arc made in large variety to harmonize with 

 the woodwork of the different rooms. Some 

 of them are so handsomely carved and elabo- 

 rately finished as to be perfect masterpieces. 

 Grilles improve the appearance of doorways 

 and arches, and can be had in many beautiful 

 and decorative shapes. A full line of mantels 

 and grilles is carried by W. F. Ostendorf, No. 

 2417 North Broad Street, Philadelphia, and 

 he will gladly send a copy of his illustrated 

 catalogue free on request. The goods are sold 

 li direct from factory to user," saving all be- 

 tween profits. The prices are low, in the first 

 place, because the cost is reduced by manufac- 

 turing in large quantities. In addition to 

 mantels and grilles, he also furnishes slate 

 laundry tubs, gas grates, fireplace belongings, 

 tile and marbleized slate wainscoting for vesti- 

 bules, bathrooms, halls, etc. Any one about to 

 build a new home or make improvements in 

 the present dwelling would do well to write 

 to this well established and artistic manufac- 

 turer regarding the goods mentioned above. 



Wood-Working Machinery 



THE great wood-working machinery in- 

 dustry owned and operated by J. A. 

 Fay &; Egan Company has at last 

 conquered the details of a struggle to improve 

 facilities to meet its expanding business. In 

 our long acquaintance with the capacity of 

 this enterprise we have only known it to main- 

 tain one inferiority — a lack of building space. 

 This has now been corrected in a fair meas- 

 ure, so that it will soon be possible to fill all 

 orders with more than the usual rapidity, 

 although the realty conditions surrounding the 

 works do not promise a realization of the area 

 needed to establish a plant which should be 

 double the size the shops now occupy. At 

 present the remedy is in the shape of a large 

 five-story building under favorable state of 

 construction and having a space of about fifty 

 thousand square feet. It will be used as a 

 shipping warehouse, and will serve to contain 

 the finished machines ready for transportation, 

 instead of, as heretofore, leaving the tools in 

 the respective departments in which they are 

 built. This will give more room in all de- 

 partments and make the shipping of machinery 

 very much easier. The warehouse will also 

 serve as a showroom, and visitors having lim- 

 ited time may see the different apparatus in a 

 finished state without having to go through 

 all the factories. The improved and patented 

 machinery made by this company are adapted 

 especially for planing mills, carpenter, sash, 

 door and blind work, furniture, chair and 

 bracket factories, car, railway, bridge and

agricultural works, buggy, carriage and wagon 

 builders, and spoke, wheel and handle fac- 

 tories. The success of the machines doing the 

 wide range of work indicated in the above 

 long list can mainly be accounted for in the 

 admirable efforts of the staff of expert in- 

 ventors, and one of the best examples in their 

 unique series is the recently patented single
