I another tier repleted with retail samples
ot their immense stock of paints, oils,

materials. An hundred feet of shelving
and show cases on the left are occupied
with drugs and chemicals while the mid

else to be found within the precincts of

northern and of the main floor stands
an immense rack reaching from floor to

variety of wall paper from the cheapest
in the market up to a quality fit to dec

basement are chiefly used as storage
rooms. A walk through them finds
them laterally packed with goods.
Here are rows of boxes and barrels filled
with empty bottles, yonder stacks of
cases of patent medicines. Further on
heaps of tubs and bottles and cans redo
lent of the flavor of white lead and tur
pentine. Still further rows of venerable
barrels bearing the familiar legend "Old
Kentucky Burbon" or "California Port"
of the still and vintage of 1800 and ever
so many years back. In this corner is a
packing room, in yonder an apartment
filled from floor to ceiling with the firms
