THREE FLOORS OF FURNITURE.

The Wright Store the Handsomest Ever In Jasper County. ... ' ' • ,¥ '• ' * Rensselaer now has a thoroughly up-to-date furniture store, and one that competes for size of stock, display arrangement, the quality of the goods, and in the matter of prices with stores in much larger cities. It is owned and managed by a name that has been associated with the furniture business almost since the earliest history of Rensselaer, namely, W. J. Wright. The proprietor is a young man who expects to continue in the business and his plans are consequently all being made with a permanent intention, and his aim must be to carry the stock that the people desire in order to build up the extensive furniture business that is so much his desire. Mr. Wright bought the Williams’ stock and held a sale to reduce it and to rid the stock of many articles not entirely up-to-date. He followed this Tijr by continuing to make reduced price sales of many articles until the stock was thoroughly cleared up. In the mean time he was looking about for a room where he could better display his new stock and he finally purchased the Star brick block on Washington street, next door to the old postoffice room. This he had re modeled to meet the needs of a furniture store, and the entire building,' three floors, is now the permanent home of the Wright Furniture Store. —The great plate glass windows and the broad, well-lighted room, give him the best imaginable room for display, and the lower floor of the Btore presents so attractive an appearance that it is the. object of much .favorable comment. Mr. Wright has believed that he is justified in carrying a finer line than was ever .carried here and in his display are some articles that would meet the requirements of the most artistically furnished home in the county. The first floor teems with beautiful furniture, consisting of bed room suites, parlor suites, dining room furniture, separate pieces of furniture for each room, rugs, carpets, etc., and all articles are marked with plain figures so that the visitor to the room can satisfy price curiosity while admiring the articles and the manner in which they are displayed. Quartered oak, mahogany and birds-eye maple-constitute a contrast and a difference that gives each visitor an opportunity to select his preference by comparison. Dressers, dressing tables, commodes, buffets, side boards, library tables, dining tables, diolng chairs, rocking chairs, fancy chairs, kitchen cabinets, etc., are where you can see them to advantage. The lighting at night is as near perfection as can be and the store is the best lighted in the city two rows of 64-candle-pawer lights extending the full length of the room. The upper floors are also filled with attractive things in the home beautifying and comforting line. The front portion of the second floor is largely devoted to a display of library tables, couches, davenports and drop head couches.

The rear part of the second floor is given over to chairs, largely rocking chairs, and few large stores show half the display that Mr. Wright has arranged. The chairs must be seen to be appreciated. The upper floor is also filled with furniture, dining chairs, beds and innumerable things in the furniture line; and the entire stock shpws the unmistakable hand of talent in selection and display. Mr. Wright thinks he has really put Rensselaer and Jasper county “on the map” in the furniture business and he extends \ a broadcast invitation to people to call and see his stock, and he asks that he be given a chance to supply the furniture needs of the city and the country round about. Correct prices and a fine stock to select from is the claim he presents for trade, and no purchaser can expect or desire more. 9 Call whether you wish to buy or not, the invitation is cordial and general. Racine, Racine, Racine, Racine, Racine, Racine, Work and Dress, next Saturday, all at 38c. Now Is your chance.
