"WILLAMETTE FARMER. BREYMAN BROS.' NEW STORE. One of the finest business houses to be found on the coast is that now being .completed by the Breyman Bros, for their own use, nnd to which they will remove nt an early day, ns the din of preparation is drawing to a close. The building occupies tho S. W. corner of Commercial nnd Court streets, is con structed in a composite order of archi tecture, nnd presents a strikingly hand some appearance because of the grace ful, though plain nnd somewhat bold, outside finish, it being in each story higher than any other building in town intended for business purposes. The first story is 18 feet and the second 1G feet high. The store room below is 90 feet by 41 feet 8 inches in size, and the building is thus in very pleasing pro portions. The first story front is com posed of iron columns and pilasters and but very little wood. The second story will hereafter be finished up for offices, which will le reached by a stairway on the south side. A belting course serves ,as a finish between the first and second stories. The cornice Is very elegant, and projects heavily. The fire-wall is 'topped with urns, and a parapet rises as a striking center-piece. The out side finish Is of cement, which leaves it as white as marble. The lower front is of plate glass, which reaches from the ceiling down. The windows are curtained with blue water-proof, on which the insignia of the firm has been elegantly painted by Col. C. A. Reed, in bronze and gold. The hanging of those curtains wns a difficult task, which has been well performed by Mr. A. ij. Gilbert, who Is connected with the bus iness. The architect of this beautiful struc ture has been Mr. W. F. Boothby, of theflrmofBoothby & Stapleton, from whoso factory all tho finishing work came. He has also planned the interi or, which it is safe to say is not surpass ed in any town of our State for conven ience, or for excellence of finish. The sides of the sales room are arranged with shelving above and drawers be low, with a handsome cornice that sur mounts the wood work. The counters are very fine workmanship, tho tops be ing made of Spanish cedar, a species of ' mahogany brought from Central Amer ica, and the fronts are elegant though not extravagant In design. Tho width of the room allows a separate sale de partment in the center, and fronting tho west entrance a circular counter, covered with a glass show case, sur rounds shelves and drawers to be occu pied with fancy articles; back of these, another central department will show ladies' shoes on ono side and gentle men's clothing on tho other, while to the rear are tables to be loaded down with domestics, cotton goods, prints, etc. The whole front, except tho door ways, is closed in about four feet deep for show windows, which will be very handsome when properly adorned. On the right, as you enter, is the carpet rack, next is an alcove for gents' hats and caps.then a long line of shelving, counter space and drawers on that side, will bo devoted to gentle men's furnishing goods, clothing, boots and shoes, and in tho east end will bo tho space for groceries. The design is about this, that the right side is devot ed to gentlemen's goods and tho loft will be entirely stocked with all the articles of ladies' wear and use the firm of Breyman Bros, so well know how to provide. Even the central department is so arranged that much of tho right side is for gentlemen's goods, and nil the left exclusively for the ladies. A counting ronm and private apartment occupy sufficient space on the left in the northwest corner, where a vault .stands ready for the safe. This office will be the sanctum of Frank Gilbert, the capable custodian of the books and .accounts. A cellar extends below the whole, ,and offers a safe and suitable store room for surplus goods and all country pro .duce. A gentleman lately from San Francisco expressed the opinion that this store would be a credit to any tpartof that city, and was not excelled for convenience and elegance by many of their fashionable bazars. Light emitted from the upper part of -the front, over the door-ways, will al ways give a pleasant display for goods and leave no reason for complaint that colors cannot be distinguished. It is the best lighted sales room in the State, nnd all things considered we pronounce it the best and most convex nient sales room to bo found In the State. The water aud gas fixtures are re ceiving their last touches from Michael Rhawl, and are in his best style. The building, In its completeness of details and symmetry of form, is a credit to Salem and an honor to the architect and builder. Under the dispensation of Messrs. Breyman Bros., It cannot fail t become a favorite resort for all purchasers, for the motto of the propri etors will be that it was made to use. We learu from the Oreqonian that W. H Courtney fell from the roof of a bulldlrg Monday morning and was severely in jured. The Nlcolaon pavement In Portland la re ported to be in a bad condition. From the Bulletin we learn that the storm at Astoria Sunday night was the heaviest of the season. Drunken women with young babes are picked up in the streets of Portland. Captain Scott of the steamer Ohio gave au old tar $10, to bring up his donkey engine recently lost overboard. A farmer near Portland recently raised a lot of peanuts on hl place. They are said to be a superior article. Garden City Plows and Cultiva tors. At the State Fair we saw the operation of the Garden City sulky plow, exhibited by T. Cunningham it Co., or Salem, and no doubt could be entertained of the excellence of the work by those who saw it. It was so satis factory that the firm received many orders on the spot and bad to telegraph tor a car load to Chicago to fill the demand. The first car load ordered have arrived and already been disposed of, and wherever used have given such satiHfictlon that the sale has been largely increased. Of these plows part only were sulky, and the greater part walking plows and the demand has so inoreased that two more shipments are already on the way, The gang plows all have the admirable Scotch clevis, which makes it convenient to put on three horses, or to set the plow exactly for any width or depth. These plows are ad vertlsed oonsplciously In our colu mns, which it will pay a farmer to read. Cunningham A Co., have also Just received from the same factory a cultivator, with wrought Iron beam and diamond steel teeth, of very beautiful workmanship, light for its strength, which they believe will give great satisfaction Those who have use for such will be well re paid for calling to see it. How to Obtain Patent. Any person desiring Information as to the mod o' taking out patents, can send a request to the Fabhi office, accompanied by a one-cent stamp, and will's celve by mall a copy of tho revised l'atent laws and) pamphlet containing full Information as to how tnvtc tions can bo patented. iKIraFrm msmm A Household without Tarrant's Sei.t7.ir ArERiENT within reach, lacks an Important safeguard of health and life.
