THE -FURNITURE -STORES: ;
: : Moro substan tial, > but not less v attrac"-:
tive in appearance, the stocks of the fur
niture dealers have been eagerly sought
during the past year. More handsome
furniture is to be found ;in Richmond
homes to-day, than ever before, : and hard
ly a piece oonf n it was bought out of 'the";
city. ;. Local, dealers 'carry., the yerj'; .'finest;
stocks'- to bo found- anywhere,. 'and r 'the'
people who buy have- 1 found i this ; out. ;
Among the flrms' which did a. splendid!
business ; during the past year are ' Rotheft ;

ley, ; Charles G. Jurgeris's Son, ,Ryan,
Smith & Talman, ;, James ;W. Martin,

J. H. Busby.
SHOES FOR OUR FEET. .
; But a bed to lie in , and a" chair to ; sit ;
in- are not all we need. Shoes,: for- in
stance, are indispensable. In footwear,:
Richmond ,is as well supplied as any city
in. the Union. ?Co larger or: more varied"
stocks I are carried " by; the: retail shoe
men of any city. To prove the assertion,
one has only to ; pay a visit to. some of
these stores: The Economy, The. Model
(Moses May), W; L. Douglas Shoe Com
pany, ■W. -E. Drew ■■:"&? Co., J. A_' Griggi:
Shoe Company, C. F.: Cross Shoe Com
pany, - Charles 'J. Shunian, , Diibney & 1
Johnston, and Hofheimer's. . .
' WOMEN'S : HEAD WEAR. V
Do Richmond women display/style and
good judgment .in the selection of- bon-;
nets, and hats? To' ask the. question ; is
to answer it. And -largely; responsible;
for the pleasing fact are the -milliners^
of the; leading 'establishments;^ here.*
Among the firms which have;. delighted j
their customers are Messrs. * Kaufmann
&7 C0.. : the, Cohen Company, Julius Mey-"j

ton, Mrs. Julius ; Bear, .Mrs. Celia Kass, ; !
and James Donald & Co.
■•. THE CHINA: BUSINESS; ; ;:
The china merchants increased the de-;
mand for their substantial ; and pretty ,
wares. Skilful! advertising: -about; the'
holiday time brought large' numbers of
customers to the' china, houses for pres
ents.. Throughout the entire . year .the ;E. :
B.- Taylor Company, which 1 has Broad 1
and Main-street stores, did a thriving
business. ' - _ ''■"

I Judging by the fine trade the leading

A GRAJD OLD IXSTITUTIOX.
Facts Al)ont tl»e yirginla Fire and.
Marine Insurance Comimur.
• The people of our State well have;rea
son to ;be\ proud of the Vlrßinia; Fire
aiid Marine Insurance Company, for it is
one of those time-honored , institutions
which have nobly withstood the flight-; of
years, and is to-day enjoying; .more
strength and prosperity than ever before.;
For: nearly seven . decades the "company:
has : held the public confidence and never
violated it.- After-having: passed/through
.•wars,. financial panics, and conflagrations,
that^in many respects, have .equalled—
yea, perhaps,' -exceeded— anything of. their
kind- that : the world ever, experiencedhbe
fofe, it still retains" its position for publio
"usefulness, has greatly enlarged'; its busi
ness, and by just^ and prompt payment 1 of
■ losses •. has mvl tlplied the evidences; of in
su'rance;beneficence.; '
The Virginia Fire and Marine Insurance
Company was chartered "by i the Legisla
ture: of this State, and received its first
franchise f from tho ■ State, 'on March 14,
1832. It was then known- as the ;.Virgirua
Marine ! lnsurance Company, and the; late
Isaac -, Davenport, Sr., was its first presi- ;
dent. The"' charter' subsequently was}sev
eral times amended— in the years -ISSB,
IB6O, vISGG, and on. the latter. occasion the
■ company was- authorized to .!/ take 'life
■risks ■ and, perpetualv fire risks. , The life^
insurance feature was never, undertaken,
JioweVef, but was added to the privileges
of the company merely, as! a ; possible} con-,
veniericer, Since those / days > the perpetual,
risks -have likewise been virtually,:aban
doned,-and the;'plan of insuringlfor defi
nite" premiums adopted. Ahd ? so at present
the ; aim of/ the Virginia; Fire ' and: Marine
is to' sell; insurance .that; assures. : A .well
known .mercantile periodical, speaking of
the Virginia Fire and Marine, says:' '.'lts
policies are clear . and j explicit; \ its man
agement is ■ : conservative, ; >.' : but,; r: ;:Withal,;
liberal: its -pays losses," not grudgingly/
