here are entirely nominal,
but are quoted at 6>^ to 6^ cents for spot, comparing
with 4:>^ cents, the quotation a short time ago.

DRIVE IN MATTING AND CARPETS.
So-ME great bargains in straw matting and carpeting are
announced by F. G. Rogers, 1015 Filbert street,
Philadelphia, in his new advertisement on page 93 of this
issue. Among his offerings in China matting are 2,000
rolls, G5 to 70 pounds, atll>^ cents; 2,000 rolls, 55 pounds,
at Syi cents and 1,000 rolls of white inlaid, at 11^-2 cents.
Standard Extra Supers at -to cents; standard 12 pair,
-12^-2 cents; all wool Art Squares, 45 cents; 9 and 10 pair
odd Tapestry stairs at 42^ cents; odd Velvet stairs at
6'2j4 cents, and §4 Velvet borders at 42>^ to 45 cents.
ROCK MILLS ART SQUARES.
SWIRE & ScoTT are all ready to show the fall patterns in
Rock Mills Art Squares and Ingrains. In both Art
Squares and 4-4 goods they are making five different
grades, and in each department no better carpets can be
found in the country. They have been especially fortu-
nate this season in securing some extreme novelties in Art
Square designs, and will show some patterns which are a
long way off the beaten track. This is high praise when
it is remembered that for years they have never fallen
into mediocrity, and have always been noted for the origi-
nality and beauty of their goods.
THE NEWEST INLAID LINOLEUM.
THE formal announcement of the placing of their new
inlaid linoleum on the market is made by the George
W. Blabon Company in this number. We noted in our
March 15 issue that the company were about ready to
offer inlaid linoleums to the trade, and since then they
have put the finishing touches on their new lines and are
prepared to show some six or eight different patterns.
The Blabon Company have made haste slowly in pre-
paring their inlaids through a desire to obtain the very
best methods of manufacture and to produce from the
start goods which will be satisfactory in every way. The
different colors in a pattern are inlaid with serrated or
ragged edge joints, and the amalgamation of the cork
mash and canvas foundation is produced by a process
which the Blabon Company have proved insures the great-
est possible solidity.
The patterns are of the tile order, and the mottled
goods will doubtless be specially good sellers, owing to
the greater color effects obtained. The company are pre-
pared to accept orders, and now show the samples of in-
laids at their salesrooms, 34 North Fifth street, Phila-
delphia, and 110 Worth street, New York.
Advices from Canton dated March 19 state that settle-
ments in the China matting market remain at 220,000
rolls, the last figures reported, and that the market is
strong with an upward tendency.
Mr. E. H. Weatherbee, of Arnold, Constable & Co.,
says that business has been satisfactoiy to date in their
wholesale carpet department, for while the demand for
carpeting has lessened in some localities, it has increased
in others to a corresponding extent or more.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
THE POTTER FLOOR OIL CLOTHS AND LINOLEUMS.
THE fact that the fall line of floor oil cloths now offered
by Thos. Potter, Sons & Co. succeeds a line which
has been shown for the past year makes the new patterns
of special interest to buyers. An idea of the changes in
the line is given in the statement that the fall offerings
contain about 75 per cent, of entirely new styles.
There are 12 new patterns in B rugs. In the extra
grade of floor cloth there are 8 new patterns out of 23 ; in
the No. I's, 16 out of a total of 24; in the No. 2's, 17 out
of a total of 25; in the No. 3's, 16 out of a total of 24; in
Stars, 18 out of a total of 22, and of 15 patterns in No. 4's
only 3 were made for the season of 1897. Some of the
strikingly attractive patterns are No. 327 in the No. 1
grade; 317, original in design and coloring, a keywork
pattern over inarble, illuminated with two shades of red ;
in No. 2's, 946, showing a brown ground with a geometri-
cal block in red, black and white, a very pretty combina-
tion of color and effects; 951, a small figure with geomet-
rical effects.
In No. 3's, 779, a linoleum effect on a white ground
with olive green and brown figures; 776, linoleum effect
on a brown ground with white, red and medium yellow
colors.
In Stars, 157 is a small figure, very tasteful; 159 is a
large effect in grays, whites, olives and reds; 150 and 151
are floral effects, one on white ground with spring leaf
effects, and one on ecru ground with fall leaf effects.
Taken altogether, the new line will siirely meet with
the approbation of the trade, and well maintains the repu-
tation of Thos. Potter, Sons & Co. as leaders in original
patterns
The new fall styles in the printed linoleum of Thos.
Potter, Sons & Co. are ready for inspection, and will
command encomiums as well as the firm's usual liberal
share of orders That their search for new beau-
ties in figure and coloring effects has been successful
is readily apparent in comparing the fall line with that
offered during the last spring season, and the firm have
also kept up their system of liberality in the number of
new patterns presented.
In the A grade there are 12 new patterns out of a line
of 20 ; in B's 14 out of 26 ; in C's 10 out of 20 ; in D's 11 out
of 22, and in E's 10 out of an aggregate of 18. The line
presents a large number of staple styles with a generous
sprinkling of radical departures. It is proper to remind
buyers that all of the patterns shown in Thos. Potter, Sons
& Co.'s color sample book of 1897 will be continued in the
fall line of 1898, so that orders may be sent in as usual on
these patterns. Some particularly attractive styles in A's
are 1234, which' is a small figure, very handsomely colored
in shades of brown, salmon and dark red; 1230, a large
effect in geometrical figures and medium colors — light
olives, browns, reds and rubies.
In B's 764 is a Mosaic effect in a set figure in red and
blue on a mosaic ground, which is extremely novel; 746 is
a small effect in turquoise blue, white, brown and yellow.
In C's 172 is a staple style pattern in new figures very
effectively colored; 170 is a combination of mosaic and
geometrical effects in a rich combination; 168 and 169 are
tile patterns, one in blue and white and one in black and
white, the effect being radically new.
In D's 445 is a medium sized figure in plain colors, which
will doubtless be a popular seller; 442 is a 4>^ inch pat-

C. H. MASLAND & SONS' NEW THINGS.
THE Amber Mills fall lines of Ingrain carpets and Art
Squares are now ready for inspection at the ware-
rooms of the agents, W. & J. Sloane. This mill has the
largest Ingrain production in Philadelphia, beginning with
the Savon Art carpets and Art Squares in 9 and 12 feet
widths and in one piece, and running through every grade
of Extra Supers, Super C. C, Extra Unions and Cottons,
with stairs to match. The new line shows a wide range
of handsome and salable designs in all grades.
A new feature for this fall is a handsome line of Medal-
lion Art Squares, of a style not heretofore made in
Ingrains.
DAVID JACKSON & SON.
DAVID Jackson, the well-known Ingrain manufacturer,
of Philadelphia, will this month admit his son, James
K. Jackson, to an interest in his business, the firm becom-
ing David Jackson & Son. For many years past Mr.
Jackson's product has been sold through Tefft, Weller &
Co., of New York, and now that John W. Miller, so long
manager of the latter firm's carpet department, has entered
the firm of T. B. Shoaff & Co. the Jackson account goes
with him, so that the product will hereafter be distributed
through T. B. Shoaff & Co., 935 Broadway, New York.
Tefft, Weller & Co, sold the Jackson goods under the
brands of Empire Extra Supers and C. C's, Stratford
Supers, Eclipse Unions and Royal Cottons, which brands
will be continued. The new fall lines are now in the hands
of the new agents.
THE TRENTON LINOLEUM.
ON page 17 the Trenton Oil Cloth and Linoleum Com-
pany announce the offering of their new line of lino-
leum. They state: "We place on the market a piece of
linoleum equal to any now being manufactured," and they
seek to turn out first-class goods exclusively. The samples
may be viewed at the company's New York salesroom, 508
Hartford Building, 41 Union square, where O. F. Spate,
the selling agent, will be on hand this week to meet the
trade.
READY TO BUILD TAPESTRY LOOMS.
WE learn that the M. A. Furbush & Son Machine Com-
pany are contemplating placing a new Tapestry
carpet loom on the market. They have recently secured
the patents for an improved Tapestry loom, and also
have the patterns of a Tapestry loom which they formerly
turned out. Speaking of the matter Mr M. A. Furbush
said that his company were ready to-day to accept a fair
sized order for Tapestry looms, and could execute the
same in a reasonable time. He admitted that the com-
pany had under consideration the building of Tapestry
looms in the near future to test the demand for same.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
REMOVAL OF McCALLUM &
McCALLUM'S NEW YORK OFFICE.
McCallum & McCallum's New York salesroom is now
located in larger and better lighted quarters at 39
Union square, in the premises adjoining the well-known
Hartford Building. They have a large room for general
showroom, with excellent light, and a smaller room for a
sample room and the office of Charles S. Price, their rep-
resentative. The firm's New York office has been located
at 1 and 3 Union square for several years past, and they
were among the very first of the carpet houses to move
from the Worth street district uptown.
Mr. Price will have the fall lines in Glen Echo Wiltons,
Body Brussels, Extra Supers, Byzantine rugs, Arras
Tapestries and Sakai rugs on view at the new showrooms,
39 Union square, this week, and invites the. attention of
visiting buyers.
THE THREAD COMBINATION NOT EFFECTED.
'pHF. proposed transfer of the WiUimantic Linen Com-
I pany to an English syndicate has not been accom-
plished, the war being the main obstacle to the deal. The
arrangement first proposed was that the capital stock of
the company, which is $3,000,000, should be taken by the
syndicate at $31.25 a share, which would amount to
$3,250,000, but it is said that the syndicate now offers to
pay somewhat less than half of the price in cash when the
stock is taken, and give the securities of the American
Thread Company, which is to be formed, for the balance.
The price agreed upon for the stock remains the same as
under the original deal. The companies that are to be
embraced in the American Thread Company are the
WiUimantic Company, the Merrick Thread Company and
the Hadley Thread Company, of Holyoke; the William
Clark Thread Company, of Westerly, R. I. ; the Barstow
Thread Company, the Kerr Thread Company, of Fall
River; the Glasgo Thread Company and the Glasgo Yarn
Company, of Voluntown, Conn. ; the Warren Thread
Company, of Boston; the Ruddy Thread Company, of
Worcester; the New England Thread Company, the Boss
Thread Company, of Bridgeport, Conn., and the National
Thread Company, of Mansfiield, Conn.
Charles Oswald, formerly with Philip Doerr & Sons,
Philadelphia, has joined the selling force of Swire &
Scott.
Albert Graff, of Albert Graff & Co., the matting and
carpet wholesalers, has returned from his trip to China
and Japan.
The Geo. W. Blabon Company are ready with their
complete fall lines of floor oil cloths, printed linoleums and
inlaid linoleums, and display the samples at their Phila-
delphia and New York offices.
Manager Coloney, of J. & J. Dobson's, is busy putting
the finishing touches on his new fall line, and promises to
have some extraordinary attractions in patterns and color-
ings. The firm's wide mosaics, or plain Velvets, have
made a big hit, and a new shade of green has been added
to the line for fall.
NEW POPULAR PRICED VELVET CARPET.
THE "Sterling Plush," the designation given by Robt.
Beattie & Sons to their new Velvet carpet, a fabric
which is destined, in our estimation, to become a very
popular seller, is now shown in a good range of patterns
and colorings at the firm's salesroom, 'Constable Building,
111 Fifth avenue. New York. The Messrs. Beattie
showed a few patterns in this new fabric during the spring
season, and the goods were highly thought of by the
trade. Their special attraction is that they give the
Beattie touch of choice style in a fabric less expensive
than the firm's regular high grade Velvets. The "Ster-
ling Plush " has a close and remarkably even finished pile,
and the nature of the fabric brings out the colorings with
notable brilliancy and distinctiveness. The patterns and
colorings have had the advantage of the skilled super-
vision of Charles E. Home, and the same extreme care
and liberality of outlay for designs have been devoted to
them as to the high grade Beattie Velvets. The "Ster-
ling Plush " fillings contain exceptionally well adapted
features for filling purposes. As quoted in the announce-
ment on page 27, they are "as clean as a Wilton" — that
is, entirely free from streaks, presenting a solid, evenly
colored and evenly finished pile. They are made in all
shades. Beattie & Sons are prepared to supply cut quan-
tities of the " Sterling Plush '' fillings at 10 cents per yard
advance over the roll price, and will send samples on
application. In investigating fall products, carpet buyers
must take due notice of the " Sterling Plush."
FEATURES OF POTTER'S INLAIDS.
"pHE special feature of the Potter inlaid linoleums is to
I reproduce the appearance of stone tiling and inlaid
floors, the method of construction and patterns being
based on this idea. That the goods succeed in faithfully
reproducing the inlaid tile appearance is thoroughly
demonstrated in the line of patterns shown. The inlaid
sections ar6 clean cut, well defined, and contrast with each
other, and the goods eminently fulfill their purpose. The
trade may rely upon receiving in the Potter inlaid linoleum
goods which are thoroughly seasoned and hard and will
give the best possible wear. A good range of patterns is
shown for the fall season.
P. H. Hanley, carpet and furniture dealer, is one of
the bondsmen of Jersey City's new Street and Water Com-
mission, and John Mullins is a bondsman for one of the
new police commissioners.
Charles Lindenholme, manager of the carpet depart-
ment of J. H. Little & Co., New York, is a patient at St.
Luke's Hospital, a sufferer from inflammatory rheuma-
tism. He will probably be under treatment for several
weeks to come.
Most of the jute yarns used in the manufacture of carpet-
ing in this country are spun in the United States. The raw
material comes from the East Indies, and was at one time
spun chiefly in Dundee for the American market, but there
are now in this country a number of mills turning out jute
yarn, among them being the Chelsea Mills, Dolphin Mills,
Planet Mills, the Barbour Brothers Company and the
Ludlow Manufacturing Company's mills.
^be jfortniQbt.
OT unnaturally the excitement
attendant upon the wholesale
preparations for a declara-
tion of war with Spain has
served to disturb trade con-
ditions.
Very little has been done
among upholstery dealers
during the fortnight, al-
though the lace curtain end
of the line has managed to
dispose of some considerable
amount of foreign goods.
There appears to be a gen-
eral feeling that the speedy
revival in the values of Ameri-
can bonds and stocks indi-
cates a belief here and abroad
that the disturbance in
trade conditions will not be of long continuance.
Meanwhile, on all sides, collections are reported to be
excellent, and dealers find no difficulty in obtaining money
to meet their obligations. Failures have been fewer than
they were at this time a year ago.
The large New York retail dealers appear to have, with
few exceptions, been the first to be affected by the scare,
but the effect was speedily felt all over the country.
■"The manufacturers, jobbers and retailers of one class of
goods are reaping a harvest through the war. Worsted
bxmting and flags are in most extraordinarj' demand, with
small supply. Standard 18 inch bunting which a month
ago was sold by jobbers at $5 rose shortly to $G, and is
now quoted at $7.75 and $8. During the New York cen-
tennial celebration, which was purely a local affair, the
same goods touched $12. Miles of cotton flags and red,
white and blue stripes are being sold by the jobbers in cot-
ton piece goods. There is also a brisk demand for Cuban
flags, both in worsted and in cotton.
\ CORRESPONDENT writcs to the Nottingham (England)
Guardian as follows: " I suggest that on a convenient
date once a year we hold in Nottingham a lace carnival,
when Nottingham made lace may be used for decorating
purposes. Social gatherings might be^held, entertainments
might be given, and a grand procession held and buildings
decorated; at all of which Nottingham made lace might
be used, for the benefit of the Nottingham lace trade and
local charities; by this I mean some beautiful design might
be shown. Many people might be attracted to the town,
and Nottingham made lace should be known both far and
wide."
"The Duty on Plushes. — In reference to the case of
W. & J. Sloane et al. against the collector at New
York, noted in our issue of the loth ult., the Treasury
Department has issued a statement to the collector as
follows :
"Tkeasury Department. April 20, 1898.
" Sir — The Department is in receipt of a decision of the
Board of General Appraisers (G. A. 4123) in the matter
of protests 29,975 of, &c., of W. & J. Sloane et al., wherein
it is held that certain plushes composed of flax, chief
value, are dutiable under paragraph 315 of the act of July
24, 1897, as ' plushes * * * composed of * * * vegetable
fibre,' and not under paragraph 242 of said act as ' pile
fabrics of which flax is the component material of chief
value,' as classified by you.
"The Board of General Appraisers finds that the mer-
chandise under consideration consists of plushes of which
flax is the component material of chief value; that the
term ' pile fabrics ' is a generic term applied to describe
certain varieties of manufactured goods, including plu.shes,
velvets, velveteen, corduroys, and others; that the provi-
sion in paragraph 315 for plushes composed of vegetable
fibre covers plushes composed of flaXj and that therefore
the enumeration in paragraph 315 for plushes composed
of vegetable fibre is narrower than the provision in para-
"iiK Caki'ki- .\Nii Upholstery Trapk Review.

"In regaal theivlo I have to inform you that this De-
l^rtmont does not concur in the conclusions reached hy
the lVvu\l of (.loneral Appraisei-s in this case. Tariigraph
SI."* of the act of Jvily 'M. 1807'. piwides for ' plushes * * *
and all pile fabrics * * * composed of cotton or other
vegetable tibiv,' Whether the term 'plushes' as appear-
ing" in sjud iwragi-aph is a moiv specific designation than
the term 'all pile fabrics' as appearing in jviragraph ;U5
is. therefore, immaterial in view of the fact that the term
'all pile fabrics' appeal's in both paragraphs ;>lo and lU'^J,
In ^.x^nstruing these ixvragraphs the question to be ctMi-
sideivd is. therefoiv. What kinds of pile fabrics are cov-
evxx1 by those re^speclive p;»ragraphs ?
"As statet.1. p;iragraph iUo provides for pile fabrics
composevl of a>tton or other vegetable tibi't, whereas
pjiragniph S4^ provides for 'all pile fabrics of which tlax
is the eom^x>nent material of chief value,' As between
these two there can be no question but that the ennmeni-
tion ' pile fabrics of which tlax is tlie component material
of chief value ' is a specific and direct enumeration and is
narrower than the ennmeration ' pile fobv'ics comjx>sed of
cotton or other vegxnable ribre,' which latter may cover a
\"ariety of vegetable tibres.
" It is tvlso to be noted that under the decision of the
Board of Oeneral Appraisers, pjiragmph lU^J wonld become
pnietically inoperatix^e. and wonld exclude therefrom a
larg^ variety of pile fabrics. In carrying the provisions
of ^wnvgraphs Slo and Si"} intoetlect, it must be presumed
that Congress intended to put all pile fabrics of which ilax
is the comix^nent material of chief x-alue under p;\n\graph
84^ ai the rate of (50 per cent, ad valorem, and that other
pile fabrics, such as plushes, velvets, veh'eteen, cordnn>yss

Jiax ikt\/ i\titit^ were to be dutiable under jxiragraph SI 5,

THE VELVET RUFF PORTIERE.
THE Hensel Silk Manufacturing- Company's new velvet
rutV portiJ-re is likely to be in great demand. The
ruff, instead of being- wound around a rope, is part of the
rope itself, and woven by a three-shuttle movement. It
is made in tliree color combinations, and in about eighty
styles in both single and double widths. The ruif por-
tiere is more durable than the ordinary style, because there
is no displacement or sliding on the rope. It is shown
with the many other novelties and specialties of the Hen-
sel Silk Manufacturing Company at their headquarters,
i>ol> to i>^> North Bn.Kul street. Philadelphia, and their
branch s;\lesrooms. 4oS Broadway, New York ; Ti> Chauncy
street. Boston; 14T Fifth avenue, Chicago, and the
Phelan Biiildingf, San Francisco, Cal.
Owing to a dis;igreement between tlie partnei-s compris-
ing- the finn of Gately & O'Gorman the appointment of a
receiver has been applied for. and a keeper is now in
charg-e of the firm's store in Boston.
The bedrooms in a simply but very preitily tuniished
country home hax^e as floor coverings squares of China
matting, with the spiice^ surrounding them painted white.
With brass trimmed white bedsteads, walls on which are
light ground pjipers, wiili trailing- sprays of flowers, and
draperies of white muslin, the rooms have a delightfully
fredi and dainty appecvrance. The white filling for the
tloor is easily kept clean, luid does not show a little loose
dust, as does tlie dark stained floor.
The keynote of the Japanese furnishing, which is be-
coming more and more recognised as the most artful of
art, is its reserve. It never paints the lily or gilds re-
fined gv>ld. A single beautiful thing, if it be only a spray
of cherry blossoms, is allowed to show its beauty unham-
pered by some other beautiful thing. The spray, per-
haps, will be thrust in a tall \-ase of unobtrusive tint, and
without ornamentation except, it may be, a line of gilt or
a dash of just the color needed to enforce the loveliness of
the blooms. The background is not forgotten, and the
bit of beauty is set against the plain space best suited to
develop it without obtruding itself. That will be enough
for a comer of a room, and when the eye leaves it reluct-
anthr. it will be to travel to some other complete arrange-
ment, matted, however, with the same artistic simplicity.
We, in our profuseness, spoil these restful and graceful
ejffects. but we are learning.

had a legitimate right to a name the same as that of some

same line as the business man. Goods would be ordered
on credit and Bradstreet's cited as a reference, Bra^]-

goods had been ordered v/ould ask Bra/3street's as to the

goods would be shipped, only to di-sapfjear.

The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
^FURNISHING A
COZY CORNER.
AN we not conceive of the
corner or fireside seat
wliich shall be as rich and
beautiful when the light
of day paints it in relief and
shadow as is the most perfect
picture produced by the painter's
skill, and composed with his un-
failing regard for arrangement
and balance ? In justification of
this idea I am reminded of the
decoration which filled a vacant
space in a sunny south room in
,■,'•"'.' ^' the home of a friend whose
capacity for discovering the
beauty and utility of the ma-
terial at hand, and of bringing the right thing for the
place from the most unexpected quarter amounted to a
talent. A long divan stretched from the chimney
piece to the corner of the room, and stood back
from a large window just far enough to give the
light the chance to play a little hide and seek
among the colors, lighting up the reds and yel-
lows, throwing back the blues and leaving re-
cesses in delightful contrasting shadow. Over the
couch was spread a rug of figured velours. As
many as six pillows were seemingly thrown at
random along the entire length. These were
covered with textures in odd Moorish designs.
Japanese silks in rich i-eds and blues, and Ameri-
can silks in rainbow effects of soft warm coloring.
The wall at one end and the chimney at the
other, gave an inclosed space which made a head-
rest at either end possible. Closely stretched over
the wall like a piece of tapestry was
a bit of dark mahogany canvas,
and hung in soft folds from the cen-
tre of this was a piece of an old
Turkish shawl softly padded, giv-
ing an effect of warmth and adding
much to the comfort of the divan.
A narrow mantelpiece was placed
above the canvas, and underneath a
low relief of plaster softened by a
delicate yellow wash was placed as
a sort of classic border. The soft
draperies of the figures of " Dawn "
and "Twilight" floated so deli-
cately and airily over the white
plaster that one was led to wander
in dream fancies, while one's eyes
were still open. And the breath of
a few flowers in Japanese vases,
standing on the shelf above one's
head, led one also to dream of
enchanted Southern bowers. Lit-
tle''plasters of the Milo or other
Greek statues also make appropriate decorations for a
narrow shelf of this kind.
The attractions of these cozy corners is in a great meas-
ure due to the choice of rich and harmonious coloring and
to its adaptation to the other furnishings of the apart-
ment. The educated eye demands a complete and har-
monious whole as quickly as it discards that from a given
part which strikes in it a discordant note.
T"
TWO STYLES IN FESTOONS.
; treatment of window draperies, even when con-
trived in conjunction with the brass pole, is capable
of a great variety of expression. The " over and under "
valance which lends itself so gracefully to furnishings of
a Louis Quinze type, may be rendered in many ways, and
the inequalities of the swags and the alternate colorings
of perhaps two or three different fabrics, all help to give
a rich appearance at but a small outlay of time and ma-
terial.
The employment of the brass pole, however, does not
necessarily require an unequal or even a festoon drapery.
The first of the two sketches shown upon this page, for
instance, has a ver)- pretty con-
trivance of small festoons fixed
to a moderately stiif lambrequin.
This latter serves as a shapely
valance as well as narrow side
curtain, for at the usual tie back
position it is drawn in by a
small band. The main curtains
of the window work at the back
of this.
The other suggestion is more
suitable for bedroom decora-
tion. It is designed with a
broad double puckered cornice
fixed upon a board whence hang
the prominent festoons, and un-
derneath these hang the princi-
pal curtains.
The Allegheny Upholstering
Company, 330 North avenue,
Allegheny, Pa. , is succeeded by

J-
S. J. Tellery & Co.'s new salesrooms in the Faulkner
Building, 18 ICast Seventeenth street, aflord them fine op-
portunities for the display of their very attractive and in-
teresting goods, and these opportunities are certain to be
effectively utilized by Mr. Blumberg.
J. A. Filer & Co.'s new salesrooms in the Arlington
Building, 22 to 2G East Fourteenth street, are much moi-e
spacious than their old quarters, the change being made
necessary by the great and rapid growth of this enter-
prising firm's business. See their new advertisement on
page 05 of this issue.
Hunninghaus & Lindemann, the window shade manu-
facturers, report themselves as much pleased with the
change of their salesrooms from Broadway to 79 Walker
street. At the latter location they have more room, a
much better light, and have also found that they are re-
ceiving more calls from the purchasing trade than at any
former time.

The wall paper and window shade business of Sartders
& Co. at Flushing, which has been carried on there for
the past thirty years, is now conducted in the name of
John Geddes, who has been the proprietor for many years.
Mr. Geddes started in the employ of Sanders & Co. about
twenty- five years ago. The building is resplendent with
gorgeous new signs bearing Mr. Geddes' name in large
gold letters. .
The Merchants' Association of this city has practically
concluded arrangements with the Quebec Steamship Com-
pany, which controls the line of steamers plying between
this port and Bermuda, for reduced rates to New York for
Bermuda merchants, to go into effect during the summer
months of July, August and September. The steam-
ship company put a reduced rate in effect last summer
during the month of August for the benefit of the Mer-
chants' Association and of the merchants of Bermuda.
The Merchants' Association sent circulars to Bermuda
announcing- the reduced rates, and as the result of this
co-o]Deration on the part of the steamship company a
very large number of merchants came to this city for the
purpose of making their purchases. It is expected that a
still larger number will come this summer.
Duryea & Potter, furniture dealers, decorators and u]j-
holsterers, remove about the current date (May 1) from
East Twentieth street to Fifth avenue, near Forty-first
street.
Ryan & McGahan have secured the .selling agency of
the New York Tapestry Mills, and have ready the com-
plete fall lines of ujjholstery fabrics at their salesroom, 85
Leonard street.
Efforts are being made to revive the flax industry in
certain parts of England, where it has fallen into desue-
tude, especially in the County of Lincolnshire. Flax is
grown in Yorkshire,' Essex, Suffolk and Somerset, the
greatest portion coming from tlic East and West Ridings
of Yorkshire. In 1897, in the whole of Great Britain
there were under cultivation only 1,800 acres of flax; in
Ireland there were 73,301 acres.
The Sash Curtain Rod and Novelty Company, of Provi-
dence, R. I., write us in reference to the double rod which
is now largely used for hanging frilled curtains. They
state that they have had the double rod, shown iri their
advertisement in this issue of 'f'nr, Rkvikw, on the market
for several months past, and also that they were the first
to make the double hook which holds the double rod.
They will be pleased to send samples and quotations on
the double rod as illustrated by them on application.
The proprietors of the Emporium and Golden Rule
Bazar, San Francisco, Cal , have bought the stock and
business of W. H. McNaughton, who conducted a curtain
and upholstery goods department in their premises, Mr.
McNaughton has notified his creditors that in paying for
his stock the proprietors of the Emporium, &c., will
make payments direct to his creditors, or to as many of
them as will accept the terms he offers. These are that
the entire proceeds of the sale shall be distributed pro
rata among the creditors, provided that each creditor shall,
on receipt of his share, give Mr. McNaughton a full release
from all claims. Mr. McNaughton states that if this ar-
rangement is carried out the creditors will realize not less
than 70 per cent, of their claims. If it is not effected h2
will be obliged to go into insolvency.

by Temple, Pemberton, Cordes & Co., dry goods and up-
holstery dealers. The building will be of brick, with a
granite front extending 53^2 feet along Broad street, and

W. P. Atwell, commercial agent at Roubaix, France,
reports to our Government that the embroidery trade at
St. Quentin is rather dull, some factories near there hav-
ing closed. Prices of high class goods have increased.
There ha\'e been large sales of window curtains and
guipure laces at reduced prices, owing to the heavy pro-
duction and dullness of the market.
A window shade operated automatically is a Berlin
novelty. a\ U-shaped tube, partly filled with mercury, is
connected with a bulb containing black wool and one con-
taining air; and when the sun shines the absorption of the
rays by the black wool causes the mercury to rise in the
opposite side of the tube, closing the circuit of a motor
that lets down the blind. When the sun is not out the
mercury is level in the two tubes, closing a circuit that
winds up the blinds.
A new production known as " Lisango," in other words
a mohair velvet, was shown by Lister & Co , Limited, of
Manningham jMills, Bradford, at the Furniture Trades
Exhibition, held last month in London, England. It is
especially commended for upholstery purposes, providing
a surface which is not only extremely durable, but of rich
and artistic appearance and easily kept clean. Large rolls
of it were shown in various tints matching modern fur-
nishing ideas, and in widths ranging from 24 to 72 inches

Apropos of the photograph screens and various other
methods suggested to arrange such en masse, an artistic
photographer says that it is a mistake artisticall}' to put
these pictures together too recklessly. They should bear
some symmetry of arrangement or at least some relation
to each other.
A delightful circular table for a " den " has a segment
cut out for a seat, that fits in and converts it from the
library to the writing table at a very little loss of room.
A single chair of scarlet leather studded with brass nails
is a wonderful brightener to a library or sitting room
whose rather dark furnishings may have grown a little
rusty with wear.
The merging of the business of Hyndmann & Moore
into an incorporated stock company will doubtless be
shortly consummated, and, as stated heretofore in these
columns, Mr. James Pollock, the prominent carpet manu-
facturer, will be interested financially and actively in the
new Hyndmann & Moore concern. The firm now occupy
three floors, 105 by 45 feet, with an additional space of 70
by 45 feet, their plant being located at Coral and Adams
streets, Philadelphia.
The sheriff has received an execution from Kings
County for $10, 805 against Bernard Schaeffel, upholsterer
and real estate operator, of No. 34 West Eighteenth
street, in favor of the German-American Bank of Tona-
wanda, N. Y. The execution is on a judgment for de-
ficiency on the foreclosure sale of eleven houses on Bergen
street, Brooklyn, on which the bank held mortgages.
Mr. Schaeffel's latest operation was the erection of four
flats, Nos. 218 to 224 East Ninety-sixth street, but he
transferred them three months ago to John D. Ritchie for
$135,000; they were heavily mortgaged. Mr. Schaeffel
has been in the upholstery business for twenty years.
Anderson & Tournier have succeeded the Laurence W.
Frank Company, manufacturers of curtains and upholstery
goods, Philadelphia. Laurence W. Frank commenced the
erection of a mill a few months ago, but was obliged to
retire from business owing to ill health and disposed of his
interest to Robert Anderson, a well-known Philadelphia
merchant. Jean Tournier was a member of the former
Laurence W. Frank Comjjany, and is the practical man of
tlie new concern. They have a new mill and new ma-
chinery and show an attractive line of tapestry curtains
and upholstery goods, the mill being located at Oxford and
Mascher streets, Philadelphia.
War broke out early in Providence, K. 1., John C.
Merz, a German upholsterer, who has a little shop in
Gano street, being very much interested in it. The other
afternoon some patriotic boys hung out an American flag
on a clothes pole and were saluting it with a small cannon.
Merz rushed out with an axe and chopped down the pole,
whereupon the boys smashed his windows, and were
about to blow a bar of iron through the house when the
police interfered. Merz made fast time in his retreat.
Stead & Miller have made extensive preparations for the
fall trade by bringing out more than the usual assortment
of new designs and colorings in their various grades of
upholstery fabrics, curtains and table covers. The fall
line will be completed by the middle of this month, and it
is a part of wisdom for all jobbing buyers to view Stead
& Miller's offerings. The new things will be found to be
in harmony with the latest ideas in interior furnishings,
and have the advantage of being prepared by Williain
Milns, who is a member of the firm and a practical
designer.
W. W. Foulkrod, of Hood, Foulkrod & Co., Philadel-
phia, and president of the Trades League, when asked
how members of the National Guard would stand as to
the retention of positions if called into the service of the
United States, said: "Our firm has always taken the
position that it was as much our duty to stand by our em-
ployees who were engaged in defending the country as it
was theirs to answer calls that the Government might
make for their service. We have, perhaps, a score or
more among our employees who are members of the
National Guard. When the State has needed their ser-
vices we have not only given them leave of absence for
whatever time was required, but continued their salaries
while they were in its service. If they were called out by
the United States everyone of our employees could rest
assured that their positions would be held for them until
their return."
WHY THE TAME GOOSE CANNOT FLY.
A.N' Armenian legend thus accounts for the limitations of
the domestic goose :
Once upon a time two geese agreed to take a long jour-
ney together. On the eve of their departure one said to
the other: " Mind you are ready, my friend, for inshallah
fif God will) I shall set out at sunrise to-morrow."
" And so will I, inshallah or not," replied the other.
Next morning the pious goose, having eaten his break-
fast and quenched his thirst in the waters of the stream,
rose lightly on the wing and flew to a distant land. The
impious goose, however, found himself unable to spread
his wings, and, after many vain attempts to fly, was caught
and carried home by a fowler, who had observed his move-
ments. And ever since then the tame goose has lost the
use of his wings because he would not .say inshallah, while
the pious wild goose still enjoys his original freedom.

CONTREXVILLE PRINTED VELVETS AND VELOURS.
"I^ni'; Contrexville Manufacturing Company's new line o(
I printed velvets and velours for the fall trade will be
on view on or before May 15, and will be the finest ever
brought out by the company. The printed efVects com-
prised in it will be shown in from four to ten color com-
binations, each style having seven dilTerent colors. In the
line will be fouiul a wide variety of designs, including
Indian. Persian, scroll, lloral, .Jvc. If a sufficient quantity
is ordered, patterns will be conlincd exclusively, and any
special shades or colors desired can be supplied, as the
eonipanv has its own printing, dyeing and finishing plant.
John F. Meader, the selling agent, has his office at i:>
Leonard street. New York, and the trade are advised to
communicate with him, for the Contrexville velvets and
velours are certain to be in great demand. Mr, Meai,ler
says that the company's business in January, February
and March last was more than double that of the same
months in 1S07, and that the looms are still working on
duplicate orders which will keep them busy until the new
season opens.

LATE CARPET ITEMS.
Wksi.kv II. Hanta, of Van Gaasbeek & Arkell, re-
turned last week from an extended trip to the India rug-
districts and Turkey. While in India Mr. Banta made
arrangements for securing an increased production of
India rugs.
(In page [)'Z of this issue the Dolphin Jute Mills, Pater-
sou, N, J., call attention to their oft'erings in carpet and
rug yarns of all descriptions, which are made in standard
grades and sold at lowest prices. The mills manufacture
also upholsterers' webbing in a variety of grades. The
New Y'ork office of the mills is at 115 Worth street.
Joseph A. Phklan, who is connected with Sheppard
Knapp & Co., New York, is a member of Company K,
Thirteenth Regiment, Brooklyn, which is one of the vol-
unteer organizations selected by Governor Black to go to
the front.
The Kidderminster (ICngland) Shuttle of the lOth ult.
says: "The death of Mr. \\''illiam Jackson, Sr., the sole
surviving partner of the firm of Hoyle & Jackson, of the
Priuirose Bank and Chamber Mills, Oldham, took place
on the "iOth ult. The business is to be carried on by his
executors under the same style of Hoyle &• Jackson and
under the same management."
Thk business of Wm. Judge & Brothers will, we under-
stand, be continued by the reorganized concern, to be
headed and managed b)' the junior Messrs. Judge, sons of
the deceased James and Robert Judge. The new fall line
in all grades is ready and may be seen at the mill, Colum-
bia avenue and Front street, Philadelphia. The concern
will also have offices in New York. Boston, Chicago and
doubtless elsewhere.
Rkkr.K lK: Loo ax. the Ingrain manufacturers, "3411
Howard street, Philadelphia, have their fall line on view.
They are now producing all wool Extra Supers in addition
to their specialty of Unions and Cottons. The latter have
been a notable success through the higher character of
designs and colorings introduced into these grades than is
usual with most manufacturers. As a consequence Ricker
& Logan have sold their Unions and Cottons to some of
the very best dealers in the country. j\Ir. Ricker, of the
firm, is a skillful designer, and personally siipervises the
preparation of the lines, which advantage is shown in
their productions. Mr. Logan is now read}' to meet the
jobbing buyers on fall orders.
W.M. T. S^M■rH. of W. T. Smith & Son, is desirous of
once more smelling pow^der and listening to the roar of
great guns. He left for Key West on the :23d ult., and
hoped to be able to take passage on a dispatch boat or
some other vessel which would enable him to witness the
expected bombardment of Havana. Mr. Smith served
throughout the entire war of the Rebellion, entering the
Fifty-seventh New Y'ork Regiment when a mere lad. His
father, James G. Smith, also served throughout the war,
participating in thirty-two engagements and being-
wounded several times. Speaking of his experience, Mr.
W. T. Smith says that the grandest sight lie has ever
witnessed was the bombardment of Fredericksburg, and
he avers that no matter how brave a man may be the sing-
ing of a UVinch shell in his vicinity w-ill, as Mr. Smith
expresses it. " put the fear of the Lord in his heart."

DESIGNS FOR LACE CURTAfN'S.
rftOM THE " JOUBMAL OF FABftfC%," SBADrOftD, EMOLA'iD,
SKTTEE
vs.
OTTOMAN,
SOME months since we illustrated a folding settee. A
further development of the principle which con
stituted the chief novelty of that invention is shown in
the folding ottoman on this page, in which, by means of
an extremely simple arrangement, a small settee, to
accommodate a couple of occupants, can, at a moment's
notice, be converted into a centre ottoman to hold four
with comfort, provided, of course, that they be of the
average size and weight. Fig. 1 shows the article in its
normal condition; a simple and pretty settee, invested
with a modern quaintness by the introduction of a dainty
curtain suspended from a black iron rod by means of
copper rings.
In Fig. % is indicated this settee when opened out to
afford seats for four, in which position the curtain might
be raised or drawn back to admit of free intercourse
between the occupants of all the seats.
The ground plan. Fig. 3, leaves no doubt as to the
mechanism of the reserve seating when in process of open-
ing out for use, which, as will be evident, consists of an
upholstered semi-circular framing which shuts in under the
fixed seat from the back. This is attached in the centre
to a rounded section of the middle back leg by a collar of
iron or brass, which, being loose, allows the movable seat
to revolve freely either into or out from beneath the per-
manent one. The extra support required to receive the
movable framing when drawn out for use is provided by a
supplementary leg and rail contrivance, hinged to the
centre back foot of the settee. When not required as a
support this can be shut flat against the back, and, if de-
sired, the article placed against the wall. Manufactured
in dark mahogany and upholstered in one of the many
choice printed velveteens now obtainable, this piece of fur-
niture should find a home in many a drawing room.

should be 47^ per cent. The board agreed with them and
reversed the decision of the collector of the port.

coloring, nibbed out or stippled effects. The skill displayed
in the Japanese leather p.'^pers in desig-n, modeling and
treatment of tlie snrface with metal and colors made them
verj' popailar, and the}' have been nsed in place and ont of
place, nntil we are rather overdone with them. A hixnrions
linisli to a w;ill is covering it with silk damask or brocade,
.'ind this plan can be adopted wath more propriety now
the electric light is more general, and tlie dirt ami discol-
oration from gas are got rid of. It n:iay be tre:ited as a
continuous b.and round the room or introduced in the
form of panels. In either case it should be so arranged
AS to have a solid back to prevent the accmnulation
of dust behind it. Lastl}%
I majf refer to tlie hanging of
real tapestry, which has a
value beyond any other wall
covering, either as covering the
ejitire w;ill, siispended from the
top or in panels. No other
decoration is required, and a
tinted Avhite for the woodwork
appears to give tl:e best value
to the tapestry colors. In a
satisfactory sclieme of decoration
tlie tliree primarj? colors, j'el-
low, red and blue, should be in
some degree represented, not
necessaril}' on the walls of the
room, but supplied by the
hangings and furniture. They
need not, however, be repre-
■ sented in their primary condi-
tion, but in the form of sec-
ondaries and tertiaries. Tlie
most useful color for the back-
ground or walls is green, con-
trasting with the furniture of
3-ellow or red browns, with
blue introduced in the hangings.
Yellow, being a primaiy color,
cannot be produced by mix-
ture of other colors; it is an ad-
vancing color, has great power
of reflecting light, and, com-
pounded with red, gives a
range of warm colors, orange
and brown. It diminishes in
power by artificial light, and
for that reason is difficult to
make satisfactory for both daj^
and night effects. It is a delicate
color as a pigment, and is easily
killed by admixture with other
colors. It contrasts powerfulty
with black and may be repre-
sented by gold in a color scheme.
Red is the intermediate prim-
ary coming between yellow
and blue, and in like intermedi-
ate relation also as to light and
shade, white and black. It is
a most positive color, forming, in
combination with yellow, the secondary orange tints;
and with blue the secondaries purple, crimson, i.'tc. It
gives warmth to all colors, especially to yellow. In com-
bination witli yellow it becomes advancing, .and Avith blue
retiring. It is vciy much affected by the quality of the
light in wliich it is viewed. Reds easily spoil one another
side by side, and great skill is required to print one red on
anodier satisfactority. Red lights up by artificial illumina-
tion better than .any other color. Vermillion is the pig-
ment which most nearly represents this primai^'. Blue is
the third primary, and is best represented by the genuine
ultranjarine, which is said to be a true color, neither
inclining to yellow nor to red.
Blue is a retiring color. The
blues most used, on account of the
high price of genuine ultrama-
rine, are cobalt and Prussian
blue, but the former inclines to
purple by artificial light and the
latter to green. These colors are
very useful and pleasant in light
tints for making greens and in
distemper, but as blue lights up
so badly it maj? well be repre-
sented in the color scheme by cur-
tains or carpet. Having gone
throTigh the usual processes in
the decorating of a house, I will
proceed to consider the points
which should influence us in set-
tling on a decorative treat-
ment, and will commence with
the entrance hall. If the house
is suflicieutly large this often
becomes a room, with its entrance
lobby screened oft" and the stair-
case recessed from it or leading
oft' from one side. It may
contain an open fireplace, and
the doors to the principal rooms
open immediately out of it; it
is therefore desirable that the
coloi should be considered in ref-
erence to the ad-
^}\^"' _' *Mat53T-,g joining rooms. As
"""""" " ' the sunniest as-
pects are required
for the living rooms,
that of the hall is
likely to be a north-
ern one, and con-
sequently a warm

an olive cornice and the ceiling a lighter tint of the same.
There would be very little blue or cold color in this ar-
rangement, and the fireplace might suppl)' this in for.m of
blue tiles on a white ground and the gray metal of the
stove. The old-fat-hioned crimson, blue and green Tur-
key carpet would complete the coloring, with a surround-
ing of parquet floor, yellow stain being introduced in the
window glass. The red coloring could be carried up the
staircase above a wall paneling, repeating the handrail on
the wall side, or in the absence of this a wood molding
at this level, with the space below painted a greenish
brown on a simple pattern of embossed paper. This
gives a durable surface where the wall gets most wear,
and the papering above may reasonably be left unvar-
nished, as, except on the score of durability, varnished
papers have nothing to recommend them. The varnish
changes color, and becomes in most cases very unpleasant,
and is more susceptible to changes of temperature than an
unvarnished paper, a sudden change from a cold day to a
hot one covering the walls with moistiire. An oil printed
paper on an oil ground is a good substitute ; it is pleasant
^T- in appearance, and can be sponged without harm. We
"'' °^ seldom see the walls of a staircase paneled out in plaster
or wood. It has a good architectural character, and it is
astonishing what can be done with a few hundreds of feet
of wood molding judiciously disposed on the walls. It is
tedious making a drawing of the four sides of the stairs,
so the best plan is to set out the panels on the walls with
a piece of chalk. Everything above dado level can then
be distempered. Duresco is a good material for the pur-
pose, using the petrifying solution supplied with it. It is
more expensive than ordinary distemper, coming between
that and oil paint, but has the merit when hardened of

being to some extent washable, and it is much less liable
to discoloration from defects in the walls than ordinary
distemper. It isalso pleasant in appearance. .The treat-
ment of the walls of stairs suggested applies rather to old
than new buildings.
In considering the horizontal divisions of the walls of a
room I have in mind the ordinary house, with rooms from
10 feet to 12 feet from floor to ceiling. The necessary
skirting, if with about 6 inches of plain face, is generally
sufficient if of good thickness, with simple mold receding
to the wall, thickness rather than height being required ;
this will keep the furniture away from the walls without
considering what is called the chair rail, which should in
most cases be lower than the back of a chair — from 2 feet
6 inches to 2 feet 9 inches to the top of it. The space
between these two is best of wood, the face of it projected
somewhat from the face of the upper wall. The skirting,
plain or paneled face and rail, should either be of one
color or harmonizing colors of the same depth of tone; to
cut it up into thin lines is a mistake. Above this the
wall may be plain and uninterrupted up to the frieze rail.
This, with the frieze and cornice, about one-seventh the
height of the room, should all be designed together and
kept to about the same tone of color, of sufficient weight
to look like part of the wall. In designing these mold-
ings, mold the top of surfaces below the eye, and the bot-
toms of those above tlie eye. Another division as to
height is to increase the frieze with rail and cornice to
about one-fifth of the height of the room giving the extra
space to the frieze, and if the room is very low, sacrificing
or squeezing the dado. In a drawing room this plan will
be found convenient, as pictures being generally small
will not look well if skied, and the ornamental frieze fur-
nishes and gives interest to the upper part
of the wall. If there is height enough
the cornice moldings can be moderate in
size to form the starting of a cove or hollow,
connecting this cove with other moldings
to form the frame of the ceiling. The cove,
so very general in the French work of
the last century, is much out of fashion, but
is undoubtedly serviceable in softening the
connection between the decoration and
walls and ceiling. If there is not height
enough for a cove the cornice kept down a
few inches from the flat of the ceiling
will give an opportunity, adding recessed
moldings and preventing the sagging ap-
pearance of an absolutely flat ceiling.
For bedrooms the deep frieze arrangement
is very suitable, either with or without
the dado, according to the height of the
room. It is a good plan, when arranging
window casings and architraves, to break the
cornice out so as to form a boxing for the
top of the curtains. The breaks have a good
appearance, give good shadows falling
on the curved surface of the curtains, and
prevent the accumulation of dust. Wall sur-
faces should be squared up; a narrow slip
of paper over door or window architraves is
best got rid of, also the long spandrel

piece over an arch. It is better to break it forward with
a vertical line and break the cornice over it. Soffits of
arches should not be left plain as ceiling, but should be
treated same as arched mold. These are points which
cannot well be carried out unless done at the time of
building. I have often had to ornament a ceiling where
all the moldings have had to be suspended, as it were, on
account of the fixed position of the cornice. In low rooms
the plan of treating the whole chimney breast as a feature
instead of applying the chimneypiece is a good one.
The division of the wall space in the dining room might
conveniently be by a wood skirting, plain face and rail, to
a height of about 2 feet 9 inches (pictures could then, if
of large size, occupy the space up to the frieze rail), the
cornice, frieze and rail, grooved for picture hooks, being
one composition. The heavy, Early- Georgian type of
cornice and dado always appears to suit a dining room.
DINING If it gets the morning sun the main filling of the walls
might be a wall paper two tones of deep green, the ground
being warm in tone, with a lighter and colder print. The
paint a golden green, and the flat of dado a deep, rich
red, inclining to crimson; cornice and frieze tones of
citrine, and the ceiling a still lighter tone. If the owner
of the house has any oil paintings they are likely to be
hung in this room, and the question of the best back-
ground color has to be considered ; this may very well be
studied in the public galleries which we have access to,
and that used in the entrance hall of the National Gallery
appears to me the most satisfactory. It is a flock paper
printed in two tones of a mellow, dark green, inclining to
olive. It is there very pleasantly contrasted with dull red
marble columns. Both the color and texture contrast
well with the oil paintings, and give the very greatest
value to them.
The decoration of the drawing room should be bright
and cheerful, and should light up well. (Here light or
white paint is in place.) For this room the mistress of
the house must be consulted, and the various parts thought
out with furniture, hangings and carpets, to make the
picture complete when furnished and occupied. Should
DRAWING the lady be a brunette a cream paint and walls of a yellow
tone may be suitable. If a blonde a bluish gray or gray
green. The architectural paneling out of the walls of a
room is but little practiced now, although nothing gives
such size and dignity to an apartment, whether by fram-
ing with large panels or by painted styles and rails. The
tendency of late has been to ignore symmetry and to in-
dulge in corners and recesses, and small windows in odd
places, by which a certain picturesqueness is obtained,
but unbecoming crosslights are developed, and a mere
prettiness without dignity is the result. There is little
fear of stiffness in the drawing room, and when the furni-
ture and upholster}' come the severe lines of an architec-
tural treatment of the walls will be pleasantly contrasted.
The deep frieze treatment for bedrooms is generally
most convenient, and the chief characteristic of the color-
ing should be freshness. Here white paint, which in sit-
ting rooms makes the furniture, hangings and carpets
look dirty, is in place, and should be the standard of clean-
liness and freshness generally in the room. The space
ROOMS, above the picture rail looks quite well in plain distemper,
but may have a running frieze in colors with good effect,
and in the ceiling I would plead for a little ornamentation
to relieve the absolute blankness, which is so very general.
Color is too subtle and indefinite to talk about with advan-
tage. Color is relative ; there is no such thing as a bad
color when regarded alone, as there may be a situation
where that particular color would be the best in combina-
tion with others for its position. A parti-colored suite will
keep fresh longer than a suite of one color, and the same
holds good in decoration. Contrasting colors enhance the
value of one another, and it is quite possible by altering
one color in a decorated wall or ceiling to give freshness
to the whole, which before may have looked dirty and
worn out. The colored decoration of a room should be
the conception of one mind, and the plan I advise is to
make your scale sketch and stick to it as you would to
your one-eighth scale drawings in a building. In practice
this cannot always be carried out, and it comes to doing the
best you can under the circumstances. What I should
like to impress upon all who are not in the habit of doing
so is that a constant study of color brings great enjoyment
with it. The critical faculty can be used everywhere.
As you study old buildings to improve your sense of form
and proportion, study natural objects for improving your
color sense. The most unlovely object, if left alone, will
be covered by nature with the most beautiful colors, and
the book is open for our delight.
Wm Hill, formerly superintendent for Bradford &
Budder, Philadelphia, has started in the manufacture of
tapestry curtains, covers, piece goods, &c., at Mascher
and York streets, that city. Mr. Hill's two sons, George
and Roland, are associated with him in the business.
In some handsome libraries recently have been seen
writing tables covered with velvet in.stead of felt, or even
the polished wood tops. The velvet is always of some
very dark, rich shade, and is put on with the narrow gilt
band that is usually seen, and the effect of the velvet, with
the high finish of the wood, and set out with the glittering
appointments of the modern writing table, is exceedingly
good.
JAMES S Chalmers, Morris Benson's assistant in the
upholstery department of Adam, Meldrum & Ander-
son, Buffalo, was recently married in Watertown, N. Y.,
to Miss Ada B. Connell. Before the couple started for
Buffalo, on the evening of the wedding, a number of the
bride's friends decorated their trunks at R. W. and O.
R. R. with chenille and laces and they quietly handed a
card to every passenger on the train. It read as follows;

To say that the bridal party were overwhelmed with
attention during their journey is stating it mildly. All
the world loves a lover. Mr. Chalmers' associates in the
department made him some very handsome presents in
the shape of furniture.

PATCHOGUE NOT BOMBARDED.
ABOUT midnight on April IS the thriving- town of Patch-
ogue was rude]}' awakened from its slumbers by a
tremendous explosion, which led some of the inhabitants
to believe that the bombardment of the south side of Long
Island was in progress. When at daylight they found the
region at the lower end of Main street covered with
lace curtains and the trees for hundreds of yards around
decorated with the same materials, their fears were dis-
sipated.
The Review representative reached the town soon after
10 A. M., and found everything going on at the Patchogue
Lace Manufacturing Company as usual, although the re-
sults of the explosion were very evident.
The cover of one of the large vats in which lace curtains
are boiled immediately after coming from the loom had
been blown off by the failure of the safety valve to work.
About a thousand pairs of low grade goods were in the
boiler. The cover was sent through the roof of the bleach-
ing house and the windows were also blown out. A 20
foot section of 6 inch iron pipe was thrown up a couple of
hundred feet and on coming down was driven 3 feet into
the groimd. The engineer and night watchman had left
the building a few moments before and no one was hurt.
In fact the operators in the weave room a few feet away
knew nothing of the accident, the noise of the looms pre-
venting them from hearing the explosion.
The loss is not serious, as the repairs will not cause
great delay, and the goods were all recovered and can be
restored. It is, moreover, fortunate that the explosion did
not happen in the day time, as the large force of girls in
other departments might possibly have been panic stricken.
W. & J. SLOANE'S UPHOLSTERY OFFERINGS.
rHE offerings of the Oldham Mills in draperies and fur-
niture coverings for the coming season are now on
view in the wholesale upholstery department of W. & J.
Sloane, and Manager Smith may well be congratulated on
the superb lines comprised in these offerings. The goods
afford a splendid illustration of the remarkable progress
which has been made in the manufacture of upholstery
fabrics in this country.
The lines of silk damasks and brocade are certain to at-
tract special attention, being replete with new, original
and highly effective ideas in designs and colorings. In
all the higher grades period designs are a prominent
feature, Louis XIV., Louis XV. and Louis XVI. being
all represented. In cotton tapestries Mr. Smith shows
a remarkably attractive assortment of novelties and
specialties, embracing a wide range of new designs,
each in four or five colorings, and equal in every respect
to the French goods.
The demand for Oldham Mills fabrics is steadily and
rapidly increasing. Last season was the most successful
one in the history of the mills, and the looms are still run-
ning on spring orders.
TRADE GOSSIP.
The new mill, 139 and 141 Oxford street, Philadelphia,
constructed originally for the Laurence W. Frank Com-
pany, for the purpose of weaving high grade curtains,
table covers, upholstery and decorative goods, has been
completed and is now in full operation. The firm has
been reorganized and the business will henceforth be con-
ducted tinder the firm title of Anderson & Tournier.
They have one of the finest and best equipped mills in the
country, and have placed twelve of the latest Knowles
looms in position. Mr. Tournier holds the same position
as practical , end man that he did in the first firm
organization.
J. J. Davis is a new upholsterer at Memphis, Tenn.
The upholstery departments of Philadelphia are already
complaining that they
cannot get their usual
supply of awning mate-
rial for spring trade, be-
cause the Government
has monopolized nearly
all the duck looms in
the county for the weav-
ing of material for
army tents.
A furniture and up-
holstery establishment
has been opened at
Charlestown, W. Va.,
by G. T. Knight.
To impart a cozy air
to a room with a high
ceiling, there should be
no frieze, a picture
molding ending the side
wall finish about 18
inches below the ceil-
ing line, and this space
should be thrown into
the ceiling scheme. This has the effect to take off mate-
rially from the height of the room.
Davis & Hancock, manufacturers of silk and tapestry
curtains, table covers, &c., who are removing their plant

ELABORATE ARRANGEMENT FOR A WINDOW.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review.
A PAPER HANGING MACHINE.
^PER hanging by machine is the latest
achievement. The arrangement used
foi this purpose is provided with a
rod upon which the roll of paper is
placed. A paste receptacle with a
blushing arrangement is attached in
such a manner that the paste is ap-
plied automatically on the back of
the paper. The end of the wall paper
IS fixed at the bottom of the wall,
and the implement rises on the wall and only needs to be
set by one workman. While the wall paper unrolls, and,
provided with paste, is held against the wall, an elastic
roller follows on the outside which presses it firmly to the
wall. When the wall paper has reached the top, the
workman pulls a cord, whereby it is cut off from the re-
mainder of the roll.

a decorating business at 41 West 12oth street. In De-
cember last a judgment for $267 was obtained against Miss-
Henderson by the Standard Wall Paper Company, and
Sheridan S. Norton was appointed receiver for her prop-
erty in the matter pending action in supplementary pro-
ceedings. Mr. Norton notified the defendant that she
would have to turn over all her property to him, and also
any collections that she might make from outstanding ac-
counts. This Mr. Norton alleges she failed to do. Miss
Henderson denies that she has collected money from out-
standing accounts, and says that she has no property to
turn over to the receiver.
THE NATIONAL WALL PAPER COMPANY.
RD. Carey, a director of the National Wall Paper Com-
• pany, was questioned recently by a reporter for a
daily paper in regard to the action of the company at
its meeting in New York lately. He said: "All the
company's factories have been busy this year, and I am
sure we have made more goods than last year, but the
prices have been lower. I do not think there is any
doubt that the books will show big profits, but we will
have to wait until they are closed on June 30 to make sure
before we declare any dividends. According to our
charter we are compelled to earn a profit before paying
indebtedness on bonds or stock. After the books are
balanced by our own bookkeepers English expert account-
ants are called in to go over the accounts. If sufficient
profit is then shown the dividends are then declared and a
sworn statement filled with State officials. The company-
has been kept poor by being forced to buy up the plants
of outside manufacturers. This of course takes a great
deal of capital, and is one reason why nothing has ever
been paid on common stock."
In regard to statements current to the effect that the
company had defaulted on the interest on its bonds, Presi-
dent Henry Burns said: "The company has issued no
bonds whatever, and has therefore not defaulted on the
interest of same. The interest on its debenture stock, to
which reference is probably intended, has been earned
and paid to the beginning of the present fiscal year.
Whether or not it has earned the interest on the debenture
stock for the current year cannot be determined until the
books are closed at the end of the year, and no interest is
due or becomes payable until such fact has been de-
termined."

The Philadelphia Tapestry Mills plant is extensive and
well adapted to the requirements of their great business
progress. Success is not often achieved by chance, cer-
tainly not so in this instance. The Philadelphia Tapestry
Mills have secured a position in the front rank in the
manufacture of upholstery fabrics by untiring industry
and push, by that go-ahead activeness that is character-
istic of American enterprise. There is nothing like doing
one thing, and doing it well. The Philadelphia Tapestry
Mills make upholstery fabrics ; they live in an atmosphere
of upholstery goods. They give all their time and thought
to the improvement of quality and to the invention of
some new ideas in design and finish. They announce
that they have produced for fall, 1898, the largest and
handsomest line of fabrics that have ever been offered by

A JUDICIOUS INVESTMENT.
The Best Economy in your Carpet Room
can only be secured by using the most perfect appliances, of the simplest
desim and the best construction.
Experience Has Proven the Fact
that the SINGER AUTOMATIC POWER CARPET SEWER will save its
cost in one year to any carpet dealer having enough business to require a hand
machine. THE SINGER AUTOflATIC is now in use by dealers who saved
its cost during the first six months of its operation.
A TRIUMPH OF MECHANICAL EFFICIENCY, STJUPASSING ALE OTHER DEVICES FOR ITS PURPOSE.
Truly automatic, requires less labor and se^\s 40 per cent.
more carpet than any other machine on the market.
Requires least floor space, and uses any form of power.
Makes perfect stitch and seam, sewing any kind of carpet.
Automatic Matching and
Clamping Device.********
This device is absolutely unique, and secures perfect stretching
and matching, without necessity for expert labor. It is simpler,
swifter and in every way more effective than any other way of
handling a carpet. The sewing machine works automatically on
its track, following the operator from section to section as fast as
each is matched and clamped, the action of the clamping levers
automatically governing the movement of the sewing machine,
thus saving a great deal of time
This is not a Hand Machine Crudely Adapted to Power Operation*
Our Hand Machine is well known, and is still on the market, fully guaranteed to be the best
and most practical in use.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1, 1898.
We have prepared and are showing for Fall 1898 the largest line of Uphol-
stery Fabrics that our mills have ever produced. The Buyer of Upholstery Goods
may be absolutely sure that here he consults a line that is without a peer in
completeness and perfection of assortment. He may be reasonably sure that all
our goods represent as good, if not better, intrinsic value than can be found
outside; otherwise experience, study and our ability to manufacture large
quantities of goods have been of little avail.
Correct styles, skillful manufacturing and low price are sure guarantee
of the satisfaction that can be depended on by buyers of our goods.
A magnificent collection of Table Covers, Curtains, Piece Goods and Couch
Covers is offered for the Fall, and the styles shown here will not be found
duplicated elsewhere.
It is clear that the buyer who does not know the great variety of goods
that we are making has not been fully alive to what is going on around that
should concern him.

MODERN UPHOLSTERIES.
It is evident that buyers are becoming more convinced every season that it
does not pay to purchase foreign made Upholstery and Drapery Fabrics
when they can buy American made goods of equal quality and superior
styles at considerably less money, That our productions for the
FALL OF 1898
will substantiate the correctness of this assertion
we leave to the judgment of the Trade and invite the most careful
comparison between them and imported fabrics.

have the extra smoothness and finish peculiar
to moulded goods. We carry the regular sizes

have a very complete assortment of moulds for
special sizes and thicknesses, and are prepared
to supply on short notice treads for any and all
purposes.
The cut shows tread in position, with metal
nosing on edge of step. This protects both
step and rubber and gives a neat finish, espe-
cially if brass nosings are used. We supply
these last, and also galvanized iron nosings.
Cut treads furnished to order in all sizes and
shapes. No ch.irge made for cutting.

BIQELOW CARPET COMPANY.
AXMINSTER,
WILTON AND BRUSSELS
-^) CARPETS. '^
The Carpets made by this Company have received the highest award wherever exhibited,
including Gold Medals at the Paris Exposition, 1878, and at the Centennial, 1876.
Their deserved reputation for excellence of fabric, richness and durability of color, novelty and
beauty of design, has led to frequent infringements, and inferior goods have often been palmed off
in their stead. For the protection of the public the Company has adopted as a trade mark the word
" BIGELOW," which will be woven (at every repeat of the pattern) in white capitals into the back
of the fabric. Customers will therefore have merely to examine the back of a carpet to be certain
that they are getting the genuine Bigelow goods.
THESE GOODS CAN' BE HAD FROM ALL, FIRST-CLASS DEALERS.

^^"Our readers are urged to remember that we are
always desirous to receive communications of interest to
the carpet or upholstery trades, such as changes in firms
or managers, the bidlding or opening of new stores,
mprovements in old ones, the adding of new departments,
improved methods of doing business, new inventions, sug-
gestions as to the cutting, making and laying of carpets,
the designing and fitting of draperies, or inquiries and
dissertations relating to the technical or commercial details
of the trades to which this periodical is devoted.
THE TRADE SITUATION.
I T has been our custom to publish at this date the price
' lists for the fall season, but the conditions now ruling
render it impossible for us to say much that is definite on
this point at present.
Prices of Wiltons and Brussels remain unchanged.
Values of Velvets and Tapestries are unsettled, awaiting
further developments. But it is certain that the present
suspense cannot continue long.
The Philadelphia manufacturers of Extra Supers say
that as they did not advance prices at the opening of the
spring season they see no necessity for following any re-
ductions made now. They say that it is, moreover, im-
possible for them to do so on account of the increased cost
of wool, which is beginning to be the dominant factor
in the situation, all the old wool in their hands having been
worked into goods.
The auction sale of Smith carpeting is referred to in de-
tail elsewhere in this issue. The sale up to the time of its
adjournment was a success, and there is no reason to fear
that the goods still to be offered will not be readily ab-
sorbed at satisfactory prices — all things considered — as
was the great quantity disposed of before the adjourn-
ment.
The manufacturers' new lines are ready as a rule and
many of their travelers are now on the road. About June
1 prices of all carpeting will doubtless be settled definitely,
and as business conditions generally are exceptionally
favorable, there is no danger that the war, whether short
or long, will interfere with the demand for floor coverings,
but on the contrary there is everj^ reason for beUeving
that the fall trade will be of unusually large proportions.
COMPARATIVE STABILITY OF INGRAIN PRICES.
As noted in our editorial article, the decline in prices of
Tapestries and Velvets finds the Philadelphia Ingrain
manufactur'ers in a position where they must stand firm or
make but a very Uttle difference in their fall prices as
compared with the ruling quotations of the spring season.
This position is due to the narrow margin between cost
and selling price, and it is bej'ond question that the cost
is too near the latter to allow of any wild and abnormal
fluctuation of the selling price. In this respect, therefore,
Ingrain carpets to-day are as stable value in the stock of
any dealer as any grade of carpeting, if not more stable.
The Carpet Trade Review.
For several years past, with the exception of the year 1897,
the variations in a season have not been over ^}i cents
per j^ard, while the variation of 1897, which resulted in an
advance of 5 to 7^ cents per yard, was in favor of the
the dealer as increasing the value of his stock on hand.
The stability of value in the all-wool Ingrain is owing
to the set value of the wool contained in it. Whatever
permanent basis of values is reached by carpetings within
the next thirty days, we think experience will prove the
correctness of our assertions regarding the stability of In-
grains.
THE LOWELL PRICE LIST.
THE Lowell Company has not yet issued its new price
list, but its Three Plys and Extra Supers are reduced
2^ cents a yard from the list of the spring season.
PATTERNS COUNT.
ONE of the best demonstrations ever given that there
is a value in a pattern of carpeting was the experi-
ence of the recent big auction sale. The best patterns
brought anywhere from 2}^ to 15 cents per yard more
than the poor patterns, and the activity in bidding on pat-
terns which were known to be good sellers was very evi-
dent; in fact, many buyers seemed to be determined to
secure the special patterns which they had marked for
purchase, the consequence being that some numbers
brought an exceptionally good price. This is evident by
a pattern in Moquettes selling at 71 cents, a difference of
15 cents per yard from the lowest price of Moquettes.
This development of the sale is an encouragement
to manufacturers to pay increasing attention to patterns
and colorings, and while it is impossible for any concern
not to turn out some poor patterns, yet liberality in design
expenditures and the proper skill in the patterning depart-
ment will certainly count in the manufacturer's favor.

declaration of war and spent a few weeks in New York
afterward. Mr. C. B. Judd, with Mrs. Judd, spent the

ARNOLD, CONSTABLE & CQ.
IN the rug. Ingrain and matting department of Arnold,
Constable & Co. the offerings prepared by Mr. Hockridge
for the fall trade have never been equaled before in the his-
tory of the house.
In rugs two entirely new lines are shown, the Arling-
tons and the Ellores. The Arlington rugs are made of
Bigelow Imperial Axminster, in three sizes, as follows:
20x36 inches, 27x54 inches, and 36x63 inches. They are
made by the Bigelow Company for Arnold, Constable &
Co. exclusively, and comprise a choice assortment of new,
original patterns in Oriental and floral styles. The Ellores
are a new grade of Japanese wool rugs, made especially
for the firm, in about a dozen sizes, in a variety of Ori-
ental styles, reproducing the rich shades and other charac-
teristic features of the Persian, Indian, Ghiordes and other
noted Oriental rugs Lowell Daghestans in new patterns
are as usual a prominent feature, as are also the Selkirk
Wiltons, and the Hartford Axminsters in carpet sizes, these
goods being shown only by Arnold, Constable & Co. A
notable line of mohair rugs is offered, the goods being
made in four sizes, with astrakan centres and silk mohair
borders. Other makes of rugs shown include the Eno-
shimas, Nubias, Irans, &c., Japanese goods in blue and
white and olive and white being a prominent feature.
In Smyrnas the offerings include two grades, the West-
morelands and the Royal Axminsters, both being shown
in a wide range of new and handsome patterns. Sheep-
skin, goatskin and animal skin rugs are offered in a wide
variety of grades and styles.
As especially extensive importers of Chinese and Japan-
ese mattings, Arnold, Constable & Co. can offer very im-
portant inducements to the trade. They carry complete
lines in all grades and can inake immediate deliveries.
Attention is called to their great range of patterns in
Japanese staple cotton warps, and various novelties, and
specialties in Chinese and Japanese goods, which are not
to be found elsewhere.
JAS. & GEO. D. BROMLEY.
THE new creations of James & George D. Broinley in
the various grades of goods they produce are before
the trade for the fall season. The mills of the Messrs.
Bromley are prolific in special weaves, all of them being
noted for quality, and their construction renders them won-
derfully adapted to elaborate coloring and shading. The
'■ Arals" and the " Agras " are still at the front and the
new patterns will convince all buyers of first-class carpets
that the hand of the modern designer has not lost its cun-
ning or the shader his artistic taste in the combination of
colors. Following close after the "Arals" and the"Agras "
come the "Altas," the "Calmucs" and the "Aleppos,"
all fully up to the high standard of design and color always
exhibited in the productions of the Albion Mills.
T. J. Keveney & Co., 898 and 900 Broadway, New York,
are the sole agents for these goods. They are also on
exhibition at Room 732, Witherspoon Building, Juniper,
Walnut and Sansom streets, Philadelphia, where H. A.
Davis is in charge.
John A. Cole & Son are new agents for Dornan
Brothers in St. Louis and the Southwest, the covering of
which territory is a new departure for the Messrs. Dornan.

Fire destroyed $150 worth of stock in the carpet and
furniture store of M. B. Evens & Co. at. 379 Grand street,
Brooklyn, on the 11th inst.
Mr. R. P. Perkins, vice-president of the E. S. Higgins
Carpet Company, says that the business of the company
has been remarkably large, and that it has never before
sold so many goods at this season of the year.
The Royal Carpet Lining Company, Providence, R. I.,
has been incorporated, as announced in the last issue of
The Review. The capital stock is $75,000 and the in-
corporators are Wra. A. Mauran, Suchet Mauran and Wm.
Mauran, Jr. Herbert Plimpton, 115 Worth street, is sell-
ing agent for the company.
F. B. Bru Baker has consummated a contract with the
Deutsche Linoleum Werke Hansa, of Delmenhofst, near
Bremen, Germany, to represent them in the United States.
He expects samples of linoleums to arrive this week, when
he will offer them to the trade. Mr. Bru Baker has also
become New York agent for Judge Brothers Carpet Com-
pany, and will cover the territory in New York State and
Michigan.
Paul P. Filipachi, who has been in the wholesale Ori-
ental rug trade for many years past, is now acting as a
buying and selling factor in the New York market. His
services are at the disposal of buyers in aiding in the
selection and purchasing of Oriental rugs, while he also
has intimate relations with several large importing houses,
and can acquaint buyers with information as to choice lots
and values. Mr. Filipachi may be communicated with at
18 East Seventeenth street. New York.
Some of " the boys " in Joseph Wild & Co.'s went over
to Brooklyn one day during the past week to see the New
Yorks take a ball from the Brooklyns, and they in-
duced ' ' Dan " Ward to accompany them. Now it is a
long while since "Dan" had seen a professional game of
baseball, and he had forgotten almost everything he ever
knew about the sport. He pelted "the boys" with all
sorts of questions about the different plays, but capped
the climax when he asked why they had two catchers for
one pitcher. He had mistaken Umpire Lynch, who was
"close up" after two strikes had been called on the bat-
ter, for a second catcher. Now "the boys" are taking
up a subscription to buy a book of rules for D. P. W.
Joseph B. MacElroy, of MacElroy & Scholes, the
Philadelphia Ingrain manufacturers, put in a good week's
work in New York during the auction sale and. as some
one remarked, looked as fresh at the end of the week as at
the beginning.
F. A, Norway, head of the carpet department of Wm.
Donaldson & Co., Minneapolis, was the only buyer from
that city attending the big auction sale. Mr. Norway
secured a number of choice lots in carpets and rugs at low
prices and hurried home to make a special sale of same.
Frank Schlegel, of the Chicago office of S. Sanford &
Sons, made his usual semi-annual visit to the New York
headquarters week before last. His stay was unpleasant,
owing to having to undergo an operation for an abscess of
the leg while in town. Mr. Schlegel is about, however,
and will attend to his fall trip as usual.
David C. Litt, manager of Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co.'s
wholesale carpet department, and his leading salesman,
John S. Luthy, were early and late attendants at the
auction sale during its entire sessions. Mr. Litt says his
large spring trade found him prepared to purchase goods
and that he will enter the fall season in good shape to
compete for business.
Charles J. Lincoln, of the selling force of Thos. Potter,
Sons & Co., and son of George M. Lincoln, head of John
Wanamaker's New York carpet department, is now serv-
ing his country on the auxiliary cruiser Yankee. Mr.
Lincoln was a member of the New York Naval Reserves,
and is now fully enlisted in the United States naval ser-
vice. He was among the first to volunteer and all who
know him feel sure that he will make a determined fighter.
The State Commission recently appointed by Governor
Black to represent New York State at the fair to be held
in Omaha this summer called the Merchants' Association
into conference recently at Dr. Depew's office in the Grand
Central Station. The conference was called for the pur-
pose of enlisting the interest of the Merchants' Associa-
tion in making New York's representation at the Omaha
fair a success and for the more direct purpose of helping
the commission raise the funds required to make a sue-

cessful representation on behalf of New York State. The
Merchants' Association, through President King, agreed
to co-operate, Mr. King pledging a subscription of $3,000
as the proportion of the Merchants' Association toward the
fund which the commission wants to raise.
The Persian Rug Manufactory makes by hand and to
order all sizes of rugs and Chenille Axminster carpets, in
special designs and colorings, adapted particularly for first
class trade. Samples are on view in the new salesrooms, at
898 Broadway, southeast corner of Tvi'entieth street, the
concern having removed from Fifth avenue.
At the annual election of officers and committee mem-
bers of the Chamber of Commerce, on theoth inst. , James
M. Constable was chosen as a member of the board of
trustees having charge of the real estate of the Chamber
of Commerce, Charles S. Smith was made chairman of
the executive committee and James McCreery was elected
as a member of the committee on foreig-n commerce.
Exports of carpeting and kindred goods from the port
of New York during the past four weeks were as follows:
Carpeting — Southampton, 3pkgs, , $150; London, 3pkgs.,

New Branch Station S of the general post office, at the
southeast corner of Broadway and Howard street, was
opened on the 9th inst. It takes in the district bounded
by Broome, Sullivan, Canal, Church and Worth streets
and the Bowery. . It will be one of the most important
stations in the city, and will greatly relieve the general
post office. The Review office is in the new district, and
our correspondents will facilitate the handling of our mail

Colfax Council, No. 1220, Royal Arcanum, which is
commonly known as the carpet men's council, entertained
the new Grand Regent on the 11th inst. The notice to
members read as follows:

gent and staff; also to assist in bombarding the good

The old Melrose Lyceum, a Morrisania landmark at
2892 Third avenue, was partly destroyed by fire on the 5th
inst. The flames spread with such rapidity that the entire
fire fighting force in the Borough of the Bronx and strong
reinforcements from Harlem were called out. The old
building had long ceased to be used as a hall and was oc-
cupied by two carpet and furniture dealers — Anna An-
derson on the first floor, and the second floor — the build-
ing has but two stories — was used by Peyser & Co., fur-
niture dealers at Westcliester and Third avenues, as a
storage room. The fire destroyed the stock in Anderson
& Co.'s store and ruined a large quantity of carpets be-
longing to Peyser & Co. For a. time it looked as if the
buildings on either side of 2892 would be totally destroyed
and the whole block wiped out. The firemen worked
hard, however, and after an hour's fighting had the blaze
under control. The damage to Anderson's stock amounted
to between $5,000 and $6,000 and to the stock of Peyser
& Co. about $12,000. The building was damaged to the
extent of $7,000.
ANOTHER AUCTION SALE OF
SMITH CARPETING, MAY 31.
MR. WALTER W. LAW MAKES SOME REMARKS ON THE SALE AND THE
PLANS OF THE ALEXANDER SMITH & SONS CARPET COMPANY.
THE auction sale of Smith carpeting, which was ad-
journed on the 7th inst., will be resumed May 31,
The offerings will consist of Moquettes, Axminsters,
Savonneries, Ne Plus Ultra carpeting and rugs, Moquette
rugs and mats, Tapestries and Velvets. The lots will be
put up in such proportions as to be within reach of all,
and enough goods will be added in all grades made by the
Alexander Smith & Sons Carpet Company to induce every
buyer to be present, no matter what distance he may have
to come. All the lots sold will be running patterns, those
discontinued having been disposed of at the previous auc-
tion sale.
Wilmerding, Morris & Mitchell will act as the auc-
tioneers, and the sale will beheld, as before, at Nos. 37 to
41 East Eighteenth street, beginning at 10 o'clock a. m.
and closing at 4.30 p. m. each day, as announced in the
official auction notice in this issue :
In answer to the questions of a Review representative
regarding the sale, Mr. Walter W. Law, of W. & J.
Sloane, said:
The sale of last week was very satisfactory to the Smith Company.
Some of the prices were low, but they have no complaint to make of
the general average. The purpose of the auction was fully realized
in the readiness with which the trade purchased the goods. All
doubt was dispelled of there being a ready market for the carpets of
this company after the first two days. The gloom and uncertainty
which the war cloud had cast over the carpet trade were far less in-
fluential than the revived condition of the country's prosperity. It
was our conviction from the first that it only needed this belief to be
put to the test and the result has fully justified our forecast. The
country at large has always taken the Smith Company's fabrics
freely, and now that their popularity is more firmly established than
ever before we had faith enough and courage enough to let the trade
at large put their own prices on them and are well satisfied with the
result. It was a matter of regret that the whole of the lots could not
be sold during the week, as we were anxious to have the verdict of
the trade on our new patterns, which, after an experience of twenty-
five years, we can truly say form the best line we ever had. In-
stead of resuming the sale on the following Monday it was deemed
better not to tax our friends to remain in town over Sunday, and we
therefoie deferred the remainder to a future day, when enough will
be added to the sample lots to make the sale worthy the attention of
buyers from all parts of the country. This will undoubtedly be by
far the most attractive auction sale ever held, as it will contain
nothing but new and choice patterns and will take place on Tues-
day, the 31st inst., and following days. We hope this sale, together
with the daily sales now being freely made, will clean up our stock
completely, but should there be any balance remaining on July 1
we shall have no hesitation in resorting to the same method for their
disposal, it being a determination of the company to wind up the
season free from stock, feeling sure that the revived condition of
the country, together with the policy they will hereafter adopt, will
prevent the accumulation of surplus — certainly to so large a degree
as heretofore.

Crompton and Knowles looms, so long and favorably
known to the manufacturing fraternity. The change will
greatly simplify the business of furnishing parts and sup-
plies to those in need of them, as Billington & Co. have a
large store and greater facilities for attending to that
branch of business. The Crompton & Knowles Loom
Works have an office adjoining Billington & Co.'s store,
fully equipped for the convenience of the many friends
and customers of the works. This office will be in charge

HARTFORD CARPET COMPANY'S OFFERINGS.
MESSRS. Reune Martin & Sons on page 17 of this issue
call attention to the fall styles of the Hartford Car-
pet Company. No new grades of goods are announced,
the company being quite satisfied with their fabrics, which
have become so well known. Their Axminster line shows
so radical a change that it is no wonder it stands alone and
apart as compared with some goods of the same name and
varying qualities. Striking designs and novel colorings —
each complementary to the other, with variety sufficient for
the largest business — combine to make this a line without
which a stock is not complete.
In Brussels, Ingrains and Art Squares the same care
regarding details is apparent in each pattern, and the re-
sult is such in variety and excellence as to become a mar-
vel as the output of a single mill.
May this mill and its agents meet with the success they
so well merit.
DORNAN BROTHERS.
THE new offerings of Dornan Brothers' Monitor Mills,
Howard and Oxford streets, Philadelphia, for the
coming season are ready and will soon be before the trade
throughout the country.
Many new and striking features will be observed in all
the various fabrics- the Monitor Mills are producing.
Truly unique color effects have been introduced in the
extra Ingrains which will surely win the favor of the trade.
The other grades of Ingrains are not behind in design,
coloring and general effect. In all that goes to make up
attractive and truly artistic effects they will be found fully
up to the better grades.
The new effects in the 4-4= Brussels are very artistic in
both design and color combination. The peculiar con-
struction of this new fabric admits of the introduction of
any number of colors, and consequently effects are pro-
duced in them which vie with the best efforts in Brussels
goods, from which they derive their name. The Art
Squares, made in the same grade and quality, will find
their place among the many other offerings in the same
line. The border effects in these goods are sure to be
favorably noticed by the first-class dealers in the retail
line.
One of the specialties produced by the Monitor Mills is
their superior quality of all-wool terries or solid colored
Ingrain carpets. The variety of tints which they produce
and the perfect purity and evenness of the colors are not
often seen in this class of goods. Their success in this
department is truly wonderful.
L. C. Waterman & Sons, Hanover, Mass , are exten-
sive manufacturers of tacks for carpet and upholstery pur-
poses, and have long been noted for the superior quality
of their product. Write to them for prices, &c.
Dornan Brothers will show on the road for fall their
new line of five-frame Brussels Art Squares in an assort-
ment of ten handsome patterns and a great variety of
colorings. They will be prepared to meet the demand for
the goods as developed by the orders received.
The Carpet Trade Review.
The affairs of the James H. Walker Company are again
in the courts. Last week Frederick Victor & Achelis,
judgment creditors of the concern to the ex-
Chlcago, tent of $4,092, filed a bill in the Circuit
May 9. Court, in which they sought to reopen the
settlement of the affairs of the company. The
defendants are, besides the company, William B. 'Howard,
William A. Mason, Charles C. Lay, Irving I. Hartz and
the executors of Columbus R. Cummings, deceased. It
is alleged that preferences were made on the books to
Columbus R. Cummings and W. A. Ma.son immediately
before the application for a receiver, and the complainants
contend that the profits from the sale of the assets should
be applied to the reduction of the indebtedness of the
company.
W. K. Smith will leave for New York in a day or so to
get ready for his trip.
Frank Schlegel and Walter Treloar, of S, Sanford &
Sons' Chicago office, returned from New York a day or
so ago and are both busily engaged in getting their sam-
ples ready for the summer trip.
What is said to be the largest United States flag in the
world is to be unfurled by John M. Smyth at his store
on West Madison street. It is 75 feet long and 40 feet
wide and contains 800 yards of bunting. On one side are
large portraits of Washington, Jackson, Robert E. Lee
and Grant, and on the other of Decatur, Paul Jones and
Perry. R. H. H.
JOHN GAVS SONS.
AT their Park Mills, Howard and Norris streets, Phila-
delphia, the Messrs. Gay have ready their offerings in
Ingrains for the fall trade, and their agents will soon ex-
hibit them to the buyers throughout the country. The new
offerings are the result of special pains to create new and
attractive styles. Aside from the old weaves, which are
always good and fill the position for which they are in-
tended most admirably, we wish to call the attention of
retail dealers to the new fabrics lately put forth. The
peculiar construction of the goods renders them not only
extremely durable but especially adapted to the production
of the most elaborate designs known, and enables the
manufacturers to draw upon both ancient and modern art
for their coloring and tint shading. The old-fashioned
effects are completely surpassed in these new productions,
as these admit of the introduction of any number of color
tints without danger of partially destroying the outline of
the designs by the appearance of stripes at the same time.
The Rajahs and the Flemish Tapestries have come to
stay, and every season will give new proof of the wonder-
ful improvement made in the production of Ingrain
carpets.
The present offerings of the Messrs. Gay cover a wide
extent of style and coloring, embracing the small figures
in quiet, self-toned tints and extending to the larger de-
signs which admit of an elaborate brilliancy of colorings
so much admired in these days.

famous for many years.
Chas. H. P. Lyman died on the 13th inst. at Green-

SKILLED BUYING AT THE AUCTION.
TEFFT, WELLER & CO.'S STOCK.
To observers at the big auction sale one of the most
noticeable features was the exceptional skill and
judgment displayed by Mr. Samuel M. Kennard, of the
J. Kennard & Sons Carpet Company, St. Louis. While
Mr. Kennard was not a leader in the bidding, he was most
assuredly a leader in the buying, and doubtless purchased
carpeting to an amount equal to that of any other buyer,
if not surpassing others. You could seldom hear the
auctioneer knocking down a lot to Mr. Kennard; he evi-
dently waited for things to come his way and was frequently
heard to mention that "I'll take the balance." Or, when
the wants of others had been
filled and the auctioneer
would urge a bid for the re-
mainder, Mr. Kennard would
be induced to offer a price
and would have the balance
knocked down to him at less
than the first lot. He bought
very few goods during the
first two days, but came very
strong in the buyers' race
toward the end, when the
enthusiasm had quieted and
the attendance had been
diminished through • many
leaving for home.
Taken altogether the J.
Kennard & Sons Carpet Com-
pany own the goods bought
at the sale at the lowest aver-
age. Speaking of his plans
to market his purchases, Mr.
Kennard states that he is
prepared to share any advan-
tages gained with the trade,
and his company are now
ready to make quotations on
all grades of Smith carpeting
and rugs, which will certainly
interest the closest buyers.
The stock sheet of the house,
made up to May 11, will be
found on an insert sheet in
this issue of The Review,
opposite page 74, and orders
will be filled immediately on
any pattern listed, not alone
of the Smith goods, but of the other prominent makes of
3-4 carpe tings quoted. Retail dealers who wish to be on
a competitive basis in prices can quickly secure supplies
by ordering them from the J. Kennard & Sons Carpet
Company, St. Louis.
SAMPLE CASE OF STERLING PLUSH FILLINGS.
DISTRIBUTED BY ROBERT BEATTIE & SONS, NEW YORK.
As announced on page 21 Tefft, Weller & Co., New
York, have decided to close out their carpet depart-
ment and are now holding a special sale of their entire
stock. They intend to devote the space now occupied by
their wholesale carpet department to other purposes, and
must have the carpet rooms by July 1. As readers of our
May 15 issue will remember, we stated that for many years
past this firm have been the largest wholesalers of Smith
carpetings, and consequently they held, when their special
sale was started on May 3, a great assortment and stock of
Smith Axminsters, Moquettes, Velvets, Tapestries and
rugs. They have also other
makes of Tapestries and
Velvets, Ingrains in all quali-
ties, Art Squares, rugs, mat-
tings, linoleum, floor oil
cloth — in fact everything re-
quired in a full assortment of
floor coverings. During the
past fortnight large lots of
goods have changed hands in
their department, and the
unqualified statement that
the goods must be sold is
sufficient assurance that buy-
ers will be given every in-
ducement, even under the
present abnormal conditions
of carpet prices. If you
cannot call at their depart-
ment write for quotations to
Tefft, Weller & Co., New
York. Charles C. Jones,
James C. Seymour and the
other members of the force
in Tefft, Weller & Co.'s
carpet department have had
a very busy fortnight letting
out stock at close prices
Mr. Jones says they have
done a remarkably large busi-
ness and that the indications
point to a rapid absorption
of even such an extensive
stock as is yet held by the
house.
LowRY & GoEBEL, Cincinnati, Ohio, which firm is
now composed of Justus and Arthur Goebel, report
the spring trade as the best they have had for years.

FRANK D. GREENOUGH.
WE present herewith a portrait of Frank D. Greenoiigh,
who has been engaged by the Judge Brothers Car-
pet Company to represent them in New England.
Mr. Greenough has practically grown up among the
carpet trade of New England. He started in the business
in the carpet store of his brother, H. M. Greenough, who
for some years was located at Tiemont and Boylston
streets, Boston. Subsequently he occupied a position in
another Boston carpet store, and some four years ago be-
came a traveling salesman through the New England
district, for the past three years traveling with a line of
carpet sweepers from Grand Rapids.
Mr. Greenough has an office at 564 Washington street
and will shortly be on the road with the extensive and at-
tractive Ingrain lines of the Judge Brothers Carpet Com-
pany.

A YALE RUG FOR THE "YALE" CRUISER.
WHEN Sheppard Knapp & Co. learned that the steam-
ship Paris had been purchased by the Government
to use as a cruiser and that the ship's name would be
changed to Yale, they immediately presented to Captain
Watkins, the former commander of the vessel, and now
the second in command, one of their handsome emblem-
atic Yale rugs, in which the word Yale appears in yellow
on a blue ground. The gift was acknowledged by Cap-
tain Watkins in a letter, as follows:
New Yokk, May 2, 1898.
Messrs. Sheppard Knapp & Co. :
Dear Sirs — Tnank you very much indeed for the beautiful rug
you sent rae. I did intend to come and thank you in person, but as
we sail this evening I have not been able to spare the time.
Yours truly, Fkedk. Watkins.
John Gay's Sons have issued a novel and attractive cir-
cular calling attention especially to their new lines of

Axminster carpets to order in special designs and color-
ings.

THE THREAD COMBINATION.
THERE will be two thread trusts, one being the English
Sewing Thread Compan}', which owns 60 per cent, of
the American Thread Company's common stock, and the
other is the Coats Thread Company.
The American Thread Company was incorporated under
the laws of New Jersey about six weeks ago. It is capi-
talized at $12,000,000, of which $6,000,000 is in common
and $6,000,000 in preferred stock. It will also have a
bonded indebtedness of $6,000,000 more, which will be in
4 per cent, bonds, making a total capitalization of $18,-
000,000.
The new company was formed to buy up the stock of
the following companies: The Willimantic Thread Com-
pany, the Merrick Company, the Hadley Company, the
Case Thread Company, the William Clark Thread Com-
pany, the Barstow Thread Company, the Glasgow Thread
Company, the Glasgow Yarn Mills, the New England
Thread Company, the Ruddy Thread Company, the Na-
tional Thread Company and the Warren Thread Com-
pany. The shares are to be at a par value of $5 each, as
in England _£l shares in companies are the most popular.
The English Sewing Thread Company was formed last
fall. It will take 60 per cent, of the common stock of the
American Thread
Company and thus
control it. The new
combination will
manufacture cotton,
linen, silk, wool and
other threads. The
preferred stock of the
combination will pay
an interest of 6 per
cent, and the common
stock whatever it may
earn.
The Coats Thread
Company, which
bought up the Clark
Mile Ead, the Clark
O. N. T. and other
thread companies, is the oldest thread combination. It
had been competing very keenly with the English Sewing
Thread Company in the English market, and hereafter
the three new combinations will make arrangements by
which all can run on a paying basis.
PLANT OF THE UNION CARPET LINING COMPANY, WATERTOWN, MASS.
THE TRADE'S BIG CARPET LINING MILL.
A VIEW of the Union Carpet Lining Company's extensive
plant is given herewith. The improvements and
additions to the plant since 1890 have been notable.
Within two years a mill has been erected for the manu-
facture of comfortables and new storehouses have been
built. These improvements consumed aboTit all the
available land held by the company and caused them to
purchase recently a four acre tract adjoining. The
plant is a model one in every respect for the manufacture
of carpet linings of all grades, comfortables, and for the
wool and cotton business of the company.
AN IMPORTANT LAWSUIT.
A CASE of much importance to merchants was tried re-
cently before Judge Rufus Smith, of the Superior
Court, at Cincinnati. Louis Stix & Co. some months ago
brought suit against the Alms & Doepke Company, of
Cincinnati, Ohio, for amount lost on a bankrupt firm, it
being alleged that the loss was due to misleading informa-
tion given to Stix & Co. by the defendants.
On their side of the case Stix & Co. alleged that From-
let & Ward, who were merchants at Mansfield, Ohio, unso-
licited, came into the store of Louis Stix & Co. in Septem-
ber, 1895, and selected a bill of goods, giving as reference
the Alms & Doepke Company; that Mr. Stix called person-
ally upon the Alms & Doepke Company and Was told by
Mr. Renike (their credit man) that the risk was a very good
one, that Fromlet & Ward were average prompt payers and
that their firm would be glad to sell them all the goods
they could ; and that Mr. Remke also introduced Mr. Stix
to Mr. Burdsal, a son-in-law of Mr. W. H. Alms, the presi-
dent of the company, who in the past waited on this firm,
and he also recommended the risk in the highest terms.
An inquiry was also made through the Credit Clearing
House, which is a mercantile agency compiling informa-
tion given by the members themselves, and it is alleged
that on the blanks fur-
nished by the Credit
Clearing House the
Alms & Doepke Com-
pany claimed to have
no security for their
account and reported
this firm as average
prompt payers.
At the trial it was
charged that the Alms
& Doepke Company
was secured by per-
sonal indorsement at
the time the inquiry
was made.
It was also alleged
that the Alms &
Doepke Company, exclusively, had been supplying this
firm with their dry goods and notions since they were in
business, but that during the last visit of this firm to Cin-
cinnati, six weeks before the failure, for the first time,
they did not sell them, but they (Fromlet & Ward) opened
new accounts with Louis Stix & Co., the John Shillito
Company, Isaac Fuller's Sons & Co. and H. & G. Feder,
of Cincinnati, all of whom, it is alleged, inquired of the
Alms & Doepke Company and received favorable informa-
tion, but six weeks later this firm (Fromlet & Ward)
failed, giving the Alms & Doepke Company a chattel mort-
gage preference, and the unpreferred creditors received
absolutely nothing for their claims.
The judge, in his charge to the jury, stated: "If the
Alms & Doepke Company had given Louis Stix & Co.
false information, knowing it to be false, and if Louis
Stix & Co. relied in part or in whole on this information,
they should find for the plaintiff." The jury did not
agree.

WHY?
Why is a carpet dealer like a sailor ? Because he often
has to tack.
Why is a carpet manufacturer like a baker ? Because
he deals in rolls.
Why is a carpet dealer like a farmer ? Because he is
posted in regard to " sprouts."
Why should a carpet dealer never be without " a light "?
Because he makes so many matches.
Why would a carpet dealer prefer canvas to steam on
his boat ? Because he likes big sales.
Why is a carpet dealer well informed regarding current
events ? Because he always knows what is on the tapis.
Why does a carpet maker illustrate an old adage when
he makes a mistake ? Because "as he sews so shall he
rip."
The New York Belting and Packing Company elsewhere
publish some facts relative to rubber matting which will
be of value to dealers who wish to be posted as to the
qualities of goods they handle.

RIFTON MILLS VELVETS.
IN regard to the offerings of the J. W. Dimick Company's
Velvet carpeting and Wilton rugs for the coming sea-
son, which were referred to in our last issue, it is worth
while to call special attention to the large number of
entirely new patterns in the fall line. Mr. J. W. Fitz-
gerald has devoted particular care to the preparation of
artistic and original novelties in designs and colorings, and
the result is the finest and most extensive line ever shown
by the company.
Buyers will find the samples now on view in the com-
pany's New York salesroom, 604 Constable Building,
Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street.

pression on all who inspect it. These goods are a success,
having long passed the experimental stage. They are
serviceable, stylish and should be represented in every
carpet store. The line is shown in New York by Sperry
& Beale at their new salesrooms, 39 Union square, West,
New York.
It is said that Japan's rug industry employs 10,000
people.

PACIFIC COAST NOTES.
Fake Turkish rug sales continue in this city unabated. About
every other week some vacant store takes on a big muslin sign in
front with such labels as "Auction of Oriental
Saa Francisco, Rigs," on account of the return of Nanki-Poo
from Constantinople, or some other Bluebeard
^^y "• town. After a few days another sign will appear
giving an extravagant e.xcuse for the wonderful
sale. It is stran je how people will bite and patronize these transient
concerns, instead of spending their good money in a house with an
established reputation. The old proverb is certainly true : "All the
fools are not dead."
Geo. W. Malim has opened a furniture store in Santa Monica, Cal.

GREAT mills of the E. S. Hig-

represented in the offerings

more strongly than ever be-
fore, the lines of each grade

The Carpet Trade Review.
WHAT OUR COUSINS ARE DOING.
M. Nairn & Co., Limited, the noted floor oil cloth and
linoleum manufacturers, Kirkcaldy, Scotland, are build-
ing another large factory which will form an important
addition to their extensive plant.
During the month of March, 1898, there were exported
from the consular district of Bradford, England, to the
United States, carpets and rugs to the value of ;^1,331, as
against ^2,5G9 for the same month of 1897.
At a recent meeting of the directors of M. Nairn &
Co., floor cloth and linoleum manufacturers, Kirkcaldy,
it was unanimously agreed, after paying a dividend of
10 per cent, to the ordinary shareholders, to set aside
;^1,000 to be divided among the employees who had been
with the firm during their jubilee year 1897-8. The
bonus will be paid over to the workmen with their next
fortnight's pay. The firm has also given ^500 as a
nucleus toward forming a permanent pension fund.
A meeting of the shareholders of John Crossley & Sons,
Limited, was held at Halifax, England, recently to con-
sider the following resolution :
That pursuant to Section 3 of the Companies' Act, 1880, there be
returned to the holders of the 118,797 ordinary shares of the com-
pany of ^'5 each, now issued and fully paid up, the sum of £1 per
share, in reduction of the amount paid on each such share, and to
the intent that each such share shall be deemed to be paid up to the
extent of £-i only and be liable to a call of ;^1.
The resolution was agreed to without dissent, but the
chairman stated that under the act it would require con.
firmation at a second meeting, which was fixed for the
13th inst.
Trade In Kidderminster,
The Kidderminster (England) Shuttle of the 23d ult.
said:
Looms are well employed in all departments of the carpet trade
Manufacturers, however, declare that the trade is troublesome
owing to its miscellaneous character. In some cases orders and
requirements cannot be met in the very limited time allowed by
dealers, and embarrassments ensue. This should act as a warning
to buyers in the future not to defer placing their orders so late as
has been done this season. The urgency of some of the orders ren-
ders overtime necessary, although the actual volume of trade does
not warrant such a course. The demand for Brussels is certainly
increasing and in some quarters buyers declare that squares are in
less demand than formerly, furnishers now insisting upon having
the entire floor covered. So far as the carpet trade is concerned, the
war between the United States and Spain m Cuban waters will not
have much effect. The Cubans have done scarcely any business
with carpet manufacturers, while the Dingley tariff act has
checked English trade with America, only "specialties" being ob-
tained from British makers.
Local spinners are better employed than for some time past, and
prices are steady. In the wool market the outbreak of hostilities
will no doubt lead to a waiting policy among dealers, for no one as
yet seems to know what the commercial effect of the war on wools
will be and which direction values will take. It is possible that
certain classes of wool suitable for war material may improve, but
on the other hand higher classes may have to give way. In the
general trade of this district it is not apprehended that much differ-
ence will be experienced. Cotton is increasing in value, and will,
it is expected, continue to rise.
E. W. Sutton, manufacturer of carpet lining and stair
pads, 53 to 57 Sedgwick street, Brooklyn, New York, is in a
position to offer strong inducements to every buyer. Mr.
Sutton has every facility for meeting the demands of the
trade and invites dealers to write to him for prices.
SCHOFIELD, MASON & CO.
^~■HE offerings of Schofield, Mason & Co. for the coming
season are in full keeping with their especially con-
spicuous position as manufacturers of Wiltons and Body
Brussels. The new line is shown in the Delaware and
Tacony grades, and in a very extensive range of new,
artistic and original designs and colorings, which should
be seen to be appreciated.
Samples are shown at the mills, Cumberland street
above Fifth street, Philadelphia; at 108 Worth street,
New York; by Arnold, Constable & Co., New York; W.
W. Corson & Co., 564 Washington street, Boston; W. K.
Smith, 147 Fifth avenue, Chicago, and Wm. Mackie,
Flood Building, San Francisco.
McCLEARY. WALLIN & CROUSE.
roR the fall trade McCleary, Wallin & Crouse are show-
ing the finest and most extensive line of Smyrna rugs
ever produced by them. The goods are shown in three
grades, namely, the Imperial, a superior quality; the
Mohawk, a high class standard, and the Amsterdam, a
popular grade. In every grade all sizes are shown, in-
cluding carpets, and the designs and colorings are espe-
cially notable for originality, novelty and attractiveness.
Buyers should see the line early, and it is now on view in
the warerooms of W. & J. Sloane, who are the sole agents.
ALDEN SAMPSON & SONS.
THE fall offerings of the old established and extensive
floor oil cloth manufacturing firm of Alden Sampson
& Sons are now ready for inspection at their New York
store, 58, GO and 63 Reade street, and the line is shown
also by their New England agents, W. W. Corson & Co.,
Boston.
The offerings embrace a variety of grades, and the as-
sortment of patterns is especially extensive. The firm
have always paid special attention to the production of
new and artistic original patterns, and in this respect the
new offerings surpass all previous ones of the firm.
Buyers who are looking for salable, handsome styles
will find that the line of Alden Sampson & Sons will
amply repay inspection.

ROXBURY CARPET COMPANY.
OR its famous specialty. Tapestry carpeting, the Rox-
bury Carpet Company can always command a very
liberal share of the trade of every season, and in its offer-
ings for the fall trade the company is in a position to in-
terest buyers even more strongly than ever before, for in
addition to its line of choice 10 wire goods it has brought
out an entirely new line of 9. wire Tapestries in a highly
attractive assortment of patterns. The line of 10 wire
goods is also especially strong, containing a superb range
of new and beautiful effects in designs and colorings, and
offering an admirable illustration of the perfection which
the manufacturers have attained in this branch of the
carpet industry.
The lines are shown by T. B. Shoaff & Co., the agents,
at 935 Broadway, New York, and 611 Washington street,
Boston.

BALANCING THE BOOKS.
WHERE LITTLE THINGS COUNT.
OOKKEEPING has been reduced to
such an exact science in the
big metropolitan banks that the
clerks are expected to strike a
correct balance at the close of
each day's work, no matter if
the transactions have run into
the millions of dollars. When
the books fail to balance, the
vvfhole force of the bank is put
to work to discover the error,
and no clerk starts for home
until it is discovered, whether
it amounts to 2 cents or $2,00U.
Generally a quarter of an hour
will bring the mistake to light ,
but sometimes the hunt is kept
up until late into the night.
Such a search was being conducted in a New York bank
located in the vicinity of Wall street. Forty-five cents
were missing. At G o'clock not a trace of the errant sum
had been discovered. Dinner was sent in for the whole
force from an adjoining restaurant, and after half an hour's
rest the search was again taken up. Midnight came, but
still no clew, so sandwiches and coffee were served.
"Hello!" said a clerk. -'The Blank National people
are working to-night, too. Guess theyr'e in the same
box."
Sure enough, the windows of the bank across the street
were brilliantly lighted. The incident was soon forgotten
when the wearying hunt after that elusive 45 cents was
resumed. Shortly after 1 o'clock in the morning, as they
were about to give up for the night, a loud rapping was
heard at the front door of the bank.
"Hello! Hello! What's the matter," called the cashier
through the keyhole.
"Matter, you chumps. Why, we've got your blamed
old 45 cents! Come along home to bed! "
Ouside stood the crowd of clerks from the neighboring
bank. It appeared that, in making a cash transaction,
one of the banks had paid the other 45 cents too much. As
a result half a hundred men had worked for the nine
hours, and the search was only ended because a bright
clerk, noticing the light in the bank opposite, shrewdly
guessed the cause, hunted up the cash slip and discovered
the error.
JOHN CROSSLEY & SONS.
HENRY Beuttell, American agent for John Crossley &
Sons, Ltd , Halifax, England, has now on view for
the fall trade, at his New York salesroom, 109 and 111
Worth street, extensive and particularly attractive lines of

Buyers who are looking for choice desirable styles not
to be found elsewhere are advised to see Mr. Beuttell's

REEVE LINOLEUM.
THE fall line of the R. H. & B. C. Reeve Company's
linoleum is now on view. It is shown in five grades
and in five widths, 4-4, 5-4, 6-4, 8-4 and 10-4, and in a
skillfully varied assortment of new and handsome patterns.
Among the new styles will be found a number of choice
designs from mosaic floors and panels in the new Govern-
ment Library at Washington. In several of the new designs
the motives are from Florentine and French mosaics, re-
producing not only the finest details of the stonework, but
also the rare old tints of red, green and blue peculiar to
Florentine mosaics. The patterns comprise also oak, scroll
and carpet effects, the latter being especially interesting.
The trade will find the complete line on view in the gen-
eral salesrooms of the company, 801 Hartford Building, 41
Union square. New York, where Rudolph Scherer is in
charge; and also at 602 Bourse, Philadelphia; 713 Penn
avenue, Pittsburg, and 916 Market street, San Francisco.
FRIES-BRESLIN COMPANY'S SMYRNAS.
As manufacturers of Smyrna rugs and mats the Fries-
Breslin Company have acquired a reputation which
renders their semi-annual offerings especially important
factors in the trade of every season, and the new line
they are now showing for the fall trade is in full keeping
with this fact.
It comprises three grades, the Empress, Monarch and
Oriental, the Empress being made in all sizes up to 12x18
feet, and the Monarchs and Orientals in all sizes up to 9x12
feet. Each grade contains a great variety of new and
standard patterns, which are unquestionably quick sellers,
for the Fries-Breslin Company know just what the trade
vi'ants and have every facility for meeting the demand.
The line is shown at the mills, Camden, N. J. ; the New
York office, Hartford Building, Broadway and Seventeenth
street, and by W. W. Corson & Co., at 564 Washington

Broadway, New York, and 611 Washington street, Bos-
ton.

Assyrian Wiltons, and in each grade the trade will find an
abundanceof novel and original eft'ects, prepared expressly
for the fall trade. Whittall carpeting ranks among the
highest class of Wilton and Brussels goods, and the
samples now on view are in full keeping with Mr. Whit-
tall's reputation as an originator of choice, novel and
artistic designs and colorings.
John Watts' Sons, manufacturers of Ingrains, Han-
cock street, above Lehigh avenue, Philadelphia, are ready
for the fall trade with new lines of their popular Hercules
Ingrains, C. C. Extra Supers, half wool Unions, quarter
wool Unions, and Cottons in all grades. The Messrs.
Watts' offerings are the most attractive they have ever
shown, and will amply repay inspection.

Boston,
BOSTON BUDGET.
Representatives of all the leading carpet houses in this
city were in New York last week attending the Smith
auction sale, some to buy and others to keep
an eye on the trade and see what was done.
May 10. Having met their customers from the East in
the metropolis, few Gotham traveling salesmen have been
over here this week.
Mr. Metzger, of the Ivins, Dietz & Metzger Company,
has been in Boston the past week. .
Retail houses report a fair trade, and a few have had a
run on mattings, owing to special advertising.
Joel Goldthwaite, who has been ill for some time, is able
to be out, and was seen on the street Saturday last.
Robert Develon, of Thos. Develon's Sons, was in Boston
to-day arranging for a New England agent for their
goods.
The upholsterers of Boston have voted to keep all their
members in good standing in the union who enlist, and in
case of accident or death all benefits will be paid.
The Institute of Technology was damaged by iire on
April 28. The loss on the building amounts to about 25
per cent, of the insurance and the loss on contents foots
up to about 20 per cent, of the insurance.
A. McArthur & Co., 16 to 26 Cornhill, have notified
their employees that all among them who enlist will re-
ceive full pay while they are in the service of their country
and will be reinstated in their positions when they return.
The employees have shown their appreciation of the firm's
liberality by presenting to it a handsome flag which is
now swinging to the breeze.
L. C. Chase & Co , the well-known plush and blanket
manufacturers and bicycle tire makers, with offices at 129
Washington street, suffered a severe loss by fire this even-
ing (May 10). The flames originated on the fourth floor
of their building. Besides the fire damages, the goods of
Chase & Co. were thoroughly wet down, and their total
loss will be $8,000 or $10,000.
Some of the carpet and furniture dealers have notified
their employees that in case they enlist in the services of
their country their positions will be retained for them,
and the C. E. Osgood Company further announces that
patrons having unsettled accounts who may enlist may
have payments omitted during term of service, and in
case of total disability receipts in full will be given by the
firm.
Among recent deaths was that of Frederick G. Wal-
bridge, which took place at Maiden, Mass., April 28. He
was well known in the carpet and furniture trade in this
city and its vicinity. Mr Walbridge was born February
14, 1828, in Wolcott, Vt., and came to Boston when a lad.
Entering the employ of W. P. B. Brooks, he in time became
a member of the firms of W. P. B Brooks & Co., Brooks
& Walbridge Brothers and Walbridge Brothers. He for-
merly resided in this city, but removed to Maiden in 1892.
He left a widow and one son, Percy E. Walbridge. The
funeral was attended by a number of representatives of
of the carpet and furniture trades. F. J. B.
corner of Haynes street, and will occupy it as an addition
to its store. This is one of the most conspicuous locations
in Hartford. The partition between the two stores is to
be removed, which will about double the capacity of the
store and afford a window of about 70 feet. The large
increase of business necessitates more room, hence these
improvements.
The People's Store Company, East Douglass, Mass. , has
sold out.
C. W. Wright, Pittsfield, Mass., is building a five story
brick structure 100x40 feet, and will move into it in

Worcester, Mass., have made an assignment to O. H.
Carpenter and Walter M. Lindsay, of Boston. A deputy
sheriff has placed James E. Forrest in the store as keeper.
The firm has stores in several other cities, and the assign-
ment is said to involve a large amount. The proprietors
of the business have been Mrs. Margaret E. Gately and
James F. Suttle, of Boston, the former having full pro-
prietorship of the Worcester branch, with Edward E.
Dodge as manager. The cause of the assignment is
understood to be an action of contract brought by John
P. Gately against Mrs. Margaret E. Gately.
The Guy Furniture Company, Worcester, Mass., has
recently made extensive alterations and has added new
stores, thereby making its floor space double what it had
been. The entire Eaton, Silman and Sawyer blocks are
now occupied by the firm. To fittingly commemorate the
opening of these new stores a grand opening was held on
April 26. The Worcester National Band was in attend-
ance, and in the Silman and Eaton blocks graphophone
concerts were in order. The casual observer is likely to
be mistaken at the amount of room one would think there
was behind their store front. There are seventeen floors
in all, including four basements, and the second and third
floors of the spacious building corner of Park street and
Allen court. Three new elevators take the customers
over all parts of the main store.

8, 9 and 10 pair Cottons, and hall and stair Ingrains in 5-8
and 3-4 widths, with borders to match. The line is on
view at the firm's mills, 2012 to 2024 Ella street, Phila-
delphia, and it will well repay examination.
IRON CITY ITEMS.
Pittsburg, May 9.
The carpet and furniture trade of the Smoky City has
improved considerably during the week past, and a good
May month is hoped for, April business not being what it
should have been.
An event of the past week of interest to the trade was
the sale of the furnishings of the magnificent Hotel
Henry, which opened its doors to the public with a great
flourish of trumpets about a year ago and closed them
under the sheriff's hammer on the 5th inst. D. F. Henry,
of the D. F. Henry Company, carpet and furniture auction
house, of Pittsburg, owned the building, and bought in
the entire furnishings for about $8,000. They are said to
be worth fully $100,000. As his judgment is over
$22,000, the other creditors may get nothing.
Dain & Dashbach the Smithfield street carpet and
furniture dealers, suffered a loss of about $10,000 as the
result of fire last week, which originated in the basement
in the packing department.
The C. H. Rowe Company opens the big East End
Dry Goods Store the present week. This establishment
is the first "big" store in the East End, the wealthy
residential portion of the city. The company has a paid
in capital of $150,000. E. B. Jeffcoat, late with Jos.
Home & Co., assumes charge of the upholstery and
drapery department. The general management is in the
hands of F. W. Green, of Syracuse, N. Y.
Edmimdson & Perine opened their large new stores the
past week. Al Legheny.
ARNOLD, CONSTABLE & CO.'S EXCLUSIVE PAT-
TERNS.
IN the carpet department of Arnold, Constable & Co. the
offerings for the coming season will be especially
interesting and important.
The firm will show extensive lines of Lowell Brussels
and Wiltons, and Bigelow, Hartford and Lowell Axmin-
sters in new, original designs and colorings, prepared
expressly for Arnold, Constable & Co., and shown ex-
clusively by them. Schofield, Mason & Co.'s Brusssls
and Wiltons will also be shown in both private and open
patterns, and Stinson Brothers' Velvets and Tapestries are
also included in the offerings.
H. Dauvergne & Co., manufacturers of Oriental carpets
in wool and pashmina, at Srinagar, Kashmere, East
Indies, invite correspondence and indents from the trade.
Dauvergne & Co. are running over 200 looms in their own
factories and are in a position to offer special inducements
to all who handle Oriental rugs.
Dickey & McMaster, manufacturers of the popular
Granite Ingrains, have their new line for the fall trade on
view at their mills. Second and Huntingdon streets,
Philadelphia, and at the office of Blake Brothers, their
selling agents, 108 Worth street. New York. The new
line is replete with novel and attractive effects, well cal-
culated to maintain the great popularity of their Granite
Ingrains, Damasks and other grades.

The Anthony Block at Providence, R. I., narrowly es-
caped destruction by fire on May 4. The greater portion

the insurance has already been adjusted.
D. C. Beggs & Co., Columbus, Ohio, will occupy a room

$253.50; linoleum, shades and tables, William Hengerer
Company, $101.50; furniture for office and jailer's rooms,
People's Furniture Company, $206.25. The report was
adopted.
Daniel Evans, recently with Tefft, Waller & Co., has
gone with Thos. Develon's Sons, the Ingrain manufac-
turers, and will cover Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska,
with an office in St. Louis.
Referring to trade conditions G. B. Treloar, of S.
Sanford & Sons, said : " The season has opened up very
fairly. We have no reason to complain. We think that
the fall business will exceed the average."
The inlaid tile linoleums of Thos. Potter, Sons & Co.
are made to faithfully represent tile floors, as may be seen
from an inspection of the goods and patterns. A complete
set of patterns will be sent to any dealer on application.
Robert J. Bonser is well satisfied with the success at-
tained by his wholesale carpet business in Cincinnati since
its start last fall. He has a building 30x190 feet, five

M. H. Marcus & Brother, the stair pad and carpet
lining manufacturers, have again enlarged their show and
stock rooms at 115 Worth street, New York, to meet their
expanding business. A new department with them is

Mason & Co.'s Wiltons and Brussels, the Fries- Breslin
Company's Smyrna rugs, Swire & Scott's Art Squares,
Fritz & La Rue's Oriental, jute and fur rugs, Alden
Sampson & Sons' floor oil cloths. Union carpet linings, &c.
Their complete line is shown at 564 Washington street,
Boston, and their New York office is in the Hartford
Building, Broadway and Seventeenth street.
John H. Pray, Sons & Co. announce that their fall
lines in private patterns of Wiltons and Brussels are now
complete and ready for showing. There is probably not a
line of high grade goods in this country that is more widely
distributed than these, and while the patterns and colorings
are selected with the idea of attracting the best class of
trade, they also have a large number of styles that are
suited to a medium class trade, who want somewhat
brighter effects, yet are willing to purchase the best quality
fabric. Even in these times Pray reports a large busi-
ness, one far in excess of last season, especially in their
cut order Wilton department.
AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
FROM JOHN H. PRAY, SONS & CO.
The following announcement is made by John H. Pray,
Sons & Co., Boston, and is pertinent to the present
condition of the carpet market :
" During the present temporary, as we believe, read-
justment of values on carpetings we are prepared to make
prices on all grades, and can furnish same immediately
from stock.
"Send us your duplicates on Lowell Brussels, Lowell
Extras, Whittall Brussels, Roxbury Tapestries and Smith
Tapestries.
"As doubtless most of our customers have already a
sufficient quantity of old patterns, secured through the
medium of ' auction sales,' ' surplus stocks,' &c., we would
say that our fall lines will be largely made up of new,
desirable patterns and colorings, selected and to be dis-
tributed in such a way that a retailer can control a pattern,
and thereby secure a profit.
"If this seems to be a reasonable principle, we shall be
glad to show our lines to our friends and answer corre-
spondence.
" Our new private patterns in Wiltons and Brussels are
now ready. The line is unsurpassed in colorings for me-
dium and high class trade."
The statement that they are prepared to make prices on
all grades of carpetings has a clear meaning in coming
from such a responsible source, and their customers and
other buyers may rely on filling their present wants at
competing market rates.
Among the buyers in Philadelphia last week were David
C. Litt, accompanied by John S. Luthy, of Carson, Pirie,
Scott & Co. ; Alex. T. Primm, Jr., of J. Kennard & Sons
Carpet Company; Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Lewis, of Tootle,
Wheeler & Motter, St. Joseph, Mo ; Capt. Henri Duncker
and Chas. Duncker, of the Trorlicht, Duncker & Renard
Carpet Company, St. Louis; P. M. Gallahue, of D. P.
Erwin & Co., Indianapolis; Mr. Schneider, of Alms &
Doepke; Mr. Spielman, of the Geo. F. Otte Company;
Justus Goebel, of Lowry & Goebel, and R. J. Bonser, of
Cincinnati. As a rule all reported having had a good
spring trade and being in shape to order goods for fall.
Three men stole a truck load of valuable Turkish and
Persian rugs, valued at $15,000, on the 14th inst. The
truck was in front of the store of Costikyan Fr^res, an
importer at No. 139 Broadway, New York, and the driver
was in the store when the three men jumped on the truck,
and one, seizing the reins, drove off. This action was not
noticed by anyone in the store, and the men went up to
Mulberry street, where they sold rugs valued at from $50
to $600 apiece for $10, $5, or whatever they could get.
When the absence of the truck was discovered by the
Messrs. Costikyan's driver the police were notified. Detec-
tives found the truck on Mulberry street, and one of the
three men peddling the rugs from it. Most of the rugs
were still in the truck, but rugs valued at about $2,500 had
been sold. About $2,000 worth of these were recovered,
some from an Italian tenement at No. 114 Mulberry street
and others at No. 166 Hester street.
The Carpet Trade Review.
GREAT SALE OF SMITH CARPETING.
SIXTH AUCTION SALE OF THE PRODUCT OF THE ALEXANDER SMITH & SONS'
CARPET COMPANY.
THE auction sale of Smith carpeting and rLigs announced
in our last issue was opened on the 3d inst. The
sale was held on the street floor of the new building atNos.
37 to 41 East Eighteenth street, adjoining the premises
of W. & J. Sloane. There was a large attendance of the
trade, every section of the country being represented, and
especially the West.
Promptly at 10:15
o'clock A. M. Mr. John
Christopher Wilmer-
ding, of the auction
firm of Wilmerding,
Morris & Mitchell,
began the day's pro-
ceedings by stating
the terms of sale,
which were approved
notes at four months
for all sums over
$100, and for sums
under that amount
cash without dis-
count. Mr. Wilmer-
ding then introduced
Mr. Walter W. Law,
of W. .& J. vSloane,
who made a short ad-
dress as follows :
Gentlemen of the car-
pet trade — One word be-
fore we comraence, to
remove any apprehen-
sion that we are looking toward lower prices for car-
pets.
The day for low prices has gone by. Manufacturers are
now using wool that has paid the new duty, increasing the
cost of the manufacture of carpets from 7% to 15 cents per
yard. This is true, I know, of the Smith Company, who
have for the last three months been using entirely wool on
which the new duty has been paid. Besides this, we are
now offering a much smaller quantity of goods than we
have usually sold at these special sales — certainly less than
half the amount we sold six months ago. Take, for in-
stance, IVIoquette carpets ; you took from ils in the first part
of November 28,500 pieces, and we only offer now 5,500
pieces, the looms that made them formerly having been
altered to make the new A.'imin.ster fabric, which is being
offered to you for the first time to-day. It is an uncom-
monly good fabric ; the price has been fixed at a low rate,
and we commend it to your favorable consideration.
Moquettes have had during the last few months a most
unprecedented sale, and they will hereafter be sold more
nearly on a basis of the price list which has been current than
they have been sold under the pressure of the enormous sale of the
last six months.
With the country in a revived condition, as is shown by large in-
crease in savings banks deposits and railroad earnings, higher
prices for nearly every commodity and wheat at unparalleled prices,
it is inevitable that the demand for carpets and the prices of carpets
must keep step with the general advance.
The reality of vyar is to-day far less detrimental than the appre-
hension of it was a few weeks ago to us as a nation given wholly to
the avocations of peace. Why should we be afraid with 75,000,000
of united people to measure our strength with a nation of 17,000,000
JOHN CHRISTOPHER WILMERDING.
— more than one-half of whom cannot read or write ? The victories
that we are rejoicing in to-day are but the forerunner of business
bursting into activity.
Take counsel, gentlemen, of your courage, and not of your fears,
for this nation is surely moving on to a period of i)rosperity on a
broader and sounder basis than ever before.
The first lot on the catalogue was then put up by Mr.
Wilmerding. It consisted of three pieces of Velvet and
one piece of border, and was knocked down to Sterling,
Welch & Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, at 68 cents a yard.
The duplicates of this lot brought the same price.
One h^mdred and thirteen lots of Velvets were
sold, and then followed about 135 lots of Saxony
Axminster. After them came the F Palisade
Tapestries. The sale continued until 4 o'clock
p. M., with an intermission of half an hour for
luncheon. The afternoon sales were conducted by
Mr. John Currie Wilmerding, whose vigorous,
dashing style is familiar to the trade. At times
the goods sold rather slowly — a fact due chiefly to
the smallness of the lots and the consequent extra
effort required to distribute them.
It would be unnecessary to describe the pro-
ceedings of the five days in detail. It is sufficient
to say that the prices realized throughout were
fair, speaking generally. The old or unpopular
patterns brought very low prices, but almost
all the really desirable offerings were dis-
posed of at a fair
price, and the com-
I petition for dupli-
I cates was very keen.
By Friday it had be-
come evident that it
would be impossible
; to finish the sale on
the following day,
and as many of the
out-of-town trade did
not wish to remain
in New York over
Sunday, it was de-
cided to adjourn the
sale on Saturday af-
ternoon and resume
it later in the month.
The proceedings were
therefore suspended
at about % o'clock
p. M. on the 7th inst,
-.--! the last lot sold being
No. 1814, a short
length of Ne Plus
Ultra carpeting. On the sale of this lot Mr. Paul Heub-
ner, of W. & J. Sloane, announced that the new patterns
of Saxony Axminster which came next on the catalogue
would not be offered then, but that the sale would be
resumed in the near future. As announced elsewhere in
this issue it will reopen May 31 next.
At the time of our going to press the exact quantity of
goods sold has not been ascertained, but it is safe to say
that about 55,000 pieces of carpeting were disposed of
apart from the great quantity of rugs distributed. There

is little doubt that when the goods which remain on the
catalogue, with probable additions, are disposed of, the
sale will rank as the greatest in the history of the car-
pet trade.

Observations at tbe Sale.
The progress of the great sale was an interesting study.
There is no question that the official news of Commodore •
Dewey's great victory had a stimulating effect on the first
day, and the consequent buoyant feeling aided in obtain-
ing the prices which went beyond even some sanguine ex-
pectations. A great surprise to many buyers was the
prices obtained for Moquettes, which averaged' about 61
or 62 cents. This was doubtless owing, in the first place,
to the offerings being much less in quantity than was an-
ticipated, and also to the excellence of patterns, some pat-
terns going as high as 71 cents. One well-known buyer
told us that he had anticipated buying Moquettes cer-
tainly under 50 cents, and had advertised them to retail
at 58 cents the week previous, in order to have as clean a
deck as possible. He said it was lucky for him that the
weather was stormy during the two days he advertised
Moquettes at 58 cents, because fortimately, the sales
made at that price were very light.
The jobbers considered the arrangement of the cata-
logue as more in favor of the retail buyer than of them,
and would have preferred to have the original lots in
larger quantities. The J and E rugs, the Ne Plus Ultra
rugs and the large sized seamed Axminster rugs all went
freely, and after the price was made by knocking down
the original lot there was a great scramble to get dupli-
cates.
Many buyers were shut out by their inability to attract
the auctioneer's attention before the duplicates were all
sold, and it was demonstrated that a much larger quan-
tity of rugs would have been taken up than was offered.
A feature of the sale was the low price brought by the
first lots of plain Velvet fillings, as demonstrated by the
fact that the retail department of W. & J. Sloane became
active bidders for the goods, which raised the price 15 or
20 cents a yard over the first figures obtained.
It was a trying week on the buyers who remained
throughout the sale, as the task of giving close attention
to purchasing judiciously was an ordeal to the nerves of
even the coolest buyer. Those who had the patience to
hold out profited, as on one day, when the sale was pro-
longed until 5:30, prices certainly went lower because of
the tired out condition of the audience.
The representation of both bityers and sellers was one
that occurs under one roof only on such an occasion, as
we certainly have not seen together so many members of
the trade since the Smith sale in 1893. The rear of the
salesroom witnessed greetings between men who meet but
very infrequently, and about all the leading manufacturers
and salesmen paid a visit to the auction room at some time
during the week. With very few exceptions the visitors
in no way interfered with the sale or diverted the attention
of buyers, as everyone realized the propriety of holding
aloof from the buyers during the progress of the sale.
During intermission and after sale hours, however, buyers
were greeted by the sellers and doubtless considerable
business resulted through the presence of so many pur-
chasers in the market.
A rumor has spread persistently that the project of dis-
tributing the production of the large 3-4 goods mills
through periodical sales of this character has been
broached. The idea is said to be that the importance of
these sales will attract the buyers to the market and save
the expense of traveling salesmen. We have found it im-
possible to ascertain whether this project has been dis-
cussed or not, but some of the large manufacturers assure
us that they would not even consider such a proposition.
The absence of some important buyers from the sale
and the fact that many present did not purchase to an ex-
tent commensurate with their standing, together with the
semi-official statements as to what other manufacturers
were doing, rather prove the conclusion that other manu-
facturers of A^elvets and Tapestries were making con-
cessions on surplus stocks to meet as far as possible auc-
tion conditions.
While we do not desire to prophesy or make statements
to affect the action of buyers, yet we cannot help believ-
ing that the prices ruling at the auction or at private sale
during this month constitute a temporary condition. It is
settled by the very best authority that the prices obtained
at the auction, and which were made for surplus stocks of
other manufacturers to meet the auction, are far below a
profitable basis.
Such prices would not at all be possible under the pres-
ent cost of carpet wools if it were not for wools free of
• duty being represented in the goods sold. These old
wools, if not already entirely exhausted, must soon be
totally consumed, and it only requires a plain arithmetical
calculation to prove that carpets made from wools paying
a duty of 50 per cent, must certainly be sold for more
money than when made from wools free of duty.
Humor of the Sale.
The clever witticisms and sayings of John Christopher
Wilmerding and John Currie Wilmerding were in evidence
to the entertainment of the company.
When a lot of goods was offered a second time a bid
came from a Chicagoan, and immediately a New Yorker
offered more. The auctioneer, turning to the Chicago
The Carpet Trade Review.
buyer, said: "It isn't yours; Chicago is big, but Greater
New York beats you."
A voice came from the crowd: " Cannon, of Newark,
one lot." "This is no war," said Wilmerding; "cannon
don't go here. "
As a group became noisy John Christopher Wilmerding
said: " Don't be so obstreperous. Listen to me: I have
been a tenor; to-day I'm a baritone." (He had a cold.)
Shortly after the sale commenced a lot was knocked
down, the bidder holding up his hand. "What is your
name?" shouted Wilmerding; but no response came.
"What is your name?" he reiterated in impatient tones.
"Marshall Field & Co." was the response. "Oh! I beg
your pardon, Mr. Ames," said the auctioneer; " I could
not see you." And a general laugh resulted.
"I cannot see that man over there; he looks like a
colored man. R. H. White, did you say ? Well, he is a
white man."
When the 9 by 12 Moquette rugs were being sold there
was a great scramble to get in, and many efforts were
made to attract the auctioneer's eye, some very amusing
in the choice of words. "Am I a dog ? " said the crier;
" why don't you whistle at me ? "
A buyer was somewhat angered at not succeeding in
getting a lot after making strenuous efforts to attract the
eye of the seller, so he said to John Currie Wilmerding :
"Why don't you look this way some time?" "I am
looking there now," was the response; "what do you
say ? " "Oh, yes, you look this way when the thing is no
good." "Yes, I'm looking at you," responded Mr. Wil-
merding, and the laugh was on the buyer.

Senator Krum's mileage book bill has been signed by
Governor Black. It provides that every railroad operating
more than 100 miles of road in this State shall issue
mileage books having either 500 or 1,000 coupons attached,
these books to be issued immediately upon application.
They shall entitle the holder or any member of his family
or firm or any salesman of his firm to travel for a number of
miles equal to the number of coupons detached by the
conductor.
The line of medium all wool Supers shown by Henry
Rath, Jr., will command attention for the exceptionally
large assortment of patterns as well as the beauty of
same. Mr. Rath has exercised excellent judgment in the
selection of fall styles, and presents a line which for
beauty and originality is equal in every way to the full
Extra Super productions. No. 963 in Mediums is an ex-
ceptionally handsome pattern in a large scroll and is made
in fourteen different shades. His lines of Unions and
Cottons also contain an ample variety, the majority of
which are new this' season. The goods can be seen at
Mr. Rath's mill salesroom. Fifth street and Columbia
avenue, Philadelphia.
J. &J. DOBSON'S FALL LINES.
THE fall patterns in J. & J. Dobson's various lines are
completed, and contain additional demonstrations of
this firm's careful attention to patterns and colorings.
The new effects are original conceptions, and make the
lines altogether different from those of other manufac-
turers, while the firm have adhered to the plan of improv-
ing rather than diminishing the quality. Their specialties
in Mosaics, the seamless Velvet carpets and in 11 wire
Crown Tapestries are fabrics which will repay attention
from every buyer throughout the country. The Crown
Tapestry has the closest pile of any tapestry produced,
and the effects in design and coloring are equally high
class.
Their other productions are Royal Wiltons, Crown Ax-
minsters, A A Velvets, Imperial Velvets — which are
doubtless imsurpassed for value and good selling features
— A Body Brussels, B Body Brussels, A A Tapestries and
XXX Tapestries. The fall goods are on show at the
Philadelphia, New York and Boston offices, and will be
displayed to the trade on the road this month.
EMPIRE EXTRA SUPERS.
IN contemplation of the important change in their methods
of distribution, David Jackson & Son gave extra efforts
to the preparation of their fall lines. The result is an
offering which in variety and attractiveness places their
goods in a strong position as competitors for trade. As
the line will doubtless go before many new customers this
season, we might add that David Jackson & Son are among
the oldest Ingrain manufacturers in Philadelphia, and
their goods have been marketed for several years past
through TefEt, Weller & Co., of New York, under the
brands of Empire Extra Supers and C. C.'s, Stratford Ex-
tra Supers, Eclipse Unions and Royal Cottons.
The fall samples are in the hands of the sole selling
agents, T. B. Shoaff & Co., 935 Broadway, New York.
George Van Dvne will soon be among his customers
with the fall lines of Wm Henderson's Ingrains. He in-
troduced the goods to his trade during the spring season
with satisfactory results, giving additional evidence that
Mr. Van Dyne can always rely upon obtaining a due
share of trade. He will be strongly fortified with hand-
some patterns for fall,
GRANrrE. Ingrains have been very free sellers during
the past season, their style, appearance and durability,
combined with the very moderate price, appealing to con-
sumers especially throughout the West. The goods are
made by the James Hall Carpet Company, Dickey &
McMaster, John Watt's Sons and others in Philadelphia,
and it will be to the advantage of buyers to examine their
merits.
F. G. Rogers, 1015 Filbert street, Philadelphia, was
among the important purchasers at the big auction sale
and is now offering such purchases at a nominal advance
over cost price. His assortment is replete with attractive
patterns in Axminsters, Moquettes, Velvets, Tapestries
and rugs, and dealers desiring immediate deliveries of
carpeting at lowest market prices should communicate
with him.
The Carpet Trade Review.
PHILIP DOERR & SONS.
A STRONG assortment of radically new patterns in all
wool Extra Supers has been brought out by Philip
Doerr & Sons for the fall trade.
That value and preference are placed on patterns must
be acknowledged by all buyers, and in this respect the
Doerr Ingrains give as much for the money as any make
of goods in the market, and a great deal more than many
makes.
Another point in purchasing these goods is the reliability
of quality, a feature it is wise to bear in mind, especially
in a market of disturbed prices. The firm's line of Unions
is of the same attractive nature as the all wool Extras,
and the fall patterns cover the field of newest furnishing
ideas.
The lines may be seen at the mill, Fifth street and
Columbia avenue, Philadelphia, and at the New York
office in the Hartford Building.
THE KHORASAN RUG.
THE new Khorasan rugs made by Barnes & Beyer will
be ready for inspection at the firm's Philadelphia
and New York offices this week. As stated in our last
issue the Khorasan is an entirely new production in a one-
piece carpet of high quality, made in sizes 6x9, 7.6x10.6
and 9x12 feet. As the only fabric of the kind produced
in this country it will be certainly interesting and profita-
ble for buyers to give particular attention to viewing these
T. B. SHOAFF & CO.
As selling agents the firm of T. B. Shoafl: & Co. have
long held an especially conspicuous position, and
their offerings for the fall trade are even more extensive,
varied and attractive than ever before.
They show as sole agents Roxbury Tapestries in both
ten wire and the new nine wire grades, the latter being
offered this season to the trade for the first time. John
Rippel's eight wire goods are an additional and new at-
traction in the Tapestry offering. In Wiltons, Brussels
and Plush carpets, Shoaff & Co. show the complete lines
of M. J. Whittall. In Ingrains they offer the very popular
lines of David Jackson & Son, and they show, as usual,
John Bromley & Sons' immense product of Smyrna rugs
and carpets in new and standard patterns.
Shoaff & Co. expect a big fall trade, have evidently
made ample preparations, and there is no doubt that their
expectations will be fully realized.
An agent in Canada is wanted to represent a manufac-
turer of Smyrna rugs, chenille and tapestry curtains and
table covers, lace curtains, &c. An agent for Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas is also wanted by the
same concern See our " Special Notice" columns.
E. L. Farr, of the Farr & Bailey Manufacturing Com-
pany, returned from a six weeks' trip abroad on the 3d
inst. He speaks very warmly of the manner in which he
was entertained by Mr. Shepherd, of Kirkcaldy, and other
manufacturers in Scotland and England. He also visited
Paris and a few points on the Continent.
T
THE JUDGE BROTHERS CARPET COMPANY.
HE carpet manufacturing firm of Wm. Judge &
Brothers has been succeeded by the Judge Brothers
Carpet Company, incorporated under the laws of Pennsyl-
vania with an authorized capital of $150,000. The officers
of the company are Wm B. Judge, president; I. C.
Kerkeslager, vice-president; James Judge, treasurer and
manager. The directors include the above named officers
and Isaac Wilde, Albert Schofield, Andrew Flanagan,
Joseph M. Adams, Henry G. Reineke and R. B. Judge.
The Judge Company are ready with their fall samples of
Ingrains, and have made arrangements to distribute their
goods more widely than heretofore. They will be repre-
sented in New York State and Michigan by F. B. Bru
Baker, with office in the Hartford Building, New York ;
F. D. Greenough in New England, with office at 564
Washington street, Boston; by C. S. Sanderson in Chi-
cago and the West, and by David Neeld in New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Washington.
TRENTON LINOLEUM.
THE first offerings of the Trenton Oil Cloth and Lin-
oleum Company, of Trenton, N. J., are on view, and
prove that the company possess high skill in their designing
and coloring departments. They have had the courage to
introduce positively new ideas, with the result that their
line is a contrasting and individual one and in this respect
alone is worthy of attention. The designs are well divided
WORKS OF THE TRENTON OIL CLOTH AND LINOLEUM COMPANY.
among tile, geometrical and floral effects and there is ex-
ceptional novelty in the figures and color combinations.
There are fourteen patterns in A quality, fourteen in
B's, twenty-seven in C's, sixteen in D's and sixteen in E's,
an assortment affording excellent opportunity for selection.
The line is now displayed by the selling agent, O. F.
Spate, Hartford Building, New York, and will be shown
on the road.
In the face of the auction, John H. Pray, Sons & Co.
distributed a large number of Roxbury Tapestries on
satisfactory terms and piices to their customers. It was
a shrewd move on their part to keep their customers in
line on goods they supply, rather than to run the chances
of their swinging over on other makes of Tapestries, as
the result of inducements by other manufacturers. Fray's
people are in close touch with the Roxbury Mill, and
whenever there is anything worth knowing or having on
these goods they are in evidence.
The Carpet Trade Review.
WM. HENDERSON'S INGRAINS.
W.M. Henderson, the Ingrain manufacturer, was pleas-
antly surprised this month by the revival of dupli-
cating, showing that some dealers were cutting up goods.
His spring season has been very successful, and he con-
siders it the best in several years. The Columbia Brus-
sels, which are a heavy weight Ingrain showing Brussels
effects, have had a big run, and Mr. Henderson has ac-
cordingly increased the assortment of patterns for the fall
season. The lines of Extra Supers, C. C.'s and Unions are
completed, and will be shown on the road very shortly.
They are now on view at the mill, Fifth street and Colum-
bia avenue, Philadelphia.
H. B. CLAFLIN COMPANY'S CARPETS
AND ORIENTAL RUGS.
IN the carpet department of the H. B. Clafiin Company
the offerings of Manager Winters for the fall season
embrace an immense stock of floor coverings of all descrip-
tions, including Wiltons, Axminsters, Brussels, Velvets,
Tapestries, Ingrains, At Squares, Smyrna rugs and mats,
linoleum, floor oil cloth, straw mattings, &c. The offer-
ings comprise careful selections from the products of the
leading manufacturers in their respective specialties, and
also a number of makes controlled exclusively by the
H. B. Claflin Company.
The especially strong feature of this season is the en-
larged rug department, which will offer not only the
exceptionally extensive assortment of domestic rugs as
usual, but also a very extensive line of Oriental rugs and
carpets selected in the Orient by H. K. Beatty, the com-
pany's representative there.
Keefer & CooN, Philadelphia, are ready with their fall
lines, including their new Art Squares, which are made in
their patent weaves. They report the continuation of
duplicating on spring business, and also look for an active
business this fall.
If the devotee of Bacchus whose predicament is pictured
in the accompanying illustration had had his staircase
furnished with patent rubber nos-
ings, there would have been no
doubt about his ability to reach
the next floor. These patent rub-
ber nosings are noiseless, prevent
slippijig and are durable and re-
versible. Send for samples and
descriptive circular to Knapp Rub-
ber Binding Company, 335 Broad-
way, New York.
The E. R. Artman-Treichler
Company, Philadelphia, were im-
f^ ^^r--^^^; i.'-^j portant purchasers at the Smith
auction sale and have received
shipments of their purchases
quickly, owing to tlieir nearness to
New York. They are conse-
quently able to offer auction goods
this week and deliver them at
once, and Mr. E. R. Artman assures us that ha will make
the prices low enough to interest any buyer.
Voice from above — Are you
coming upstairs, dear ?
"I — hie— dunno yet." — Life.
FARR & BAILEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
THE spring trade of the Farr & Bailey Manufacturing
Company, Camden, N. J., manufacturers of floor oil
cloths, was very satisfactory, and Mr. Farr says that the
permanent- favor of popular priced floor oil cloths is well
demonstrated.
The new fall line of patterns is completed, and a larger
portion than usual will be shown for the first time, includ-
ing several new rugs.
It should be remembered that this company stand in the
front ranks in regard to large production, and have one of
the biggest and best equipped plants in the country. It
therefore pays to consult them.
HIRST & ROGER'S VELVETS AND TAPESTRIES.
Wi iH the increased facilities of their new mill Hirst &
Roger are in shape to fill orders satisfactorily, and
their fall line of patterns in Velvets and Tapestries is a
much larger and stronger one in every way than any
previously offered by them.
Their seven wire "Spring Garden" and eight wire
" Wissahickon " Tapestries are noted for their exception-
ally brilliancy of coloring, and have proved popular selling
goods. They make a worsted faced Velvet which was
brought out last season and which is shown in an increased
assortment of patterns for the fall. The mill and sales-
room are at Kensington and Allegheny avenues, Phila-
delphia.
Thos. Caves & Sons displayed their fall line of Key-
stone Velvets in New York during the week of the auction
sale in a temporary offi.ce in the Hartford Building, and
Thos. Caves, Jr., reports placing good blocks of his fall
productions. The fall line is certainly a very handsome
one, and should be viewed by all large users of Velvets.
The arrival home of Mr. C. B. Fritz from his purchasing
tour to the Orient enables Fritz & La Rue to interest early
fall buyers of Oriental rugs and carpets, and we strongly
advise the trade who will visit the Eastern market within
the next fortnight to consult this firm on their offerings
and prices at their headquarters, 1128 and 1130 Market
street, Philadelphia.
It was remarked that John H. Pray, Sons & Co. were
noticeable on account of their small buying at the recent
auction sale. Both F. S. Chick and Mr. Cole were on
hand to keep in touch with the sale and take advantage
of any opportunities that might arise. Mr. Chick jokingly
remarked, when asked why they were small buyers, that
the situation was too complex for him, and that it was a
good time to follow out the old adage, that when a man
does not know what to do he would better do nothing.
The plant of James Pollock & Son, Philadelphia, has
been running to fullest capacity throughout the spring
season on their celebrated Damasks and Venetians, and
also on Ingrains, the season doubtless being the, best one
they have experienced in several years. Besides making
the best qualities of Damasks and Venetians, Pollock & Son
are noted for the promptness with which they fill orders,
a feature which is of importance to large buyers especially.
Fred Scheck is doing excellent service, as usual, in their
selling department.
The Carpet Trade Review.
THE "ARLINGTON" RUGS.
THE new " Arling-ton " Axminster rugs, made by the
Bigelow Carpet Company, and sold by Arnold, Con-
stable & Co., are certain to be in great demand. They
are made in the Imperial Axminster grade, and in three
sizes: 26x36 inches, 27x54 inches and 36x63 inches. The
■patterns cover a wide range of Oriental and floral styles,
and in designs and colorings as in fabric, these nigs well
maintain the high reputation of the manufacturers.
THE IVINS, DIETZ & METZGER COMPANY.
THE Ivins, Dietz & Metzger Co. are ready with their fall
offerings of Wiltons, Brussels, Ingrains, Art Squares
and Bundhar Wilton rugs. The trade have learned to
loc k for extra choice effects in this company's offerings,
and will certainly be well satisfied with those which will
be presented to them for the fall season. The collection,
as usual, is replete with original ideas in designs and col-
orings, which, combined with the high qualities of the
fabrics, always make the Ivins, Dietz & Metzger goods of
more than usual value and desirability.
JOHN DUNLAP & SON'S INGRAINS.
JOHN DuNLAP & Son will hereafter be represented in
Chicago and a portion of the West by Evoy & Flani-
gan, with ofEce at 186 Market street, Chicago, where
their new fall lines are now on view. The salesmen of
Evoy & Flanigan will also display the samples on the
road shortly. John A Cole & Son will represent Dunlap
& Son in St. Louis and the Southwest. Otherwise their
representatives throughout the country will be the same
as last season.
The Messrs. Dunlap have prepared their usual large
assortment of Ingtains in the great variety of grades
made by them from all wool Three Plys down to Cottons.
We can assure buyers who have not yet handled the Dun-
lap productions that they can order with the certainty of
being thoroughly satisfied in quality and styles, as the
firm's reputation is of the highest as manufacturers of
salable and reliable goods.
W. W. Fish, who owned the building in which Heyland
& Brown carried on their drj' goods and carpet business
at Elmira, N. Y. , and who bought the stock at mort-
gagees' sale, has decided to continue the business, and was
in New York last week buying goods.
The big six story brick block at the southwest corner of
Bank and Lake streets, Cleveland, Ohio, was gutted by
fire on the 6th inst. The northern lalf of the building was
owned by the Bradley estate and t.^e southern portion by
the Root & McBride Company, whol 'sale dry goods. The
fire was confined to the former, but t. e stock of the Root
& McBride Company was damaged by water and smoke.
The total loss will amount to about $i.25,000, fairly cov-
ered by insurance. The fire resulted from an explosion
of chemicals in Beeman's chewing gum factory, on the
fifth floor of the Bradley end of the building Nearly a
dozen manufacturing concerns occupying ti^e several floors
suffered losses ranging from $5,000 to $25,1 00.
Hovy Win Auction Sales Affect Traveling Salesmen ?
The recent auction sale of Smith carpeting has presented a serious
question to many carpet travelers. How will such sales affect the
traveling salesmen representing other manufacturers of carpets ?
As a traveling salesman let me ask one question. Out of the 10,000
carpet dealers in the United States, how many attended the late
auction sale to purchase their goods ? The merchants of the far West
and East cannot spare the time to attend such auction sales twice a
year, and past experience has taught them that they can deal with
all reputable traveling salesmen to as good an advantage as they can
by visiting the New York and Philadelphia markets.
Some years ago the Bigelow, Lowell, Hartford, Roxbury, E. S.
Higgins Carpet Companies and many others endeavored to sell all
their respective products at their salesrooms in this city, but the re-
sults soon convinced them that to distribute their goods satisfac-
torily it was necessary to employ salesmen to visit the trade, who
would not call on them. That is the mode of doing business to-day
and the manufacturer who is waiting for the trade to call on him
for his wares, finds himself at the end of the season with a large
surplus stock on hand that he has to sell at a sacrifice.
The manufacturers who are foolish enough to think of withdraw-
ing their traveling representatives and depend on other methods to
dispose of their productions, I fear will regret the experiment. The
manufacturer who relies on the jobber to distribute his productions
will find out his error, as there are many merchants who will buy only
from the direct representative of the manufacturer, and the
manufacturer cannot at all times rely on the jobber handling his
goods the following season. Prices, patterns, &c. , have their effect,
and he will find that his brother manufacturers have in the mean-
time visited his former trade, introduced their lines to him, and he
has lost their business.
The bulk of the carpet business to-day is done through the travel-
ing representatives of manufacturers, with the exception of the
jobbers, who will always come to the open market to make their
selections. Hire proper traveling representatives to cover sufficient
territory and trade will flourish and prices will be maintained.
Philadelphia.
John Dunlap, Sr., of John Dunlap & Son, Philadel-
phia, who has been ill for several months, is happily re-
covering and is now able to be out.
L. Lautenslager, manager of the Pittsburg Dry Goods
Company's wholesale carpet department, reports their
first season's experience in this line as entirely satisfactory,
and that the cut order department is developing very
rapidly. Mr. Lautenslager was in New York during the
auction sale.
In preparing for the fall trade dealers should bear in
mind the rug fasteners manufactured by the Kingston
Rug Fastener Company, 546 Washington street, Boston.
Their line includes the new invisible fastener and their
latest style, the self-locking fastener, which requires no
sewing on, and can be secured to rugs or carpets in an
instant. Write to the company for samples.

The Upholstery Trade Review.
COZY CORNER FOR A SMALL ROOM.
(1ST of the cozy corners that are seen can be
used only in large rooms. As many who
live in small apartments still have a
longing for one of these attractive nooks,
the one given in the illustration may
serve as a hint if nothing move. To
the young couples having but little fur-
niture it will also serve to help beautify
the little nest. All that is required is a
bench that will fit around the corner as
a foundation on which to build. The
rest is a matter of individual taste.
Pretty cretonnes and cotton stuffs, Japanese crapes, heavy
linen embroidered in outline — in fact, almost any material
that fancy dictates — will serve for covering couch and
cushions.
First make a valance of rufHe of any of the goods
selected and tack to the bench, so that the cushions when
in place will entirely cover the edge. It may be either
simply gathered or laid in large double box plaits, as
preferred.
The cushions must fit the seat perfectly. Above the
bench to a height of about 3 feet tuck Chinese or Japanese
matting on the walls in panels, secured by strips of pic-
ture molding that will harmonize with the rest of the
woodwork in the room. At a distance of a foot above the
molding stretch and paste some cartridge paper. The
color of this must depend on the color scheme of the cor-
ner and room. A dull blue or gray, sage green and
terra-cotta all make excellent backgrounds. Upon this
hang some well chosen etchings in white or oak frames.
For the pil-
lows there is
an endless va-
riety to choose
from. If cre-
tonne or cotton
stuffs are used for the cushion and frill, then the same
idea must be carried out in the pillows. But if tapestries
are used, they may be of silk or wool, or in fact
almost any goods that one may fancy. The squares that
come for this purpose of tapestry in soft, dull colorings
and quaint designs are very effective. On the floor a rug
of Eastern make, be it a genuine Oriental or a Japanese
jute, can be laid to good effect whatever the color scheme
may be. The colorings and designs of costly rugs are
so well reproduced in the inexpensive sorts that one
can easily be selected to harmonize with almost any
furnishing.
Such a corner if carried out with good taste and an eye
to artistic effects of color cannot fail to be an attractive
feature in any room, and will add much to the cozy, home-
like feeling of an apartment.
/^HENEY Brothers, South Manchester, Conn. , the largest
firm of silk manufacturers in the country, have an-
nounced that for every man in their employ who has vol-
unteered they will pay $25 a month toward his family, or
to those who have sisters, brothers
or parents dependent on them, and will
also see that they will not want
while the men are away. Besides this,
each man who passes the examination
will be insured for $2,000, the firm pay-
ing the premiums. In case of death
the families will be the beneficiaries.

CORNER FITMENT FOR A SMALL ROOM.
\n excellent porch curtain for piazzas that
are somewhat limited in size and may
not harbor the useful rattan screen is made
of striped cotton canvas, like that used
for awnings. This is fringed on the lower
edge, and is put up to the upper cross beam
of the porch railing by brass rings. Through
these rings runs a manilla rope, by which
it is easy to adjust the curtain. This is a
better shelter than the bamboo piazza shade,
as it not only tempers the sunlight, but
keeps off a strong wind or a sudden summer
shower that may try to interrupt some
piazza festivities.

remaining floors. There were forty or more girls
employed in making window shades on the fourth
floor. They made a rush to the rear fire escape,
and while some scrambled down to the street, others
were drawn to the roof by the firemen; still others
entered the windows of an adjoining building, and then
proceeded in safety to the street. The firemen had a
brisk fight, and it was necessary to send in a second alarm
before the fixe was extinguished. The four upper floors
were gutted, ilr, James' damage is about $7,500 from
fire and water. The bedstead company will lose about
$3,000 from water, and the owner of the building, the

BROMLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
GEO. E. Lackey, sole selling agent for the Bromley
Manufacturing Company, has their fall lines of lace
curtains and nets, tapestry curtains and table covers,
chenille curtains and table covers, linen velour curtains
and piece goods on view at the salesrooms, 415 Broadway,
New York.
As manufacturers of tapestry and chenille curtains and
covers the Bromley Company have long held a very high
position and in the manufacture of lace curtains they have
now become exceptionally conspicuous. Their line of
lace goods comprises an immense variety of patterns,
which well illustrate the perfection which this industry
has already reached in the United States, and the offer-
ings in tapestry and chenille goods are admirably calcu-
lated to show the remarkable resources of the company in
their designing and manufacturing departments. The
most exacting buyer is certain to find in these lines all
that he could possibly require.
The Western Shade Cloth Company, Chicago, has in-
creased its capital stock to $30,000.
The Philadelphia Tapestry Mills are showing for the
fall of 1898 a most comprehensive line of curtains, table
covers, couch covers and piece goods, which for variety,
style and individuality exceed any of their previous efforts.
They understand the art of making upholstery fabrics
which are thoroughly up to date (goods that are ready
sellers) and they place on them a small price. These are
essentials that should not be overlooked by progressive
buyers. It will be to the interest of every good buyer
to see their lines before placing his orders.

SUMMER DRAPERIES.
RAPERiES this season are more attract-
ive than formerly, and the floral de-
signs are more varied in character,
so that a greater choice can be ob-
tained at lower prices and in patterns
to suit all places. In silkoline there
are many new decorations, both in
light and dark shades, in which
stripes of red, yellow and blue are
Simple hangings in this same texture,
many of white backgrounds, have bow knots and garlands
of running vines and blossoms; others are in delicate
greens, old rose and all-over ' designs of conventional
figures.
With thin goods the striped muslins with lace trimmings
are very popular. According to a writer in the Art Ama-
teur these fabrics are treated in small bunches of moss rose-
buds, tied with a delicate French blue knot. To comple-
ment these are figured muslins of different colors, a zigzag
thread of the cotton running the entire length in schemes
of pink roses and lilies of the valley, while others are
gracefully decorated in yellow blossoms. These simple
draperies can be utilized for country houses in the way of
sash curtains, summer portieres and the like.
In crepes for seaside purposes there are designs in ex-
cellent patterns for any room. Among them are those
on white backgrounds, in which the larger sized flowers,
such as poppies, chrysanthemums and peonies, take the
lead. In these cotton goods the texture indicates a silken
appearance and they are in every color. In cretonnes
the variation is even more picturesque than those for
hangings a year ago. These fabrics
are more decided in patterns and
combined with conventional forms,
designs in which there are the
lightest of pinks, cream yellows, bluish
grays and olives delicately set off by
salmon pinks. Of course in these tex-
tures there are endless varieties, each
design being one suitable to some pre-
vailing scheme. Cretonnes this sea-
son vary greatly, from the narrow
stripes, which form a pattern of large
stripes, to plain effects in backgrounds
of .solid tints. In these goods flower
designs are pre-eminent.

SCHROTH & POTTER.
THIS is one of the most enterprising firms in the shade
and curtain trade. Starting a few years ago at Co-
lumbus, Ohio, in a small way, they have been .enlarging
and branching out until to-day their trade extends all over
the country. A Review representative was shown over
theirnew build-
ing by Mr.
Potter.- It is
four stories
high, with a
basement, and
is 30x188 feet.
It contains
over 30,000
feet of floor
space. The
basement is
the shipping
department
and contains a
great stock of
curtain poles.
The first floor
is used for the
offices and
showrooms to
display curtains and portieres. The spacious offices are
all finished in handsome quartered sawed oak. The sec-
ond floor is devoted to curtains and piece goods. On the
third floor the Emrich strips are made. The fourth floor
is used as a workroom, which contains several appliances
to get the work out better and quicker than in the ordinary
way. The building is well lighted and equipped with all
the modern improvements. A picture of it is presented
herewith.

SPIDER SILK DRAPERY FABRICS.
AN industry has recently sprung
up which consists of the
farming of spiders for the pur-
pose of securing their cocoons
and webs for manufacture into
drapery goods. The spiders
selected for spinning are of those
orders in which the species are
natural web or cocoon builders.
"Sedentary" spiders spin
good threads and construct webs of proportions in which
to catch their prey. The "Clulrona" spider builds
cylindrical nests, the " Tegenaria " a horizontal web, and
the " Theridion " lays its silky strands in all directions.
The plans adopted to obtain the product in good form are
quite unique. The fly catching spiders are provided with
set frames across which they
form their webs in course
of time, as in the first view
in the annexed diagram.
The classes of spiders that
form long stretches of single
strands promiscuously are
allowed to gather upon a
wide, horizontal metallic
slab, which slab can be
heated at proper time by
means of a steam pipe.
When the temperature
becomes uncomfortable the
spiders drop off spinning a
line of silken material which
can be gathered and twisted
with others into a substantial thread for cloth making
purposes. The spiders are permitted to ascend and repeat
the operation many times daily. These strands need only
be arranged regularly on a cylinder and fed into a revolv-
ing tube and twisted, as shown in the drawing of the
twisting process.
The webs and cocoons, however, must be unwound and
straightened so far as is possible, and all that cannot be
paralleled goes to waste. In the twistmg process the steel
whirl is hollow and is twirled some 400 times a minute by
the cylinder C and the belt F. The partly rolled and
twisted strands pass around the guide D to the bobbin E
the latter being turned
by the gears at F.
The final twisting of
the material is done on
a regular twisting frame.
The boucle or looped
effect is made in the
twisting by employing
intermittent motions or
similar movements to the
rolls of the twisting frame. The intermittent motion is
accomplished by using gears in which part of the teeth are
blank. The interval of stopping thus procured gives the
yarn the desired loop effect.
Fast dyes are not possible on these spider silk threads,
so a sort of plating is put upon the surfaces. The plan
of the plating or surfacing device is shown in the next
drawing. The yarns enter at A, pass over roll B and
down through the liquor to C, up over D and E and
into the next department, then out in the order shown.
Ordinary plating salts are used, and with them the dye is
deposited by means of electric currents. Care is taken to
have the depo.^it of nickel on the work tenacious and
adherent, and a point is that the slower the rate of deposi-
tion the more adherent and tenacious the deposit will be,
but if the current is too weak the deposition will be too
slo .v, and also the solution
may crystallize on the anodes,
while on the other hand, if
the current is too intense the
deposit is apt to burn — that
is, the deposit will be a dark
gray or black color with a rough surface; hence to work
the solution properly a moderately intense and uniform
current is used. During electrolysis both the sulphate of
nickel and the sulphate of ammonia undergo decomposi-
tion, sulphuric acid and ammonia being set free at the
anode; this sulphuric acid forms an equivalent quantity of
sulphate of nickel by its action on the anode, which it dis-
solves; free ammonia is liberated, some of which is left to
accumulate.
The yarns are now taken from the nickel dye bath and
rinsed in cold water, then boiling water and then dried in
hot , boxwood sawdust; then polished on an unbleached
muslin buff (running 3,500 to 3,000 revolutions per
minute), followed by finishing on the wheels shown in the
next diagram, in which A is a first wheel, made of a
bristled surface, B a cloth wheel and C a plush or felt
wheel. The yarns are flexible in this state and ready
for use.
For upholstery purposes the tacks manufactured by
L. C. Waterman & Sons, Hanover, Mass., are well and
favorably known in the trade. Price lists, &c. , will be
promptly furnished on application.
Chas. W. Breneman & Co., the Cincinnati window shade
manufacturers, have worked more hands and turned out
more goods than they ever have since starting in business.
In fact, their city has enjoyed a very heavy wholesale
trade this spring.
The building, 129 Washington street, Boston, was se-
verely damaged by fire on the 7th inst. L. C. Chase &
Co., the plush manufacturers, occupied three floors, and
their loss is estimated at $46,000. The goods of the
Wakefield Rattan Company, occupying the street floor,
were slightly damaged by water.
The store of the Denholm & McKay Company, Worces-
ter, Mass., has been remodeled and enlarged. The third
floor is devoted to carpets as before, but the main fur-
niture department on the fourth floor has been enlarged
by the addition of a large salesroom for parlor furniture.
This room is lighted by incandescent lamps entirely. The
upholstery department has been enlarged and fitted with
new fixtures throughout.

W. p. Ubilnger.
P. Uhlinger, the pioneer Jacqtiard machine and
ribbon loom manufacturer of this country, who died at
his home in San Diego, Cal. , April 16, at the age of
seventy-five years, had been in ill health for some time,
but nevertheless his death was unexpected by his family
and friends.
He was born April 10, 1823, in the town of Schaff-
hausen, Switzerland. He served as an apprentice in the
shop of his father, who was a Jacquard machine manu-
facturer, and had known and worked with J. M. Jacquard,
the original inventor of the celebrated machine which
bears his name. Somewhat later the subject of our
sketch traveled over the continent of Europe, as was the
custom in those days, working from time to time in
various establishments in his
line and perfecting his
knowledge as he went along,
devoting his time especi-
ally to -the manufacture of
ribbon looms in Basel,
Switzerland, and to Jacquard
machine manufacture in
Lyons, France.
On June 23, 1848, he came
to America and secured
employment in the establish-
ment of the Wm. H. Horst-
mann Company, of Phil-
adelphia, as their head
machinist. While there he
constructed a number
of fringe and trimming
looms, and the Jacquard ma-
chines necessary for that
business. In the latter part
of 1850 he launched out
into business for himself in a
modest little factory on
Master street, Philadelphia,
in a room about 25x60
feet, on one floor, with a
blacksmith forge in the
cellar. His force at the start consisted of three men,
and a two horse power engine was sufficient power to
operate the entire machinery, which was composed
chiefly of an engine lathe, a drill press and a circular saw.
In this modest establishment was made the first iron
Jacquard machine ever built in this country, as the old
Swiss and French machines which had been in use
previous to that time had been made entirely of wood,
even using wooden hooks, &c. Here also were con-
structed the first fringe and ribbon looms made in the
country, some of which are in active operation to-day.
In 1853, the quarters then occupied becoming too small,
Mr. Uhlinger removed to Cadwallader street above Oxford,
the force at that time comprising twenty to twenty-five
men. It was here that Mr. Uhlinger added knitting
machines to his output, and of these machines he con-
structed a very large number. In 1856 the building on
Cadwallader street was struck by a wind storm and the
plant almost entirely destroyed. Nothing daunted, how-
ever, Mr. Uhlinger transferred his business to 1619 and
1621 North Second street, and made a new start. During
the war he made a large number of brass cannon for the
Government, also manufactured quantities of pistols,
drums and war supplies of various kinds, besides carry-
ing on his regular line of business. In 1866 a larger shop
was built on Columbia avenue near Mascher street, and
shortly thereafter Mr. Uhlinger added improved patent
school furniture to his output, and he had at one time 120
hands employed on this work alone. Owing to unfor-
tunate business ventures in 1874 he failed, but started up
again in a very small way in 1875 in the old Disston Saw
Works, on Canal street above Front. From this time on
until his retirement from active business he enjoyed
unusual prosperity, building up his works from almost
nothing, until he had a plant
with a force of 200
employees.
In 1876 he invented
and put on the market
the first of his direct acting
engine driven hydro ex-
tractors, and the success of
this machine was at once
so apparent that he was
awarded a medal and diploma
by the Centennial Ex-
position held in Philadelphia
in that year. These ma-
chines are now widely
known and extensively used,
not only in this country
but also abroad. His im-
proved type of Jacquard
machines manufactured at
that time also contributed
largely to his success. He
also perfected and brought
out the first power machines
for punching and lacing
Jacquard cards, which
proved immense labor savers
in their several fields. On
July 1, 1889, Mr. Uhlinger retired from active business
and disposed of his entire interest to the firm of Schaum
& Uhlinger, who had established themselves in a similar
line of busine.ss in 1887. The works of W. P. Uhlinger
and Schaum & Uhlinger were consolidated and moved to
the large building now occupied by the latter firm at
Second street and Glenwood avenue.
Since his retirement Mr. Uhlinger had spent his time
in traveling and enjoying a well earned rest. He was a
member of the Franklin Institute and of the Phoenix
Lodge No. 130, F. and A. M.
The fall line of Stead & Miller's upholstery piece goods
is now on view at their mill salesroom in Philadelphia,
and at the New York office, 115 Worth street. Their
complete line of curtains and table covers will be ready
very shortly.
The Upholstery Trade Review.
USING color for textiles we cannot
proceed exactly as when paint--
ing a picture, because we
find the intensity of a color will
vary much, according to the
class of material or body which
may be reflecting it ; any
body which has a polished
surface will enrich a color,
while a dull body will have just
the opposite effect. Suppose
we take pieces of silk, cotton
and wool and dye them to the same depth of shade, we
shall find the color on the silk much more brilliant than the
others, while the wool will be brighter than the cotton.
If we look at a Terry velvet, i. e., a looped pile, we find
it answers to the dull body, and comparing it to a cut
velvet pile, which is smooth and has more points from
which to reflect the light, we find the cut pile gives a much
richer and pleasing color. Again, compare a Brussels
carpet with a Wilton or Axminster carpet and you have
further good examples. It is very evident, in making
color combinations, we should consider the material we
are using, as well as the use to which it has to be put.
What will do for a floor or wall will not generally do for
dresses or suits.
In the making of textiles we are dependent upon three
chief factors for their decoration, viz. , weave or order in
which the threads are interlaced to give stability to the
fabric, design or form, and color.- We may decorate by
any of these means, but the most beautiful are those
where they are combined.
In cotton color plays a very important part, the combi-
nation generally being of a softer and not so pronounced
types. In silk we can show color off to the best advan-
tage, because of its high lustre, as well as fineness with
which the fabric can be made ; it enables the fabric to be
ornamented as near perfection as is possible, examples of
which are seen in court trains, dresses, ribbons, hand-
kerchiefs, ties, &c.
What is color ? To answer this we must go into the
consideration of the light theory, according to a writer in
the Warehouseman and Draper. Color is reflected light ;
the surface of an object simply reflects back the light
which falls upon it from a luminous body. This reflected
light is motion, which is made up of innumerable waves
of light traveling at 192,000 miles a second ; thousands of
these waves strike upon the eye per second of time, and
so set vibrating a sensitive skin behind the eye we see,
which is called the retina. This retina is covered with a
fine network of nerves, all meeting in one special nerve,
known as the optic nerve; this connects with the brain,
giving it a knowledge of motion, and this the brain turns
into sight. All light is primarily from the sun, and so all
the colors are separately reflected colors, the sum total of
which is the white sunbeam. All bodies have no color of
themselves, but they possess certain powers of absorption
and reflection, so on the light falling on them they absorb
certain colors or portions of the ray of white sunlight and
reflect others, which are the colors we see. A white body
has the power to reflect nearly all the colors in equal
degree, and so it appears white ; a black body appears so
because it absorbs nearly all the light in equal degree. If
you see red it is because the body absorbs all but the red
portion. These waves strike on the eye in waves of light
of varying length. When they are l-34,000th part of an
inch it gives us red; when they get smaller, say 1-41, 000th
part of an inch, we get orange, and as they get smaller we
get the other colors of the spectrum. The colors of the
spectrum are violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange
and red, similar to what we see them in the rainbow.
The basis upon which all textile colorists can work is not
the light but the pigment theory, or the results that we
know we do get by mixing pigments or paint. We divide
all color into primary, secondary and tertiary classes :
Primaries — Red, yellow and blue.
f Green, by mixing blue and yellow.
Secondaries — < Orange, by mixing red and yellow.
( Purple, by mixing red and blue.
( Russet, by mixing orange and purple.
Tertiaries — < Citrine, by mixing orange and green.
( Olive, by mixing purple and green.
Each of these colors may be given a tone by allowing
one of the colors in the mixture to be in excess of the
other. -For example, a yellowish green may be made by
having more of the yellow than the blue present in the
mixture, or a reddish purple by having more of the red
than the blue in the mixture. A tint may be got by
mixing white, thus making it possible to make soft colors,
varying from almost white up to the full color. A deeper
shade is given to a color by adding black, but in so doing
the color must suffer, losing its intensity somewhat. Red
is a very brilliant color, conveying a sense of warmth.
It is one of the most useful colors for textiles, but requires
very careful application; if used in large masses care
should be taken that it is so placed that the other colors in
the combination do not suffer — it is so strong as to have
the power to injure them. Generally, it is found a very
little has the power to give the necessary amount of
warmth or cheerfulness to the combination. For dress
fabrics it is seen to the best advantage when
small line in a stripe, or as an overcheck to a
check formed by other colors, and as small
specks or spots in figuring.
Blue conveys a sense of coldness; it is this
fact which makes pale blue dresses a com-
fortable and fashionable shade in hot summer
weather. It always appears to recede, and
disappears from view sooner than any other
color, except purple, by distance. It is one
of the most useful colors that can be used,
because of the number of soft, pleasing
tints and shades that are got from it. By
used
62

mixing blue with red we get purple tones, and with the
addition of white, and excess of blue or red as required,
we get the heliotrope and crushed strawberry shades
which have been so fashionable.
Yellow always conveys a feeling of lightness, and ap-
pears to advance toward you. It is certainly the lightest
and purest of all the primary elements, and when placed
along with dark colors is extremely vivid, so if used on
black or dark grounds must be in very small quantities.
When combining with white or very light colors larger
quantities can be used, but in that case, because of its
exceeding lightness, it has a tendency to look thin, so it
must be with the idea of giving a tint rather than a full
tone. Because of its exceedingly vivid character we gen-
erally find it used as a decorative color, to give light or
character to other colors in a combination, for instance, as
a line, in stripes, checks, or in spots. If the repeat of the
system of coloring is only a small one, then the line or
spot should be a small neat one, but if a large pattern,
then the line may be made bolder with advantage.
The secondary colors are much more used than the
primaries, because they are not so pronounced in char-
acter ; the primary colors may be said to be the extremes
of colored light, while the secondaries are nearer the
happy medium ; but still some of them are too strong to
use in their full intensity in very large quantities; they
are most useful when reduced to tints or tones, and can be
used as the basis of color combinations, with the primaries
to brighten them up. When looking at the solar spectrum
we saw that the eye had the power to distinguish the
seven colors, and take
them all in at once — the
eye is then perfectly at
rest; but should you
withdraw any of the
primary elements, i. e.,
red, yellow and blue,
after a time the eye will
begin to tire, and long
for the color which is
absent, causing the re-
maining colors to suffer
in intensity, and ap-
pear rather dim. The
color which is absent
is known as the comple-
mentary. The com-
plementary color to red
is green ; to yellow is
purple ; to blue is
orange ; to green is
red ; to purple is yel-
low, and to orange is
blue. For example,
if you look at a bright
blue for a time it will
appear to lose part
of its power; it is be-
cause of the absence
of the complementary
orange ; but now look
at orange, and it will
appear very bright, and on again looking at the blue it
will appear as brilliant as before. Chevreul, in his fine
book on color, gives a very good example of this, which
may be remembered with advantage by all who have to
arrange or match off colors. He says a man was matching
off a number of red silk ribbons, and after having passed
seven or eight shades, complained they were not as bright
as formerly ; it was from the lack of the green comple-
mentary. A green ribbon was now shown him, which
rested the eye, and again looking at the red ribbons pro-
nounced them right, and if anything more brilliant.
One of the chief things in all combinations is that the
contrast shall be distinct and of a well balanced character,
i. e., it shall not be too strong, as is the case when very
loud Colors are placed together, without any neutralizing
color between them ; nor should it be too light, as is the
case when tints are combined which are very near each
other, or tones which are near in character or weight. We
may divide all contrasting colors into two classes: First,
by means of tints of the same color, as for example, light
and dark brown, or light and dark blue; second, by com-
bining different colors or tones, as red and green or yellow
and purple. The first of these, i. e., contrast of tints in
the same color, is the most extensively used of any system
of coloring in textile, the reason for this being the soft
and pleasing effect produced. They are simple in charac-
ter, but the very simplicity gives the beauty, because there
is nothing obtrusive about them, and the balancing of the
light and dark gives repose. A dark color placed against
a light one causes both of them to become intensified by

contrast, the light color
will appear lighter, and
the dark one darker. To
test this, cut two pieces
of cloth, say, one of a very
light gray and another of
a dark gray, and place
them side by side; the
light will appear lighter
and the dark darker. It
is still more clearly seen
by making stripes of,
say, a quarter of an inch
of each shade. It is no-
ticed just at the place
where they are in contact
there is the greatest difference, gradually shading
away to the centre of the stripes. Looking at the sec-
ond class, where we have contrasting color, as distinct
from tints or tones of the same color, we also find each
color has a modifying influence on the other. Suppose we
place stripes of red and yellow together, we find they
do not appear the same as when separated; the red
appears slightly violet and the yellow slightly green. It
is because of the absence of blue. This acting on the
red gives a violet tint, and on the yellow a green tint.
When colors are placed together which are comple-
mentary to each other they become intensified by contact;
for instance, green is the complementary of red ; place
them together and they look richer. This appHes in re-
gard to all colors which are complementary to each other.
But if you place together two colors which contain the
same common element, such as yellow and green, they
suffer somewhat — the yellow is not as pure in tone, and
the green is flatter; or combine yellow and orange, it will
not give a good combination, because the yellow element
is too evident, detracting from the red in the orange
composition.
Black or dark colors affect light ones materially, as well

as light ones affect dark ones. Chevreul gives
a very good instance of the effect of colors on
black. He says a certain firm of merchants in-
structed a firm of printers to print black spots
onto pieces of red, bluish violet and blue
fabrics. When they submitted them to the
merchant he complained that the spots were
not black as ordered, but those upon the red
cloth bore a greenish tinge, upon the bluish
violet a dark greeni.sh yellow tinge, and upon
the blue cloth a copper tinge. To convince
the merchant they were black, he cut pieces of
white paper which covered the ground, leav-
ing the spots exposed; the black now assumed
its proper depth, thus proving that one color
has a direct influence on another, and also that
the eye, blinded by a prevailing color, is in-
clined to see its complementary. Light colors
placed on a dark ground have a decided effect
on each other, especially if the color happens
to have much brilliance ; for instance, red
placed on a black ground causes the black to
appear somewhat rusty;
blue causes black to
appear deeper, but it
shows the blue off to
advantage by contrast.
Black and white are
very useful for neutral-
izing any bad effects
which may occur when
placing colors together
which detract too much
from each other. They
represent the two ex-
tremes, /. c, light and
darkness, and have a
neutralizing influence
over all colors in which
they are placed in contact. A combination of all the
three primary colors in all their strength would be gener-
ally found to be far too strong, but this will not be.

providing they are put together in their proper quantities,
because the three colors themselves constitute harmony.
But it is the strong contrast between the three colors
which is objectionable ; this can be neutralized by the intro-
duction of white and black. Sepa-
rate the two bright colors, red
and yellow, with black, and the
red from the blue with white, and
this strong contrast is broken,
providing the masses of each are
not too large. This combination
would certainly be too lively
for general wear, but it is right
for a number of other purposes
where gay coloring is required. It
is a useful rule to follow — that
if you are in difficulty with two
colors in combination, break
it with the introduction of black
or white, as they may be required.
Harmony, in regard to color in
textiles, is very difficult to define
in laws; it certainly is that which
gives us pleasure. It is not pos-
sible to say that certain quantities of colors should be in
every combination to produce it with such a multitude of
tones, tints, colors and hues of colors as we have. Calcu-
lations of this sort are not of any practical value; it
must depend upon personal judgment or taste. Colors
combined, such as yellow and green, yellow and orange,
red and purple, which possess the same common
element, do not look well together; while a color
and its complementary, such as red and green, blue and
orange, yellow and violet look well together, pro-

SEVERAL illustrations of English furniture and fit-
_ ments are presented on this and the opposite
page. In the Empire suite for a bedroom the severely
classical character is relieved by chasing and
metal enrichments. The sketch represents a genu-
ine Hepplewhite bookcase in mahogany, inlaid
with satinwood ; the cylinder fall incloses a .secre-
taire, fitted with mysterious drawers and secret
recesses, and the glazed doors in the upper part
would protect any valuable volumes. The easy
chair is of Sheraton design, made of mahogany
delicately carved. The unique Empire clock has
a revolving dial, and the oval table is made of satin-
wood, and has two flaps finely inlaid with festoons,
and classic heads in medallions with shell orna-
ment in the centre.
In the library shown the shelves and cupboards
are of oak stained green. Well designed copper handles
and hinges give brightness, and copper plaques and deco-
rative pottery add pleasing color effects.
In the Louis XVI. room an archway of wood leads into
an anteroom with a cozy corner.
In the square window is a fitted
seat upholstered in velvet.

PEGAMOID LEATHER.
THE wonderful attributes of pegamoid are doubtless
known only in a vague way to those who have not
seen the articles treated with pegamoid. The word
" pegamoid " itself signifies a secret method of treatment
by which any comparatively hard surface fabric is ren-
dered waterproof, its durability is increased and it may be
cleaned of all stains and dirt.
So far the main application of pegamoid to an uphol-
stery material is in the pegamoid leather. There have
been several substitutes for leather produced in the past,
and, without in the least disparaging the substitutes most
largely used at present, we may say that pegamoid leather
has all the desired attributes of real leather for uphol-
stering and decorative purposes and is free from the short-
comings of real leather when used in this direction.
At the superbly appointed offices of the American
Pegamoid Company, 11 Broadway, New York, are shown
various rooms in which the walls are hung with pegamoid
leather and the covering of all furniture and screens is of
the same material. The effect is certainly artistic, as the
goods are produced in a great variety of colors and the
great durability and utility of the material are fully demon-
strated. One of the severest tests is to throw a quantity
of ink on the walls or over the furniture and allow it to
dry. The use of a sponge, saturated in water, very quickly
removes all traces of the ink or of any other soil.
Cretonnes treated with pegamoid are shown in the piece
and also in covered furniture, the advantage of pegamoid
treatment being to set the colors positively and to render
the surface capable of being cleaned to look as good as
new. It also increases the durability of the color, render-
ing it to all purposes entirely fast.
The attributes of pegamoid applied to awning stripes,
window shades, bed ticking and to silk, as well as cotton
faced upholstery fabrics, are obvious, and it has been dem-
onstrated that the result in the preservation of the fabrics
is marvelous.
The consummation of all arrangements for producing
pegamoid fabrics is necessarily a lengthy task, as it would
be almost impossible for one concern to produce every
kind of fabric in which pegamoid may be utilized. The
Pegamoid Leather Company is, however, prepared to de-
liver pegamoid leather in a number of different style fin-
ishes and in all leading colors. The upholstery trade have
already taken hold of this material freely, and arrange-
ments have been recently completed by which Marshall
Field & Co. have secured control of the sale of pegamoid
leather for Chicago . Mr. Thomas L. Seymour, who has
spent many years in the carpet and upholstery trade, is in
charge of the selling department, besides being a stock-
holder in the company. He will be pleased to send sam-
ples of pegamoid leather, with all particulars, on applica-
tion to the Pegamoid Leather Company, 11 Broadway,
New York.
Cohen Brothers & Co., 424 and 426 Broadway, New
York, have received this week several new laces and in-
sertions specially manufactured for bobbinet ruffled cur-
tains. These are made of very superior quality yarns, and
will wash and launder like new. They are Point de Saxe
and Maltesse, and are exact copies of very expensive laces.
WALL PAPER NOTES.
..C. E. Sheckler, Sr., succeeds C. E. Sheckler, Jr., at
Catasauqua, Pa.
. J. H. Otterman has opened a wall paper and picture
frame establishment at Monett, Mo.
. .William H. Roll's Sons' wall paper establishment at
Indianapolis was burned out a few weeks ago. Loss,
$13,000; insurance, $11,000.
. .The stock in the Janeway & Co. Philadelphia branch
of the National Wall Paper Company, at 621 Market
street, was damaged to the extent of $25,000 by fire on the
11th inst. Insurance, $20,000.
..The Ficken Paint and Oil Company, of New York
city, was incorporated at Albany on April 29, to deal in
wall paper, paints, &c. The capital stock is $10,000, and
the directors are Adrian H. Jackson, Herman Anspacher
and Peter C. Heidelberger.
. .Spencer Plantz, who conducts a wall paper store at 81
West Main street, Rochester, N. Y., has disposed of his
stock of goods to George Weldon and James Z. Weldon,
who will hereafter conduct the business under the firm
name of Weldon Brothers. The consideration for the
ti'ansfer was $1,431.
. .A permanent paste for paper hangers may be pro-
duced by dissolving 1 ounce of alum in one part of warm
soft water. When cold add flour to make it about the
consistency of cream, then add half a thimble of resin and
half an ounce of sugar of lead. The above are the pro-
portions for a bucket of paste.
. .The large factories of the New Brunswick Tire Com-
pany and 'Janeway & Co., wall paper manufacturers, at
New Brunswick, N. J., are near each other. 'The front
of each commands a view of the front of the other. A
week ago each factory put out a flag from the main pole.
Then one factory put a flag from a window. The increase
was met by the opposite building, and the rivalry has gone
on from day to day until now the front of each building is
fairly swathed in patriotic bunting. The rivalry is keen
and each day subscriptions are oft'ered by the employees
and the heads of the firm to purchase more flags. Some
the windows of the factories display from three to eight
flags, and the whole town has become interested in the
manifestation of patriotic ardor.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1, 1!
We have prepared and are showing for Fall 1898 the largest line of Uphol-
stery Fabrics that our mills have ever produced. The Buyer of Upholstery Goods
may be absolutely sure that here he consults a line that is without a peer in
completeness and perfection of assortment. He may be reasonably sure that all
our goods represent as good, if not better, intrinsic value than can be found
outside; otherwise experience, study and our ability to manufacture large
quantities of goods have been of little avail.
Correct styles, skillful manufacturing and low price are sure guarantee
of the satisfaction that can be depended on by buyers of our goods.
A magnificent collection of Table Covers, Curtains, Piece Goods and Couch
Covers is offered for the Fall, and the styles shown here will not be found
duplicated elsewhere.
It is clear that the buyer who does not know the great variety of goods
that we are making has not been fully alive to what is going on around that
should concern him.

MODERN UPHOLSTERIES.
It is evident that buyers are becoming more convinced every season that "it
does not pay to purchase foreign made Upholstery and Drapery Fabrics
when they can buy American made goods of equal quality and superior
styles at considerably less money. That our productions for the
FALL OF 1898
will substantiate the correctness of this assertion
we leave to the judgment of the Trade and invite the most careful
comparison between them and imported fabrics.

THE SECRET OF WEAR IN
RUBBER MATTING
is elasticity — not so much as in rubber bands,
but enough to let the matting give when the
foot strikes and lessen the blow. Ordinary
matting is made of a poor quality of rubber,
brittle and stiff. The foot lands heavily, and
rapidly wears away the rubber or breaks it off.
In our mats, matting and step-treads we use
a tough, elastic rubber, which yields to the
foot and saves itself, springing back into shape
as soon as the pressure is removed. Two
grades: Spider — excellent quality and a good
wearer; Double Diamond — superior quality
and an exceptional wearer Call or write.

BIGELOW CARPET COMPANY.
AXMINSTER,
WILTON AND BRUSSELS
-» CARPETS. (^
The Carpets made by this Company have received the highest award wherever exhibited,
including Gold Medals at the Paris Exposition, 1878, and at the Centennial, 1876.
Their deserved reputation for excellence of fabric, richness and durability of color, novelty and
beauty of design, has led to frequent infringements, and inferior goods have often been palmed off
in their stead. For the protection of the public the Company has adopted as a trade mark the word
" BIGELOW," which will be woven (at every repeat of the pattern) in white capitals into the back
of the fabric. Customers will therefore have merely to examine the back of a carpet to be certain
that they are getting the genuine Bigelow goods.
THESE GOODS CAN BE HAD FROM ALL FIRST-CLASS DEALERS.

Upholstery Department, Page 55.
I^^Our readers are urged to remember that we are
always desirous to receive communications of interest to
the carpet or upholster^- trades, such as changes in firms
or managers, the building or opening of new stores,
mprovements in old ones, the adding of new departments,
improved methods of doing business, new inventions, sug-
gestions as to the cutting, making and laying of carpets,
the designing and fitting of draperies, or inquiries and
dissertations relating to the technical or commercial details
of the trades to which this periodical is devoted.
A WAITING MARKET.
UNSETTLED values in Tapestries and Velvets continue to
be the chief feature in the trade situation, and this
uncertainty is both unexpected and disappointing. Last
spring and fall most dealers bought goods largely and
wisely, it seemed, in the anticipation of an advance in
prices which appeared to be assured by the new tariff,
with the higher duties placed by it on wool and other raw
materials of the carpet industr}'. But the present season
has opened with prices unfixed in both Tapestry and Vel-
vet carpeting, and those travelers who have gone on the
road have foimd a large proportion of the trade disposed
to delay purchases on these goods until values are settled.
Prices of all wool Ingrains have been fixed at a reduction
from last season, the decline being 2^ cents or less per
5'ard. Wiltons and Brussels remain at the same prices as
last season, and in Hnoleums, floor oil cloths, Smyrna
rugs, cotton Ingrains, &c., the changes, if any, are slight.
The auction sale of Smith carpeting, which was ad-
journed on the V th ult. , was resumed on the 31st ult. and
is now in progress. We give in this issue a report of the
proceedings at the sale up to the time at which we go to
press, and a complete account will appear, of course, in
our issue of the loth inst.
It cannot be said that the trade situation is satisfactory,
but we believe that the present conditions will last but a
short time. The country is prosperous, and the demand
for carpeting must increase accordingly. All the reports
of general business during the past month were favorable.
Consumption has increased, and in many directions pro-
duction is being pressed to meet the demand. Bank
clearings — one of the best tests of business — ^have been
especiall}- large during the past month, and last week they
were a third greater than in the same period of last year.
Railroad earnings show a great increase, and the iron
trade, which also ranks high as a business barometer,
shows remarkable activity and strength.
These facts point surety to a great coming demand for
carpeting, which is always a feature of prosperous times.
33
The Carpet Trade Review.
and all that is now needed to assure prosperity to the trade
is that certainty of stability in prices which cannot much
longer be delayed.
THE SECOND BIG AUCTION.
THE SALE OPENED ON MAY 31 WITH A GOOD ATTENDANCE. PRICES RULED
LOW.
THE continuation of the auction sale of the Alex. Smith
& Sons Carpet Company's carpetings and rugs, post-
poned from May 7, was opened at 10 a. m. on the 31st ult.
at 37 to 41 East Eighteenth street, New York. The audi-
ence well filled the seating capacity of the room and was
about the same in numbers as at the previous sale. The
terms and conditions of the sale were as follows:
Terms and Conditions of Sale.
Approved notes, satisfactory to the sellers, at four months, paya-
ble in the city of New York for all sums over $100; all sums under
?IO0 — ^cash without discount. Four per cent, discount for cash in

The only difference in the terms as compared with the
May 3 sale was the offering of 4 per cent, for cash in 10
days and 3 per cent, in 30 days, the sellers reserving the
right to demand cash before delivery.
In opening the sale Mr. W. W. Law, of W. & J. Sloane,
spoke as follows:
We take pleasure in calling your attention this morning to the
continuation of the catalogue we offered about a month ago, which
we were unable to complete then without asking you to remain in
town over Sunday.
This catalogue is not made up of surplus stock which has been
left over from a season's sales, but it is made up entirely of the
newest and best patterns of carpet which have been prepared for
the coming season. We have received since the last sale more than
a usual indorsement of the excellence of the patterns that have been
prepared, and we can truly say that after an experience of twenty-
five years in placing these goods upon the market no line of pat-
terns has ever been placed before you of equal merit with these.
We therefore ask your attention to them with confidence.
About all the leading jobbing and retail buyers at the
former sale were present and there were a large number
of new faces representing retailers from distant parts of
the country who were not in attendance a month ago.
The first lot offered was No. 1815, comprising two pieces
of pattern 531 F Palisade Tapestry. It was knocked
down to Darling & Co., of New York, at 35 cents; the
next lots brought 33, 35}^, 33, 33}^, 32^4 in succession,
the average of 17 lots being 33. 13 cents. The highest price
on the first 17 lots of the F's was 35J^ and the lowest 31

There was a tendency ainong the jobbing buyers to re-
frain from bidding except when a balance was put up, in
which case their offers were 2^ cents or more under
the first knock-down price of the lot. The jobbers would
also take some lots of patterns at the first knock-down
price where they evidently wanted the pattern being sold.
The prices and bidding slightly improved as the sale
progressed on the 31st ult., and the F Palisade Taps,
seemed to go slower than the other goods.
When bidding was dull or the prices ruled low the auc-
tioneer and Paul Huebner on the stand would remind
the audience that if they wanted the goods they would
have to bid. This was to counteract the tendency to let
a few people do the bidding and then pick out lots from
the duplicates.
As before, good patterns brought higher prices than the
undesirable ones, the greens and reds always being in
demand.
The result of the sale on Tuesday indicated that all the
goods offered in the catalogue would be taken up although
it inight require more time and harder work on the part
of the crier.
We noted that some dealers, both wholesale and retail,
who were present at the May 3 sale and did not purchase
were among the bityers on Tuesday.
The F Palisade Taps came up again in the afternoon,
and the average price of eighty-three lots was 33^ cents.
The first lot of New Axminsters brought 61 cents, the
average price of ninety-two lots being 53^3 cents, with 61

highest and $1.13>4 the lowest, the average of nineteen
lots being $1.15.
Second Day's Sale.
The sale on Wednesday, June 1, opened with lot 2,200
in E rugs. Out of 1,125 lots 385, or about one-third, were
sold on the first day.
The first lot of E rugs on Wednesday brought $1.16,
with $1.15 the highest and $1.05 the lowest in .34 lots, the
average being $1.08?^.
The first lot of large Axminster rugs, 12.4x11.4 feet,
brought $12.75, with $14 as highest and $11 the lowest,
the average of the seven lots sold being $14.16.
B Palisades opened at 38 cents, and the highest price in
seventy-three lots was 40 and lowest 35, with an average
of 37-1.
Saxony Axminsters opened at 51 cents, and in 91 lots
the highest was 53 cents and lowest 49 cents, with the
average 51}4 cents.
Velvets averaged 59.27 cents, the highest being QZyi
cents and lowest 57)^ cents. .
Savoniieries averaged 77.18 cents, the highest being 92
and lowest 69.
Ne Plus Ultra 4-4 nigs averaged $4, the highest being
$4.12>^ and lowest $4.
J rugs averaged $2.27>^, the highest being $3.40 and

E rugs averaged $1.10, with highest $1.16>2 and lowest
$1.06, in 33 lots.
Moquette mats averaged 59 cents, with highest 61 and
lowest 553^ cents.
It will be noted that prices were generally lower on the
second day and that the only goods which showed an
advance over the May 4 sale were the large Axminster
rugs, which averaged $14.16, as compared with $12.50 at
the first sale, and Savonneries.
The E rugs dropped 5 to 10 cents on Wednesday below
the Tuesday prices.
The attendance kept up well on Wednesday, there
being 350 to 400 buyers in the salesroom The goods
were being all taken up, as every lot and duplicates cata-
logued were sold before taking up the next lot.
The majority of the goods up to the afternoon of the
second day was bought by retailers and was widely dis-
tributed over the country.
The jobbers were using great caution in bidding and
purchasing, aiming to secure their goods at lowest prices,
and with few exceptions all bought something. The in-
dications on the afternoon of the second day were that
everything on the catalogue would be sold.
The total quantity of carpeting comprised in the
catalogue was about 48,000 rolls, with 3,165 bales of
E rugs, 372 bales of J rugs, 541 bales of large Ax-
minster rugs, 261 bales of Ne Plus Ultra rugs and
2,156 bales of Moquette mats — a total of 6,495 bales of
rugs and mats. The catalogue was so arranged that each
grade of carpeting would be represented in every day's
sale.
Regarding the wisdom of holding these two large auc-
tion sales the other manufacturers of Taps, and Velvets
generally decline to give an opinion.
They say they cannot control or dii'ect the action of the
Smith Company or W. & J. Sloane, having no right to
interfere in another man's business methods.
They are using their own best judgement to hold their
trade, and beUeve values of Taps and Velvets will be
shortly settled on a stable basis.
The sale will probably be ended Thursday afternoon or
Friday morning and a full report of the closing days will
be given in our June 15 issue.
REGULAR PRICES FOR TAPESTRIES
AND VELVETS NOT YET FIXED.
PRICES of Tapestries and Velvets on regular new fall
goods have not yet been fixed. S. Sanford & Sons,
E. S. Higgins Carpet Company, Roxbury Carpet Com-
pany and Stinson Brothers all say they have not settled on
regular prices, but will doubtless do so very shortly.
S. Sanford & Sons say that the interregnum of special
prices will continue until regular figures are decided upon.
That is, they are making prices on the goods offered, but
do not intend to continue these prices and may change
them any day.
Mr. R. T. Perkins, vice-president of the E. S. Higgins
Carpet Company, was asked his opinion in regard to pres-
ent prices and the policy of his company, and in answer
said: " During the past four weeks we have been clearing
out stock — that is, cleaning outlast season's goods, just as
we usually do in May and November of each year. When
the situation is more settled we shall make prices and send
our salesmen on the road."
THE WORCESTER COMPANY'S NEW CARPET RUGS.
THE Worcester Carpet Company are oifering for the first
time for the fall season a line of Wilton rugs in Ori-
ental and Indian styles, made in thick Wilton fabric in
sizes from 27 by 54 inches to 15 by 18 feet. The great
variety of sizes will enable dealers to fit almost any room,
and the Worcester Company have very ably met the de-
mand of the times in the line now offered. The patterns
will be found altogether original and different from any
other makers. The Wilton rugs are shown by T. J. Kev-
eney & Co., selling agents for Wm. Jas. Hogg & Son, 898
Broadway, New York, and communications addressed to
either New York or Worcester will provide opportunities
for viewing the samples.
THE TAFT CARPET SEWING MACHINE.
ONE of the special features of the Taft carpet sewing
machines is their adaptation to thread the using of

chines now in use and the satisfaction given by them
thoroughly prove all the claims made, and the fullest op-
portunity is given for testing the merits of the machine
before consummating its purchase. Write to J. C. Taft,
40 Friendship street. Providence, R. I., for all particulars.

In our last issue it was said that John M. Smyth, the
Chicago carpet and furniture dealer, had unfurled before
his store the largest American flag in the world, the
dimensions being 40x75 feet. We have since learned
that there is a larger flag, which is owned by Arnold,
Constable & Co., of this city. It measures 50x75 feet.
It was hung across Broadway from the firm's building
during the Presidential campaign of 1896.
President Henry Siegmund, of the Furniture and Car-
pet Store Employees' Association of Brooklyn, reports
progress in the movement for closing the stores at 6 p. m.,

now open. " We are endeavoring to persuade the public
to purchase before 6 o'clock at night, and respectfully ask
all labor organizations to impress their members and their
wives and families with the duty of helping tis. We trust
that the Brooklyn clergy also will aid us to secure a little
more time for recreation and home culture."

only $1,200 instead of $15,000, as originally reported.
The daily papers distorted the other facts as well, in con-

tion of Stinson Brothers' carpeting.
The London Cabinet Maker says: " The Singer Manu-
facturing Company have recently been fully occupied in
supplying their electric carpet sewing machines to many
large American furnishing houses. They now make ma-
chines for every variety of carpet, rug, curtain and win-
dow shade sewing, and it is only just to say that no carpet
dealer or upholsterer can afford to ignore their inventions
if he desires to keep to the front."

BOSTON BUDGET.
A patent decision has just been rendered in which J. R.
Leeson & Co., of this city are deeply interested. The ap-
plication for protection was upon a system of
winding yarn for knitting and other purposes.
'^ ' The case has been under consideration for
more than five years, and the favorable decision of the
patent commissioner declares that " The patent which is
the subject of this application is an invention of a character
which, under the public statutes, is entitled to protection.
It is true that the invention is a very simple one, but it is
not an obvious one, and it moreover appears to be very
valuable." The Universal system of winding to which
this applies is revolutionizing the winding of fine yarns,
and is being rapidly adopted by up-to-date mills, being
now in successful operation in some of the most important
yarn spinning establishments in the country.

CORPORATION LAW IN MASSACHUSETTS.
THE following law passed by the Legislature of Massa-
chusetts applies to all corporations in that State
whose capital is $100,000 or more:
An Act Relative to Certificates and Returns of Corporations.
Bt' it enacted. Qr^c, as follows :
Section 1. Every corporation whose capital stock is $100,000 or
more, which is required to file a certificate of its condition annually

of the acts of the year 1891, shall cause such certificate to be accom-
panied by a written statement made under oath by an auditor to be
employed by a committee of three stockholders who are not direct-
ors, selected at the annual meeting of the stockholders, stating that
the certificate aforesaid represents the true condition of the affairs
of said corporation as disclosed by its books at the time of making
such audit ; and said sworn statement made by said auditor shall be
attached to and form part of said certificate, an 1 shall be filed by

The Carpet Trade Review.
STOPPING FRAUDULENT ADVERTISEMENTS.
I^HE new law intended to prevent " fake" advertising in
this State does not please everybody. A Phila-
delphia paper in criticising it says :
From now on we shall look for fun in New York State, as this law
is calculated to produce it if anything can. John Jones, the grocer,
who declares that his strawberries are the very best in town, will be
liable to suit from Smith, the other grocer, who claims that his are
far better, and that Jones' contrary statement was a willful misrep-
resentation. The one fact which will defeat this bill and make it a
dead letter from the very start is the fact that values are largely
matters of opinion. A man may conscientiously believe that a given
piece of merchandise is the best possible to produce, and may say
so in his advertisement. Notwithstanding his sincerity he may be
wrong, and the competitor who knows it will have a perfectly good
case against him for misleading the public. Another weakness is
the lack of competent definition for the word "misleading." Sup-
pose a New York woman reads one of John Wanamaker's advertise-
ments. By that advertisement she forms a mental picture of a silk
skirt which is advertised. She goes to the store prepared to buy
and discovers that the skirt is greatly inferior to her mental picture
of it. She claims that the advertisement misled her. It seems to
us that she would have a good case, even though the advertisement
had been perfectly fair and that her expectations were unreasonable.
These contingencies and a hundred others will certainly arise under
this law, provided it is enforced. Probably the main reason why it
can never be enforced, however, is the fact that limitless dishonesty
can be practiced by the big stores, both in the way of personal rep-
resentations to customers and in advertising, which can never be
detected. Take a department store employing 1,000 salesmen. Who
can watch these to see that their representations are honest ? One
of the most prevalent practices of the department stores is to adver-
tise articles at "$2,98, worth $4." Often these claims of quality are
lies, yet what an endless process to run them down and adjudicate
them all in the light of staple market values ! Such goods may be
worth the sum named by certain standards and not worth it by
others. Who is to say what standard will be applied ? Staple arti-
cles are worth what they will bring in the open market, yet there
are various considerations which add to value, such as antiquity,
association with notables, and so on. Our idea is that this law will
be made practically inoperative by the department stores them-
selves. The backers of the honest advertising law have banked on
the belief that several of the big stores would watch their competi-
tors, and thus help in the law's enforcement. But this will probably
not be so. This law may succeed, but we shall be exceedingly sur-
prised if it does. The only form of dishonesty which can be made
a matter of legislation is dishonesty that takes a public and tangible
form.
It is possible that the law will fail for the reasons given
in the foregoing paragraph, but it is not the less true that
if it were enforced in a reasonable manner, according to
its plain intent, it would put an end to many kinds of im-
position which are now entirely unchecked. The fraudu-
lent auction sales of Oriental rugs could be quickly stopped
rmder this statute, and if they are not ended there will be
good cause to suspect that certain police officials and mag-
istrates in some cities are shielding the promoters of
these swindles for reasons best known to themselves.
The sale of domestic goods as of foreign manufacture
would also be prevented, and the credit due to our own
manufacturers could not be taken from them, as it so often
is now, by selling their product as imported goods to satisfy
the demands of the ignorant or prejudiced class that
always prefers the goods with foreign labels.
PRISON MADE GOODS.
PROPOSED NATIONAL LEGISLATION CONCERNING THEM.
THE House Committee on Labor has reported favorably
a bill relating to the marking and transportation of
prison made goods, as drafted by Representative Coch-
rane, of New York. The bill is as follows:
Sec. 1. Be it enacted, &c., that no person shall knowingly transport
or cause to be delivered for transportation, for commercial purposes,
from any State or Territory in which they are in whole or in part
manufactured, any manufactured goods, wares or merchandise in
whole or in part the product of convict labor in any penitentiary,
prison or reformatory, or other establishment in which convict labor
is employed, into any other State or Territory or into the District of
Columbia.

■■I OBITUARY NOTES. ^^
A. C. Zeigler, for several years a salesman in D. G. Hend-
ricks' carpet store at Chester, Pa., died suddenly on May
1 0 at his mother's home, near Rehersber^, Berks County,
Pa. Mr. Zeigler seemed hale and hearty until about three
months ago, when a serious kidney trouble developed,
which compelled him to quit work and go to his mother's
liome to recuperate his health. Instead of improving,
his condition grew worse until his death. He leaves a
widow and one child. His agreeable manner, steady
habits and prompt attention to business made him a
valuable aid in Mr. Hendricks' establishment.

The Carpet Trade Review.
MR. HARDWICK'S LATEST INVENTION.
PATENT No. G04,320, dated May 17, 1898, just issued
to Mr. Harry Hardwick, of the Ivins, Dietz &
Metzger Company, of Philadelphia, represents a phe-
nomenon in 3 shoot high pile Wilton fabric, astonishing in
its technique and admitting of almost unlimited design
and color effects.
The ordinary Wilton carpet has the reputation of being
about the best carpet in the market, all things considered.
A special size and quality of carpel worsted is used, and it
is generally well beaten up on the 3 shoot plan, while the 4,
5 or 6 frames of heavy worsted running through the middle
of the fabric and appearing only at intervals on the face of
the carpet, as the design may dictate, supply a bind un-
surpassed by any other tufted carpet fabric. But on ac-
count of the expense more than four or five frames are
seldom used, and for the same reason an ordinary height
of pile is adhered to, so that while Wilton is a very de-
sirable fabric in every other way for large rugs, such as
9x12 feet, &c. , it lacks height of pile and variety of color.
It is these two objections particularly that are overcome
by Mr. Hardwick's new invention, for, in addition to its
retaining all the ordinary advantages of the Wilton fabric,
there is added by Mr. Hardwick's process a luxuriously
high pile, and an almost unlimited number of frames of
color are at the disposal of the designers, enabling the
manufacturer to produce rugs in carpet sizes, 9x12, &c. ,
desirable in technique, pile, design, color, style, effect,
weight, &c.
We predict a large demand for this fabric, appearing as
it does just at this time when such goods are particularly
sought after.
P. J. Murphy & Co., Kaign's Point, Camden, N. J.,
show for the fall trade an excellent line of floor oil cloths,
including rugs and stairs. The goods are standard quality,
and are shown in a large variety of new and original
patterns.
The line of rubber matting and mats manufactured by
the New Jersey Car Spring and Rubber Company, comer
of Wayne and Brunswick streets, Jersey City, N. J.,
includes corrugated and embossed matting, corrugated
mats and treads, perforated mats and solid back mats.
Write for the company's prices, samples and illustrated
catalogue.
The Chelsea Jute Mills manufacture hemp carpeting
and Imperial Napier matting on a very extensive scale,
and their new line for the coming season is especially
attractive, all the established favorites and a large number
of new and handsome effects being represented in the
assortment of patterns. The mills' salesroom is at 316
Broadway, New York, where the fall line is now on view.
Ferdinand Werner, proprietor of the Sterling Mills,
northwest comer of Hancock and Somerset streets,
Philadelphia, has his new lines of all wool and C. C.
Extra Supers and Pro-Brussels carpets ready for the fall
trade, and they are the most attractive he has ever shown.
The line of Pro- Brussels deserves the prompt attention of
buyers, as Mr. Werner has devoted special care to its prep-
aration and has made it so desirable that no buyer should
fail to see it.
HARTFORD CARPET COMPANY.
EUNE Martin & Sons,
Hartford Building,
Broadway and Seven-
teenth street. New
York, have on view
the offerings of the
Hartford Carpet Com-
pany for the fall trade
and in these goods
the company has un-
doubtedly surpassed
all its previous efforts.
The offerings com-
prise Wiltons, Brus-
sels, Axminsters, In-
grains, Art Squares,
Saxony carpets and
. rugs, chenille rugs,
pile terries, &c. In
both Wiltons and Brussels will be found a wide range of
su.perb artistic effects in designs and colorings. The same
remark applies to the Axminsters, which are shown in an
extended line replete with novel, original and choice
effects which cannot fail to find quick and wide apprecia-
tion.
In the Ingrain and Art Square market the product of
the Hartford Company is always an especially conspicuous
feature, and its lines for the coming season are larger and
in every way even more attractive than ever before.
Saxony carpets and rugs and chenille rugs are also
shown in enlarged and especially attractive lines. The
Saxony carpets have already won great favor in the trade,
and the new styles shown in them and in the rugs show
that the manufacturers are determined to maintain and
enhance the excellent reputation now held by these goods.

JOSEPH WILD & CO.'S FALL OFFERINGS.
wOxNG the semi-annual offerings
to the trade those of Joseph
Wild & Co. cover a field so
wide that no dealer in floor
coverings should fail to see
them.
The firm are very extensive
manufacturers of linoleum,
table, stair and shelf oil cloths,
Smyrna rugs and mats, Art
Squares, cocoa matting and mats, Napier matting, goat
skin rugs, sheep skin mats, &c. In linoleum they offer
both the inlaid and printed goods in an immense range of
new and standard patterns. Their inlaid linoleum has
been especially successful, being manufactured by a new
and improved process which produces goods superior in
quality and especially attractive in patterns. In Smyrna
rugs and mats and Art Squares the offerings are particu-
larly large and important, the manufacture of these goods
having been a verj- prominent feature of Joseph Wild &
Co.'s business for many years past. All grades are rep-
resented in the lines and a great number of new patterns
have been added, making altogether an assortment well
calculated to meet every possible demand of all classes of
trade, and satisfy the most exacting critic of designs and
colorings.
Another conspicuous feature of Joseph Wild & Co.'s
establishment is their Oriental rug department. They
are large importers of these goods, and their facilities and
connections in the Orient enable them to present excep-
tionally strong inducements to buyers. Their present of-
ferings are the most extensive and interesting ever made
by them, embracing an immense range of makes and
grades in both modem and antique goods.
The firm's lines are shown at their New York headquar-
ters, 8"^ and 84 Worth street; their branch office, 611
Washington street, Boston, and by their travelers on the
road.
ARNOLD, CONSTABLE & CO.'S
SELKIRK WILTON RUGS.
IX the rug department of Arnold, Constable & Co., the
the new line of Selkirk Wiltons in carpet sizes is an
especially notable feature. The sizes range from 6x9 up
to 11x13 feet and the assortment of patterns is particularly
extensive and attractive, over thirty different effects being
embraced in the line Among the new designs, one is a
large medallion in several colors on a plain ground; an-
other is a Ghiordes all-over pattern and a third is an exact
reproduction of a rug shown at the Austrian Exhibition of
Oriental rugs and regarded as the best patterns in that
exceptionally choice collection. In the line are included
also some fine two tone effects in eight or ten shadings of
red, blue, green, pink, &c. Altogether this line is one
certain to make a highly favorable impression. See
Arnold, Constable & Co.'s new advertisement on page 2
of the cover.
THE BATTLE OF MANILA BAY.
THE following poem appeared first in the Brooklyn
Eagle of the 14th ult. Its author, Robert Kidson,
is well known in the trade and is now connected with the
retail carpet department of Abraham & Straus, Brooklyn.
Some years ago Mr. Kidson was a frequent contributor to
The Review.
I.
We steamed into Manila Bay with lights all out and dark.
The garrisons on either side awoke and whispered
" Hark 1 "
The throbbing of the engines was all the sound we heard.
Save the throbbing of our beating hearts which loud with-
in us stirred ;
For ho ! to be a sailor lad upon that glorious night.
For the morrow was upon us, and we hungered for the
fight.
II.
We passed the foes on either side, which scarce a shot or
shell.
The enemy was treacherous, we knew his tactics well ;
The waters of Manila Bay were mined with deadl}"- care.
We knew not what the end would be, or how the fleet
would fare ;
But on we steamed to meet the foe, reckless of fort or
mine;
Our coolness was American, the vengeance was divine.
III.
Oh! retribution may be slow and centuries ensue
Ere years of cruelty will end and tyrants get their due;
For who shall say we craved a war? 'Twas that the hour
had struck !
The hour of doom for cruel Spain ! the rest was Yankee
pluck ;
Lord! how the cannon roared and shrieked midst shot and
angry shell.
And how we cheered " Old Glory " in the very teeth of
hell !
IV.
At last the intrepid Dewey withdrew his little fleet.
The cloud of smoke uplifted and oh! the air was sweet!
We looked to meet the foe once more, the dozen ships of
Spain,
But they had gone below, my boys, to join the gallant
JIaine;
'Twas ho! to be a sailor upon that first of May!
And live to fight again, my boys, and shout on Dewey
day! Rorert Kidson.
The fall line of Smyrna and Soudan rugs and carpets
mads by the Newfield Smyrna Rug Company is ready for
inspection and the samples are shown by J. G. Burrows &
Co., the sole agents, 343 Broadway, New York. The
line includes rugs in all sizes from door mats to 9 by 13
carpets. The large sizes are made in carpet patterns, a
new feature exclusive with the Newfield Company, and
the favor with which this innovation has been received
indicates that the product will be freely taken up. Be-
tween forty and fifty patterns are shown in animal, Tur-
kish and Oriental designs. Jobbing buyers will find it to
their advantage to view the line before placing fall orders.

The Caui'kt Trade Review.
AROUND AND ABOUT.
KisoN labor is the cause of
much contention in certain
trades abroad, as well as in
this country. Recently at
I'arkeston, England, about
ninety dozen cocoa mats, im-
ported from Belgium, and
valued at between ^^300 and
/A^] ('^^^^^^==>^^^^^ ;^400 sterling, were piled in
(G ^ a heap on the banks of the
Stour, and set fire to, to-
gether with a quantity of cigars, bottles
of varnish and other mixtures containing
spirits, which were not worth the duty chargeable. The
occasion was the first enforcement of the " Foreign Prison-
Made Goods Act" of 1897. The act provides that "goods
proved to the satisfaction of the Commissioners of Cus-
toms, by evidence tendered to them, to have been made or
produced wholly or in part in any foreign prison, jail,
house of correction or penitentiary, except goods in transit
or not imported for the purpose of trade, or of a descrip-
tion not manufactured in the United Kingdom," shall be
added the table of prohibitions and restrictions of the Cus-
tom's Consolidation act. That is, they may be seized by
the customs oflicers and disposed of in any way they may
think fit. The parties who moved the commissioners in
this case were the representadves of the Mat and Matting-
Manufacturers' Association, and the mats seized and
burned were made at a penal colony in Belgium,,and con-
signed to England at prices with which, it is alleged, free
labor cannot possibly compete. The necessary evidence
having been obtained as .to their origin, various consign-
ments of the mats were retained in Februaiy, and the
manufacturers concerned having entered into a bond to
indemnify the customs if any mistake had been made —
the bonfire referred to took place.
\ CLERK in a Springfield (Mass.) store had sweet re-
venge the other day on a woman who had annoyed
him. She wanted to look at baskets, and for that pur-
pose the clerk took from the shelves a large assortment,
until all but two were scattered over the counter. The
woman did not want to buy, so she turned away, making
the excuse, "I only came in to look for one of my
friends."
The clerk felt rather exasperated, and replied, "Madame,
if you have the slightest idea that your friend is in either
of those two baskets still on the shelves, I shall be pleased
to take them down for you to examine. "
\ BUSINESS man well known as a large and skillful adver-
tiser says :
" I consider advertising through circulars a very poor
method and a very expensive one. As part of an adver-
tising campaign a well written circular, sent out periodi-
cally, has its uses the same as have other links in the long
chain of modern advertising methods. Its strongest point
is that its issue can be limited to a select list of prospective
customers, and bearing a two cent stamp it is not always
without benefit.
"But the idea has been so awfully overdone. Thou-
sands upon thousands of houses use circulars, and the
daily mail is burdened. The sight of one has become an
eyesore to the recipient. The mail carrier seems to be
afflicted in the same way, for he tosses it on the table like
a thing he hates — and have you not often completed his
intent by sweeping it pell-mell into the waste basket ?
"Theycost $20 a thousand to mail, and 20,000 times more
time to prepare than you have time to waste. When you
compile them you think fondly of their merit, and wholly
fail to remember that you tossed aside nine in ten of those
received yesterday without so much as looking at them.
"Will your circular meet with a better reception ? You
say, yes, because you intend getting up an attractive one ;
good paper, good type, elegant half-tones, a sort of sou-
venir that will be preserved. No doubt, you yourself
have in your time received some pretty ones — now, can-
didly, how large is your collection of souvenirs ? And
where are they ? Do you brush your elbows against them
every time you plunge into your ink bottle, or are the real .
pretty ones locked away in your bottom drawer, serving
out a penance of oblivion worse than that of the cheap and
nasty ones you consigned without ceremony to the rag
man's heap?
"At one time, a long while ago, I prepared an expensive
circular, thinking that if gotten up in supreme taste it
would be preserved and do a deal of good. The next
noon after they were mailed, my junior partner visited a
friend to whom one had been directed, and found the re-
cipient's infant son, who had been left in the inner office
while mamma made a hurried call, contentedly sitting on
the floor tearing it to tatters. It was a pretty- pamphlet,
you know, full of pictures, and given to amuse the lad.
" No matter how attractively prepared, the result of the
best observation is that they remain unappreciated. And
how expensive! The $100 invested compiling and float-
ing them — I like the term ' float ' with reference to circu-
lars— might be spent to better advantage in a steady
advertisement, even though a small one, in a good paper.
Compared with the best circular ever written a good ad.
is so cheap as to distance it in every way."
i^NE of the pleasant incidents connected with the de-
parture of the Sixty-ninth Regiment from Camp
Black for the South was the presentation by J. H. Mullins,
the Brooklyn carpet and furniture dealer, of two service
swords, belts and scabbards and two sets of spurs to
Major Thomas Lynch and to Adjutant Gilgal. Adjutant
Gilgal was formerly salesman for many years in Mr.
Mullins' establishment and has been a member of the
Sixty-ninth Regiment for a dozen years or more. He was
promoted to the adjutancy from first lieutenant of Com-
pany K some time ago. Major Lynch is an intimate
friend of Mr. Mullins.
/'^HALK is one of the most important crude materials
^ brought to this country for manufacturing purposes.
It enters largely into the manufacture of oil cloth and
wall paper. It is one of the few articles used in the trades
which come almost exclusively from Europe. Some chalk
beds have been discovered in the United States, but the
expense of transporting it is too great to make the home
product a successful competitor with the foreign article,
It is found in the bank of the Thames River, at Dieppe and
The Cakpet Tbade Review.
near Copenhagen, and is shipped to this country in its
crude condition. There is no duty on chalk and it usually
comes as ballast in bulk. About 125,000 tons came to the
United States last year.
There is nothing complicated about its preparation for
the market. It is placed in huge grinding machines,
where it is ground in water and then floated ofif into vats,
where all foreign substances and impurities are pre-
cipitated. The water is then drawn off by a series of
filtering operations and the soft residuum is dried by steam
heat and exposure to the air. By means of burr mills and
belting the white substance is then reduced to a powder,
packed in barrels and shipped for use.
IMPORTANCE OF THE ERIE CANAL.
rHii Merchants' Association has addressed a letter to
Governor Black on the subject of the improvement
of the Erie Canal, in which it says;
We believe that canal improvement should be made by the State
itself. We believe also that there is no time to be lost in commenc-
ing that improvement. If that mo.st magniUcent of v/aterways can
be brought up to the standard to which it ought to be brought, it can
serve (even better than it has served in the past) as the great
regulator of freight rates to and from the seaboard lying at the foot
of the Hudson River,
Were that canal system placed in a position where it can be
more of a factor as the basing point from which freight rates could
be determined, both east and west bound, the railroads traversing
the State of New York, which have their termini at or near this
port could be placed in a position where they could refuse to con-
tinue the present system of arbitrary differentials now existing,
which enable roads not having their termini at New York, but serv-
ing other cities primarily, to divert traffic from the metropolis to
those cities.

The fall line of the James Hall Carpet Company is now
ready. It comprises Pro-Brussels, Ingrains, Damasks,
Venetians, Graiiite Ingrains and Domestics and is the most
attractive ever shown by the company. The Pro-Brussels
are an especially strong line and the Unions are also a
very notable feature. The Washington Mills' Pro- Brussels
and Unions are specialties of remarkable attractiveness,

FUSSY CUSTOMERS AND WORRIED DEALERS.
Ai.KiNG to a Sun reporter re-
cently about the troubles
of his trade, a large car-
pet and furniture dealer
said; "It seems to me
sometimes that our big
stores are run primarily
for the convenience of
shopping women, and, in the
background, the firm gets a little
profit, if it may. Certainly the
shopping women do not hesitate
to demand the most extraordi-
nary concessions.
"A woman came into the car-
pet department the other day to
look at floor coverings. She was ex-
tremely hard to please, and finally
the salesman said that he would
send home to her a roll of carpet
that she might spread it on the floor
and see if it harmonized with her
hangings and furnishings, it being,
she explained, very difficult for her
to carry their coloring in her eye.
This was done, and a second visit
from the customer followed. She
wasn't quite sure that the shade was
quite right, and would we mind
sending up another roll which
showed a little darker design ? This was done, and the
day after she came in enthusiastic. The carpet was per-
fectly suitable in every way, and we might go ahead and
make it up.
" It was a handsome Moquette carpet, and the room was
large, \vith several deviations from regularity. Measures
were taken and the order finished at the prescribed time.
It left the house one Thursday morning, and was put down
before night. On Friday she appeared at the store. In a
few moments the salesman who had conducted the pro-
ceedings thus far sent for me. I found the woman in one
of the most difficult moods we encounter in customers.
She threw herself absolutely on our mercy. She said that
we had done everything in our power, and she had sup-
posed that the carpet was a perfect success; 'but,
she said, 'instead, it is absolutely intolerable. On the
floor made up it looks very different from what it did on
the floor spread out. It cheapens everything I've got in
the room, takes the color out of some things and gives to
others a most unaccountable glare. Why, when I enter
that room a feeling of nausea comes over me. I cannot
describe it, but I cannot live with that carpet Now what
will you do about it ? '
'• The question was rather a poser to me, for she was a
good customer, and I knew that the firm would want to
do everything possible. I suggested that it would be
cheaper to have an inexpensive new papering put on the
walls, which was possibly the cause of this testhetic dis-
turbance. But no, she had just had new paper put on ;
that could not be changed. The carpet must come up,
and she would never have another one down there. She
would have a hardwood floor. I suggested that we would
like to furnish her estimates on the hardwood floor, but
this she would not listen to until we could do something
with the carpet, as she could not afford two floor cover-
ings. Well, in the end I sent for the carpet. I agreed to
deduct the value of the laying and making from her bill,
and the carpet I would attempt to sell. We did make an
effort, showing it to several persons, but the fact that it
had been a misfit aroused everybody's suspicion, and we
could not dispose of it. Finally we sent it to an auction
room, getting about half of the selling price. On referring
the matter to the firm it was decided that half of the loss
should be borne by the house in order to hold the cus-
tomer, although there was not the slightest blame on our
side, and we had done more than we were really expected
to do in an effort to please the woman."
THE BISSELL COMPANY'S TOY CARPET SWEEPERS.
rHK Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company has issued the
following circular:
To The Trade:
The phenomenal sale of Bissell's toy sweepers for the season o£
1897 was due to two important facts — namely, quality of the goods,
and ridiculously low prices.
Now, as we regard the distribution of these little sweepers
throughout the homes as one of the best advertisements we could
possibly have, and that their use will stimulate the demand for our
regular domestic size brands, we have concluded for this season to
waive all profits in the sale of toy sweepers, depending entirely for
our benefits in an advertising way.
We quote you prices, as follows:
Bissell's Little Jewel, listing at $6 per dozen; Bissell's Little
Queen, listing at $3.50 per dozen; Bissell's Child's, listing at $2.50
per dozen; Bissell's Baby, listing at $3 per dozen; Bissell's Little
Daisy, listing at $1.50 per dozen. Terms, sixty days net; i per
cent., ten; delivered in gross lots or more to points east of the
Missouri River.
As our domestic size sweepers stand at the head in their class, so
does our toy line eclipse anything of the kind offered on the market
to-day. While reducing our prices, the quality of the goods will be
strictly maintained, and we desire to further assure you that prices
herewith named on our toy line are guaranteed.
It must be remembered that the above prices are made on the best
constructed, best finished, best selling line of toy sweepers on the
market, hence should not be compared with prices offered on inferior
tin toy machines, which do not possess a single meritorious feature
in common with our goods. If you want a tin top toy sweeper we
can supply it, and at a price that will save you money. We strongly
recommend, however, that you only buy our high grade toy sweep-
ers, which contain our best construction and bear our name.
We should be pleased to furnish you a quantity of circulars as per
inclosed, as well as electros for illustrating our toy line in your
catalogue. Trusting that we may have your instructions to enter
your order for your wants in .toy sweepers for the season of 1898, and
hoping to hear from you soon, we remain,

The Carpet Trade Review.
Their History and manufacture.
(Continued from our issue of April 15.)
Smyrna Rugs.
SMYRNA rug is simply a chenille Axminster
fabric with the wool distributed on both
sides, instead of only on the face. The
goods were at first a by-product of the
factory of the Messrs. Templeton at Glas-
gow. This firm were the original manu-
facturers of the chenille Axminister car-
peting, and from the waste chenille they
made what they called an Afghan rug,
which had a double instead of a single face. The goods
were woven only in hit or miss or mottled patterns, and the
Oriental and other effects now the prevailing styles in
these rugs originated in this country.
The double faced chenille fabric was first made by
European manufacturers of shawls, and it was these
shawls which suggested to carpet manufacturers the idea
of making a floor covering of the same material.
Robert Beattie & Sons were pioneers in the manufac-
ture of Smyrna rugs in this country. They were perhaps
the earliest manufacturers of thein, and they were cer-
tainly the first to make them in any considerable quantity.
They made them at first by sewing together breadths of
chenille carpeting, and sewing on a border, which was
woven with separate corner pieces to avoid mitering. The
goods were made in one size, 6x9 feet, and sold as " Turk-
istan " carpets.
Most of them were bought by Joseph Wild & Co., and
it was this firm that suggested to the Messrs. Beattie the
idea of reproducing Oriental patterns, a Ghiordes rug
being selected as the first to be copied.
Sheppard Knapp, of Sheppard Knapp & Co., believes
that Job Pearson made the first piece of chenille carpet in
this country. Mr. Knapp advised Pearson to put a border
on the carpeting, and thus produce an imitation of an
Oriental rug. Mr. Knapp was the first to advertise these
goods as " Smyrnas," and at his suggestion application
was made for a patent on them, but for some reason it was
refused.
Since the starting of the industry in this country, which
was about twenty years ago, many important improve-
ments have been made in the process of manufacture. In
the factory of to-day the dyed yarn is first taken to the
cop winding macnine and wound on cops, which then go
to the weft weaving room. The pattern which is to be
reproduced in the weft is drawn and colored upon the de-
sign paper in the usual manner, but is then cut into strips,
which are called papers. Each strip is a double paper,
each paper representing one shot in the setting loom.
The operative at the weft weaving loom begins her
work by placing one of these strips before her as her
guide in throwing the shuttles containing the weft yarns.
The warp is composed of four cotton threads, but by the
movement of a cam in the loom these threads are twisted
in the weaving operation so as to make two double threads
instead of four single ones. When the pattern on the first
strip has been reproduced in the weft the weaver takes
the strip which comes next in order in the design, and
continues in this way until the entire pattern has been
woven. The chenille, which during the weaving opera-
tion has been wound on a beam, is then taken to the cut-
ting machine, in which a number of small circular blades
fixed on a revolving cylinder come in contact with the
chenille as it passes over another cylinder and cut it into
narrow strips. As quickly as it is cut the twisted tlireads
in each strip cause it to twist itself into the fur-like shape
characteristic of chenille fabric. The strips after passing
through the cutting machine are wound on cops, and are
then ready for the setting loom, in which the warp is cot-
ton thread and the chenille fur the weft, with a shot of
jute yarn between each strip as filling. From this loom
it emerges in the form of rugs, the pattern on the design
paper being exactly reproduced in the woven rug. From
the loom the rug goes to the shearing machine, where the
surface is made even, and it is then fringed and finished.
The fringing operation formerly required a great deal of
hand labor, but all or nearly all of this work is now done
by machines
(To be continued.)
BUNDHAR WILTON RUGS.
IT is interesting to notice how the Ivins, Dietz & Metzger
Company manage to score in the carpet size rugs
boom. They are said to have no specially wide looms,
but it is a fact that they are doing a remarkably large
business in their Bundhar Wilton carpet size rugs. In
the first place the Bundhar, patented by Mr. Hardwick,
is particularly suitable for a rug fabric. It lays smooth
on the floor and the tufts are well locked in the fabric,
even close up to the selvedges, so that in the places where
the edges are brought together to form the seam the
perfect matching, careful hand stitching (every stitch
being made by hand) and neat and perfectly tufted
selvedges give the Bundhar Wilton rugs the appearance
of being entirely seamless, and after being in use for a
few days they actually pass as seamless rugs.
Furthermore, the designs, colors and general appearance
adhere so closely to the Oriental style that it is really
difficult to distingitish one from the other, and the Bimdhar
Wiltons will readily be accepted in the consumers' apart-
ments as genuine Oriental rugs.
The Goshen Sweeper Company, Grand Rapids, Mich.,
have recently made a reduction of 10 to 15 per cent, on
all their high grade carpet sweepers, and have also added
to their cheap line a new grade called the "Eureka."
The trade have shown their appreciation of this reduction
in prices by sending in very liberal orders. The company
have added two new salesmen to their force and business
is very active. They believe that the fall trade will be
tmusually good.

A GLIMPSE OF THE WAR.
WHAT A RUG AND CURTAIN MANUFACTURER SAW ON A TRIP TO KEY WEST
AND A CRUISE IN A DISPATCH BOAT.
(SrEClAL CORRKSE'ONDENCE TME CAKl'ET ANli LirllOLSTEkV TRADE REVIEW.)
Port Tampa, Fla., May 18, 1898.
HIS is not a letter about the
war on prices, but a few
notes of what I have
seen and experienced
on my trip to the front.
Leaving New York
city on the Savannah
Line steamer, the
first intimation that
we had that we
were in actual war
was when our
steamer had a nar-
row escape from being blown into the unknown future by
running within a few feet of a submarine mine off Sandy
Hook.' The feeling of relief after the stern of our ship
had passed the danger point cannot be described.
Our voyage was very pleasant until we arrived off Cape
Hatteras, when we ran into a gale. On the third morning
out the passengers were thrown into wild excitement by
the discovery of three steamers, and as the Spanish
Armada was expected to be on a rampage off our coast,
the possibility of hanging to the yardarm or walking the
plank was suggested to some of our passengers, and it was
quite amusing to see the different dispositions made of
valuables, one passenger putting his watch and money in
the belly of a codfish, and others hiding theirs indifferent
parts of the ship.
A railroad journey to Jacksonville and a visit to the
trade showed me that the war had completely paralyzed
all business. Merchants said that they had never ex-
perienced such a sudden and complete falling off of busi-
ness, and while the war lasts they expect to place orders
only for such goods as they require for immediate delivery.
A run from Jacksonville to Palm Beach and Lake Worth,
and a lay over for a day to pay a visit to these celebrated
watering places, and a fine bicycle ride, well repaid me
for the short time spent here, and I heartily recommend a
business man seeking a few weeks' rest from business
cares to run down here. The climate and the tropical
vegetation are a revelation to any Northern man not hav-
ing visited places of this kind. I asked a typical South-
erner; "What do you people live on down here ? " The
answer came quick: "We live on sick Yankees in the
winter time and sweet potatoes in summer."
A day's run to Miami brought us to another beautiful
tropical garden, the Miami Hotel, the river and the splen-
did harbor being the chief attractions. Here we met the
twenty-one Spanish officers and men taken prisoners.
They were all well treated by the residents. In fact the
writer thought the attention lavished on them was entirely
out of place. They were taken into a hotel, one of the
ladies there playing selections on the piano and others serv-
ing them with refreshments. Colonel Cortijo, who told the
United States soldiers that if he were searched that he
would starve himself to death, very gallantly took off a
decoration from his coat and presented it to the lady who
was playing the piano, and he then cut off the gold buttons
from his coat and gave them to the other ladies.
From Miami we took the steamer to Key West, the
seat of the war. This island is situated eighty-three miles
from the mainland and ninety-two miles from Havana,
and is our base of supplies and operations for our navy.
It is three miles wide and six miles long and is very poorly
fortified, having only one new fort and several old ones.
The new fort is but partly completed, and should the
Spanish fleet come into this harbor they would make short
work of the defenses and destroy the town. It is a hot
war town, with everything wide open. Water is scarce and
sells at 10 cents a gallon, and no rain has fallen for five
months. There are no wells and the town is supplied by
rain water drained and stored in cisterns. The Govern-
ment has put up large condensers, and when in operation
will be able to condense 40,000 gallons per hour. When
water is scarce it is brought from Port Tampa in a water
tank steamer. The weather is hot and everything is cov-
ered with white dust ; the streets are unpaved, and the only
rapid transit is by mule cars, clothesline reins being used
for driving. The conductor of the car on which the writer
rode stopped at a Cuban cigar store, bought a cigar, lit it
and enjoyed his smoke. He then stopped at a private
house long enough to eat a square meal. Fare 5 cents,
and journey complete when you get there. The merchants
here report a booming trade and the hotels and private
boarding houses cannot accommodate the rush. The grub
consists of razorback hog and rice.
By the courtesy of Mr. Holland, the United States mar-
shal on the celebrated filibuster Three Friends, I had
my ambition gratified by a run over to Cuba. Starting
away in the evening, the run was made in about
.six hours, which brought us to the blockading fleet off
Cardenas. The first blockader we ran up against was the
gunboat Wilmington, and as it was dark and no light was
visible on the boat, a powerful searchlight was turned on us
and we heard the call through a speaking trumpet, " What
boat is that ? " We had the pleasure of looking up the lane
of the searchlight and seeing the ugly muzzle of a 6 inch
rapid firing gun pointing directly into our faces. A quick
response, "Three Friends," and running up a red and
green light only saved us from a taste of the real stuff.
When they were satisfied we were not a Don boat, the
questions " What news ? Have you any papers ?" came
quickly, whereupon we gave them the news of Dewey's
victory. The crew could not restrain themselves. They
quickly lowered a boat, and we passed in twenty-five
newspapers and some boxes of vegetables of different
kinds. This experience was repeated from port to port
until we arrived early in the morning opposite Matanzas,
where we were treated to the splendid sight of the gun-
boat Montgomery bidding the Dons good morning by
opening upon them with all her guns and knocking down
every vestige of earthworks which had been thrown up.
Nearly every shell either plowed through the works or
burst over the works, and in less than three-quarters of an
hour their guns were either dismounted or had been
deserted. I have seen some good shooting in the civil
war, but for perfect and accurate firing I never saw it

equaled, and as I told an officer, " You can hit a tomato
can five miles away."
After leaving Matanzas we sliirted along the coast until
we came opposite Havana, and had a peep at the grim
walls of Morro Castle. When our navy opens fire upon
this fortification you will see the old thing crumble like a
pack of cards. The blockade at this port is complete in

ing seen by some of our

ships. From Havana we
headed for Key West, and
experienced some hard
\v': '--/ - weather. The Gulf Stream,
which runs four miles an hour, and the southerly wind
coming in contact with each other make a hard sea, and
one which tries the sea legs of a landsman. From Key
West we took the steamer Mascot to Port Tampa, on
board of which was the Key West militia, a handsome
body of brave young men who will certainly be heard from
when they go to Cuba.
At Port Tampa we visited the regulars and inspected all
the camps. There is perfect discipline. The men are in
good health and are spoiling for a fight, and are willing to
go at any time and place, feeling sure that when they
can get a crack at the Dons they will make short work of
them.
From Tampa we returned home, well satisfied with the
three weeks' experience at the front, and believing that if
our Government will only push things to an issue that we
can celebrate a double event on the Fourth of July. .

GLEN ECHO CARPETS AND RUGS.
THE superiority of Glen Echo carpets and rugs in quality
and designs has never been more thoroughly demon-
strated than in the fall offerings now open to the trade.
The collection in new things was completed last week,
so that everything to be shown for the fall may now be
seen at the Philadelphia salesroom, 1012 Chestnut street,
or the New York salesroom, 39 Union square. The pat-
terns in Wiltons, Body Brussels, Extra Supers, Byzantine
Rugs, Arras Tapestries and Arras Art Squares show the
uncommon, novel and beautiful effects characteristic with
McCallum & McCallum, which are the result of courage
to produce bold departures, liberal expenditure in pattern-
ing and the skill coming from long experience of both the
firm members and their staff.

FALL LINES OF RUGS, ART SQUARES,
CURTAINS AND TABLE COVERS.
WT. Smith & Son's line of goods for fall trade is now
. complete and ready for inspection at their New
York office, 337 Broadway. Buyers visiting the big auc-
tion sale are particularly invited to call there. This firm
have taken exceptional care in bringing out new patterns in
Smyrna rugs, Art Squares and chenille goods. A com-
plete new line of new colorings is their strong point in
Art Squares. They have added some handsome patterns
in Oriental designs and colors to their line of Smyrna
rugs in the carpet sizes of the popular Royal Axminster
grade, and orders already placed indicate that they are
sure winners. Their Regent and Gold Eagle grades of
rugs are kept up to the standard, both in quality and
designs.
They have also enlarged their line in chenille goods in
dado and all figured curtains and in chenille covers, and
as these grades of goods are in better demand than for-
merly they expect a good business for this fall.
A notable novelty in rugs is a design of the battleship
"Maine," which is meeting with a very active de-
mand, and sells to all the trade handling rugs.
Buyers who cannot call at their New York office can
have samples shown them by dropping a postal to any of
the different offices in all centres of trade. See ad. on
colored page for office address.

FARR & BAILEY COMPANY'S NEW ILLUSTRATIONS.
IN this number will be found a view in colors of the ex-
tensive floor oil cloth works of the Farr & Bailey Man-
ufacttiring Company at Camden, N. J. The representa-
tion as regards the number of buildings and extent of

chinery buyers can understand that the Farr & Bailey
Manufacturing Company are in a foremost position in
competing for trade in floor oil cloths.

c
SHOCKED DESIGNERS APPEAL TO THE LAW.
THEY OBJECT TO "POPULAR EFFECTS" ON THE FRONT OF THEIR BUILDING
HE artistic soul of Arthur M. Rose,
the carpet designer, has been har-
rowed for five months past by the
persistence of F. Klaber, a tenant
of the Rose Building, in using a
sign having a sky blue ground with
gilt letters, a combination con-
demned by Mr. Rose as entirely
out of harmony with the front of
the building, which is a delicate
symphony in pale orange yellow
with occasional dashes of green and pink. Mr. Rose is
determined that this truly artistic pattern shall not be
marred by any "striking popular effects " such as might
delight the eyes of a Bowery carpet dealer; and as Mr.
Klaber is equally determined to have his own way in this
matter, the law has been invoked to settle the dispute.
The scene of the "merry war" is the building at No.
121 West Forty-second street, this city, owned by Arthur
M. Rose & Co. This firm occupy the upper part and the
ground floor is held by Mr. Klaber, agent for a piano com-
pany, who claims to have a five years' lease. When Mr.
Klaber first hung out the offending sign he was mildly
notified that such a shock to all testhetic ideas could not be
permitted; but as he paid no attention to this remonstrance
it is alleged that Rose & Co. ot once instructed Billy, the
janitor, to deface the sign with benzine. This was done
under cover of night by someone, but Mr. Klaber imme-
diately sent for the painters again, and the result of their
work was again destroyed on the following night by some-
one's benzine and brush. The fight went on in this way
for several weeks, and the painters were hoping to make a
small fortune from their daily job when Klaber finalh' ap-
pealed to the court. Learned counsel were engaged on
both sides, and old and musty records were dug up, and the
rights of landlords and tenants were gone into at length.
Justice O'Gorman, in the Tenth Municipal Court, last
February held that the landlord was justified in protesting
against the disfigurement of his building. This did not
deter Mr. Klaber, and again his painters were at work.
But again the benzine brush was plied, and at last Rose &
Co. secured a summons from Magistrate Brann, in the
West Side Police Court, to restrain Mr. Klaber.
Magistrate Brann listened to the case on the 25th ult.
Elaborate maps of the premises were spread before him,
with each brick and post tinted in appropriate colors.
" I am willing to end all this litigation," Mr. Klaber
said, "by painting the store front as the landlord desires;
but as to the sign, I stand on my rights as a tenant. I
have a five years' lease of the premises, and they have
been trying to turn me out ever since I came in there.
They serve me with a dispossess notice promptly on the
second of the month, the day after I receive my rent bill,
and I shall refuse to recognize it until this question is set-
tled. I'll paint my sign any color I please. I'll paint it
blue or red, or even put it into Scotch plaids," he contin-
ued, defiantly.
Magistrate Brann reserved decision until June 8.
F. L. Hardcastle, with W. & J. Sloane, has opened
temporary headquarters in the Silversmith Building on
Wabash avenue. Mr. Eberbach is now on the
' road, and Mr. Hardcastle and Mr. Taylor will
^"y ^^- follow him.
E. H. Churchill, who travels West for the Read Carpet
Company, has been in the city. Mr. Churchill was for-
merly employed by the Chicago Carpet Company as a
salesman.
Mandel Brothers' new store it is expected will be ready
for occupancy next week. The firm will have one of the
most attractive store fronts in State street, and Manager
Weber, of the carpet department will do his share toward
its attractiveness by filling up one of the windows in the
new part with an artistic show of carpets and Oriental
Rugs.
The travelers are slipping out one by one, and next
week will see the town deserted by them. Some of them
have made short trips to nearby points, and the report is
that buyers are somewhat indifferent to anything but war
news.
Within a year Schlesinger & Mayer will occupy the half
block bounded by Madison street, Wabash avenue and
State street. They have just taken the leases of four
stores in Madison street, east of their present frontage.
They will occupy these as soon as the present tenants
move out. The Madison street front of their present
building will be altered and extended to include the new
stores, and it is said that the main entrance will be placed
in Madison street. The buildings leased are No. 50,
occupied by A. H. Abbott & Co. ; No. 52, Haskell
Brothers; Nos. 54 and 56, owned by L. Z. Leiter, and
occupied by Stanton & Co. It is said that Haskell Brothers
received a bonus of $100,000 for their holdings.

CHANGE IN THE I., D. & M. CO.'S
NEW ENGLAND AGENCY.
As George P. Staples has resigned the agency for the
Ivins, Dietz & Metzger Company for New England,
that company will hereafter have no Boston office, but the
New England territory will be covered from their New
York office by P. J. Donovan. Mr. Staples found that the
requirements of his large retail carpet and furniture busi-
ness in Boston called for his entire attention, hence his
resignation of this agency. Mr. Donovan who has held
the New York agency for the Ivins, Dietz & Metzger
Company for several years past, is well and favorable
known in New England, formerly having been for many
years with the house of John H. Pray, Sons & Co. He
and his son, Joseph P. Donovan, will make frequent calls
upon the Boston and New England trade, and will furnish
every opportunity for viewing the lines of the Ivins

THOS. BOGGS & SONS' NEW MILL.
WE are pleased to present an illustration of the new mill
of Thos. Boggs & Sons, which has been in course
of erection for several months past, and to which the firm
will remove this month. No Ingrain mill in Philadelphia
has been operated more steadily during the past ten years
than that of this hrm, who have obtained a national repu-
tation as manufacturers of Union and Cotton Ingrains.
The Model Mills goods are distributed by leading jobbers
throughout the country, and during even the dullest times
the full complement of looms has been kept occupied on
orders. This great demand has arisen from the superior
. qualities turned out, coupled with always attractive and
original styles and colorings. In their new mill Thos.
Boggs & Sons will obtain an increased prominence in the
trade, as they have opportunity for expansion and will be
able to provide for greater product as the trade requires.
With the occupation of their new mill also comes an
addition to the firm in the person of George Boggs, the
younger son of Thos. Boggs, so that the firm name is
now Thos. Boggs & Sons, and consists of Thos. Boggs,
Samuel R. Boggs, who was
admitted a few years ago,
and George W. Boggs. The
sons, as well as the father,
have received a thorough
practical education in In-
grain manufacture, and de-
vote their whole attention
to the mills. The new
mill is situated at Second
street and Alleghenj^
avenue, and in its construc-
tion the firm -have had
the advantage of every
known improvement in
modem building adapted
to carpet manufacture.
It can be reached from
Lehigh avenue and Second
street in a few minutes'
walk, or the cars marked
"Front and Tioga Streets," which go up Third street
from Chestnut and Market streets, pass by the door.
The fall lines of Model Mills goods have already been
freely ordered by the jobbing buyers, and all others who
visit the city should not fail to inspect them.

SPECIALTIES IN CARPET RUGS.
THE large variety of carpet rugs made by James &
Geo. D. Bromley, Philadelphia, should command
the attention of every rug buyer in the country. They
show fabrics not produced by any other maker and which
are sure sellers. They produce in 3 yard widths and
any length the following different grades and makes
of rugs: Istakhr, Kashgar, Ayranian, Aral, Agra, Alta,
Extra Super, Dekhan and Aleppo. Of the above three
are entirely new for the fall season The Istakhr is a heavy
reversible fabric, in weave and appearance resembling an
Indian carpet. The Kashgar is another reproduction of
Eastern carpets, and is also extra heavy weight and pro-
duced in Oriental effects The Dekhan is the fabric
known as Pro-Brussels, made into an Art Square in the
rich designs for which this firm are noted. It furnishes a
substantial, heavy weight rug at a very moderate price.
The Aral rug is one of the most handsomely colored rugs
in the market, showing all the richness and depth of color-
ing obtainable in the highest cost pile goods. It will be a
good seller and should not be passed by anyone. The
Agra rug is in the well-
known and favorite Agra
weave, and is produced in a
number of new patterns
for the fall. The Alta,
Extra Super and Aleppo
rugs provide large one-
piece rugs at prices to suit
the popular wants. This
exceptionally strong as-
sortment of carpet rugs,
which just now are in great
demand, is shown by the
selling agents, T. J. Kev-
eney & Co., at their New
York, Chicago and Phila-
delphia offices, and may
also be seen at the mill
salesroom, Adams and
— ^"--^-^^^^ — — ^ .T"*":^ :- Jasper streets, Philadel-
phia, where quarters have
recently been fitted up to receive buyers. Visitors to
Philadelphia should not miss calling at the mill of Jas. &
Geo. D. Bromley.
GusTAVE M. Fauser, designer, devotes his attention to
original effects and novelties for Wiltons, Brussels. Ax-
minsters, Velvets, Tapestries, rugs, curtains, upholstery
goods and wall papers. His studio is at 103 East Eleventh
street. New York.
The spring outing of the Baltimore Carpet Salesmen's
Association took place on the 2oth ult. at Lowery's Pros-
pect Park House on the shell road. The affair was a great
success, special credit for which is due to Geo. Peters, of
McDowell & Co., who had charge of the arrangements.
Samuel Schillinger, of G. S. Griffith & Co., is president
of the association.
The fall price list of McCallum & McCallum is published
on another page. There is no change in the prices of
Wiltons and Brussels from the spring season, but there is
a reduction of 2)4 cents per yard on the prices of Arras
Tapestries and Extra Supers.
On page 100 of this issue the Butcher Polish Company,
356 Atlantic avenue, Boston, calls attention to its cele-
brated polish for floors, linoleums, interior woodwork and
furniture. It is regarded as the best floor finish made and
has not a single objectionable feature. It is not brittle,
will neither scratch nor deface like shellac or varnish, and
is not soft and sticky like beeswax. It is perfectly trans-
parent, preserving the natural color and beauty of the
wood for years. Write for circulars, &c.

CUT WILTONS FROM WORCESTER.
WM. Jas. Hogg & Son, proprietors of the Worcester
Carpet Company, announce that, beginning with
this season, they will carry in stock a large variety of pat-
terns in the first and second grades of Wilton carpets, and
will supply the trade with any cut quantity desired. Deal-
ers may purchase samples of these goods and order as per
their requirements. The line of samples may be ordered
either through their selling agents, T. J. Keveney & Co.,
898 Broadway, New York, or from the mill in Worcester,
Mass.
LOWELL BAGDAD RUGS.
ANEW feature in the Lowell Company's fall line is their
Lowell Bagdad rugs, made in 9x12 feet. They are
shown in a good variety of original patterns and beautiful
colorings, and are bound to become favorite sellers. The
trade should take particular pains to view these new Bag-
dads before deciding on their fall rug stock. The Lowell
Company are also offering to the trade their Daghestan
Wilton rugs in 36x63 and 36x72 inch sizes in an ample
variety of patterns.
ORIENTAL RUGS FOR AMERICAN REQUIREMENTS.
THE great success of Fritz & La Rue, of Philadelphia, as
importers of choice Oriental rugs and carpets will be
largely enhanced through their offerings for the fall of
1898. The stock selected by Mr. Fritz on his visit to the
Orient this spring is now in and is by far the best assort-
ment ever collected by the firm as regards patterns and
colorings and qualities of fabric, together with rareness in
antique pieces. The feature of this firm's Oriental offer-
ings is that they are thoroughly in touch with the wants
and ideas of American people and carry out such ideas in
selecting their goods. It is no wonder, therefore, that
Fritz & La Rue command the attention and business of
the best buyers throughout the country.
It is rumored that a new carpet commission firm will be
shortly started in New York, composed of well-known

BRINGING BUYERS TO NEW YORK.
Merchants' Association of New
York has made arrange-
ments with the railway
lines extending from this
city as far west as Chicago
and St. Louis, as far south
as the Ohio River and Bal-
timore and Washington, as
far east as the border line
of the New England States,
and north into Canada, for reduced rates for merchants
who are members of the Merchants' Association residing
at points outside of New York city and the members of
their immediate families.
This territory is subdivided into two separate territories,
each under the jurisdiction of a separate railway associa-
tion. The reduced rates have been granted on the appli-
cation of the Merchants' Association for a separate series
of dates in those separate territories. The earlier set of
dates are for the more distant territory. This is bounded
on the west by Chicago and St. Louis; on the south by
the Ohio River, but taking in that portion of northern
Kentucky which is traversed by the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway; on the east, but not including Suspension
Bridge, Niagara Falls, Tonawanda, Black Rock, Buffalo,
East Buffalo, Buft'alo Junction, Dunkirk and Salamanca,
N. Y. ; Erie, Pittsburg and Allegheny, Pa; Bellaire,
Ohio; Wheeling, Parkersburg, Huntington and Gauley
Bridge, W. Va.
The dates upon which the reduced rates will be in effect
in that territory are from August 7 to 10, inclusive, and
from August 27, to 31 inclusive. The tickets to be sold
between those dates will be good to return for thirty days
from the date of sale. The price of each ticket will be at
the rate of one fare and one-third for the round trip from
the point of departure.
The second territory is east of and including the cities
named above, running south to Baltimore and Washing-
ton and east to the New England States. The dates upon
which the reduced fare will be in effect in this second
territory are September 1 to 4, inclusive, and September 10
to 14, inclusive. The rate of fare in this second territory
will be the same as for the first named territory, but the
period of time within which the tickets will be good to
return home will be fifteen days from the date of sale, in-
stead of thirty days, as in the first named territory.
At an extraordinary general meeting of Messrs. John
Crossley & Sons, carpet manufacturers, Halifax, on the
13th ult. , a resolution was passed confirming the resolution
passed at a recent special meeting that there be returned
to the holders of the 118,797 ordinary shares of the com-
pany of ^5 fully paid up j£l per share, and that each
share be deemed to be paid up to the extent of jQi only,
and liable to a call of £1. The chairman (Mr. E. Cross-
ley) said that the directors were gratified to find that their
recommendation had met with the approval of the share-
holders. He believed the proceeding would conduce to
the consolidation and strength of the company.
HUNTER & WHITCOMB'S NEW RUGS.
THE new rugs shown by Hunter & Whitcomb indicate
that they will strongly hold their leading place in the
wholesale rug trade for the fall season.
They show high pile mohair rugs in solid colors and two-
toned effects in any size up to 9x12 feet and in plain or
crinkled pile. These are exceedingly rich and choice
goods, and as their production is in the hands of few
people it will pay to view this firm's line.
A fine line of baby carriage mohair robes and rugs is
also displayed.
A new thing which will surely attract the higher class
trade is a French made rug in an extra high and fine
worsted pile. It is made in any size up to 14.9 wide, and
in any length ; also in hall runners and yard goods.
There are 75 to 100 different patterns in choicest
designs and colorings, and the rug is sold 25 to 35 per
cent, cheaper than India rugs. Hunter & Whitcomb
are the sole agents for the rug in this country.
Another novelty is a new seamed rug, made of fine
worsted in a high pile, in which all the coloring eff'ects of
the best imported Axminster may be obtained. This is a
new patented weave, and is a higher class than any seamed
rug heretofore offered by Hunter & Whitcomb.
For carpet size rugs or smaller sizes in fine qualities and
rare effects, consult Hunter & Whitcomb, 874 Broadway,
New York.
THE JUDGE COMPANY'S PRODUCTIONS.
THE productions of the Judge Brothers Carpet Company
comprise Mortlake Tapestries, the newest and hand-
somest weave in 4-4 carpets; Three Plys in all wool and
C. C. ; Standard Harrison Mills all wool Extra Supers and
C. C.'s; Medium Supers; half and quarter wool Unions,
8, 9 and 10 pair Ingrains, granite Ingrains; 3-4 and 5-8
stairs in all grades. Completed fall lines, making an ex-
ceptionally large assortment of all grades of Ingrain car-
pets, may be seen at the mill, Columbia avenue and Blair
street, Philadelphia; at 41 Union square. New York; 564
Washington street, Boston, and 254 Monroe- street,
Chicago.
KENNARD'S STOCK SHEET.
IN this issue will be found the revised stock sheet of J.
Kennard & Sons Carpet Company, which shows the
numbers of the patterns in Tapestries, Velvets, Moquettes
and Axminsters which are now in their stock and which
they can deliver immediately. They are prepared to
make attractive prices on the goods and will send quota-
tions on application.
CHIPMAN'S NEW MOVE.
WH. Chip.man & Co., the Boston carpet wholesalers,
• are hereafter to make a specialty of handling job
or irregular goods. It is said they will make this the
leading feature of their business, but will retain a few of
the regular lines which they have handled for many years
past.
Cbe fortnu3bt.
PHOLSTERY goods manufacturers' new
lines for the fall trade are com-
pleted and are now being shown
to the jobbing buyers, who seem
"5js51^ to be placing a fair amount of
^^"^^Z" orders. The lines are more ex-
tensive than ever before, and fur-
nish an excellent illustration of
the steady progress which our domestic manufacturers are
making in their line of trade.
The same remark applies to the lace curtain manufac-
turers, whose travelers have already made their first trips
on the road with their new lines and are now in town
again. Our American buyers of lace curtains have cer-
tainly every reason to be f atisfied with the extent and
character of the offerings for the fall business in domestic
goods.
W/hen the New Tariff Took Effect. — In the case of the
United States against Stoddard, Haserick & Co.,
heard by Judge Colt in the United States Circuit Court at
Boston on the 26th ult., the question involved is: When
did the Dingley tariff bill become law ?
The plaintiff asks for a review of the findings of the
Board of General Appraisers of New York, which held
that the act did not become operative as law until the
moment of 4:06 p. m. on July 24, 1897, when the President
affixed his signature to it. This was a reversal of the de-
cision of Collector Warren, of Boston, who ruled that by
relation the act became operative as law from the first
moment of July 24.
Under the finding of the board the importation of 305
bales of wool, in this case, which arrived on the Sylvania
at this port from Liverpool on the morning of that day,
and received permits of delivery before noon, was entitled
to entry duty free under the old tariff act of 1894, para-
graph 685. But as the collector had before ruled, the im-
portation was subject to a duty of 11 cents per pound
under paragraph 357, schedule K, of the Dingley act, the
whole duty amounting to $30,465.
The contention of the Government is that by relation —
the Government recognizing no fractions of a day — the act
became operative as law from the first moment of the 24th
of July — the afternoon of which day the President signed
it. But the importers contend that the ruling of the
board that the law did not become operative until the
President approved it by affixing his signature is right.
The court reserved its decision.
Japanese Silk Bounty Law Repealed. — The Consul of
Japan, S. Uchida, has sent the following letter to Al-
bert Tilt, president of the Silk Association of America:
"Dear Sir — Referring to my last letter, dated the 13th
inst., I have the pleasure of informing you that the bill
repealing the silk bounty law has passed both houses of
our Diet yesterday, and it will undoubtedly take eff'ect as
a law very soon."
This letter is dated May 24, 1898.
The Secretary of the Treasury, upon investigation,
found that the Government of Japan paid an export
bounty on raw silk exported from that country, and there-
fore he instructed officers of the customs to collect coun-
tervailing duties on such importations equal to the export
duties paid. Three grades of raw silk were specified,
upon which the export bounty paid was 50, 30 and 20 yen
per 100 catties respectively. The countervailing duty was
the same as the bounty. The present value of a Japanese
yen is 49 8-10 cents, and a cattie is equal to 1^ pounds.
THE TWIN LINES OF TRADE.
A few years ago we made some comments on the grow-
ing tendency of the upholstery and carpet trades
toward each other, and since then the relations be-
tween these trades have grown even closer. There are
now but few carpet stores in which upholstery goods are
not also handled, and the retail establishments in which
only upholstery goods were kept have almost entirely dis-
appeared.
In the great department stores the upholstery depart-
ment is usually situated next to the carpet stock, this
arrangement being found most convenient for the custom-
ers, because the choice of curtains, draperies, &c., often
The Upholstery Trade Review.
depends so much upon the pattern and colors of the carpet.
Indeed all the reasons which have induced many'^furniture
dealers to add carpets to their stocks apply with much
stronger force to the union of upholstery goods and car-
pets, and the appreciation of this fact is evidently general
in the trade.
It follows, of course, that no trade paper can now be
justified in posing as an organ of the upholstery goods
business exclusively or as a carpet paper only. The inter-
dependence of the two trades has become so marked that
to do justice to one the other must be kept just as clearly
in view. As the dealer in carpets is also a handler of up-
holstery goods he desires to see the advertisements of both
of these trades, and the reading matter of the upholsteiy
department of The P.p.view shares his attention with that
of the carpet department. He is interested in both, and
can afford to neglect neither.
For several years past The Review has kept these facts
well in mind, and has acted accordingly, giving careful
and equal attention to these two kindred lines of goods,
and the wisdom of this policy seems to be amply proved
by the large and constant growth of its advertising busi-
ness in both the carpet and the upholstery goods trades,
and especially in the latter.
INFRINGEMENT OF KING'S HOLLAND TICKETS.
WE are requested to state that John King & Son's label
tickets have been used on another make of hollands,
and that the party guilty of this deception is known.
John King & Son take this means of notifying whom it
may concern that upon a recurrence of this misuse they
will prosecute the offender with the utmost rigor of the
law, which will bring upon him an unenviable notoriety,
as well as legal punishinent.
THE PHILADELPHIA TAPESTRY MILLS.
THE manufacture of finer grades of upholstery piece
goods has of late taken an upward tendency in this
country, and among the firms who are showing some of
the finer qualities is that of the Philadelphia Tapestry
Mills. This concern presents to the trade a line of goods
which is unsurpassed for excellence of manufacture,
beauty of design and artistic ideas.
It has produced for the coming season many novel
effects in Oriental couch covers, curtains, table covers and
piece goods. The standard of this enterprising concern
has always been set very high, and its line, now showing,
quite excels any previous efforts made by it. It may be
seen at the mills, Cambria and Ormes streets, Phila-
delphia.
The Rome Universal curtain pole is rapidly coming into
great demand in the trade. No traverse rings are re-
quired for it, only the ordinary rings being needed. It is
an excellent window pole for stationary drapery.
Portiferes can be traversed without cords if this pole is
used, or if it is desired the cords can be used, but con-
cealed. The Rome Universal pole costs no more than the
ordinary brass poles of the same quality. Write to the

STRAW MATTING AS A WALL COVERING.
HEN Straw matting is made a substitute
for wall paper it is customary to use
a special grade, and special designs of
mattings are, of course, used, as the
ordinary variety would present no
, attractiveness on a wall. In
every case patterns that show
extremely large figures are the
thing. Diamonds and stars
are high in favor, and squares
and blocks made to imitate
carpet designs have hardly less
popularity.
In all there are a dozen or
more new and fresh patterns peculiarly adapted to nailing
up on walls. Red and white and green and white are the
colors that are used. The blue and white matting has not
come into vogue yet for wall decoration, though it may
appear at any time.
These mattings are laid on in strips across the walls, not
up and down. It should be remembered that the ordinary
floor mattings would not be at all the thing on walls, and
that only the special varieties mentioned above should
ever be used. With the proper matting laid on skillfully
there is an admirable background for any sort of pictures,
and a room is made that will seem delightfully cool in the
hottest sort of weather.
For a matting walled room window shades of matting
of the same kind, or at least of a harmonious pattern,
should be used.
LEADERS IN SHADE ROLLERS.
IN their page advertisement in this issue the Stewart
Hartshorn Company sum up in one sentence the lines
along which they have made a splendid success of their
business during the past years. They turn out "every-
thing that helpeth or maketh a shade roller," and they
might have added, a perfect shade roller.
It will be observed that their product is confined strictly
to the manufacture of shade rollers both of wood and tin
and the many novel and valuable accessories which can be
utilized in connection with these goods.
This firm are liberal advertisers, because they make a
roller which will bear the closest scrutiny of the public,
and in addition to their general advertising they publish
each month a little paper entitled "The Hartshorn
Roller," which serves up in a clever and fascinating-
manner a good salad consisting of valuable pointers about
window shades and shade rollers, garnished with humorous
sketches and illustrations.

First Position. Second Position. Fig:. 3.— Sectional Drawing.
FIG. 2.— A COMBINATION SCREEN, CORNER SEAT AND SETTEE WITH WORK-WELL.
CONVERTIBLE FURNITURE FOR DRAWING ROOMS.
THE house furnisher nowadays finds it most difficult to
keep pace with the incessant demand for novelty,
and very often does not know where to turn for fresh ideas
with which to satisfy the exacting conditions imposed upon
him by continual changes of fashion. On this subject R.
D. Benn, in the London Cabinet Maker, says: " It is not
my intention at the present time to discuss the question
whether the ever-existing necessity for producing 'some-
thing fresh ' is favorable to the best interests of our craft.
I am decidedly of the opinion that it is quite the reverse,
but that is not the point at issue. The public insists upon
novelty; the retail furnisher considers it to be his first
duty to satisfy the public, and the manufacturer has to
satisfy the retail furnisher; therefore it is our constant
aim to provide our readers with suggestions which shall
assist them in the origination of new forms, always keeping
in view those fundamental' principles of construction and
design without which no satisfactory result can possibly be
attained.
"To the majority of people there is an irresistible
charm about combination and convertible articles — things
which ' are not always what they seem '—rand it is rather
surprising that greater advantage is not taken of that
foible. At the end of the last century Sheraton recognized
the fact that the letting down of one part, the turning over
of another and the shooting up of a third in a number of
his productions gave unlimited satisfaction to a large
proportion of purchasers, and — wise in his day and genera-
tion— he cultivated the mechaniceal side of his genius
assiduouJfty; with what results we know. Neither has this
phase of the cabinet maker's art been neglected in the
pages of this journal. For years past inventive furniture
has received its full share of attention, and it is gratifying
to know that many of the ideas given have been carried
out with more than a little profit to those in whose show-
rooms they have found a place. I shall not, therefore,
offer any excuse for devoting this article to a further series
of studies belonging to what may be termed the convertible
school, from the pencil of Mr. Henry Pringuer, for I feel
sure that they will appeal more than favorably to a large
proportion of those to whom freshness of thought is a
strong recommendation, in whatsoever form it may be
revealed.
"A simple little combination writing and work table is
shown in Fig. 1, on the second page following this,
the construction of which needs but little explanation. It
will be seen that the top consists of a couple of shallow
stationery cabinets, fitted to contain note paper, envelopes,
pens and other accessories, and hinged respectively to the
sides of the centre part. When closed the underneath
surfaces of these are uppermost, but when opened out
their position is reversed, and ample space on which to
write is secured. It is obvious that the ink could not be
placed in these side pieces; it might, however, have a
small corner of its own in the sliding work-well, the sides
of which latter are lined with silk or some other decorative
fabric, and the interior provided with handy nooks for
the bestowal of the hundred and one odds and ends which
needlewomen have so remarkable a faculty for collecting.
" Fig. 2, in its first position, is just a dainty corner seat,
with legs continued upward to support a graceful drapery,
which, if carefully selected, might form a delightfully
effective background to the head of the occupant. But
this is not all. The main structure is hinged in the centre
and opens out in the manner indicated by the second posi-
tion, one half carrying with it the seat — or rather two
seats, as will be explained later — and the other retaining
the work-well which is fixed thereto. This renders the
latter available for use, immediately to hand at the side of
the seat, but it may not always be required by the seam-
stress, so yet another conversion is made possible. As
already hinted, what in the first instance appeared to be
only one seat is really two, hinged to and closed upon each
other, and stuffed upon the inner sides as well as upon the
The Upholstery Trade Review.
top. The upper one can be turned over till it rests
securely upon the well, and the result is a- novel screen
settee, capable of accommodating at least a couple of
people, and not by any means devoid of decorative qual-
ities. The upholstering of the inner sides of the two seats
is sunk — the edge of the surrounding woodwork being
beveled down to it' — and kept low to permit of their closing
perfectly. The complete working of this is made perfectly
clear by the sectional drawing. Fig. 3.
"Perhaps the most ingenious of these suggestions is
that presented in Fig. 4. In the first place, this is a quaint
table, whose top is curiously framed in by side pieces ter-
minating at each end with and connected by a turned bar,
by which, if desirable, the table could be held when being
carried from room to room. So far so good, but the article
is capable of assuming the form illustrated by the second
position of Fig 4 — truly a remarkable transformation.
The straight side pieces of the top, with their turning and
cut through brackets, are actually four legs attached to
upholstered seats, which seats are hinged to the central
supports and kept flat against them by means of the brass
catches indicated. These catches released, the seats fall
on each side, describing a quarter of a circle, until the
legs rest upon the ground, as shown in position two. Fig. 4.
The table top, swinging between the central uprights, to
which it is pivoted, can without trouble be adjusted to
form a solid back to the two seats, additional comfort
being insured by the addition of loose cushions hung from
the shaped corners, which are pierced to permit of a
strong cord being passed thi^ough. The greatest care has
been taken in the planning of this contrivance to render
both the table and the seats, in their different capacities,
as stable as possible, and that aim has been perfectly
accomplished. The foregoing description, taken together
with the two sketches in Fig. 4 and the sectional drawing
in Fig. 5, should make the carrying out of this idea an
extremely simple matter to any skilled craftsman.
"After the foregoing problem something more simple
will come as a relief, and there is in the combination writing
table, work table and seat. Fig. 6, nothing to puzzle even
the simplest mind. The top of this is in two pieces, lined
on the one side, to fulfill the requirements associated with
a writing table, and one of them upholstered on the other.
When required for use as a work table and seat, both
halves of the top — hinged as shown — are raised, that which
is upholstered acting as a back and its companion — padded
and arranged for the reception of needles, pins, scissors
and the like — giving access to the work-well. When
closed the seat may be requisitioned for the storage of
magazines and papers, though anything placed thereon
would naturally have to be moved in the event of its being
converted to serve its alternative purpose.
" Fig. 7, again, is simple, but is none the less worthy of
attention on that account. The back is made in three
parts, the two side ones being hinged to the centre. To
each end of the seat is hinged a continuation, upholstered
in exactly the same manner, from the back edge of which
on the under side project a couple of dowels. These two
continuations, or supplementary seats, when raised are
latched to the end posts of the central section of the back ;
the sides, with their leaded glass panels and dainty cur-
tains, close in upon them, and a comfortable settee, thor-
oughly protected from unwelcome drafts, is formed. By
turning back the side wings and lowering the seats till the
dowels fall into the holes in the shelf brackets made for
their reception additional accommodation for two sitters is
provided. It will be seen that these two shelf brackets,
when the wings are brought forward, plide in between the
seat and the under framing of the centre part, where they
are well out of the way. If desired, only one side may be
closed.
"As regards the choice of woods and fabrics for the
carrying out of the other pieces, the maker should be the
best person to judge the requirements of his customers,
but one or two hints may be acceptable to guide his selec-
tion. For the work and writing table. Fig. 1, mahogany,
with satinwood banding, and old gold or terra-cotta silk
for the lining of the work-well, would be the best, but

Ijlain walnut might be employed if cost had to be consid-
ered. Either stained wood, oak, walnut or mahogany
would do for the combination table and settee. Fig. -1,
while as to the covering I can suggest nothing better than
silk or printed velveteen. Mahogany,
again, would lend itself best to the pro-
duction of the combination screen, corner

backs of which Genoa velvet, silk tapestry

but the curtains should certainly be
of silk if possible. Practically the same
treatment is to be recommended for Figs.

should not be figured at all, as, if they
were, both articles might err in the direc-

RATTAN FURNITURE.
THE United States leads the world
in the manufacture of rattan
furniture. No other nation approaches
the perfection to which our manu-
facturers have attained. Our prod-
uct in this line, besides being con-
sumed in immense quantities at
home, is exported to England, Ger-
many, France, Australia, South
Africa and South American countries.
American manufacturers are con-
templating with interest the settle-
ment of our Spanish difficulties, and
they anticipate the greatest trade in
future years in the West India Islands,
particularly Cuba.
Rattan furniture is greatly pre-
ferred to all others in warm
countries, principally because it is
much cooler than other kinds.
However, it would be hard to
find an American home to-day
which does not boast of one or
more rattan chairs. Some idea of
the extent to which this busi-
ness is carried on in the United
States may be formed
when it is stated that
no less than $100,000
worth of the raw nia-
terial is constantly
in transit from India.
Singapore is the prin-
cipal point of shipment.
AVe began export-
ing this sort of furniture
fifteen years ago,
and the beginning of the
great growth in the industry dates from the
time when American ingenuity devised means
for shipping the furniture in pieces, thus
allowing it to be put up in compact shape and easily
handled. Formerly furniture of this class was put together
before shipment, and this took up considerable space.
Germany and France are our principal competitors in
the manufacture of rattan furniture, but
how vastly inferior is their product may
be judged from the fact that we sell
our product largely in those countries.
Some rattan furniture is made in Li-
beria and Australia, but this is the
coarser article. A very poor article, in
fact, the poorest made, is turned out in
China, Our goods are infinitely superior
in design and workmanship to all
others.
In the early part of the career of
the enterprise the manufactured prod-
uct was the common wooden seat chair.
At a later date the flag seat came into
use, which at a still later period was
superseded by the cane or rattan
seat.
The history of the introduction of
rattan into the manufacture of chairs
is an interesting one. It came
into use about the year 1833, and
from that date until 1876 the chairs
made by the American manufacturers
were those having seats and backs
made of rattan. Since that date
the business of making rattan chairs
and furniture and children's car-
riages has grown steadily. One
American firm is at present filling an
order for 3,200 dozen chairs for an
Australian house.

DECORATIVE GOSSIP.
IDEAS of Japanese decora-
tion have been much
enlarged since the
products of this ar-
tistic race began
first to be common
among us. To the
grotesque red and
gold spatter work,
which was our first association with the art of the island
empire, has followed a much wider knowledge. We find
that banner screens, as well as the familiar fans and
unbrellas, are to be found in soft tones of gray, brown
and rose, often perfectly plain, or with some slightly
sketchy design that enhances the beauty of the back-
ground. These are most useful in furnishing summer
homes and apartments, as they lend themselves admirably
to cool looking effects. With them are most suitably used
the fish net draperies, and now that they are shown in a
wide range of colorings it is possible to carry out any dec-
orative design.
"The "cozy coi'ner decorator" is a factor by which
domestic comfort and beauty are supposed to be en-
sured nowadays. As her title employs, she is an individual
whose profession consists in the cozifying of corners — a
laudable object, and in these times quite warrantable,
when so much is done to order. Whole houses are deco-
rated and entire rooms furnished on the plan — when the
purse is long enough and the personal taste not to be re-
lied upon, why not parts of rooms, namely, corners ? The
only trouble that suggests itself is that aesthetics at large
might suffer by the process; that the contrast between
the part so decorated and the division not decorated at all
(in the "to-order " sense) might be too obvious. There is
also the suspicion that anything like coziness is hardly
capable of following in the footsteps of the " to-order "
method. Still, this might be hypercritical. The more
natural emotions aroused by this latest development of
the decorative instinct are admiration and wonder. This
is the age of specialties, and it is said that those women
who so specialize their decorative talents are realizing very
practical results. — Harper's Bazar.
In an article on the decoration of piano backs an English
writer suggests that a very simple yet pleasing idea is
to arrange a screen straight across the back of the piano
with one fold coming round the side which stands out into
the room. The screen should be chosen an inch or two
higher than the piano, and, if possible, with a curved or
ornamental top, as this gives a much lighter effect. A
plant or palm standing on the piano gives a finished ap-
pearance
jlAirMOCKS are likely to play a more prominent part than
ever in summer housefurnishing this season. Be-
sides their positive use as a veranda adjunct, and their
potential benefit when the house party happens to out
number the beds (a practice first instituted in New York
city studios of bachelor women), it now appears as a par-
lor embellishment, according to an authority on decora-
tive matters. Hung across a corner or before an alcove,
it has a way of breaking up the lines and angles of an
apartment most successfully. The favorite hammock for
this purpose is of a good gray color and of plainest fish
net weave. Gay cushions of tartan, bandanna, or "Old
Glory " give it color as well as comfort. The highly col-
ored hammocks of fancy weave and fringed and self-
upholstered were never in good taste, and this year they
have not even the zest of novelty. For indoor service,
especially, the plainest hammocks are to be preferred.

THE BOUDOIR AND THE "DEN."
HESE are not the days when a
man mvist go to his inn or to
his club in order to take his
ease. As for woman, she has
always had some place suit-
able for that purpose. The
bower of mediaeval days pre-
ceded the boudoir; and if
we accept Milton's authority,
it was a recognized institution
in Eden. In ancient Gaul
(and all Western Europe) the
bower, or "solar," was an
apartment, more or less open
to the sunshine, built over
the great hall of the chief's
dwelling, where the ladies
could enjoy each other's society, rest, or pass the time in
embroidering, or music, or games, or story telling, free
from all interference of rude men. In our time the
amusements that woman can enjoy without man's aid are
more numerous, and modern womankind has become far
more luxurious than the ladies of romance. Of late years,
however, a reaction has set in, and simplicity and comfort
are now considered to be the desiderata to be provided in
the boudoir. That which we illustrate on the opposite
page has its piano, its canopied lounge, its easy chair and
rocker and screen covered with sketches and photographs.
The color scheme should be light and cheerful, some dull,
pale rose or maize tint predominating. As the boudoir is
never large, a paper with a small pattern or absolutely
plain is to be preferred. The curtains may be of any
cheap, translucent stuff. East Indian mixtures of silk
and cotton answer admirably. The floor should be
polished.
In the man's "den," which is illustrated on the
third page following, provision must be made for an even
greater range of tastes and fancies; for he may be at one
and the same time student and sportsman, musician and
artist, traveler and collector of bric-a-brac. Our illustra-
tion shows how all these avocations may be accommodated
in a small attic room. On one side we have a piano; on
the other well filled book shelves, a cabinet filled with
odds and ends of pottery, water colors, a mandolin, a
trophy of weapons and fishing rods and the model of a full
rigged ship. The window seat and the lounge near it,
covered with Persian prayer rugs and saddle bags — the
latter often very charming in color — may serve at the
same time as coffers in which to keep engravings or other
things not often in actual use; while the antique chest of
drawers at the nearer end will accommodate whatever of
the sort is more frequently needed, and the flat top may
serve as a writing table. A rather dull general tone is recom-
mended— say drab if the light be from the north, or gray
if from the south. Plenty of positive color is sure to be
introduced in the accumulation of odds and ends that a
man gradually gathers about him.
HEALY & CO.'S TROUBLES
JHe.m.y & Co., manufacturers of bedding, couches and
. artistic furniture, at Nos. 147 to 153 West Seven-
teenth street. New York, have become financially em-
barrassed, and have given chattel mortgages aggregating
$16,863 to three creditors — the New York County National
Bank, $-i,500; Columbia Bank, $3,500, and Blanche T.
Prince, $10,862. Their trouble is attributed to the war,
which caused some of their largest customers to counter-
mand orders and crippled their trade. A few months ago,
it is said, they received a large order from the West, and
to fill it, as well as in anticipation of duplicate orders, they
bought heavily, but when the war broke out the order was
countermanded, and this, with the general falling off in
business, placed them in such a position that they were
unable to meet obligations. The liabilities are reported
to be about $40,000. The value of the assets is not
definitely known. Their inventory of January 1 last
showed assets, $58,316; liabilities, $28,495.
The partners are John Healy, Joel L. Isaacs and Aaron
Prince. The business was started on January 1, 1889, on
a small capital, and they built up a large trade, both in
this city and throughout the United States.
The sheriff received an attachment against the firm on
the 19th ult. from Ab ram Kling for $1,968 in favor of
Salo J. Stroheim for balance due for upholstery goods
sold, it is claimed, on the strength of the firm's represen-
tation that they were worth $35,000. The attachment was
obtained on the allegation that they had disposed of their
property, that they had given chattel mortgages, trans-
ferred all their accounts and had removed a portion of their
stock. It was also asserted that Mr Healy declared that
the firm could pay 30 cents on the dollar. The sheriff put
a keeper in the firm's place of business, at No. 147 West
Seventeenth street, and found the marshal in possession,
under the chattel mortgages.
On the 20th ult. the sheriff received two more attach-
ments against J. Healy & Co. from Abram Kling in favor
of Wm, Wilkens & Co. for $2,063, and in favor of Ta3dor
& Ellis for $8,901.

Clerk — I have been in your employ now going on five
years, and I am getting the same salary I started with.
Proprietor — I know it; but every time that I've made
up my mind to cut you down or discharge you, something
has reminded me of your wife and little ones at home, and
so I just couldn't do it. There, my man, you see I have a
heart as well as a head. — Ex.

CHARGE OF THE BARGAIN BRIGADE.
(With proper apologies.)
ii C^..\KG.MN sale! Bargain sale! "
L/ Newspapers thundered.
Up to the palace of trade
Strode the Six Hundred.
' ' Forward ! Our fortune's made !
Charge on the clerks! " they said.
Into the palace of trade
Rushed the Six Hundred.
" Goods sold for half their worth."
Was this a cause for mirth?
Women who saw the sign
Not even wondered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why.
Theirs but to simply buy.
Buy in the palace of trade —
Thought the Six Hundred.
Bargains to right of them.
Bargains to left of them,
Front of them — back of them —
Volleyed and thundered.
What they bought none knew well.
Weak ones grew faint and fell,
Tho' dresses ripped, ker-r-r-rack !
Into the push pell-mell
Dove the Six HLmdred !
Boldly and well they fought;
Then home her spoil brought
Each wife and daughter.
Let this be their defense,
All saved at least ten cents —
Some saved a quarter.

pictures, and have been awarded medals at home and abroad. Mr.
Evans is, perhaps, the best known art patron and connoisseur in the
country. Ten years ago he established, in connectiqn with ex
hibitions of the American Water Color Society, a prize of $300 to
be awarded annually for the most meritorious water color painted
in this country by an American artist. Many of these pictures have
been purchased by Mr. Evans, who has otherwise given attention
to gathering a truly representative collection. The result is that
these pictures are recognized as the finest array of American art
subjects in existence, and have an international reputation.

DECORATIVE SUGGESTIONS FROM WALL PAPERS.
THERE are times when a very strongly colored and over-
elaborated wall paper may be all right, but in the
average room it is too much. Nevertheless, that very
paper is of the utmost value to the decorator, for out of
the ovgr-elaborated pattern, if well done, he can get a
color scheme for the entire furnishings of a room, from
the floor to the ceiling.
The wall paper sample is not to be adopted for the wall.
It is to give merely the harmonizing colorings to be used
on floor, furniture, draperies, walls and ceiling. After
you study it you
will conclude
that some
coloring in the
pattern should
prevail for each
of these pur-
poses. The
London Plumb-
er and Deco-
rator says: To
lay out system-
atically work for
the best results
in color one
might get up a
collection of
wall papers in
yard samples,
for the best re-
sults in colorings
are often ob-
tained in wall
papers. A fabric
is frequently
designed in per-
fect taste, but
rvrt AY be made from
' any soft, light
material either in silk
or cotton fabric and
should be trimmed
with a tassel edging.
If made from double
faced goods no lin-
ing would be re-
quired.
the value of the coloring is emasculated by the weaver or
by the exigencies of the loom work or economy. The
salesman who wishes to sell a fabric for a little less will
suggest the dropping of a pick here or there, and the
manufacturer wishing to reduce expenses does not see
that the pattern is very much spoiled by the change. The
wall paper manufacturer, however, can reproduce with
absolute accuracy anything that the
designer suggests, and so his color-
ings are always shown to their full
force of character.
The decorator who has a well
printed piece of wall paper can get
every idea out of it for the treat-
ment of a room. There is no law
to be followed. Some of the hap-
piest efl:ects have been those which
were apparently accomplished by
the very defiance of all theories
of color harmony.
The man who is not able to take
a pointer, an idea, a suggestion, and
work it out, should get out of the
business. Plain colors have been
exceedingly popular of late years — plain burlaps for the
walls, plain ingrain papers, plain fillings for the floor —
inasmuch as they serve as an excellent background for
the display of rugs, pictures, plaques, or richly uphol-
stered furniture and draperies.
A scrap of wall paper will give a suggestion. For in-
stance, it will give the neutral tint, like a gray, for the
background. It will give the right kind of red to go on
the gray. It will give even the comparative values of
each color. It will give in the shadings of a rose
leaf, for instance, the right tints for the cornice of the
woodwork. Our advice to everybody in the business is to
collect wall pa-
per samples.
You do not need
carefully de-
vised and tech-
nically correct
water color
drawings.
A picture of a
tree will give an
entire color
scheme in it-
self. The earthy
color of the
ground, the
deeper shade
of the trunk,
the various
greens in the
leaves are all
details of a good
color combina-
tion.

that can be
always safely
followed; and when Nature rebels and gives discords, like
the sudden lowering and darkening of a summer sky in a
storm, you have the contrast which is always efl^ective —
the natural flower tints upon a dead background.
Every possible form of coloring has been followed in
wall paper — followed accurately and in good taste. One
has only to study these wall papers, preserving, as we
said before, the proportionate value of each color to get
good results. Do not make the mistake of using too
much red if the wall paper pattern shows but a little.
Follow the comparative values of each color as used in
the wall paper design, and, above all, do not misunder-
stand us and use the wall paper design in toto for the
walls. Take from the pattern the lesser and most unob-
trusive detail for the wall.

HIGH CLASS LACE CURTAIN NOVELTIES.
•PROPOS of the present sentiment in es-
chewing French bonnets on account
of the pro-Spanish feeling in France
the curtain trade are offered an op-
portunity of securing real lace curtains
in styles that even beat the French,
and which are made in Boston. Byers
& Parmelee are showing for the fall
season a remarkably large and hand-
some assortment of Renaissance, Cluny
and other real lace curtains, with
bed sets to match. Their styles are
thorotighly original creations, being
different from anything imported and supplying all the
requirements of good taste and richness. Besides the real
lace goods the firm manufacture a large line of muslin
and net made-up curtains, with bed sets to match any cur-
tain turned out. Their muslin curtains have a finish un-
surpassed by anything else produced, and show a ribbon
effect in the borders, which is produced by them exclu-
sively on a special machine. The finish of all their goods
is a feature which should particularly interest buyers, and
fully proves the facilities of the firm for producing the
highest class work. The "Pennant" pattern in muslin
curtains is a great novelty, and will doubtless be a large
seller, as also the Point d'Esprit effects in nets. Wm. B.
Parmelee, of the firm, has started on his Western trip, and
will show these elegant goods to the trade as far west as
Omaha and south to Louisville. Wm. Byers, of the firm,
was for many years the Boston and New England repre-
sentative of Mills & Gibb, and attends to the Boston sales-
room and nearby trade. The firm's full line will be shown
in New York at the Everett House during July and
August.
A BAROMETER OF PATRIOTISM.
THE spirit of the times is vividly portrayed by the en-
thusiasm with which new and appropriate ideas con-
veying patriotic expressions are adopted. As a barometer
of American patriotism the illuminated window shades,
representing Old Glory, made by the Jay C. Wemple
Company, New York, have already received the stamp of
popular approval, orders exceeding the company's most
sanguine expectations having already been received. The
timely introduction of this novelty is but an evidence of
the readiness with which the Wemple Company adapt
themselves and their product to the demands of the day.
These flag shades, being translucent, provide a very
handsome effect, and when at night the room is brightly
lighted their attractiveness is highly augmented Buyers
can see a practical demonstration of this effect by visiting
the salerooms of the Wemple Company, 537 Broadway,
where the large windows are ornamented with the flag
shades.
In addition to the travelers mentioned elsewhere, Has-
sall Brothers, Boston, will be represented in Chicago
during the fall season by F. F. Fazzie, with headquarters
in the Lees Building, 147 to 153 Fifth avenue.
A NEW COMMISSION FIRM.
SCHAEFFER & WiLLiAMS is the title of a new upholstery
selling agency which has located at 511 Hartford
Building, New York. The firm are agents for the Geo.
S. Stewart Company, of Norwalk, Ohio, manufacturers
of fretwork, grilles, screens, &c. ; the Crawford Mills, of
Philadelphia, manufacturers of upholstery goods and cur-
tains, and Oehrle Brothers & Co. , of Philadelphia, manu-
facturers of upholstery and drapery trimmings.
E. A. Schaeffer was formerly connected with the C. S.
Ransom Company, and S. A. Williams is well and favor-
ably known to upholstery buyers, having been manager of
the Brussels Tapestry account for several years.
PATERSON UPHOLSTERY MILL TO LIQUIDATE.
HARwooD V. Parke, vice-president of the Paterson
National Bank, has been appointed receiver of Geo.
W. Fulton & Co., manufacturers of light silk upholstery
and drapery fabrics, Paterson, N. J. It is said that the
business will be woimd up, as the demand of the trade has
changed from the products made by Fulton & Co. The
firm has been in business for ten years and it is reported
that the assets largely exceed the liabilities. Jo Frank
was the selling agent for this firm for several years.
NEW ROPE PORTIERE.
THE Buffalo Fringe Works, Buffalo, N. Y., will show a
new idea in rope portieres for the fall season and one
which we are sure will strongly interest the trade. Sam-
ples of this new portiere will be displayed on the road in
ample time for fall ordering, as also new designs in the
popular " Decorative " rope portiere made by this concern.
Morris Bernhard, the proprietor, states that it will pay to
wait and see his company's lines of portieres and the gen-
eral assortment of fringes, borders, loops and trimmings
for the fall season. The few buyers who have been favored
with a view of the new portiere express the opinion that
it will be a winner.
C. C. Caler, until recently buyer of upholstery goods,
&c., for Owen, Moore & Co., Portland, Me., is now with
Oscar F. Hunt, of the same city.
Eighteen hustling salesmen comprise the traveling force
of the Jay C. Wemple Company for the coming season.
They will show the firm's shades, shadings and rollers in
all sections of the United States, and will doubtless receive
substantial evidence of the trade's appreciation of these
" Tapestreola " is the name of a new fabric gotten up
especially for the decorating of walls in dining rooms,
sitting rooms and halls. It is made in a great variety
of colors, mostly in the self tone order, the warm tones
prevailing. The fabric is on sale in the upholstery
department of Joseph G. Darlington, Philadelphia, of
which Mr. Stokes is manager. Mr. Stokes has recently
secured contracts for the furnishing of several houses with
draperies, furniture, &c., to be completed in the fall.

HENRY W. GREEN & CO/S WAR BULLETIN.
pi'osiTE page 8(1 will be found a declaration of war-
war against inferior goods. Henry W. Green &
Co., the Philadelphia window shade manufacturers, state
that they have vowed to sell the "best goods at lowest
prices," and illustrate that victory rests upon those who
buy their Wide Awake window shades, and sorrowful de-
feat upon those who do not buy them. The fact is that
(Ireen & Co. have been for years making a very superior
quality of high grade oil opaque shadings, and have ob-
tained an excellent reputation and a large business on
these goods. They offer them at the lowest prices in con-
sonance with such high quality, and dealers who have
not handled them should at once send for samples and
prices. Other productions of the firm are opaline water
color shades and hand-made special oils, and, as for sev-
eral years past. Green & Co. are one of the largest im-
porters of Scotch Hollands, which they show in all colors
and widths.
HASSALL BROTHERS' FALL STYLES.
NEW fall styles in muslin and net curtains are now shown
by Hassall Brothers, 11 Hay ward place, Boston. They
have brought out several original creations in catchy,
tasteful effects which will certainly suit the popular trade,
while other effects are designed to meet the ideas of high-
est class trade. All the goods supply stylish appearing
curtains at moderate prices.
An idea of the line of high class oil opaque .shadings
made by Henry W. Green & Co. may be obtained from a
view of their sample book, which contains some fifty dif-
ferent colorings. In fineness of muslin and evenness of
finish these goods are the top quality in oil opaques. Send
for a sample book.
From and after July 1 days of grace will be abolished
on all notes, drafts, &c., made on and after that date in
the " State of Rhode Island or Providence Plantations,"
except as provided in Sections 4 and 9 of Chapter 16(j of
the general laws. By those sections all bills of exchange
drawn at sight, due and payable within the State and in
which there is no provision to the contrary will still be
entitled to three days' grace.
Robert Lewis, manufacturer of tapestry curtains, table
covers, couch covers and drapery fabrics, has his new line
for the fall trade on view at his factory, Bridesburg, Pa.,
and at his New York salesroom, 611 Hartford Building,
41 Union square, where Wilber C. Hyde is in charge.
The line is replete with new and handsome effects, in-
cluding Oriental, floral and other designs, and buyers are
advised to see the samples early, for they will well repay
examination.
Hasten & Hund, ■ the window shade manufacturers, 33
Clinton place. New York, are having a very active spring
trade. They now carry, in addition to shade cloths of all
kinds and domestic hollands, a full line of Scotch hol-
lands, and can deliver orders promptly. Frank Hund, of
the firm, is adding new laurels to his reputation as a crack
shade salesman, while C. F. Tompkins, one of the veteran
and most successful shade travelers, is keeping up his end
with the same vigor as shown by him during all the years
of his career.
FLAGS AND AWNING STRIPES.
As large manufacturers and wholesalers of awning
stripes, cotton duck and flags, Hoffman, Corkran &
Co., 209 Church street, Philadelphia, command the atten-
tion of buyers of these goods. Their sales of awning
stripes this season have been very large, and they are now

EXTENSION CURTAIN RODS.
THE demand for the e.x.tension curtain rods made by the
Sash Curtain Rod and Novelty Company, of Provi-
dence, R. I., is keeping the factory employed fifteen hours
per day. These brass rods are used for full size lace cur-
tains as well as for sash and vestibule curtains. The com-
pany are making a double extension rod designed for
frilled or ruffled curtains, allowing half a curtain to be
draped on one rod and half on the other rod. Write for
samples and prices.
James Brooks, of George Brooks & Son, returned from
a road trip last week.
The ingenious London man who supplies human
dummies for receptions, parties, &c., is extending his
business. He tells an English reporter:
" Last year I supplied no fewer than 500 dummy cus-
tomers to the leading West End shops. At the beginning
of all the stock-taking sales they thronged into my clients
establishments, elbowing each other in the rudest manner
in their eagerness for bargains.
" They bought quantities of goods, which, needless to
say, were never delivered. You've no idea how this dodge
influences the general public. It simply made most .of
the sales. Naturally none of the dummies knew each
other, and doubtless some of them smiled at each other's
gullibility, as they mistook one another for genuine cus-
tomers. Five shillings a day I charge for dummy custom-
ers, but then, you see, the work is light and the hours are
short.
'■ Talking of shops, last year I supplied two West End
drapers with a shopwalker apiece. Probably neither of
them had ever been inside an establishment of the kind
before. As a matter of fact, both were gentlemen down
in their luck. I selected them for their exceptionally fine
personal appearance and courtly bearing. Both firms
subtly circulated a romantic rumor in connection with
them, and for a time society nibbled at the spicy tit-bit,
and of course lost no opportunity of getting at the shops
in which the heroes of the stories were employed. Those
two dummies doubled the business during their stay, and
when their novelty had worn off I knew one was pre-
sented with a ;^oO note in addition to his salary."

Robert MacWhInnle.
Robert MacWhinnie, a traveling salesman well known in
the upholstery trade, died on the 16th ult. at his home in
this city at the age of thirty-six years. He came to this
country from Scotland about fifteen years ago, and during
his career in the trade acted as salesman for the Brussels
Tapestry Company, W. & J. Robertson and other uphol-
stery concerns. His last engagement was with Bossut
Pere et Fils, with whom he remained until a few months
ago, when symptoms of consumption developed and con-
fined him to his home. His untimely death is greatly
regretted in the trade, for he was widely known and a
very able and popular salesman. He leaves a widow and
a daughter.
ORINOKA MILLS.
THE new lines of the Orinoka Mills are now on view and
they are well calculated to show the perfection which
has been attained in upholstery and drapery goods manu-
facture in this country.
The line of wool tapestries is especially extensive and
attractive, embracing every grade from the cheapest to
the finest. The choice mohair goods in the best grade
deserve particular attention. In Derbys a big line is
shown, including solid colors, and figured goods in new and
beautiful styles. In the very extensive assortment of
mercerized cotton goods, buyers will find' a superb range
of handsome effects Algerian stripes in cvirtains and
yard goods are another interesting feature. These goods
should be seen by every buyer, and the same remark ap-
plies to the new line of curtains in Oriental effects, which
show a great improvement in this class of goods.
The Orinoka Mills' lines have been in great demand and
the goods are now sold up six weeks ahead. The mills'
new offerings surpass all it has ever made before and there
is no doubt that there will be a big demand for them.
They are shown at the New York salesrooms. Fifth
avenue and vSeventeenth street; at Garnet above Lehigh
street, Philadelphia; at 16 Hanover street, Boston, and at
76 Monroe street, Chicago.

NEW USE FOR WALL PAPER.
A NOVEL and decorative use for the surplus paper re-
maining after the walls are finished is making val-
ances and lambrequins for the windows and doors of a
room. A recently completed suite of rooms shows ex-
amples of this idea in styles appropriate to the decorative
features of each apartment ; no poles are used, and the
continued line of wall pattern across the window and door
openings is singularly appropriate and effective.
The practical part of the work is simple enough. The
wall paper is pasted to cheese cloth or sheeting, and cut
out to the desired shape, the trimming being fluting or
ruching of the same stuff, with pipes or jabots at dis-
cretion. The cornices of light pine are covered with cloth
lined paper, and are given a touch of ornamentation by
the use of ruching similar to that trimming the valances.
Long curtains of Singapore lattice, Calcutta net or Colonial
muslin are hung on light rods inside the cornices, and may
be drawn aside without interfering with the draped effect.
These window and door headings are easily kept clean,
and may remain in place when the lower curtains or
portieres are removed for the summer.
Why the ingenious idea has not occurred to anyone
before, in view of the recurring difficulty of obtaining
fabrics which go with wall papers, is a matter to be
wondered at, but its simplicity and appropriateness are
sure to make it popular, now that it has been discovered
and put in practicable shape.

health. Mr. Pebbles acted upon the advice and was accus-
tomed to winter near San Francisco, returning to Oak
Park about May 1 each year. His health gradually im-
proved and his family hoped for his entire recovery.
About a year ago, however, he developed symptoms of
heart disease, which resulted in his death.
BREACH OF CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT.
GEORGE E. Coy, in a suit he brought against William
Campbell for damages for alleged wrongful discharge,
claimed that in July, 1895, Campbell employed him for
one year at a guaranteed salary of $5,000 as general man-
ager of Campbell's wall paper business, and that he was
wrongfully discharged in March, 1896. The suit, though
brought in April, 1896, was not tried tmtil February, 1898.
Mr. Campbell having died meantime, Richard M. Morton
and others, as executors, were substituted as defendants.
The death of Campbell took away the right of plaintiff to
be sworn as a witness, and his case was made by evidence
of one Fischer, who testified to hearing the contract of
employment between plaintiff and Campbell. Judgment
given in favor of plaintiff" has been affirmed by the First
Appellate Division, which held, by Justice Rumsey, that
though the truthfulness of this testimony was attacked by
defendant, it was, upon the whole case, a question for the
jury whether the contract was made. The fact that Camp-
bell expressed a willingness to employ plaintiff as a travel-
ing salesman, upon a different contract, it was held did not
take away the effect of the discharge from the previous
employment.

As doubtless most of our customers have already a sufficient quantity
of old patterns secured through the medium of "Auction Sales," "Surplus
Stocks," etc., we would say that OUf Fall UfieS will be largely made up of
new, desirable patterns and colorings, selected and to be distributed in
such a way that a retailer can control a pattern and thereby secure a
profit.
If this seems to be a reasonable principle, we shall be glad to show
our lines to our friends and answer correspondence.
Our New Private Patterns in Wiltons and Brussels
are now ready. The line is unsurpassed in colorings for medium and
high class trade.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1, 1898,
To Buyers of Upholstery Goods :
You'll find our "Ads." to be the smallest part of our business. We lay more
stress on our reputation as successful manufacturers. A FEW SOLID FACTS,
if read and digested by thinking buyers, are worth pages of talk.
The well-merited popularity of our goods has not been established because
SAY SO. We haven't been running our mills uninterruptedly ever since the
beginning of our business, nor have we been compelled to build an additional
mill because we devote a certain amount of space to sel f -approbation in the
trade journals.
It naturally follows that commodities strictly up-to-date and not infre-
quently in advance (as in our ease) find a ready market. Success is not the
result of mere chance or accident. The constant bettering of a product long
known as the best of its kind has made us what we are to-day :- —

MODERN UPHOLSTERIES.
It is evident that buyers are becoming more convinced every season that It
does not pay to purchase foreign made Upholstery and Drapery Fabrics
when they can buy American made goods of equal quality and superior
styles at considerably less money, That our productions for the
FALL OF 1898
will substantiate the correctness of this assertion
we leave to the judgment of the Trade and invite the most careful
comparison between them and imported fabrics.

ILLUSTRATING the high consideration these popular goods hold in the estimation of the most
experienced importers of shade goods in the country, the attention of the trade is invited to
the above opinions, published in the columns of this and other journals, over the signatures
of the respective firms.
Enterprising but unscrupulous parties unable to reach the exalted standard of these celebrated goods,
pay them the flattery of imitating the wrappings. It is the Goods, not the wrappings, the
trade is after. See that Bands, Tickets and Tabs of every piece are marked
''JOHN KING & SON."

THE SECRET OF WEAR IN
RUBBER MATTING
is elasticity — not so much as in rubber bands,
but enough to let the matting give when the
foot strikes and lessen the blow. Ordinary
matting is made of a poor quality of rubber,
brittle and stiff. The foot lands heavily, and
rapidly wears away the rubber or breaks it off.
In our mats, matting and step-treads we use
a tough, elastic rubber, which yields to the
foot and saves itself, springing back into shape
as soon as the pressure is removed. Two
grades: Spider — excellent quality and a good
wearer- Double Diamond — superior quality
and an exceptional wearer. Call or write.

-7^) CARPETS, v^
The Carpets made by this Company have received the highest award wherever exhibited,
including Gold Medals at the Paris Exposition, 1878, and at the Centennial, 1876.
Their deserved reputation for excellence of fabric, richness and durability of color, novelty and
beauty of design, has led to frequent infringements, and inferior goods have often been palmed off
in their stead. For the protection of the public the Company has adopted as a trade mark the word
" BIGELOW," which will be woven (at every repeat of the pattern) in white capitals into the back
of the fabric. Customers will therefore have merely to examine the back of a carpet to be certain
that they are getting the genuine Bigelow goods.
THESE GOODS CAN BE HAD FROM ALL FIRST-CLASS DEALERS.

'Our readers are ur^ed to remember that we are
always desirous to receive communications of interest to
the carpet or upholstery trades, such as changes in firms
or managers, the building or opening of new stores,
mprovements in old ones, the adding of new departments,
improved methods of doing business, new inventions, sug-
gestions as to the cutting, making and laying of carpets,
the designing and fitting of draperies, or inquiries and
dissertations relating to the technical or commercial details
of the trades to which this periodical is devoted.
THE TRADE SITUATION.
T^HE excitement prevailing during the recent auction
' sale of Smith carpeting has in a measure subsided.
The jobbers are making active preparations for marketing
their purchases through their customary trade channels,
and it is to be hoped that the goods will reach the con-
sumer without too serious a disturbance of value, especially
as it now seems probable that there will not be another
auction sale this season.
Velvet and Tapestry carpetings have of course been
injuriously affected by recent events, and prices have been
reduced 5 cents a yard. The Ingrain manufacturers are
doing a fair amount of business, but a considerable part of
the fall demand will doubtless come later. The rug trade
is active, manufacturers of Smyrnas are well em-
ployed, and the specialties shown in rugs of other weaves,
new and old, seem to find a ready and expanding market.
Reports from the floor oil cloth makers are fairly en-
couraging, and the linoleum trade is especially good.
The travelers are on the road, but it is too early yet to
form an opinion as to the results of their trips.
T
THE SITUATION ON PRICES.
HAT the market has been disturbed through the sales
at auction and sales of surplus stocks in Tapestries,
Velvets, Axminsters, &c., goes without saying. That
such stocks were accumulated is unfortunate for the trade
as a whole and of doubtful benefit to the producers.
The policy of running in accordance with demand has
proved beneficial to the Philadelphia manufacturers, and
it would seem as if the same policy might be wisely
adopted by other makers.
There is no gainsaying the right of a manufacturer, or
jobber, or retailer to dispose of his wares in any manner
he chooses, but the buyer has an equal right to purchase
according to his best judgment. From all we can learn
the large majority of buyers are opposed to such violent
depreciations of values as have occurred in the goods above
mentioned.
No merchant can get in and out of stock quick enough
to accommodate himself to the rapid changes which have
occurred in these prices during the past forty-five days,
and it certainly seems judicious for the manufacturers to
conserve the merchants' interests. One cannot do without
the other, and the protests of merchants against the recent
The Carpet Trade Review.
market changes will doubtless be heeded. The one favor-
able outlook is that, despite the great quantity of goods
let out since May 1, there is an opening for those makers
who desire to continue to sell by regular methods.
While orders are not as large as usual for a season's open-
ing, we believe the trade atmosphere will clear as the season
progresses and each manufacturer will find he still has an
opportunity to do business.

A COMPLIMENT FOR THE REVIEW.
Washington, D. C, June 3, 1898.
The Carpet and Upholstery Trade Review:
Much obliged for the information regarding hassock
manufacturers. I don't see how the carpet men can get
along without The Review. A dealer who tries to dis-
pense with it gives, in my opinion, ample evidence that
he is a back number in the trade.
We have received the contract for furnishing matting
and linoleum to the Interior Department.

THE NEW ONE PIECE RUG.
BARNES & Beyer have received universal encomiums
from all the trade who have viewed their new
Khorasan rugs, on the high quality and superior character
of the patterns and colorings produced. It is universally
acknowledged that their production is the highest grade
one piece carpet yet turned out in this country and that the
styles are eminently appropriate and suitable for American
trade. The enterprise of the concern in preparing this
superior fabric deserves recognition in good orders from
all users of high-class rugs, and now that Barnes & Beyer
are prepared to deliver the goods the trade should en-
courage this new industry with liberal orders.
The R. H. & B. C. Reeve Company's new line of floor
oil cloths for the fall trade has evidently made a highly
favorable impression upon buyers, for W. & J. Sloane, the
selling agents, report that the goods are almost sold up.
THE HANDSOMEST ORIENTAL
RUG ESTABLISHMENT IN AMERICA.
I o say that Fritz & La Rue, of
Philadelphia, have now the hand-
somest Oriental rug establish-
ment in America is speaking ad-
visedly, as everyone who is ac-
quainted with rug salesrooms
through this country and abroad
will acknowledge the correctness
of this statement after viewing the
large new establishment of this
firm. They have just removed
from 1138 and 1130 Market street
to 1218 and 1220 Chestnut street,
Philadelphia, occupying a build-
ing 60 feet front by 235 feet deep
and four stories high on the
Chestnut street front and three
stories high on the back street.
Between the two extremities the establishment for about
150 feet is one storj^, lighted by Monitor skylights, thus
giving an abundance of natural light throughout the entire
235 feet of length of the main floor, a construction very
rarely found. The building was formerly occupied by a
high-class ladies' costumer and was lavishly and magni-
ficently fitted up with plate glass mirrors, mahogany fix-
tures, frescoed walls and ceilings, and in fact was a notable
example of ornate and artistic store furnishing. It is said
that the former tenant spent $56,000 on the fittings, of
which $10,000 represents plate glass mirrors.
The main floor is divided into sections by Moorish
woodwork partitions, and these sections will be used by
Fritz & La Rue for different kinds of Oriental rugs and
carpets. The establishment is situated in the busiest part
of Philadelphia, on Chestnut street, between Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets, and the entrance is most notable among
the many attractive exteriors to be found on this repre-
sentative American shopping street. Immediately within
the entrance the space is devoted to a reception room, in
which the floor is handsomely tiled and the fittings are all
in mahogany, including elaborately carved mantels, with
rare pieces of art bric-^-brac. On either side is a large
swell front glass case, in which will be displayed some silk
and other costly rug pieces. The large sections in the
interior will be devoted one to carpets and the others to
rugs, and, as stated, the light is superb and the surround-
ings eminently appropriate for Oriental goods.
The three floors above the store floor on the Chestnut
street front are reached by a passenger elevator and will
be stocked with Oriental rugs and carpets, while the rear
building will be given over to the matting department and
private and general offices. There is also a basement ex-
tending the entire length of the building, which supplies
immense capacity for storing mattings or other stock. The
establishment is lighted with a myriad of incandescent
lights, operated by an individual dynamo plant in the
basement. When thoroughly settled this establishment
will be positively one of the show places of this country,
and rug buyers should visit it, not only to see the great
stock of Oriental rugs and carpets and China and Japan
mattings imported by Fritz & La Rue for the trade, but
they will also obtain many points as to up-to-date methods
of displaying these goods.

The employees of S. Baumann & Brothers will have
their annual outing on Sunday, June 19.
The Saturday half-holiday is now universally observed
in the trade, and will continue until September 1, if not
longer.
Henry Mannes & Sons, carpet and furniture dealers,
429 Eighth avenue, will remove to the premises 155 and

T. J. Keveney & Co. have become selling agents for
Hirst & Rogers' Velvets. These are ten-wire goods, and
the line of patterns embraces a wide variety of new and
handsome effects.
W. & J. Sloane, selling agents for the Nairn Linoleum
Company, are very well satisfied with the demand for the
company's goods to this date, the product of the works
being well sold up.
The Siegel-Cooper Company's Employees' Association
has arranged for several cottages for the summer at Long
Branch and Asbury Park, for its members to occupy dur-

A mass meeting to agitate for the early closing of stores
in Brooklyn will be held in Palace Hall, Grand street,
Brooklyn, on June 15. The meeting is called under the
joint direction of the Eastern District Early Closing As-
sociation, composed of dry goods salesmen, and of the
Furniture and Carpet Employees' Association.
Andrew and John Nelson, composing the firm of Nelson
Brothers, dealers in carpets and furniture at 261 Atlantic
avenue, Brooklyn, made a general assignment on the 11th
inst. for the benefit of the creditors to Ambrose B. Tre-
maine, a lawyer, of Montague street. The liabilities are
unknown. Nicholas Nelson is a preferred creditor for
$1,200 money loaned.
Speaking recently to a representative of The Review,
Mr. W. W. Law, of W. & J. Sloane, said that his com-
pany were selling at private sale more goods than they
had expected to dispose of, this being the result of the
travelers going out, and that the outlook seemed to
him quite encouraging. In regard to the marketing of
mill products Mr. Law said that, although it seemed a
paradox, there was nothing in which a carpet manufac-
turer took less interest than he did in a piece of carpet,
and that when this was not the case, the manufacturer
was simply a speculator in carpets. The Moquette mill
of the Alexander Smith & Sons Carpet Company has been
closed for an indefinite period.
Architect Ernest Flagg has filed plans at the Building
Department for a fourteen story addition to the Singer
Building, to be erected at 85 to 89 Liberty street, and
covering a plot 74 feet 10 inches by 93 feet 3 inches The
ground was purchased by the Singer Manufacturing Com-
pany at partition sale last fall. The estimated cost of the
new structure is $450,000
An explosion look place on the 2d inst. in the basement
of the two story brick business building at 241 West 125th
street. It was followed by a fire which did about $4,000
worth of damage, but was soon put out. An employee of
a real estate dealer who has an office on the ground floor
went into the cellar for something. There was oil there,
and it is thought the man lit a match to find his way and
that the oil exploded. A dense cloud of smoke rolled out
of the basement. Firemen at once summoned soon put
out the fire. The upper part of 339, which is part of the
burned building, is occupied by Hobson Brothers, carpet
and furniture dealers. They say their stock was damaged
$2,000 by water.
CLAFLIN COMPANY'S ORIENTAL RUG OFFERINGS.
THE Oriental rug department of the H. B. Claflin Com-
pany is now open for business, and the offerings
comprise a very extensive and superior line in all grades
and sizes. These goods are now a fixed feature of the com-
pany's mammoth carpet department. They represent care-
ful and exceptionally large selections made by the com-
pany's own buyer during a recent trip to the rug districts
of the Orient. No dealer who handles such goods can
afford to pass this collection without inspecting it.
The Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company have recently
opened a branch office in Milan, Italy, and also one in
Scandinavia, and they are now practically covering all
European countries.
In our "Special Notice" column a manufacturer of
linoleum and table and enameled oil cloths advertises for
salesmen to represent him in the Southern Coast States
from Baltimore south, and also, in Kansas, Nebraska,
Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi. The lines can be carried
in connection with other goods and the opportunity is one
to interest good salesmen.

streets, are busy in every department and are running to
their fullest capacity. The popularity of the Messrs. Gay's
special weaves in Ingrains, known as the Rajahs and the
Flemish Tapestries, is constantly increasing, and orders
are accumulating for them daily. The rapidity with
which these goods have found favor with the trade is a
gratifying proof that there is a growing disposition on
the part of retail carpet dealers and consumers to favor
goods that are known to be of high quality and superior
in design and shading. The Messrs Gay are also showing
a fine line of Extra Supers that are fully up to the stand-
ard in quality and excellency of design and coloring.

the fall.
....Edward Strawbridge, of Strawbridge & Clothier,

. . . .Besides the new weaves recently issued by James &
Geo. D. Bromley at their Albion Mills, Adams and Jasper
streets, they are also showing a line of medium grades of
Ingrains and are now running a portion of their looms in
furnishing them. The old, full standard qualities remain
the same as they have always been and are not changed
excepting in design and colors. The new weaves will be
sold for what they are, and in no instance will they be
represented as being anything else. In putting forth the
medium qualities of Ingrain carpets the Messrs. Bromley
are simply complying with a popular demand for a greater
variety in quality.
BOSTON BUDGET.
Gilbert, Brooks & Tebbutt have made some changes
recently in the front of their Summer street carpet store

H. B. CLAFLIN COMPANY'S CARPET DEPARTMENT.
THE travelers for the H. B. Claflin Company's carpet
department are meeting with much more success on
the road than was expected in view of the prevailing con-
ditions. Manager Winters says that the orders sent in are
very satisfactory, and that there is no doubt that the
department will get its usual large fall business in the
lines of goods generally carried in it, and everyone in
the trade knows what an immense factor the department
is in the trade of every season. It could not be other-
wise in view of the extraordinary attractions ofliered by
the H. B. Claflin Company, controlling as it does the prod-
uct of a number of carpet and rug mills, carrying an im-
mense stock of every description of domestic floor coverings,
and being exceptionally conspicuous also in the importing
of Chinese and Japanese mattings, while it is also showing
for the fall trade a remarkably extensive and well varied
stock of Oriental rugs and carpets of its own importation.
A glance at these offerings will convince buyers that Mr.
Winters is determined to make these goods a highly im-
portant feature of his mammoth stock of floor coverings.
VANTINE'S JAPANESE RUGS AND MATTINGS.
ON page 21 of this issue A. A. Vantine & Co. call
attention to their extensive offerings in jute and
cotton rugs. These goods are ofl:ered in a great variety of
sizes and styles, and at special prices well calculated to
interest shrewd buyers. They quote also very attractive
prices on Japanese mattings, of which they show a great
assortment. The trade are advised to write for samples
of these goods, for Vantine & Co., as large and direct im-
porters, are in a position to offer the strongest possible
inducements to all handlers of such goods.

Business is very good in this, the queen of gas towns,
and has been unusually brisk since spring trade opened.
W. A. McNaughton, whose magnificently
equipped department store is doing the
leading business, reports his carpet trade
far ahead of '97. Frank McNaughton, who manages the
carpet and upholstery department, is one of the best
judges and keenest buyers in the State, and the depart-
ment reflects his taste.
E. J. Hickson & Co., furniture and carpets, are doing
their usual share. They succeeded Parish & Hickson.

Lima, Ohio.
Carroll & Cooney report their business in carpets and
floor coverings as a considerable advance over 1897, their
March business being treble that of March,
1897. Chas. Dimond is the manager of this
rapidly growing department, and his stock shows the hall
mark of taste, while his facility for disposing of remnant
stock is proverbial.
John O'Connor and J. W. Rowlands also carry furni-
ture and carpets.
Neuman & Williams are well pleased with their business
for spring, and look for a good fall trade. They are rap-
idly becoming factors in the furnishing trade of Lima, and
this is due largely to the popularity of both partners,
whose, friends are legion.
Hoover Brothers are now occupying their new building,
which is one the largest in the State devoted to the sale of
furniture, carpets and housefurnishing goods. Their 100
feet front of plate glass gives them a magnificent oppor-
tunity for display, and the chance is always accepted,
forming an unusually attractive sight to would-be pur-
chasers, who seldom escape them. H.
MacElroy & ScHOLES, Philadelphia, are showing a new
idea in Pro-Brussels Art Squares. These goods make a

The Carpet Trade Review.
PROGRESS OF THE INGRAIN INDUSTRY.
THE Ingrain carpet industry
was started in Philadelphia
the weaver was not blessed
with a three story house with
pressed brick front, brown
stone trimmings, bath room
and other pleasant surround-
ings in the way of carpets,
furniture, &c., such as hap-
pily he can boast of to-day.
He had no objections to hav-
ing his hand loom, bobbin
wheel, yarn racks, &c. , in
his best room. He would
sandwich himself between
two large bundles of skein
yarn and march off to the public dye house, returning
laden in the same way with dyed yarn. His helpmate
would sit on a three legged stool, turning the bobbin
wheel with one hand and guiding the yarn on to the bob-
bin as it passed between the fingers of the other hand,
changing at intervals from one guide finger as the skin
would become worn away to another recently healed.
The bobbins are no longer in use, but it is difficult to
realize that it is less than twenty years since this slow and
painful method was altogether abandoned. The weaver
of that time would sit and sing and weave a little now and
again between smokes and drinks and finally land his
finished piece of carpet at his employer's place in a wheel-
barrow. The fathers of some of our present most pros-
perous Philadelphia manufacturers were not ashamed to
be seen with a piece of carpet in a wheelbarrow.
In those days the main study of the weaver was the
number of shuttles used, how to select them and at the
same time secure a good selvage. Sometimes more than
thirty shuttles were introduced in some way during each
repeat of the pattern. This error of introducing so many
shuttles was carried far into the power loom period, and .
gave no end of trouble to loom builders, machinists and
fixers, as shown in the monster upright arrangement of
shuttle boxes in the Duckworth and Bigelow looms and
the revolving shuttle boxes of the old Murkland loom.
Not until the inventor came along with his many improve-
ments and solved the problem of how to shade without
striping did superfluous shuttle boxes find their way to
the sci'ap iron pile and was it possible to make selvages
neat, strong and continuous.
The difficulties experienced and overcome by our pioneer
Philadelphia manufacturers in procuring designs for
Ingrain carpets may be imagined from the fact that on
account of the scarcity of designing ability they would
even be obliged to resort to a scheme as follows: They
got a sample of English or Scotch carpet having a margin
over the full length of the pattern, then removed the weft
from a few inches of the margin, and the warps thus ex-
posed and set free they would draw in proper order
through an ordinary loom reed, the whole being held
taut. Next, a weft from the first pair in the pattern
would be drawn forward an inch or so, which would act as
a substitute for the first line of a regular painted design,
and with a hammer in one hand and a single punch in the
other our enterprising manufacturer read and punched his
card as the warp lying over the weft would indicate.
But a set of cards once secured would often remain on
the loom undisturbed for years, and the patterns were so
scarce in number and variety that each design had a name
of its own, such, for instance, as " Henry Clay," " The
Eagle," "Walls of Troy," &c.
But after Jonathan Crabtree and his brother, Ben Crab-
tree, left England and started designing and card stamp-
ing in Philadelphia the Ingrain industry gradually gained
activity, until the limited capacity for color effect, natural
to the weave as compared with other carpet fabrics, began
to affect the demand for the goods. The Ingrain trade
was suffering seriously from this cause when Mr. Hardwick
discovered a method of materially increasing its design-
ing and coloring capacity, without adding to its cost,
as illustrated in his mate thread weave. This invention
gave new life to the whole industry. The demand for
change is now so great that at the present time there are
many Ingrain carpet manufacturers in Philadelphia who
now introduce in a single year more than a hundred
new designs and several hundred new samples, showing
the designs in different color combinations, while the com-
bined capacity of Philadelphia manufacturers is, perhaps,
100,000 rolls of Ingrain carpet per annum.
Not the least among the men of enterprise to whom the
Ingrain industry of Philadelphia is indebted for its rapid
progress was M. A. Furbush, for in addition to his perse-
verance in perfecting the Murkland power loom he ma-
terially assisted many beginners in the trade by his liberal
methods and generous dealings. The Murkland power
loom is very desirable for heavy Extra Super, &c., on
account of its weight, firmness and beating up power.
The Knowles and Crompton power looms are especially
valuable inventions for both 4-4 goods and Art Squares.
Just about the time that Mr. Hardwick simplified the
shading of Ingrains came the Knowles and Crompton
universal four shuttle box motion, a clever device by
which any one of the four shuttle boxes on either side of
the loom could readily be brought into play whenever
desired. Their improved Jacquard also added materially
to the advantages of Ingrain carpet manufacturers, and
especially in Ait Squares.
The Tapestries offered by the James Dunlap Carpet
Company, Philadelphia, for the fall trade are even better
in quality and styles than any of their previous season's
productions. The goods have a worsted face, well covered,
and are sufficiently soft and pliable to meet all require-
ments. They can be seen in New York at the Hartford
Building, where the Dunlap Company is represented by.
S. E. Weeks.
Bedros Kazanjian, 32 Greene street, New York, has
just received an invoice of 300 excellent Shiratz rugs,
which run from prayer rug sizes to very large pieces.
These are all very rare in design, very silky and har-
monious in colorings and in perfect condition. Mr. Kazan-
jian reports a very satisfactory business. He is disposing
of his goods at a very small margin, and the trade there-
fore pay him frequent visits.

buildings, which will be used for the manufacture of
linoleum.
THOMAS BOGGS & SONS' NEW MILLS.
THE "Model Mills" are aptly named, especially in con-
nection with the large new mills now occupied by
Thos. Boggs & Sons, at Second street and Allegheny ave-
nue, Philadelphia. The construction and arrangement of
these mills and the handsome exterior comprise a model
establishment for Ingrain manufacture. The main build-
ing is 210 feet long by 54 feet wide, and one floor is spa-
cious enough to take in the entire plant of nearly 100
Ingrain looms, with room for twenty-five more. The
Messrs. -Boggs occupy the entire first and second floors,
the first floor being utilized for winding and other proc-
esses of preparing the yarn for the looms and for yarn
storage, together with shipping room. The second floor
is devoted to the weaving looms. There is an ''L" of
55x34 feet extending the entire five stories of the struc-
ture. The architect is William Steele, a leading builder
and architect of Philadelphia, who has done himself great
credit in both the exterior and interior design and con-
struction of the mill. The Messrs. Boggs, however, are
also responsible for many of the new ideas in its arrange-
ment, as they aimed to have everything of the best character
and utilize all possible improvements. The engine and
boiler house and machinery therein, the sprinkling and
water system and the sanitary and other arrangements for
the hands are all of the most perfected character.
In this model mill the Messrs. Boggs will continue to
manufacture their well-known grades of Union and Cotton
Ingrains, keeping them up to the high standard for which
they have so long been noted. It is also pleasant to announce
that their fall ordersareof the usual large volume and prom-
ise steady running for the new mills throughout the season.
The Carpet Trade Review.
THE GREAT AUCTION SALE.
PROCEEDINGS ON THE LAST DAY. GENERAL REVIEW OF THE SALE.
N our last issue we noted the proceedings
on two days of the auction sale of Smith
carpeting held May 31, June 1 and 2,
but were obliged to go to press before
the conclusion of the sale on the third
day.
On this, which was the 2d inst., the
first goods offered were nine lots of Ne
Plus Ultra carpeting, the highest price
realized for any lot being $1.04 and the
lowest 96 cents. The Extra Tapestries,
which came next on the catalogue, com-
prised thirty-four lots. The highest price obtained for
these was 45 cents, the lowest 40^ cents and the average
i3}4 cents. These figures showed a reduction as com-
pared with the prices obtained for the same grade on
Maj' 31. The Smith Axminsters, 105 lots of which were
the next goods offered, also failed to bring so much as
they had two days before, the highest price on the third day
being 57^ cents, the lowest 50 cents and the average 53.
Of the Saxony Axminsters, which came next, only ten
lots were offered, the highest price secured being 57^
cents, the lowest 49 cents and the average 51^ cents.
These prices were about the same as those which were
obtained for the ninety-one lots sold on the preceding day,
but not so good as those secured for the fifteen lots sold
on May 31.
It was about noon when the Wilton Velvets, the next
grade on the catalogue, were offered. A number of
buyers had left the auction room, and after ten or twelve
lots had been sold the bidding slackened and prices
dropped considerably. When thirty-two lots had been
sold the sale was stopped for half an hour, as usual at
luncheon time, and when the buyers came in again for the
afternoon session Mr. Walter W. Law, of W. & J. Sloane,
opened the proceedings by taking the auctioneer's stand
and addressing them as follows:
Gentlemen — As it is our full intention to close this sale to-night,
with the completion of the catalogue, it is perhaps only fitting that I
should say a word or two, as we have been so often asked to do, in
relation to that which is to follow. And I can say in a word in start-
ing that the future rests with you. We shall commence after this
sale is over to offer goods in the store, as we have been accustomed
to offer them at the close of every season, hoping thereby promptly
and early to close up whatever remainder of stock the Alex. Smith
& Sons Carpet Company may hold. We want to take you into our
confidence as fully as it is in our power to do. There are some
things we do not know ourselves — we are neither prophets nor the
sons of prophets, and therefore cannot divine the future very far
ahead ; but we want to say this : that the prices which we shall ask
you for the fabrics of the Alex. Smith & Sons Carpet Company on
the floor will make some of you wish very much that you had bought
more of them than you have bought during the past few days. I
congratulate you all, gentlemen, upon the purchases you have made^
and I want to say that some of you who have some rankling in your
hearts .against the methods of the Alex. Smith & Sons Company,
will when you get home and make comparisons with the prices at
which the goods can be bought conclude that the Alex. Smith &
Sons Carpet Company have been your best friends. There are
some who do not like auctions, and I am free to confess I am one of
them, but I also confess that we have the full conviction that there
are times and circumstances under which it is wiser to resort to an
auction than to go on in the chaotic condition that the carpet trade
was in a month ago. No one knew what the value of goods was,
and it is the supreme faith we have in the carpet trade of America
putting the proper value upon carpets that made us appeal to you
to put your own prices upon them. It is our earnest hope — shall I
say confident belief — that you will take from us the reinainder of our
stock on the floor at private sale before the close of this six months —
which will be next month. It is in your own hands, gentlemen, as
to whether there shall be another auction or not. If you take all
that we have in stock or shall have left at that time there can be no
auction ; it is for you to decide. But at the end of the six months,
carrying out the conviction of the Alex. Smith & Sons Carpet Com-
pany, whatever may remain at that time — little or big — must as-
suredly be closed up, for the company are firm in their conviction that
every piece of goods which they hold shall be closed up with the
closing of this six months' business.
We thank you all very much for your kind attendance here during
the week that you have given us your attention, and will thank you
still more if you prevent another auction taking place ; it is for you
to decide.
At the conclusion of Mr. Law's speech the sale of Wil-
ton V^elvets was resumed, there being nineteen more lots on
the catalogue. On the fifty-one lots of these goods sold,
the highest price secured was 90 cents, the lowest 62}^
cents and the average 81 cents. On May 31 some lots
of this grade brought 95 cents, and the average price was
84 cents, but then only nineteen lots were offered.
Forty-six lots of Extra Velvets were then disposed of,
the highest price being 84 cents, the lowest 69 cents, and
the average 79^ cents. Fourteen more lots of Wilton
Velvets were sold next, the highest price obtained being
85 cents, the lowest 70 cents and the average 78. A few
lots of Moquette mats followed, the highest price for any
being 61 cents, lowest 50)4 cents and the average 59 cents.
Thirty-four lots of E rugs were then sold at an average
price of $1.10, the highest figures being $1 17}4 and the
lowest $1 06>^. In four lots of the Ne Plus Ultra rugs
the average price was $3.75 and the lowest $3 50, none
going higher than $4.00. The Moquettes which came
next on the catalogue, comprised sixty-two lots, and the
average price realized was o2}4 cents, the lowest being 49
cents and the highest 58 cents. Best Tapestries, which
were the next and last goods sold, brought an average
price of 4:'.i}i cents, the highest price in the ninety-one lots
disposed of being 47 cents and the lowest 40 cents. The
last lot sold at the sale was bought by the Charles R.
Company, of Hartford, Conn.

three days of the sale for the various grades disposed of

tion, was in progress
on the 8th inst. a fire
broke out in Penn
square, the main busi-
ness thoroughfare of
the city. The twelve
local companies and

line at the time. They
immediately broke
ranks and proceeded
to the scene of the
conflagration, fol-
lowed by the thou-
sands of people who
had gathered in the

rade. After half an
hour's hard work the flames were gotten under control.
The fire originated in a notion store, which was burned

A GROUNDLESS APPREHENSION.
; o much has been said in the public prints
and elsewhere as to possible disturbances
and trouble on the Atlantic coast, in view
of the present war, and also of the lurking
danger in submarines mines and torpedoes
with which our harbors have been pro-
tected, that the timidity of a large number of people has
been increased, and many have refrained from making
their annual spring outing to one of the seaside resorts.
The best proof that these dangers are imaginary is found
in the fact that the great coastwise lines continue to oper-
ate their schedule uninterruptedly. For instance, the
steamships of the Old Dominion Steamship Company,
running between New York and Virginia, have lost none
of their trips and do not expect to do so.
Interest in Fortress Monroe, Old Point Comfort, New-
port News, Hampton Roads and Washington has never
attained a greater height since the civil war.
Stinson Brothers have reduced the prices of their Tap-
estry and Velvet carpeting 5 cents a yard, •
Brown. — H. V. Brown, who has been long and favorably known
throughout New York State in connection with carpeting and mat-
tings, has made arrangements to represent John H. Pray, Sons &
Co. throughout this State, and will make his headquarters at Troy,
N. Y. Mr. Brown has always had the reputation of a thoroughly
reliable and altogether patient salesman, with the result that he has
surrounded himself by many staunch friends, and we doubt not that
this season, with the effect of giving him as good a send-off as
possible in his new position, many orders will be reserved for
him. He will represent both the carpetings and mattings of Pray,
Sons & Co.
Clark. — George B. Clark, of George B. Clark & Co., carpet and
furniture dealers, Bridgeport, Conn., is a new papa, but there is no
truth in the rumor that the little one already sings "Daddy, You're
So Good"; it's another song.
Coon. — Frank Coon, who has had charge of the carpet depart-
ment of Frankenstein & Co., Westerly, R. I., has decided to return
to his former home in the West.
Craft. — H. T. Craft, manager of the carpet and upholstery
department of the Keely Company, Atlanta, Ga. , was in New York
last week purchasing fall supplies. Mr. Craft reports a very satis-
factory trade during the spring season, especially in matting, sales
of which have been beyond the utmost anticipations and far ahead
of any previous season. The space in his department has been
increased during the past six months, and the company are well
satisfied with their business in these goods.
Dyer. — Herbert S. Dyer, formerly a well-known carpet salesman,
is doing well as agent for a surety company at Portland, Me. Mr.
Dyer left the carpet trade about four years after a twelve years' ex-
perience in it as salesman for the E. S. Higgins Carpet Company
and Arnold, Constable & Co.
Georg. — Charles Georg, an employee of the Day Carpet and Fur-
niture Company, Peoria, 111,, has a brother in the gold region, from
whom he is very anxious to hear. The man left Portland with five
others, and has been in Alaska since January 5. It is doubtful if he
knows that war has been declared, or of other important events.
Mr. Georg, of Peoria, wrote to his brother some time ago, directing
the letter in charge of one who is interested in the expedition, but
has been advised that his letter will not reach his brother before
June 15.
Knapp — Day. — Hiram Miller Knapp, son of Sheppard Knapp, of
Sheppard Knapp & Co., and Miss Grace Martin Day were married
at the Mount Morris Baptist Church, New York, last evening, 14th
inst.
TuRKiNGTON. — Alexander Turkington, superintendent of the La-
fayette (Ind. ; Carpet Company, went to Fort Wayne on the 2d inst.
and was there united in marriage to Mrs. Mary J. Turkington, from
whom he was divorced soon after he became a resident of Lafayette.
V.AN Gaasbeek. — A. B. Van Gaasbeek, the veteran Albany carpet
dealer, is fully up to the times in everything concerning the trade.
He was a notable buyer at the Smith Company's auction sale last
month, and showed excellent judgment, as usual, in his purchases.
Yardum. — Armen Yardum, of Yardum Brothers & Co., importers,
of Oriental rugs, sailed for Europe recently on the steamship Lucania.
During his trip abroad he will visit all the principal rug districts of
the Orient and will include Japan and India in his tour. Mr.
Yardum will meet in Damascus, his buyer, Mr. Dommar, who pre-
ceded him in search of novelties and specialties in Damascus furni-
ture, antique lamps, arms, armor, draperies, &c.

■^ OBITUARY NOTES. ^^
Daniel Burnman, an old and well-known citizen of Mil-
ton, Pa., died there on June 3, in the seventy-fourth year
of his age. He served as deputy postmaster in the latter
part of the sixties. His trade was that of a carpet weaver
and he acted as superintendent and manager of the State
prison carpet and jute manufacturing department of the
Northumberland County jail for several years
Mrs. Eliza Lacey, widow of John Lacey, of the old car-
pet firm of Ailing & Lacey, and mother of D. E. Lacey,
manager of the carpet department of Ehrich Brothers,
New York, died on the 6th inst. at the age of sixty-nine
years.
Charles Flagg, an old and well-known carpet and furni-
ture dealer at Richmond, Me., died on the 21st ult. at the
age of eighty-five years. He started in business in 1867,
having bought the stock and good will of the late Charles
White. In 1872 J. C. Flagg, his son, became his partner
and about six years ago purchased the entire interest of,
his father, who then retired from business. A widow and
two sons survive him.
In the death of Elijah Jenkins, aged eighty years, who
passed away at the home of his son, Elijah Jenkins, Jr ,
in Auburn, Mass., on the 10th inst. , Worcester loses one of
the oldest carpet weavers that ever lived there. The deced-
ent was the first carpet weaver that ever went to Worcester,
and on his arrival there he entered the employ of George
Crompton. He also had the honor of weaving the first
Velvet carpet that was ever woven in this country.
Besides several sons here he has relatives in England.

UNDER GOOD HEADWAY.
JUDGE Brothers Carpet Company have their fall busi-
ness under good headway, and, as was to be expected,
their large and handsome assortment of new patterns in
all grades commands attention from buyers. The travel-
ing salesmen are now all out, and, while orders are not
large, the Judge Company are doubtless receiving a pro-
portionate share of the trade going. Buyers coming to
the market will have every opportunity to view the com-
plete lines in New York at the Judge Company's office in
the Hartford Building. Reference to their announcement
on page 23 will show that they produce Mortlake Tapes-
tries, a special, patented, high-class weave; Three Plys,
Standard Extra Supers, Terries, half and quarter wool
Unions, Medium Supers, Two and Three Ply Granites, 8,
9 and 10 Pair Cottons and 5-8 Ingrain stairs in all grades.
The operation of the large Harrison Mills, at Columbia
avenue and Blair street, Philadelphia, is in the hands of
the Messrs. James and William B. Judge, who have grown
up in the business under the admirable practical tuition
of the senior Messrs. Judge, now deceased. The trade
may rely upon receiving goods promptly and will find
them just as represented.

PACIFIC COAST AND FAR WEST NOTES.
The carpet trade is ver)' inactive. The past spring failed to
produce results hoped for, because a drought continued through
that season and struck a hard blow to business.
San Francisco, The dry spell was broken a few days ago by a
Cal. June 4. soaking rain, which, although coming late in
May, nevertheless saved the northern portion of
California from serious results. Crops are short in San Joaquin
and Sacramento Valleys, which means hard times for farmers and
other classes. The local houses are doing more or less in a general
way, but none of them is over-rushed, nor are they in danger of be-
ing so for some time to come. The shortage of grain crops and the
war are hardly conducive to brilliant trade results. This is about
the sum and substance of the situation at this writing.
Schlueter & Volberg report a fair trade in carpets and furnish-
ings.
W. & J. Sloane & Co. report general trade rather unsatisfactory,
but look for an improvement before many months have elapsed.
The Chadbourne Furniture Company at San Diego, Cal., has
purchased the stock of the San Diego Furniture and Carpet
Company.
The Chas. M. Plum & Co. Upholstery Company are experiencing
a good demand for better grades of carpets and furnishings. Mr.
Plum says that business has turned out fairly good this year,
Joseph Fredericks & Co. are furnishing throughout the elegant
new steamer St. Paul, just completed by the Union Iron Works in
this city for the Alaska trade. Quite a number of good sized orders
keep this house busy.
Coulter Brothers, the rattan furniture dealers, are making a rattan
casket, which will be thoroughly tested in a practical manner by a
local undertaking firm. The bottom will be of poplar. A crown-
ing cover will fit all around the top in a ledge, thus rendering it an
easy matter to remove it. The handles are to be of rattan, and will
be made either stationary or drop. The casket will be shaped like
the ordinary metallic article, but will be many times lighter and
easier to handle. For the present it will be used for transferring
bodies to the undertaking rooms, but the manufacturers believe that
in the course of a short time rattan caskets will be used for burial
purposes. Golden Gate.

AROUND AND ABOUT.
,OLLD you take up the very latest
idea? Then cover your bathroom,
walls, ceiling and floor, every
inch of it, with oil cloth. This is
a plan that has aroused much
enthusiasm, and the oil clothed
bathroom is now exceedingly cor-
rect. Oil cloth is less expensive
than tiling, and even easier to
keep clean. It is made nowadays
in so many patterns that every-
one's tastes can be suited, and,
though those that have never seen a bathroom decked in
this manner may not be inclined to think so, a bathroom
that from top to toe, as it were, is of oil cloth, is a very
artistic affair.
The oil cloth chosen should be of a pattern that closely
resembles tiling, and it is best to varnish it thoroughly.
One of the prettiest designs in the market — a design, by
the vs^ay, that is used in several well known New York
houses — is a white ground with a blue figure. The
border is of the " Wall of Troy " variety. Another good
pattern is of green and white.
7Tn English genius, who calls himself a shop starter or
boomer, describes his methods in a London paper as
follows! " I have been a shop-starter now for a decade,
and have got to be fairly well known in my business. I
have given the push-off to many hundreds of businesses.
Queer profession ? Well, I suppose it is, but I'm a neces-
sary quantity, judging by my engagements. How is it
done ? You must have the shop fitted attractively, and
see that it is on the right side of the road, and boom it
thoroughly. Nothing so important as having your shop
on the right side of the road, that is to say, the side on
which the most pedestrians pass. And that's the sunny
side. In streets running from north to south the east side
is the best, while those stretching east and west the north
side is the best. Many a capable business man has failed
for no other reason than that he has not paid proper atten-
tion to the question of the side of the road. A shop can-
not be too well lit; the brighter the light the greater the
attraction, and here is presented a curiosity in things
human, for when people see a brightly lighted shop they
will gather round it like moths, and very often won't move
away until their pockets are burnt. Everything in the
way of fittings should be made particularly attractive ;
neither glaring nor offensive to the eye, but just sufficient-
ly effective. The thing is to draw attention to the win-
dow, and prominence given to any other feature detracts
from that and is a mistake. After all, the window is the
main thing.
" There are many methods of calling attention to a
newly opened shop, some of them suitable in one neigh-
borhood and some in another. Not a bad spec, is the en-
gaging of a band to play on the opening night of, say, a
grocer's shop in a working district. It wouldn't do,
though, in a middle-class neighborhood. I pushed off
successfully in Nottingham a little while ago a grocer's
shop on these lines, and the band played for the first four
Saturdays at a cost of ;;{^10, but a good connection had
been built up before the fourth Saturday came around,
notwithstanding the comparative failure of one or two
other similar businesses in the neighborhood. I started a
business in Leeds once for a young firm, and got them to
give away a handsome dinner service worth four guineas
to the customer who presented at the end of the first
month the greatest number of checks, which were given
away with every article worth sixpence or more. It sent
the business up safely. But on one occasion the police in
another town interfered with this idea, claiming that it was
a lottery. That did more to advertise the business than
the service itself, the gift of which got through all right.
" A cheesemonger's I started in a similar way, only I
gave away six eggs with every pound of bacon for the first
week. It brought the people from every corner of the
district. In Blandford I opened a cigar and tobacco shop
for a young married couple, and got a connection together
for them by selling ounce packets of tobacco at half price
for the first week. An enterprising London drapery sales-
man took it into his head to open a country public, and he
commanded almost instantaneous success by giving away
half-ounce twists of tobacco with every glass of ale — my
suggestion — for a month. The second week he augmented
this gift with a pin cushion for the customer to take home
to his wife, which put the lady on good terms with her
husband and ' The Romping Kitling.' I've told you quite
enough. There's my card."
\A ANY retail dealers seem to be possessed with the danger-
ous and erroneous idea that incandescent electric
lamps, such as are used in stores, diffuse no heat, and may
therefore be placed near or in close contact to inflammable
fabrics without fear of igniting them. This is a great
mistake. As is well known, the carbon filament of the
lamp is a substance offering great resistance to the passage
of the current, and the products of this resistance are light
and heat. It is an instance of the translation of one form
of energy into another. It is not, however, so generally
known that the light produced is after all only a small
percentage of the energy thus manifested — some 5 or 6 per
cent, only at the most. It is true that the lamp when
working is not comparable with aflame or naked light, but
at the same time the heat evolved is such as may lead to
ignition, and several serious fires in stores have been
caused in this way.
I N buying an Oriental rug one can discriminate between
the imitation and genuine, not by the color or pattern,
which may be copied, but by a careful examination to see
if each stitch is knotted. If the stitch is knotted and it is
impossible to pull it out, the rug is genuine Turkish,
whether the warp is cotton or wool, but if one can pull the
stitch out it is imitation, no matter how closely color and
pattern follow the original. The manner of testing the
quality of the rug is as follows: A live coal is dropped on
the rug and allowed to burn a little. When it is removed,
a yellowish mark will be left. If this can be brushed off
with the fingers, leaving the original colors unaltered, it
is a sure proof of the genuineness of the rug. It is neces-
sary, however, for one to be a connoisseur in rugs in order
to be able to discriminate between the qualities of rugs of
various countries, and to understand the age of the rug

from the intensity of lustre. Some of the rugs which find
their way here have been damaged, but so skillfully re-
stored that to the eye of the uninitiated they seem in per-
fect condition. Many of these have been " cropped " to
remove signs of wear, which reduces not only the richness
and depth of the pile, but affects the durability of the rug
as well. Damaged spots are also frequently touched up
with water colors and a fine brush — a deception easily dis-
covered if the colors are wiped over with a soft cloth some-
what moistened.
T~HE rag carpet, after many years, has returned. It is
once again fairly popular, and the rags that for a
quarter of a century have been going to the ragman are now
being treasured up, since, if they are of wool, they are
almost worth their weight in gold. Why the rag carpet
ever did go out of style it is hard to determine, and its
reappearance is not difficult to understand. Properly
put together and made of a good assortment of rags,
it is exceedingly pretty, and withal easy to manufacture,
all the knack needed being the skill necessary to cut the
rags into strips, sew these together in lengths and wind
them into a ball. For a small sum the rag carpet weaver
does the rest.
Bathroom and study rugs are the chief uses of the rag
carpet of to-day, and it is not so much rag carpets, in fact,
as it is rag carpet rugs. The rag carpet rug is not large,
as a rule. Six feet by 3 would be quite an extraordinary
size. The idea is to have quite a number of them, and
these much smaller.
They clean easily and wear like iron. These facts es-
pecially commend them. Then, too, there is much socia-
bility in their making. A rag carpet party is a jovial
event, and a "function" that, long neglected, is coming
in again once more. The girls meet of an afternoon and
sew rags until 5 or 5:30. Then the men, especially asked
for this hour, begin to drift in, and there is afternoon tea.
It is the modernizing of the old time " sewing bee," and it
works marvelously well as an amusement.
TT CORRESPONDENT of a Western paper tells this story:
" In an Illinois city of about 20,000 I recently spent
a day. While there I called on an old friend who owns
the largest carpet store in the place. As I went in the
front door of his place of business I caught a glimpse of
my friend flying out the back door, and before I had
time to ask what it meant a well dressed woman came in,
and, stepping up to one of the clerks, inquired for my
friend. The clerk politely told her he was out, and that
he did not know when he would be back. The lady re-
marked that she would come again. She was hardly out-
side when the back door opened and my friend came in
and greeted me cordially. ' Well,' he laughed, ' I suppose
you would like to know what possessed me to run from a
woman. You see she isn't an ordinary woman, but an ad-
vertising solicitor for programmes for benefit perform-
ances, church sociables and that kind of things. She is
such an awful stayer that once she gets hold of you you're
a gone goose, and the only thing you can do is to fight for
a small space. She is a terror and no mistake. Why, '
he went on, ' not long ago a certain merchant here decided
that he would not be bullied into taking ads. by her any
longer, so the next time she came to him he flatly said no.
She was not a bit discouraged though. It was about 11
o'clock when she first saw him, and she stayed and talked
to him until 12. Then he started to go home to dinner,
and as she had her carriage (here she offered to make up
for the way she had bothered him by taking him home.
It was all in the game, however, for when they reached
his home, she got out and and announced her intention of
going in to see his wife. From her she managed to get an
invitation to dinner. She went back to the store with that
man. He was so mad he would hardly speak to her, and
finally in sheer desperation gave her an ad to get rid of
her. Now do you wonder I run when I see her coming?

SHOW WINDOW DISPLAYS.
AN inexpensive way to exhibit
goods on a revolving stand
through a frame is shown in Fig-
ures 1 and it of the illustrations
presented herewith. The first
shows the frame, which should be
on an easel. The second is the
stand in section. The window
should be trimmed on both sides
of the frame, so that from the
front the only parts seen are the
frame easel and the revolving
stand of goods just back of the
frame. The goods may carry
cards worded to suit the ideas of
the dealer
A display figure can often be
used with effect. I will refer to the use of a figure of a
man made mostly with balls of sewing twine and displayed
in the window with a lot of carpets. The body of the
figure was formed by four rows of half-pound balls of six-
ply philis. A fifth row, but smaller and without a ball in the
centre, made the neck and shoulders. The arms were
formed of half-pound balls, passed on an iron rod and
hooked on the upper
row of the body.
The legs were made
of three 1 pound and
four half-pound balls
on rods, the same
as the arms. For
the head a 2 pound
ball was used, with
hair and beard of
raffia combed fine
and pinned on the
ball. The nose and
ears were made by
cutting pieces of card
and covering them
with twine. For a cap an enameled bowl was used, and
for hands a pair of harvest gloves. It was seated in the
window on a pile of carpets and attracted much attention.
Figure 3 is a form of a sheep cut from thin boards.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view showing the board body (A).
The side which is to stand facing the window is built out
with burlap and straw, and some fleece wool bought at
the carpet mills is stuck to the burlap. The sheep thus
made is put in the win-
dow with finished car-
pet, and a sign put up
reading: "From the
raw to the finished
product."
The rug and drapery
buyers of New England
should make a point be-
fore placing their fall
orders, of inspecting the
large lines of W. T. Smith & Son on show at 611 Wash-
ington street, Boston, by W. H. Reid. A more than usual
number of new patterns have been added for the fall, and
the offerings in tapestry and chenille curtains and table
covers, lace curtains, Smyrna rugs and
carpets and Art Squares are such as will
interest any buyer. Particular attention is
called to the Royal Axminster Smyrna rugs,
and the trade who have handled :hem the
past season can testify to their quick selling
merits. The trade in the large sizes is
growing and dealers should give particular
attention to them, as they will find them
profitable to handle. Mr. Reid will cover
the New England trade thoroughly and should receive a
welcome wherever he goes.

ALL upholstery business can-
not be said to have opened
up as briskly as desired.
The well established mills,
however, have recorded very
fair orders on yard goods
and richly deserve same, as
their new offerings show a
big step forward in the pro-
duction of new fabrics and
advancement in designs
and colorings. In fact the
outlook is that ere long the
American makers will pro-
dvice every known fabric
used in the trade, and in
styles and prices that will
command the business.
The importers and manu-
facturers of Swiss, French,
and English lace curtains
are about opening up their season for retail buyers. The
offerings in Swiss goods are particularly notable for hand-
some new styles, and the trade in them promises to be
more extensive than ever, as every season proves the
capabilities of the Swiss manufacturers in bringing out
remarkably handsome effects at moderate prices.
The domestic manufacturers of lace curtains are also
opening their goods for fall retail buying, and, while the
demand for domestic laces'may not be so pressing as was
the case last fall, yet with the disappearance of the war
scare the domestic machinery will doubtless be fully
occupied.
The representatives of English and Scotch lace curtain
manufacturers say they are much encouraged with the
improvement in demand for their goods, and feel that they
yet have a standing in the American market. The gen-
eral report of buyers is that they need goods for fall, and
if they do not order at once they will be compelled to do
so later. However, we should judge the wise man to be
the one who anticipates his wants in time, and places
orders early enough to insure proper deliveries.
THE NEW DUTY ON SCOTCH HOLLANDS SUSTAINED.
r\UTY ON Scotch Hollands. — The trade have been waiting
impatiently a long time for a decision of the Board of
General Appraisers on the question of the duty on Scotch
hollands, and at last it has been made, the board on classi-
fication having given its ruling on the 2d inst. The case
before the board was the protest of the Pinney, Casse &
Lackey Company against the collector at New York on an
importation of King's hollands. The merchandise, accord-
ing to the official analysis of the Government chemist, con-
tains a trifle over 77 per cent, of cotton fibre and from 19
to 20 per cent, of starch, with a small portion of coloring
matter and alumina, iron oxide and silica.
The collector classified the article under paragraph 311,
tariff act of 1897, which provides for "cotton cloth,
filled or coated," 3 cents per square yard and 20 per cent,
ad valorem. The importers claimed under the countable
clauses, paragraphs 304 to 309, inclusive, of the same act,
and asserted that the cloth is neither filled nor coated, but
simply starched. The single question, the board say, was
whether the goods are really "filled." At the outset it
may be noted that the provisions in paragraph 311
for "cotton cloth, filled or coated," is new, nothing
like it appearing in previous tariffs. The expressior;
The Upholstery Trade Review.
"filled or coated," is not a commercial term, but is rather
used techically in a manufacturing sense.
Counsel argued at some length as to the precise mean-
ing of the word "fill" in this connection, and witnesses
testified concerning it. " It seems to imply," say the
board, " simply the use of some substance to put into or
stop up the pores or interstices of the cloth. The real
point of contention was whether starch alone constitutes a
filling ; for, from the above analysis, it will be seen that
there is no other substance in these goods that could be so
regarded." From a consideration of the entire evidence
the board found that the merchandise was cotton cloth,
filled, and held that the goods were properly classified by
the collector under paragraph 311. The protest was there-
fore overruled.
In a dissenting opinion. General Appraiser George C.
Tichenor argued that while the majority of the board
found that the word " filled " is not a commercial term it
should therefore be taken in its ordinary and popular sig-
nification. He contended, from the board's recent de-
cision in a similar case, that the treatment to which the
cloth here in question had been subjected "completely
filled the interstices between the threads of the fabric and
rendered it opaque," and that " they are filled, the inter-
stices between the threads being effectually closed or
filled." The evidence in these cases shows that there are
window shade cloths thus filled, and that the "filling"
process is that method. The Scotch hollands in the
case, he claims, are not of this character. He held that
the evidence, furthermore, abundantly showed that there
are several other varieties of cotton cloths well known in
commerce, notably bookbinders' cloth and imitation vel-
lum, the interstices between the threads of which are
actually filled with glue, china clay, white lead, plaster of
paris, glauber salts, glucose and other substances than
starch.
In this view Appraiser Tichenor is constrained to dis-
sent from the conclusions of his colleagues in these cases
and is of the opinion that the protests should be sustained.
pvuTY ON Mercerized Fabrics. — In the case of Converse,
Stanton & CuUen against the Collector of Customs at
New York the question involved was the rate of duty to
be charged on certain mercerized cotton goods.
The goods were returned by the appraiser as colored
cotton cloths, (1) exceeding 100 and not exceeding 150
threads to the square inch and exceeding 4 and not exceed-
ing 6 square yards to the pound, (2) exceeding 150 and
not exceeding 200 threads to the square inch, valued at over
12>^ cents per square yard, and (3) exceeding 200 and not
exceeding 300 threads to the square inch and exceeding
3^ square yards to the pound. They were accordingly
assessed with duty at 3^ cents per square yard, 40 per
cent, ad valorem and at 7 cents per square yard, respec-
tively, under the provisions of paragraphs 306, 307 and
308, act of July 24, 1897; but the importers claimed that
the goods were dutiable "at the rates provided for
unbleached cottons by Schedule I."
The Board of General Appraisers decided in favor of
the Collector on the following grounds ;
(1) That the goods in question are not such as were known in
trade and commerce of the United States on July 24, 1897, and prior
thereto as unbleached or gray cotton cloths, but have been advanced
therefrom by an expensive and delicate process, known as " mer-
cerizing," involvini^ the use of special machinery and skilled labor,
whereby their appearance has been materially changed and im-
proved, their value considerably advanced and their commercial
designation changed to that of sateens or mercerized cotton goods.
(2) That these goods are not in technical or commercial sense
bleached or dyed, nor have they been colored by the direct use of
tinctorial material, but the warp threads thereof have undergone a
process known as " mercerizing," consisting of a bath in caustic soda
lye of certain strength depending upon temperature and subjection
to severe tension, which straightens and strengthens the fibres, and
imparts a silk-like lustre thereto, and also develops the coloring
matter inherent in the fibre in such degree as to change and increase
the color of the fabric from that of the unbleached or gray cotton
cloths of commerce.
(3) That these goods have been advanced one stage in the process
of dyeing, and the removal of the fine nap or fluff from the warp,
incident to " mercerizing," is in' a measure equivalent to the opera-
tion of singeing in the process of bleaching cotton fabrics.
It is well known that the cardinal idea which pervades the present
tariif act is that of protection to American industry. This idea is
nowhere more consistently adhered to than in the respective para-
graphs and provisions relating to cotton cloths, the rates of duty
thereon being scientifically adjusted according to condition or
amount of labor and expense involved in the several stages of their
treatment as commercial articles. Thus (1) "in the gray," or rough
and unbleached state as they come from the loom, they are subject
to the lowest duties, (2) when bleached (the second stage toward
completion) the rates are proportionally increased and (3) when
they have reached the last stage by being "dyed, colored, stained,
painted or printed" the highest rate is imposed.
It is obvious from this careful adjustment of rates of duty and
from the elaborate phraseology employed that Congress intended
to exclude from the first category all cotton cloths advanced beyond
the unbleached or gray state of any process of manufacture what-
ever. Mercerized cotton cloths, being thus necessarily excluded
from the first class, must be included in one of the other classes,
unless specifically excluded therefrom by the phraseology employed.
In view of the theory and policy of the tariff^ act, we are of the
opinion that a reasonable interpretation of the language carries
these goods to the higher classification, to wit, "Cotton cloths dyed,
colored, stained, painted or printed." A contrary interpretation
would make a portion of this language redundant, superfluous and
meaningless.
\ DECISION of the Board of Appraisers which has been
held back since May 18 was announced on the 10th
inst It was on the protest of Arnold, Constable & Co.
against the Collector at New York on a consignment of
merchandise consisting of cotton ami ramie, and cotton
and flax velours, which was assessed for duty at 60 per
cent, ad valorem under paragraph 342 of the Tariff Act of
July 24, 1897, as pile fabrics of flax, but was claimed to be
dutiable at 47 J^ per cent, ad valorem under paragraph 315
of the same act. The protest was overruled as to pattern
No. 7773, Ex. 1, protest 27058F, and as to pattern No.
13544, Ex. 1, protest 27058F, but was sustained as to the
merchandise covered by Ex. 1, protest 25995F, namely,
the goods on invoice 9394, described as " Vellours Murillo,"
&c , and returned as "flax plush " 60 per cent. The
board's judgment in this case was based on an analysis
made by the United States, chemist at the appraisers'
stores in New York. From this the board found that in
the first two instances flax is the chief component, while in
the last ramie is such component.

Oscar E. A. Wiessner's metallic bedstead plant on Seventh
and Eighth streets, between Second and Third avenues,
Brooklyn, was damaged by fire on June 7. Loss between
$30,000 and $40,000; insured.
The American Pegamoid Company has moved its
general offices from 11 Broadway to the New York Life
Insurance Building, 346 Broadway, where the company
occupies seven large offices on the twelfth floor.
Ferguson Brothers are busily engaged in finishing
novelties for the fall season of 1898. We cannot disclose
the particulars, but will not betray the confidence reposed
in us if we state that the line will show many surprisingly
attractive and salable conceits.
Business progresses very satisfactorily at the show-
rooms of J. E. Quaintance, 106 Spring street, during that
gentleman's absence in Europe, and it is found a matter of
great difficulty to fill the demands for Brown's well-known
Madras curtains and curtain goods, which are represented
here by the firm.
B. Fitch & Co., 27 West Forty-second street, will
probably resume business this week, as arrangements for
a satisfactory settlement of the firm's indebtedness are
rapidly being arranged, by which all claims under $50 will
be paid on an 80 per cent, basis in two and four months,
and all over that in full by eight notes due ninety days
apart.
Lawson, Lynam & Co., importers of laces, &c., No.
466 Broadway, have concluded toliquidate and retire from
business. Theliabilitiesof the firm are not definitely known,
as all the merchandise liabilities are in Europe, where their
purchases were made. The business was established many
years ago by Lawson Brothers at Nottingham, England,
They established a branch in this city in 1888 and were
shortly afterward succeeded by Lawson, Lynam & Co.
On January 1, 1893, they claimed a capital of $135,000,
but since then it has been materially reduced and in April
last was placed at $75,000. This firm have no connection
with Lawson Brothers, lace curtain importers, 55 and 57
White street. New York.
William C. M. Pyke, Allan Williams and John M.
Carey, comprising the firm of Pyke, Williams & Co.,
dealers in dry goods, rugs and curtains at 2807 and 2809
Third avenue, corner of 148th street, made an assign-
ment on June 1 to Herman Mayer, giving preferences of
$4,491 to the following creditors: West Brothers, $1,187;
Lachman, Morgenthau & Goldsmith, $1,010, and the H.
B. Claflin Company, $2,294. The business was started in
1885 by West & Pyke, at 157 West 125th street. They
were succeeded by Pyke & Williams in July, 1891. The
business was removed to 332 to 236 West 125th street,
where it was continued until May 1 of this year, when the
firm removed to its present location. They were under a
heavy rent on 125th street and moved to 148th street to
obtain a lower rent, but the new location did not prove as
good a one as anticipated. The liabilities are reported to
be about $25,000.
STEAD & MILLER.
THE new line of Stead & Miller for the fall trade is on
view at the mills. Fourth and Cambria streets
Philadelphia; at the New York salesroom, 115 Worth
street, and at the Chicago office, 704 Champlain Building.
Stead & Miller rank among the most experienced and
skillful manufacturers of upholstery and drapery fabrics,
curtains, table covers, &c., and their new line has made a
highly favorable impression on all buyers who have seen
the samples. It includes a very choice and extensive
range of new and standard i)atterns in tapestry curtains
and covers, damasks, Bagdads, chenille curtains and
covers, &c. ; upholstery and drapery goods by the yard.
One of the entirely new features is a line of Oriental
striped curtains which are offered at a very moderate price
and are certain to find a large demand.
Buyers are advised to see Stead & Miller's offerings as
soon as possible.
NEUBURGER, HEINE & CO.'S FALL LINES.
THE complete fall samples of Neuburger, Heine & Co. 's
lace curtains, piece goods and bed sets are now on
view at their salesrooms, 466 Broome street, New York.
The trade will find that this leading lace curtain house
have strongly maintained their reputation as producers of
thorough novelties in all grades of curtains offered. Du-
ring the past year and a half especially, buyers have found
their lines unsurpassed for good selling and exclusive
styles and right values, and their great resources for ob-
taining these attractions are even better demonstrated in
the fall lines now offered than ever before. Their collec-
tion of Irish points. Tambour muslins, Brussels, exclusive
novelties, dotted frilled muslin, Irish point bed sets and
yard goods is alone a sufficient inducement for any buyer
to view their lines. They show a complete assortment in
vestibule curtains in 12, 18, 30 and 36 inch widths. The
traveling men will be on the road with samples in due
season, and buyers visiting New York will find it advan-
tageous to call at their warerooms.
The Upholstery Trade Review.
W have the draw-
ing room done up this
year," said my wife.
"I'll tell you
what we'll do, Jack:
we'll go out shop-
ping together to-mor-
row. The January
sales are still on, and
you can help lue
choose the things at
Frampton's.
• " My dear," I said,
firmly, "I shall be
very glad for you
to have your drawing
room done up,
but" — still more
firmly — "I cannot
possibly come with
you. I "
"Oh, Jack, do
come," interrupted my
wife ; ' ' you have
such excellent taste,
and " — coaxingly —
"you are so clever,
and will be such a
help."
Of course I went,
but I had my misgiv-
ings before we
started. I used to
wonder why a man who goes shopping with a woman
always looks such a complete fool, but I know now, for I
once went with my wife to Liberty's to choose a wall paper.
It took us three-quarters of an hour of earnest contro-
versy to decide. I wanted green; she insisted upon blue.
Needless to say, we bought the blue ! Of course, I am
master in own house as a rule, but I gave way on this
occasion because she said: " Now, do leave it to me. you
dear old silly, and go outside and smoke." However de-
lightful it may be to be called a " dear old silly " at home,
I don't like it before seven grinning shopmen, so I went
outside, but I believe I swore. I felt sure I should prob-
ably be made a fool of over this drawing room furniture
business, although I could not as yet conceive in what
way — but I went.
We stopped at several shops on our way to Frampton's,
and I noticed my wife at nearly every shop bought some-
thing quite different from what she had gone in to buy.
I was a little astonished at this, as I had often heard her
say the only way not to waste money at a sale is to know
what you want before you start — an excellent maxim. I
only wish she had followed it.
"I wish to see some brocade for covering furniture,"
said my wife to the shopwalker at Frampton's.
He took us through a long room hung at either end
with hideous bamboo beaded curtains.
"Wouldn't you like one of these for the morning
room," whispered my wife. " They are so nice in
the summer with the window open. Shall I order one?"
"No, thank you, my dear," I replied, "nor any wax
flowers under a glass case."
My wife gave me a scathing glance, but said nothing.
In the meantime a very stately gentleman was laying out
for our inspection endless rolls of silk. His manner was
a little stiff and condescending at first, but my wife soon
took the starch out of him.
" Isn't that lovely," she whispered to me, " but it's too
thin. It might almost do for a tea gown," she continued
meditatively, and held it up against her cheek. How
does it suit me, Jack ?"
"Well, I think there's too much green in it," I said;
" it makes you look a little "
"Oh, never mind," she interrupted, hastily putting it
down. " I don't much care about it." She carefully ex-
amined and commented on different silks; then she sud-
denly remembered that she had not brought the pattern
of the wall paper the silk had to match, so she told the
disgusted commercial Lord Chamberlain who was attend-
ing tons that she "must come again" about the furniture!
She said she would choose the curtains now, as she knew
quite well the color she wanted, so he brightened up
again. After looking at several dozens of silk brocades
and velvets, she said she felt worn out, and stopped for
tea in the Japanese room. Then, like a giantess re-
freshed, she returned to the attack. After half an hour or
so I whispered in despair: "It is 7 o'clock, Elsie."
"Good gracious!" said my wife, " do make haste then,
Jack. There — this one will do; now, dear, where are the
measurements ?"
There was a moment's blank silence, and I, feeling as
though I were back at school and about to get into a jolly
good row, said blankly: " What measurements ?"
My wife looked incredulously at me. "You don't
mean to say you never measured the window. Jack ?"
I felt strongly tempted to the window, but I
couldn't, of course, swear at my wife in a shop, so I put
it off, and merely said: " No, I hadn't."
She turned to the shopman. " My husband hasn't
brought the measurements," she said, with cold dignity,
"so we cannot get the curtains to-day; give me some
patterns, please."
It was past closing time, and we left by the back door —
in fact, we were practically swept out with straw. We
drove home in almost complete silence.
" What a pity, isn't it ?" sighed my wife, but I did not
answer her. I felt it was not the time of day when I
could reply with my usual courtesy.
She came down to dinner looking fresh. It is extraor-
dinary the amount of real physical labor a small, fragile
woman can get through without turning a hair! As I sat
with my tired head leaning on my hand, my brain still in
a whirl, she said: "What a jolly day we've had. Jack,
haven't we ?"
"Very jolly, indeed," I answered abstractedly, for 1
was doing sums, and I had just reckoned up that my
"jolly day" had cost me, including the guinea toward
the hat, lunch and the cabs, ;£3 17s. 5d.
" Let't have some champagne. Jack, in honor of my
new hat." " We will, dear," I answered, cheerfully. " It
will be a nice cheap finish to a nice cheap day!" — Ex.
The tJpiiOLSTERY Trade Review.
A MODEL AMERICAN LACE CURTAIN PLANT.
As it now stands the lace curtain plant of T I. Birkin &
Co., Chester, Pa., has an equipment of machinery
thoroughly modernized and representing the latest and
best improvements in curtain manufacture. The above,
together with their increased production, places Birkin &
Co. in a position to serve the trade in the manner aimed
at since they established a plant on this side.
Buyers may place orders for fall with absolute confi-
dence in getting deliveries as promised, and will also
obtain the best made and finished goods in each grade.
The great range of styles and the fact that Birkin &
Co. produce all qualities from six point np to the very
finest machine curtains make their line of the utmost
importance.
Buyers may now view the new fall styles through the
sole selling agents, J. A. Brittain & Co., 438 Broadway,
New York.
An old-fashioned Shaker, or Boston cane seated rocker,
is made into an attractive piece of furniture by painting
it with forest green enamel. Fit a flat cushion covered
with gay chintz and tie an oblong one of the same sort by
tapes to the back. A short box-plaited valance that clears
the floor by four inches all around and is put on with
brass-headed nails adds to the Colonial effect.
Wm, G. Grange, who recently purchased the Globe
Tapestry Mills at Ninth and Dauphin streets, Philadel-
phia, reports a satisfactory start of the fall season in his
upholstery and drapery fabrics, curtains, table covers and
couch covers. He is making a very popular and attractive
line of goods, which can be profitably handled in any de-
partment and which contains features exclusive to his line.
The goods are shown to the trade by Ryan & McGahan,
the selling agents, 85 Leonard street. New York.
Capt. Joseph Fisher, a former alderman and one of the
best known citizens of Albany, died on Ma}' 28 of heart
failure. Captain Fisher was born in 1840. At sixteen
he was apprenticed to the firm of Senrick & Co., furniture
dealers, to learn the upholstery trade. After mastering
his trade he launched forth for himself on Washington
avenue as a furniture dealer and upholsterer. Here he
did a prosperous business until the building which he
occupied was acquired for the Capitol site. After a brief
respite from business he bought an old established liquor
business.
W. E. Rosenthal, selling agent for Hyndman& Moore's
Novelty Derby curtains and chenille curtains and covers,
the Matred Mills lines of Oriental curtains and fabrics and
sole Western selling agent for the Hensel Silk Manufac-
turing Company's upholstery and drapery trimmings, rope
portieres, &c , has his new lines for the fall trade on view
at his salesrooms, 458 Broadway, New York, and at the
Monadnock Building, Chicago, and No. 304 North Eighth
street, St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Rosenthal is now visiting the
trade in the West and has every reason to be satisfied
with the verdict of buyers on his offerings. He will return
to New York early in July, and in the meantime the
complete lines are on view at his salesrooms as stated.
A NEW LINE OF PRINTED VELVETS.
A HANDSOME new line of printed Velvets is shown by
Chas B. Young & Co., Hartford Building, New
York. The make and finish of the goods are up to the
best standard, while the patterns and colorings are notable
examples of skillful and perfect printing. The trade will
doubtless be glad to learn that they can obtain printed
Velvets from this popular selling agency.
FLETCHER & CO.'S. LACE CURTAINS.
WH. Fletcher & Co.'s offerings for the fall trade
. are in full keeping with their especially conspicu-
ous position in the lace curtain trade. They show new
goods in all lines on hand for immediate delivery, and in
extent, variety and attractiveness their offerings excel all
their efforts for previous seasons. The lines are shown at
their New York headquarters, 345 and 347 Broadway, and
at 30 Kingston street, Boston, and 1200 Chestnut street,
Philadelphia.
F. M. Van Blaricom shows at his salesroom, 415 Broad-
way, New York, very attractive lines of curtain fluting,
tamboured muslins, Irish point novelties, fish net, muslin
and bobbinet ruffled curtains, tapestry curcains, piece
goods, &c. The line of bobbinets comprises every grade
from the cheapest to the best, and also goods by the yard.
A line of muslin curtains with fluted edge is likely to be in
large demand, and flutings are also shown. Mr. Van
Blaricom can interest strongly every dealer who handles
such goods.
The diamond bar effect has crept from gowns to cush-
ions. It is cari'ied out in numberless ways, from lace,
inserting and silk — an all too frail combination for pillow
wear, it may be interpolated — to the more sensible white
cotton one stitched on a plain colored denim in the dia-
mond shaped squares. A pillow of the latter has a
gathered ruche of the denim, which is put on with braid.
Another dress accessory of the season which has got into
fancy work is the ruffling of very narrow ribbon. This
edges dainty organdie bureau covers and has even been
seen around dimity valance for the brass bedstead.
The latest idea in fleeting fancies is the introduction
of Liberty's silk gauze fussily crimped, somewhat in the
manner of the well-known tissue paper, but less formal
and far more crumpled, sheeny and substantial looking,
hence much more expensive. Its raised, uneven appear-
ance answers exactly to the taste of the day for all light
materials arranged in bouillonnes or gauged in a variety of
styles. This new puckered fabric is deftly manipulated
into entire tea cosies, cornet wall pockets provided with
pincushions and sachets of every size and shape, whether
to hold veils, handkerchiefs or nightgowns. It is obtain-
able in beautiful art shades, often softly tinted. The
trimming chiefly consists of large flowers, conspicuous
among which is the pert poppy, with bud and foliage
complete. In some cases, too, frills are used as wavy
borders. For instance, along a table runner in ambre red
gauze flutters a small double flounce of the same texture
in a single color With the plain material, pure white or
delicate pink, are also fashioned artificial flowers for lamp
shades, quaint flower vases and aesthetic costumes.

OLDHAM MILLS OFFERINGS.
^-^FFEEENCE was recently made by us
to the remarkable attractiveness
of the Unes of the Oldham
Mills shown by W. & J. Sloane
for the fall trade, and the lib-
eral orders received to date
show that this fact has been
promptly recognized by buyers.
The offerings comprise spe-
cialties in wool, silk and cotton
tapestries, armures and drapery
goods, fine damasks, &c. A
notable feature is a choice line
of all silk tapestries in thor-
oughly French styles, and the lines of wool and cotton
tapestries comprise an extraordinary variety of original
artistic effects. Manager Smith is very well satisfied with
the reception his goods have met, and notes a growing de-
mand for the better grades of fabrics.
TRAVERSING CURTAIN POLES.
THE Universal curtain pole is to be brought out in all
qualities of brass covered poles. It is also made in
wood poles with metal tracks. The success of this pole,
which was put upon the market last year, has been such
as to tax the manufacturing facilities of the Rome Brass
and Copper Company, the manufacturers. Another new
feature to be shortly introduced is the production of the
Universal pole in tubing of high quality for the fine trade,
and also in the lower priced qualities for the general
trade. The illustration below shows various traverse
rings which have been upon the market during several
years past and also the new Universal pole, which very
clearly illustrates the different methods of traversing poles
and the distinction between these methods and the device
of the Universal pole. Any dealer who has not seen a
sample of this pole will be supplied with one by address-
ing the Rome Brass and Copper Company, Rome, N. Y.
J. A. BRITTAIN & CO.
As American agents for the two great lace curtain firms,
T. I. Birkin & Son and Sturzenegger & Tanner,
the house of J. A. Brittain & Co. has exceptional claims
to the attention of the trade, and
its offerings for the fall season
are in full keeping with this fact.
T. I. Birkin & Co. are very
extensive and successful manu-
facturers of Nottingham lace
curtains, nets and bed sets, with
large factories at Chester, Pa. ;
Nottingham, England; Glasgow,
Scotland, and Oelsnitz, Saxony.
Sturzenegger & Tanner, of St.
Gall, Switzerland, are especially
prominent as manufacturers of
Swiss points, Brussels, Tambours,
Renaissance, Arabian points and
muslin curtains and sash goods
by the yard and in pairs to match.
With the combined offerings of
these two great concerns in its
salesrooms the house o.f J. A.
Brittain & Co. is obviously in a position to present re-
markably strong attractions to every buyer. The firm
regards its present offerings as the most extensive and
attractive ever made by it, and the lines have already
found prompt and wide appreciation in the trade.
They are on view at the New York salesrooms, 434 to
438 Broadway; at the mill, Chester, Pa.; by Geo. E.
Rehm, American Express Building, Chicago, and by W.
Mackie, Flood Building, San Francisco.
\ COUNTRY house bedroom looks very English when fitted
with cretonne draperies. These include short, straight
curtains at the windows attached by rings to slender poles,
so that they will slip easily back and forth. Spreads for
the twin brass bedsteads that are also a necessity for the
English aspect are of the same cretonne, covering pillow

and hanging, just clearing the floor at the sides. The
couch or window seat is also fitted out in the same cre-
tonne; a little writing table is drawn up at one side of the
fireplace and the dressing table with one or two low chairs
finishes the room. Such an apartment had the steam heat
arrangement concealed for the summer under a long, low
cretonne covered seat. This was fitted on a frame and
set over the pipe coils in such a way that they were not

R OTH the wild and cultivated pineapple yields fibre which,
when spun, surpasses in strength, fineness and lustre
that obtained from flax. It can be employed as a substi-
tute for silk, and as a material for mixing with wool or
cotton It is also useful for cordage, textile fabrics, sew-
iwg silk or twist, laces, &c. In China it is used as fabrics
for clothing for agriculturists, and is in request in India as
material for stringing necklaces. It produces the cele-
brated pine cloth of the Philippine Islands. It is remark-
ably durable, unaffected by water, and is white, soft, silky,
flexible and long in staple. Samples cleaned, without
washing, in certain Government experiments in Florida in
1892, when twisted to the size of binding twine, showed a
breakage strain of 150 pounds.
The Philadelphia Tapestry Mills present, as usual, a
strong line of upholstery fabrics. The pattern and color-

before by this popular concern, and that is saying a great
deal. As leaders of style they remain unmoved.
\A ANiLA hemp is the fibre of a species of banana (Musa
textilis) which thrives only in certain localities, where
it is cultivated by the natives.
The fibre is still produced in
the old native way, by scraping
the leaves with a peculiar
knife, which requires expert
handling. Numberless contriv-
ances to supersede this
simple process have been tried
and patented, but without
success. The native way is
still the best, and it produces a
fine fibre of which thread is
spun and cloth woven that ex-
cels the best Tussore silk.

duty is already prepared, and may be seen draped at the
front of an empty storeroom at 147 Fulton street. New

It is 120 feet in length and 43^/3 feet in width, and it is
believed that it breaks the record for size. It is so big
that special bunting was made for it in Boston. The
bunting measured 42 inches across in the rough. Made
up in the flag, allowing for seams, each stripe measures
40 inches. It took a full piece of 40 yards for each stripe,
except where they run into the jack. The jack measures
40 feet in length and covers the space of seven stripes.
The stars are not very large. From point to point each
star measures 14 inches. They are arranged in alternating
rows of seven and eight, according to army regulations.
The flag cost $290. Big as it is it can be packed in a large
traveling trunk, and will not weigh more than 200 or 250
pounds.

BUNTING FOR FLAGS AND DECORATIONS.
THE bunting used for American flags and in many other
ways for interior or exterior decorations is sold in
pieces of 40 yards length, a case including fifty pieces. It
is manufactured in widths of 18, 24 and 36 inches, though
the first two widths are the ones almost entirely in
demand. It is made in red, white, blue, yellow, black
and green. These colors must be fast; the goods must be
of certain tensile strength to suit the demands of the
Government, although inferior grades are sold for private
use. The standard American flag is made from the finest
" Royal " bunting, besides which are qualities known as
the "Anchor" and the "Signal," also others of minor
importance.
The flag in use in the army is known as the " Parade
Flag," and is 6x6J^ feet, being made in this manner in
order not to interfere with the walking of the standard
bearer. The " Garrison" flag, the largest one in use by
the navy, is 20x36 feet. The standard American flag con-
sists of thirteen stripes sewed together by machines with
what is known as a lapped seam. What is known as the
" Union " or field occupies the upper left hand corner, and
is the width of seven of the stripes, six
remaining below. In the standard flag
to-day there are forty-five stars,
arranged either in six rows, the first,
third and fifth of which contain eight
stars, the alternating rows having seven ;
orelse five rows, each containing nine
stars. The latter method, however, is
not in such general use as the former.
The method of sewing these stars to
the flag is an interesting one. A special
machine known as the " Zigzag
Sewing Machine " is used for this
purpose. This machine makes a stitch
around the corners of the star, which " old
is zigzag in character, producing in
the centre of the star a pentagon, the
stitch connecting alternate points. There are in reality
ninety stars, one star backing up a similar one on the
opposite side of the cloth, the two being so nicely adjusted
that when the flag is finished they appear to be but a
single star. In some cases this is done by cutting out
stars by a die, while either square or circular patches are
sewed on the reverse side, and after the stitching is finished
the patches are trimmed to the edge of the stitching, but
this is not done in the most particular work and is not so
economical. In some flags the blue bunting is itself cut
out in the shape of the star, and the white cloth, which in
all cases is bleached muslin, is inserted, the white being
stitched to the edge of the blue. Very few flags of this
character, however, appear to-day. Three or four years
ago a company obtained a patent on a process by which
the stars were bleached in the piece. These were known
as the " clamp die" flags. This process, however, was
abandoned, and to-day all stars on bunting flags are sewed
on. The cutting is done in very exact manner, the stripes
being cut out by a long handled knife of remarkably keen
edge, the width of each stripe, of course, being in pro-
portion to the size of the flag. A metal die of exact
proportions is used for the stars and the cloth under it
of various thicknesses is cut with a knife or shears.
After the body of the flag is completed the border on
the left-hand side is sewed on and the grummets or staples
through which the halyards run are stamped in by means
of a die
Of course, the Government is the largest buyer of bunt-
ing, especially in times such as the present. Very few
flags are manufactured for the Government outside of its
own workshops. Navy yards and arsenals are particularly
busy just at the present time, as the innumerable signal
flags for secret code service must be prepared by Govern-
ment workmen in a remarkably short space of time. No
outsider is allowed to work on these flags, as the signals
which they typify, are known only to Government officials.
It has been necessary of late to call for bids on certain
flags for the army, and these have been made by one or
two manufacturers, but this is not the general rule, as the
force in the employ of the Government is usually able to
supply all demands There is also a large demand for
flags of all nations for decorative purposes, pendants,
streamers, private ensigns, &c., which at the present time
is flooding the sail and flag makers. There is also a
demand for railroadsfor signal flags
which consume a large quantity of
bunting every year, perhaps more than
many realize. Black bunting is used
as a drapery for buildings in times of
public mourning.
Besides the bunting flag large num-
bers of cheaper grades are made of
cotton, the design being stamped or
printed on the cloth. We understand
that a large order for print cloths has
been placed of late for use in the
manufacture of flags. This may be
an outlet for a considerable yardage
RY." of fabrics which otherwise will be and
are at the present time drugs on the
market. Of course, the more expensive
silk flag, too, is in demand, but its cost prohibits it from
very general use. Should present conditions continue any
great length of time it is a question how the demand
will be supplied. It may be possible that some mills
will find it expedient to commence the manufacture of
bunting, on which they may be able to obtain a very good
profit, compared with the prices on many other qualities
of cotton goods.
NOVELTIES IN COMBINATION FURNITURE.
n^HE first of our sketches presented herewith represents
a combination of two articles whose several purposes,
so far as we are aware, have never before been served in
one and the same piece of furniture. There are some fur-
nishing accessories which, though practically indispensable
at times, are not always required, and during their periods
of desuetude they are not infrequently greatly in the
way. Among these comes the folding draught screen.
In winter time, when biting winds find a passage through
every crack and crevice, its services are gladly accepted,
and come as a boon and a blessing to us chilly mortals.
But with the return of warm weather its excuse for
existence disappears for the time being, and it is folded
up to be stored in some upper room, or else occupies
valuable space in the apartment, where its protection is
no longer required, wnich might be utilized to greater
advantage. Of course some of the painted and lacquered
leather screens on the market to-day are acceptable as
decorative features, quite apart from utilitarian considera-
tions; but this cannot be said of all of them, and it is,
therefore, not unreasonable to try to see if something
cannot be done with this welcome accompaniment of
winter to give it a status at those seasons when, instead
of keeping draughts out, we take advantage of all we can,
and long for more.
Here, then, in Fig. 1 are the details of an idea for doing
this which, from an inventive point of view, will, we are
sure, commend itself for its ingenuity, while, as far as
novelty is concerned, it is unquestionably in keeping
with the very latest ideas current in the domain of fancy
furniture. In the first place, we have a four- fold screen
of simple but tasteful design, the construction of which
is "as easy as ABC." The
frame, which might be of ma-
hogany, is a perfectly straight-
forward job, and includes no
ornamental details of an elaborate or costly character.
In the illustrations the small, long panels of the upper
part are shown filled with gilt-leaded stained glass, which
would be most effective in the actual thing, but simple
spindles or a decorative fret could be substituted for the
glass if considerations of price rendered that course expe-
dient. The two large inner panels are filled with some
textile fabric — silk, tapestry, cretonne, printed velveteen,
or just whatever else might best accord with the fancy of
the maker or the customer; but the two outer leaves are
treated in a manner somewhat different. The size of the
panels is reduced ; they are kept to the upper part, and
the spaces beneath are filled by small panels and spindles
in such a manner as to give an air of lightness to the com-
plete structure. The upper panels of these side wings,
however, differ from their larger companions in the centre,
inasmuch as that they are of solid wood This may, at the
first glance, appear to be quite unnecessary, but its justi-
fication will presently appear. So far so good ; our screen,
so arranged, would give no one the impression that it was
anything more than it appeared to be, and as affording
protection from draughts or from the fire leaves little to
be desired. But there is still more to come.
The solid side panels, already referred to, are made
quite distinct from the main structure, and, instead of
being paneled in, in the ordinary way, are kept in their
respective framework by two strong brass pegs or pivots,
working in the frame, near the bottom of the panel, and
also by catches at the top. We will imagine, now, that
the screen is arranged with the two centre leaves in line
with one another, and the end ones standing out at right
angles with them. This being so, it will be noticed that
a couple of small but strong brackets project, at about
table height, from the two centre uprights of the frame,
and they are to be made to play an important part in the
conversion. By releasing the catches at the top, the upper
side panels can be made to fall down as shown, and
brought to rest on the brackets just mentioned. As a
The Upholstery Trade Review.
result of this operation the screen has abdicated in favor
of a dainty piece of furniture of novel form, upon which
all manner of knick-knacks might be displayed to the best
possible advantage, constituting a side table of so taking a
description that it would be heartily welcomed in many
a home, at all events where ' matters of furnishing were
left to the discretion of members of the "fair sex." As
a sort of decorative altar for the "afternoon tea" service
it would have many claims to admiration, and in the eyes
of those to whom the traditional drawing room cabinet is
not an absolutely indispensable feature might even be
considered worthy to take the place of that somewhat
overdone receptacle for beveled plates, brackets and
spindles.
Fig. 3 gives us another contrivance which may seem to
some to err in the direction of carrying ingenious com-
bination too far, but others might view it in a very differ-
ent light. It is really a china cabinet, work table and
chair in one, and fulfills the requirements of all equally
well. An examination of the ilhistrations will m.ake clear
that it is made in two parts, one of which is a work table,
with well, properly fitted ; a drawer, and a handy little
sliding shelf, upon which the sempstress might rest her
cup of afternoon tea with comfort without it in any waj'
interfering with the accessories of the needle. The re-
maining half of the structure has a double part to play,
and whether " standing on its head or its heels " — to use a
figure of speech — is equally useful. Taken separately,
and resting on the four turned legs, it is a work chair,
with upholstered seat, comparatively roomy and comfort-
able. Special care, however, is devoted to the design and
finish of the under part. The seat is polished underneath ;
every part is perfectly finished, and between the legs, at
the sides and back, run a row of turned spindles, giving
the article a finished appearance. There is evidence of
some ulterior motive in the small brass sockets on the front
legs, near the seat, but otherwise there is nothing unusual
in the chair to differentiate it from many on view in scores
of showrooms at the present time. Having made these
two halves, completing each as if it had no relation with
the other save in regard to sizes, which must be observed
with the most scrupulous care, they are placed side by
side, and the top of the right arm of the chair is strongly
hinged to the top of the work table, bringing about the
combination of our work table and chair "as advertised."
But the promise of the china cabinet has yet to be borne
in mind and, though the possibilitiesof its fulfillment may
seem distant, a simple action will complete the pro-
gramme. By closing the flap covering the work well, and
turning the chair completely over on to the top of the
table, so that the top of the arms and back rest upon it
and the four legs are uppermost, the cabinet is completed,
save that a brass rod, with a pretty silk or other curtain
suspended from it, is to be slipped into the sockets already
noted. The legs of the chair now form four sprightly
finials; the spindles serve as an effective gallery round
three sides, while the arms, seat and back of the chair,
" topsy turvy " as they now are, constitute a safe and
pretty asylum for anything placed therein. It must be
understood that the lid of the work well can be opened or
closed with equal facility when the article is being used as
a cabinet as in its other capacity, and the sliding shelf,
too, is always available.
As the flag pole trade is now an important feature
with many dealers, our readers are advised to see the
new circular of the John Kroder & Henry Reubel
Company, which, will be sent on application. This com-
pany are large manufacturers of flag poles, and offer
a big assortment at prices so low that they are certain to
interest every buyer. Their headquarters are at 268 and
270 Canal street, New York.

EMBROIDERED SCREENS.
CREENS afford excellent opportu-
nities for decorative needlework.
Their ornamental value well
repays the best efforts that a
skillful worker can expend
upon them. Then again, deli-
cate work mounted as a screen
stands a better chance of being
kept in good preservation than
in almost any other form, while
the subject gives so much scope
for originality of treatment
that it opens up a field in which
everyone recognizes endless possibilities.
In a screen the character and coloring of the room for
which it is intended must be thoroughly well considered ;
also the question of whether its primary intention is use or
ornament. Both purposes are admirably combined in an
Empire screen with three panels, two filled with lovely
embroidery, the third with clear glass, giving free passage to
the glow of firelight or sunlight. Among the most highly
prized treasures of antique furniture are nowadays the
screens of a century or so ago Fortunate indeed is the
possessor of one or more of these, for nothing lends itself
more perfectly to adaptation as a frame for beautiful mod-
ern embroidery, provided, of course, that the character of
the work be kept strictly in harmony with that of its
mounting.
In accord with the present feeling for the elegant forms
and dainty coloring of the French furniture of the last
century is the beautiful three-fold Louis Seize screen, two
panels of which are shown in Fig. 1 of the accompanying
sketches. The ground consists of a rich, old-fashioned
tabouret of a peculiarly pleasing tint of pearl white, on
which the pattern is worked
in bright, delicate tones of
filo-fioss silk. In the center
panel is a cornucopia filled
with glowing masses of ane-
mones and tulips treated in
their natural colors, the
soft violet blue of the ane-
mones being reproduced
with wonderful truth to na-
ture. The side panels
are occupied by pendent bas-
kets of roses tied with blue
ribbons, while the subor-
dinate decoration of garlands
and knots of ribbon is con-
ceived in the true spirit of
the period. At the foot of
each panel is a fan-like fluting
of soft green silk, while the
gilt frame, with its graceful
lines and elegant moldings
of groups of arrows and
musical instruments, admir-
NO. 2.— DESIGN FOR A POLE SCR
ably completes the decorative tion of an old engraving,
scheme. Of a different character, though equally suited
to the Old World furniture with which we love to fill our
rooms, is the subject of Fig. 2, a suggestion for a pole
screen, illustrative of what is quite one of the newest ideas
of the day for needlework screens. On a ground of white
satin is mounted one of the reproductions (also on white
satin) of the old Bartolozzi and other engravings in mono-
chrome after Morland, Wheatley and favorite artists of
that date, specially prepared for this purpose. Around it
is worked a light, graceful border of blue ribbon, and
sprays of pink blossoms and fern, the effect being ex-
tremely delicate and tasteful. A great variety of these
engravings on satin has recently been published, so that a
wide range of subjects is obtainable, in accordance with
the taste of the worker.
The exceedingly effective design for a fire screen repro-
duced in the third illustration embodies an original and
highly decorative scheme of color, adapted from a seven-
teenth century Spanish motif. Much individuality is shown
in the treatment of the subject — a group of flags or iris, car-
ried out in applique, on a ground of Italian linen. Flowers
and foliage are in art cloth, the former being of a delight-
ful tone of terra-cotta, harmonizing well with the blue-
green of the leaves. At the base are a few quaintly stiff
blossoms of the kingcup order. The outlines are defined
in crewel wool, and here and there a powdering of lustrous
spangles imparts a brightness of effect, which is further
heightened by the introduction of a bee and a dragon fly,
also worked in spangles and jewels. Brilliantly jeweled
effects are certainly a feature in the needlework of the
present day Another screen is formed of a single peacock
worked in silks, with the burnished metallic hues on the
breast and in the eyes of the plumage, touched in with
iridescent sequins. The bee and the dragon fly I have
just mentioned are encrusted with glittering jewels, the
head of the former being composed of wonderfully simu-
lated cabochon moonstones. As a gift for a silver wedding
a fascinating screen was not
long ago designed, the device
consisting of sprays of
white lilac, executed in rib-
bon work and tied with
knots of silver ribbon on a
background of ivory satin,
mounted in a white enam-
eled frame.
An entirely novel sugges-
tion here offers itself in the
form of a series of satin
medallions, painted in the
faint, cloudy, French style,
with Watteau subjects, che-
rubs or studies of heads.
Set on colored silk and sur-
rounded with paillettes and
wreaths of flowers in fine
ribbon work, these medal-
lions make as charming pole
screens and single or double
panels as can be imagined. A

adapted as a setting for a delicately worked
panel embroidered on silk, with the narrow
crinkled ribbons which are now a good deal
used, and finished with a border of lace.
The fourth illustration is a reproduction
of some old Italian embroidery carried out

"The cultivation of flax promises to become an important
industry in the State of Oregon. This branch of
agriculture has been established in the State only two
or three years, but it is being systematically advanced
through the efforts of the Oregon Women's Flax Fibre
Association, a part of whose efforts is devoted to advertis-
ing the State's possibilities in this direction. The product
of 1897 has been sold for 10 cents, and 12 cents per pound
is expected for this year's fibre, that being 4 cents in ex-
cess of all other American grades. Orders are in hand
for every ounce of the 1898 product, which is to come
from 140 acres of the best flax land in the State. In ad-
dition to this palpable business advantage, arrangements
have been made whereby the United States Agricultural
Department will assume charge of the association's dis-
play at the Omaha Exposition, giving it prominent space,
advantageous display, and good advertising. A display
of fibres and linens is also to be made at an exhibition in
Portland.

EAST INDIAN FURNITURE.
EAPOYS, tabourets and straight-
backed settees of Bombay
rosewood are brought out to
accord with the draperies and
Oriental appointments of East
India rooms. Arm chairs, and
those light enough to move
about, big broad-topped, round
tables, suitable for drawing
room or study, are also shown.
The rosewood is of an ashy,
lack-lustre hue, as seen in the
importer's shop, but the na-
tive oil of the wood comes
out with use a.nd polishing,
and the delicate, lace-like
hand carving shows to advan-
tage.
The carving and ornamen-
tation of this East Indian
furniture, as described in the New York Sun, is totally
dissimilar to that of the Italian and other schools. It is
far more intricate, of smaller, finer pattern, and with none
of the capering cupids, veiled Venuses, and ornately bold
devices seen on Italian-made sofas and cabinets. The
carved edge of a Bombay table top falls over in scalloped-
out leaves and emblems as delicate and finely wrought as
the embroidery border on a woman's gown. Each table
has a selvage trimming of inlaid and embossed work set in
about the rim, the carving of such precise, yet artistic,
workmanship that it repays examination. Small as the
pattern is in the lustreless, unyielding wood, distinctive
designs are discerned in it — griffins and sea serpents and
big-petalled tropic flowers, interwoven with royal insignia
and mythological emblems.
For a base, such a rarely beautiful table has four sylvan-
looking birds turned about head downward, supporting
the main shaft with their bodies. The wings and out-
spread tail feathers, as shapely and symmetrical as though
carved of pliant, flexible stuff, and not mere wood, vines
with delicate tendrils and vine-like twists and curves
clamber up the shaft, and the whole table, from the out-
spread feet to the double-lidded centre, is a thing to be
looked at again and again. It is a matter of speculation
as to how much time was expended on the painstaking
carving, and how long the Hindoo carver wrought on that
curved-over lace border. As time is valued in the
United States, $600 would not buy such a unique appoint-
ment, but the English factors get it made in the time
expending East for such a sum that the New York dealer

can afford to sell it for $150 and feel satisfied. It is large
enough for the centre furnishing of a spacious room, and
no cameo carving or sculptured work of art could be
wrought with more lavish perfection of finish and atten-
tion to detail and proportion.
The little dwarf teapoys of Bombay rosewood, round
and squat, and suggestive of a languid people who like to
lean upon their elbows and sip now and then of the re-
freshment at hand, have no carving as elaborate and won-
derful as the big tables, but they have rounded, pillar-like
supports — tops adorned with what looks like a valance of
wood round them, and other non-American features.
Many are made with the top to lift out and a hollow under-
neath for holding the tea caddy. They exchange their
dingy, almost gray blackness for a deep, oily ebon hue
after being much handled and pulled about from divan to
divan in the service of hospitality or home loving comfort.
Similar shaped teapoys and drum shaped tabourets can be
got in Shisham wood (a warm colored East Indian wood)
all inlaid with ivory and pearl tinted composition in in-
tricate patterns, but the Bombay rosewood is the most
unobtrusively distinctive, and after use it has the subtle
gloss and lustre of something fine and out of the ordinary,
to be treasured and grow all the richer with use.
Low standing cabinets, with inscrutable, locked away
looking niches and treasure hiding drawers in them, are
also shown in Bombay rosewood. The top pillars will be
ended off with pagan looking heads and helmets, and on the
panels of the main compartment the carving will be subtly
suggestive of Buddha or his fabulous prototypes and what
they stood for. All this East Indian furnishing is low to
the floor and in thorough keeping with the thick mats,
prayer rugs and floor cushions modeled on the usages of
a people who half sit, half loll at all times and possess to
English eyes the miraculous knack of curling their legs up
under them and squatting easefully anywhere on the least
possible excuse.
The arm chairs, ordinary chairs and settees in this native
rosewood are all shaped and ornamented after Dutch
models. The Dutch, it seems, first discovered the salable
and adaptable qualities of the native East India wood
carving and influenced the workers in Bombay to conform
to their notions of beauty, so the chairs and settes have a
prim rigidness of outline that seems out of key with their
Oriental origin. The carving and decoration are a mix-
ture of Dutch influences and East India convictions of
what is appropriate.
The Dutch have long since ceased to dabble in the
trade, but the English furniture importers and manufac-
turers have not changed the original models, that are
quaint and interesting. The entire back of an upright,
uncompromising-looking chair will be a mass of exquisite
openwork carving, the pattern so inwrought and convene
tional as to fit in with the general style of structure. The
seat is left plain, but a narrow carved border of rich work
is let in near the margin, and the underpinning and the
high posts of the chair back show a touch of East Indian
barbaric lavishness. The knobs on the pinnacle of the
back posts show a grotesque emblem, half classic, half
fantastic, and the feet will have a modified likeness to a
centaur's extremities or some strange heathen finishing.
On the cross panel or headboard of a big Dutch-lookiiio-
chair an entablature in flat carving represents a scene
eloquent to Hindoo scholars conversant with the native-
legends and beliefs and quite imposing and meaningful
even to those who have only a glimmering of knowledge
on the subject. The carved arms and legs and back posts
of the chair are typical of the same superstitions and cre-
dences, turned and curved under and molded with distinc-
tive purpose and an art that does not detract from the
strength and practicality of the model.
There is an interesting contrast between the Dutch
solidity and capaciousness of these furnishings and the
character of their decoration.
Certain of the rosewood tabourets have cushions of
wrought silk and moreen, glittering with gold and silver
threads, the designs corresponding with the Hindoo

MONUMENTAL CITY MATTERS.
All kinds of furniture are manufactured in Baltimore,
a specialty being oak bedroom suites. Local furniture fac-
tories are equipped with the most modern
machinery and succeed in having their
products sell readily in many States. The
manufacture of furniture has grown extensively in Balti-
more in the last ten years. This has been the best season
the manufacturers have enjoyed for the past five years, and
the future of the trade seems very bright. While the war
between this country and Spain has made buyers some-
what timid, the volume of business done recently has been
very great. There are $2,000,000 invested in this
line of bu.siness and the value of the annual product
amounts to $8,000,000, while the several factories employ
over 2,000 hands.
The Manley Furniture Company, furniture and uphol-
stery, Carthage, Mo., has been incorporated by M. E.
Manley, C. E. Manley and I. E. Manley with a capital
stock of $3,000.
Gottfried Wiedermann, for many years in the furniture
and upholstery business, died at his home on West Fayette
street the 1st inst. He was a native of Germany. A
widow survives him.
Charles Lozano, secretary and treasurer of the Lozano
Dry Goods Company, dry goods and upholstery, Wash-
ington, D. C, filed a suit against Adolph Lichenstein,
senior member of the firm of Lichenstein & Kohner, same
business, the 1st inst., for alleged slander, asking $10,000
damages. The basis of the action is that Mr. Lichenstein
called him a "Spaniard."
George H. Korband John Diener, both cabinet makers,
were each fined $25 and costs the 7th inst. on the charge
of striking Aaron Laven, dealer in furniture and uphol-
stery. No. 403 North Howard street. Mr. Laven stated
that he engaged the men to do some work for him, and
when they asked for an advance on the job and were re-
fused they assaulted him in his store. Mr. Laven
received several blows in his face. During the struggle a
lot of antique furniture, valued at about $300, was
broken. R. L. E.
HOW TO DRAPE
SUMMER CURTAINS,
IT certainly should be the exception nowadays to en-
counter an ugly window, considering the great variety
of pretty curtain fabrics available for summer use. To
name but a few we have Madrases — colored and plain
— muslins, delicate "Liberty" China, and other silks;
Nottingham laces and beautiful Swiss nets.
Fig. 1 represents a simple style, capable of expansion
or contraction, and, so, suitable to any averaged sized
window. The two curtains should be cut about one foot
longer than the window to admit of shrinkage. The
festoon is joined to the curtains and the sides should be
equal to the width of the hanging, otherwise, when
attaching, it would be necessary to gather it in to suit the
festoon. When joining the parts it will be well to observe
that the back of the left curtain and the front of the swag
should be placed together, the reverse order applying to
the required width for throwing over the pole either by
means of a caser and tape or simply a thread. In the
centre the swags are joined and drawn up in a perpen-
dicular form, the cord and tassel being passed over the
pole and tied underneath. The drawing supports the
drapery in the centre.
Fig. 3 is a slight departure from anything we have yet
discussed and one which certainly has a very unconven-
tional effect. The construction is similar to that of the
preceding one, the difference being in the fixing. Place a
stout screw-eye in the ceiling, from which a long cord with
double tassel should depend. A large, careless looking
knot should be passed around the gathering of the two
swags and some stitching applied here to keep the whole
in position. If a semi-circle were described above the pole
in Fig. 3, having a diameter equal to the width of the pole,
Fig. 4-
the right hand curtain. A caser and small heading should
be made through the former and a cord or tape passed, or
the rod itself, if not more than three-quarters of an inch
thick, might be used and the tape dispensed with. When
fixing see that the one curtain is in front, the other behind
the festoon. As a finish frill or fringe may be used.
Fig. 2 is simple and graceful. In this and the succeed-
ing designs the curtains are suspended from a small rod
fixed behind the pole sufficiently low not to show over the
draping.
At both ends the swag is joined to the tail and drawn to
and the apex of drapery slightly raised, this design would be
found a simple and effective style of treating a small archway
such as may be found in many halls, staircases and landings.
Fig. 4 is another uncommon style known as the " Butter-
fly " swag. The effect is obtained by cutting the swag in
the usual way, giving, however, a little more fullness in
depth, cutting out a small semi-circle in the middle of the
top and drawing this to a point. The sides are treated in
the same way as an ordinary swag. It must be observed,
however, that A B and C D together should be equal to
the finished top line of festoon, the semi-circle of 6 or
65
The Upholstery Trade Review.
9 inches diameter (according as the swag is large or small)
being extra. This drapery, it will be observed, is sus-
pended by hooks from the rings of the pole. In this
design a frill would make the better finish, but in the two
preceding ones the drapery would be improved by the
addition of a fringe.
Although the Madras muslin may be ecru, the fringe
need not be self colored ; a delicately tinted one in har-
mony with the prevailing lints around the window would
be quite permissible.
Oriel windows unrelieved by drapery present a very
unfinished appearance. An easy method. of treating them
is to have a succession of simple swags suspended from
the rings of the pole and disappearing behind the long
curtains. Tails may be introduced at the angles if con-
sidered desirable, and cords and tassels here give a light
and smart effect. Where economy is studied both may be
dispensed with. Fig. o is an example of what is meant.
Fig. 6 shows a little more style and variety. The centre
is drawn up as in Fig. 2, with the swags thrown over the
pole at the angle and the tail showing behind.
In this case it is better to draw up the corresponding
side of each swag separately, plait up the tail and attach
them to one another behind the pole.
The centre of the side windows may be treated with
cord and tassels in the same way as the middle one if
desired.
The two last designs can be carried out in Madras
muslin or in any of the heavier materials, such as wool,
serge or tapestry.
When joining the coiling swag", and tails of the side
windows bear in mind the instruction given for Fig. 1
about the right and wrong sides being placed together.
This will be more readily underi^tood if a straight piece
of material is festooned over a pole, when it will be seen
that each alternate sv/ag presents the opposite side to the
room.
In each of the oriel designs here shown there is a pole.
This is not indispensable; a plain lath will be found
cheaper and it will serve quite as well. In such a case the
drapery would have to be tacked to the front of the lath
and finished off with a cord. It would improve the scheme
to add a small box plaited or frilled heading.
When frilling curtains the muslin should be cut in long
strips about 5 inches broad, joined together and hemmed
along one side; the fullness put in may be anything from a
half to a whole, additional. It is a tedious job to turn
down about half an inch on the other edge of the frill and
draw it up, then attaching it to the curtain by hand.
It should not be necessary for us to emphasize the fact
that skill in draping should never be permitted to " run
riot "'in the direction of over-elaboration, but a glance
into the windows of many houses indicates that a word of
warning on that score will not be out of place. As a
matter of individual preference we may say that our tastes
•decidedly incline to far greater simplicity than is to be
found in the majority of cases, but as the plain and severe
school does not win the approval of many people, we take
it to be our duty to guide our readers, so far as may be
within our power, in the arrangement of textile fabrics in
a variety of ways which shall appeal to those who ask for
something more than straight, simple folds — often the most
beautiful of all.
A SALESMAN'S ADVENTURE.
CH. Barnette, a well-known traveling salesman on
. the staff of H. L. Judd & Co., New York, is also
an amateur photographer, and when he left New York for
the South last month he took a kodak with him aboard the
steamer Algonquin. While the boat was at Charleston,
S. C. , he took several views of the harbor, with its forts
and shipping, and when he finally reached Galveston, Tex.,
he left the films with a photographer there to be devel-
oped. On calling for them the next day he was confronted
by a policeman, who told him that he was wanted at the
station house, and on arriving there he was informed by
the chief of police that the character of the photographs
gave strong reason for the suspicion that he was a spy of
the Spanish Government. Fortunately Mr. Barnette had
several friends in Galveston, who came to his assistance
by vouching for the fact that he was simply a salesman and
in no way an emissary of Spain. He was finally released,
but it is reported that before they let him go the police kept
him locked up in the calaboose and handcuffed to a negro
prisoner for about three hours; but this part of the story
is denied by him.
BROMLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY.
MONO the oft'erings of the season
the lace curtains and nets, and
tapestry and chenille curtains
and table covers, linen velour
curtains and piece goods of
the Bromley Manufacturing
Company are exceptionally con-
spicuous by their immense ex-
tent and the skillfully varied
assortment of styles shown in
them.
The line of lace curtains and
nets is the largest and most
attractive ever brought out by
the company, and in the tapestry and chenille goods, &c.,
special eft'orts have been made to surpass all the manufac-
turers' previous effects. How successful these efforts have
proved can be quickly seen by a glance at the goods. In
every grade there is a profusion of entirely new and hand-
some effects, which, combined with the standard styles, are
well calculated to meet the demands of the most exacting
buyer. A notable feature is a line of cross and length
stripes in Tapestry piece goods.
George E. Lackey, the sole selling agent, has the com-
plete lines on view at the salesrooms, 415 Broadway, New
York.
J. S. Lesser & Co., 473 Broadway, New York, are
showing notable lines of novelty nets and fish nets, com-
prising over 150 patterns. These goods are all well made
and finished, and must be seen to be appreciated. In
Nottingham curtains Lesser & Co. offer both foreign and
domestic makes in full size, sash and vestibule. Another
important feature of the firm's offerings is the line of
Swiss curtains, and attention is called to the special bar-
gains in Brussels to close out a consignment.

ORIENTAL DRAPERIES MADE IN AMERICA.
THE Eden Manufacturing Company, of Eden, Pa., have
rendered it possible for American buyers to secure
at home all the oddity in patterns and colorings of drapery
and upholstery goods made in Oriental countries They
show fabrics which in texture and patterns so closely re.
semble these Eastern weaves that the most skilled buyers
cannot tell them from the latter. For the
fall trade they have brought out an
Indian Dhurrie in several different color-
ings and a variety of Arabian, Damascus
and Indian stripes, both in finished
curtains and by the yard ; Bulgarian, Bag- ;
dad and Madagascar stripes in curtains ■ ! i
and yard goods; Pompeian curtains
in silk stripes; grenadine stripes entirely
new this season, and other novel and
exclusive effects in fabrics and styles. As
Gardner Wright, of the firm of Chas. B.
Young & Co., states, " If you have an
original idea to carry out in curtain or
upholstery goods, the Eden Manufacturing
Company is a good concern to bring
it to."
It is certainly highly creditable to the
enterprise and skill of the Eden Com-
pany to find them going into the produc-
tion of fabrics not heretofore attempted in
this country, and the record of the
mills' running during the past year proves
that this enterprise is being appreciated
by the trade. It will certainly be to the
interest of every curtain and upholstery
buyer to view the Eden Company's
line at the salesroom of Chas. B. Young
& Co., sole selling agents, Hartford
Building, New York, or through their
travelers on the road.
NOTABLE LINE OF ST. GALL CURTAINS.
ANEW department with Arnold B. Heine
& Co. opens on the 15th inst. with
a large stock of St. Gall lace curtains
made in the firm's own factory. A year
ago the house, which is one of the oldest
and largest embroidery and lace con-
cerns in the country, went into the lace
curtain business on import orders, in
which branch they have been highly successful. Their
satisfactory experience in the import business has induced
them to open a new stock department, in which will be
represented a large assortment of exclusive styles in Irish
points, Tambour lace, Brussels lace. Tambour muslin,
frilled muslins and Arabian points. In addition to the
above the firm have a large line of specialties, exclusive
with them, in stylish, handsome effects. These are known
as the Duchesse points. Point de Rococo, Point de Rosace,
Point de Brabancon, Point de Bengalis, Point d'Alencon,
Escurial Points and Renaissance. Sash curtains, yard
goods and bed sets to match are offered in a large variety
in different grades.
Arnold B. Heine & Co.'s new department is located at
503 and 505 Broadway, New York, where it occupies a
floor space of 50 by 125 feet. This spacious wareroom has
been handsomely and appropriately fitted up, and is one
of the most attractive and roomy lace curtain salesrooms in
the city. The department is in charge of Mr. Louis Frank,
who has been many years in the curtain manufacturing

easiness in St. Gall, and is skilled in all its branches.
Assisting Mr. Frank in the selling are J. Decker, Jr., well
and favorably known to lace curtain buyers and an ac-
knowledged leader in lace curtain selling, and C. T. Bur-
bridge, also an experienced and successful curtain sales-
lan who has held prominent positions in the trade.
The manufacturing resources of Arnold B. Heine & Co.
in Switzerland place them firmly in the front ranks with
inducements in assortment of styles and right prices, and
such offerings make it the duty of ever\- curtain buyer to
view the lines before placing fall orders.
ROPE PORTIERES AND UPHOLSTERY TRIMMINGS.
TuK llensel Silk Manufacturing Company's fall line in
rope portieres is about ready, aud represents an
.ggregation of novelties that will be hard to beat. Mr.
Hensel has brought forward new ideas in color combina-
tions and designs which cannot fail to interest discriminat-
ing buyers. The new Velvet Ruff cord portiere, which
has been such a pronounced success since its introduction
the first of last season, is shown in an amplified line of
styles, and with their increased facilities the Hensel Com-
pany will be prepared to promptly supply demands for this
q^iick selling portiere. Their line of upholstery trim-
mings, fringes, loops, &c. , is replete, as usual, with novel-
ties of an entirely original character, such as have given
a high reputation to the products of this concern. The
fall lines can be viewed at the factory salesroom in Phila-
delphia or at the New York office, 458 Broadway.
A GREAT PROMOTER'S FAILURE.
'r'^^RNEST Ter.\h Hooi.ev, the fa-
mous promoter, whose recent
failure has made such a
sensation, came from a
family of lace manufac-
turers at Nottingham, Eng-
land. When he. was twenty-
two years old his mother
died and left him ;^35,000.
He then started in busi-
ness as a stock broker, and for some time made about
j£'ZO,000 a year. As a broker he made the acquaintance
of a number of rich people, won their confidence, and with
their aid began the career as a promoter of stock com-
panies which brought him so prominently before the entire
financial world.
His first great success in this line was in securing con-
trol of the H umber bicycle concern and reorganizing it.
He began to buy the shares of the company when they
were quoted 5'/^, and they soon rose to 24 j^. It is said
that he made j^3Go, 000 on this deal alone. Backed by a
ring of large capitalists controlling about ;^] 0,000,000 he
engaged in one large operation after another, and in 1896,
having secured control of the Dunlop Tire Company for
^3,000,000, he sold the stock to the present company for
^5,0U0,000. He has since been the leading figure in the
promotion of several other companies, but none of them
has been very successful, and some were disastrous to all
concerned. One of his latest schemes was the floating of
a Spanish loan, and this proved a failure.
He has been credited with clearing ^^50,000 in one year.
He lived much like Monte Cristo, bought yachts, race
horses and historic country seats, established pensions for
the aged, gave gold plate to churches, and in many other
ways displayed vanity and liberality alike colossal in pro-
portions.
HOYLE, HARRISON & KAYE'S FALL LINES.
HE fall assortment of upholstery cover-
ings, drapery and hanging
fabrics brought out by Hoyle,
Harrison & Kaye shows that
they are keeping well in front
in producing new textures as
well as new styles. Their offer-
ings in yard goods are by far
the largest in assortment and
best in character of patterns
ever produced by them. In silk
brocade they show a very large
and fine line, including many
superb new colorings. Their
line of silk Gobelin tapestries
is alone an inducement for a
buyer to view their goods, as
to all intents and purposes their
new silk Gobelin fabrics represent all the beauty and
fineness of texture to be found in the originals. In the
Tricot weaves they have a good assortment of patterns,
and bring out the beauties of this texture to perfection.
Other attractive productions are silk warp tapestries,
Flemish tapestries, Cecil cloth, a new and stylish fabric;
Kremlin curtains, brocatelles and the various other tex-
tures for which this firm are noted.
They display equal strength and beauty in their lines of
curtains and table covers in a big variety of tapestry and
silk textures and also in chenilles. They show high class,
all-over-figured' chenille curtains which have all the ap-
pearance of silk velvet and are so far away from the ordi-
nary chenille patterns that the best trade can find an
opening for them in their fall stocks. The complete fall
lines of Hoyle, Harrison & Kaye are now displayed by
their sole agents, Chas. B. Young & Co., Hartford Build-
ing, New York, and it will be a treat to every lover of the
artistic and beaiitiful in upholsteries to view the goods.
The contents of a brick warehouse on North Fourteenth
street, Omaha, Neb., used by the Orchard & Wilhelm Car-
pet Company for the storage of furniture, were seriously
damaged by fire on the 10th inst. Loss, $10,000; covered
by insurance.
Harry M. Mays, manager of the upholstery and rug
department of the O'Gorman Company, Providence, R. I.,
is adding matting to his stock in full assortment. He had
such success with a trial lot of mattings that he decided to
make them a permanent feature. The O'Gorman Com-
pany will add a stock of furniture for fall which will also
be in charge of Mr. Mays.

caused a loss of $1,500; fully insured.
. . The Wolcott & Parret Company, dealers in wall papers.
New Haven, Conn., has applied for permission to liquidate
the affairs of the concern. The company states that it is
not insolvent, but that Mr. Wolcott has recently died and
that Mr. Parret is in poor health. The firm was organized
January 1, 1892. Its capital stock is $8,000.
. .A number of buildings, including K. Shields & Co 's
wall paper house, at Dallas, Tex. , were destroyed by fire
on May 27, entailing a loss of from $350,000 to $400,000.
J. W. Cowan, married, aged twenty-five years, salesman
for K. Shields & Co., lost his life in an effort to save the
books of his firm. The walls of the Dorsey Building fell
and crushed him to death.
. . The large two story factory occupied by the Illinois
Wall Paper Company, 4013 to 4023 Wentworth avenue,
Chicago, was destroyed by fire with a loss of $110,000.
The blaze originated in the centre of the buildmg from an
unknown cause and was not discovered by the watchman
until several small explosions of chemicals had scattered
fire throughout the interior. A. Libert, of Kewaunee, is
president of the company and the principal stockholder.
The company's loss on stock and machinery was $60,000.
..E. A. Davis, wall paper dealer, Erie,' Pa., has been
awarded the contract to paper 700 rooms in the new ten
story hotel building which Henry Shenk is building near
Schenley Park in Pittsburg. The contract is one of the
largest ever awarded for wall paper. Over 12,000 rolls of
high grade paper will be used. Mr. Davis will personally
superintend the hanging of the paper. There are forty-
two kinds of paper to be used in the building and the main
hall requires over 1,600 rolls, besides an equal amount of
border.
The store of Arthur C. King, wall paper dealer,
Worcester, Mass., was attached by Deputy Sheriff James
Early on the 11th inst. at the instance of John E. Day,
and a keeper placed in charge. The stock and fixtures
, were to have been disposed of at mortgagee's sale the
same morning at 10:30 o'clock, but, the attachment being
served before the hour of the sale, the sale did not take
place. The proprietor of the store is now at the front
with the Light Infantry, in which he is a lieutenant. Dur-
ing his absence the store has been in charge of his
brother.
. .Herbert L. Montague and Samuel E. Montague, com-
posing the firm of Dailey, Montague & Co.. dealers in
wall paper and decorations, at No. 2u East Forty-second
street. New York, made an assignment on the 6th inst. to
Charles G. Judson without preference. The business was
established about twelve years ago, and M. E Dailey, the
senior partner, retired from the firm in January, 1896, and
the other partners continued the business under the old
firm style. Walter K. Griffin, their attorney, said that
the liabilities are $12,000; nominal assets, $5,000; actual
assets, $4,000.
. .James J. Nealis has been appointed receiver for
Henry J. Fisher, of No. 654 Columbus avenue, New
York. Mr. Fisher is manager of a paper hanging busi-
ness for his wife.
. .William N. Smith died at hisliome in Buft'alo, N. Y.,
on the 9th inst., aged fifty years. He was born in Buffalo
and educated in its public schools. He began life as a
newspaper carrier after leaving school. A few years later
he entered the employ of Merrit Nichols, dealer in wall
paper. He soon became manager of the store, and in
1879, with R. F. Sherman, bought out Mr. Nichols, the
firm of Smith & Sherman continuing in business ever
since. In early life he entered the Seventy-fourth Regi-
ment as a private and rose to the rank of captain. He
was prominent in politics, and had been a member of the
Buffalo board of fire commissioners.
..On Jtme 1 Deputy Sheriff Gilligan, of New York,
secured an attachment against Whiting Brothers, corpora-
tion, manufacturers of wall paper at Mamaroneck, N. Y.,
for $17,500, in favor of Llewellyn M. Bickford, on an
assigned claim from the Otis Falls Pulp Company, of
Maine, for balance due for materials and on fifteen notes
of the first-named corporation. The attachment was ob-
tained on the ground that it is a New Jersey corporation
and it was served on a wall paper dealer here to attach an
account. Whiting Brothers was incorporated on March
10, 1897, with an authorized capital stock of $100,000, and
purchased the premises formerly occupied by the Consoli-
dated Wall Paper Company, of which Walter B. Whiting
was superintendent. He became president of Whiting
Brothers and Holland S. Whiting was treasurer.
. .In the United States Circuit Court of Philadelphia a
bill of equity was filed by Horatio G. Craig and others,
trading as H. G. Craig & Co., and John Waldron against
the Delaware Wall Paper Mills and A. B. Davis. The bill
sets forth that the paper company is indebted to H. G.
Craig & Co. in the sum of $3,961 and to John Waldron to
the amount of $6,555, and that judgments were entered
at Wilmington for each of the debts. The bill further
alleges that A. B. Davis, the president of the company,
which is insolvent, shipped a large quantity of paper be-
longing to the firm to Philadelphia in his own name and
obtained warehouse receipts from parties in whose pos-
session the paper now is. Two foreign attachments are
alleged to have been issued against the paper by other
creditors. The bill asks that answers be made to its alle-
gations, that a receiver be appointed and that A. B. Davis
be enjoined from converting the paper to his own use. An
accounting is also asked for.

PHILADELPHIA TAPESTRY MILLS,
Cambria and Ormes Streets.
PHILADELPHIA, June 1, 1898.
To Buyers of Upholstery Goods :
You'll find our "Ads." to be the smallest part of our business. We lay more
stress on our reputation as successful manufacturers. A FEW SOLID FACTS,
if read and digested by thinking buyers, are worth pages of talk.
The well-merited popularity of our goods has not been established because WE
SAY SO. We haven't been running our mills uninterruptedly ever since the
beginning of our business, nor have we been compelled to build an additional
mill because we devote a certain amount of space to sel f -approbation in the
trade journals.
It naturally follows that commodities strictly up-to-date and not infre-
quently in advance (as in our case) find a ready market. Success is not the
result of mere chance or accident. The constant bettering of a product long
known as the best of its kind has made us what we are to-day : —

MODERN UPHOLSTERIES.
It is evident that buyers are becoming more convinced every season that It
does not pay to purchase foreign made Upholstery and Drapery Fabrics
when they can buy American made goods of equal quality and superior
styles at considerably less money, That our productions for the
FALL OF 1898
will substantiate the correctness of this assertion
we leave to the judgment of the Trade and invite the most careful
comparison between them and imported fabrics.

THE SECRET OF WEAR IN
RUBBER MATTING
is elasticity — not so much as in rubber bands,
but enough to let the matting give when the
foot strikes and lessen the blow. Ordinary
matting is made of a poor quality of rubber,
brittle and stiff. The foot lands heavily, and
rapidly wears away the rubber or breaks it off.
In our mats, matting and step-treads we use
a tough, elastic rubber, which yields to the
foot and saves itself, springing back into shape
as soon as the pressure is removed. Two
grades; Spider — excellent quality and a good
wearer: Double Diamond — superior quality
and an exceptional wearer. Call or write.
