During the last few years conditions
in all lines of business, even professional
life, have changed so completely that
every man is waking up to the fact that
in order to win success lie must specialize
ami learn to do some one thing and do it
well.
So it is with any article that is sold to
the people. It must have genuine merit
or no amount of advertising will maip.tain
the demand for the article.
For many years we have watched with
much interest the remarkable record
maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the t;rt:at Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy. From the very beginning the
proprietors had so much confidence in it
that they invited every one to test it,
free of cost, before purchasing.
It is a physician's prescription.
They have on file thousands ?>! letters
received from former sufferers who arc
now enjoying good health as. a result of
its use.

Grand Opening
Magnificent Furniture Store at Seventh
and Grace Streets?Visited
By Crowds.
BUSINESS INVADES RESIDENCE STREET
Six Floors Packed With Furniture?Hundred
and Fourteen Thousand Square Feet
of Room.
The formal opening yesterday of
the new and magnificent furniture
store of Sydnor & Hundley, Incor?
porated, at Seventh and Grace Streets,
In perhaps the beginning of a new era
In at lfast a part of the larger retail
business of Richmond. It marks the
start of business to Grace Street,
which ever since Richmond has been
a town has been strictly a residential
thoroughfare. It Is known tliat other
large Rroad Street stores urn arrang?
ing for a Grace Street entrance, and
some are expected to move bodily to
Grace as soon as handsome residences
can be removed and othor houses
erected for commercial purposes. It
hps also been whispered that some
Main Street merchants have their
eyes on Grace.
The new building Into which the
big furniture firm have moved their
enormous stock 'Is an ornament to
business Richmond, and Is a structure
that larger cities might well be proud
of. It was planned especially for tho
retail furniture business. Including
the basement, there nre six floors, each
having 19.000 square feet of space,
making in all 114.000 square feel.
There are freight an<j passenger ele?
vators connecting all of the floors,
which are run by electricity. The en?
tire building Is electrically lighted and
steam heated, and each floor Is
equipped with waiting rooms, wash
rooms, etc.
The basement Is arranged for all
manner of summer goods and for all
classes of kitchen furniture, refrig?
erators, stoves, heaters, etc., each in
separate department spaces.
Five linn, i?, mi,- Floors.
The first, or street floor, is given
over to an assortment of general
stock, being largely cut off with
screens Into room and office' effects.
The eastern end of this floor from the
Grace Street centre door to the wall
Is given over to office furniture, and
here is displayed desks, tables office
chairs, riling cabinets, both in wood
md metal, and. in fact, every con?
ceivable thing required to fit up nn
office with an eye to convenience busi?
ness, comfort and style. Just to the
north of this Is the shipping room, a
large and light apartment, equipped
with every facility for handling goods,
and Just to the north of it is the load?
ing court. In which the wagons and
automobile trucks come under cover
and can be loaded and unloaded In all
kinds of weather. Along the Seventh
Street side of this floor, and extending
around on the Grace Street side to
the centre door are the beautiful room
effects, in which are displayed com?
pleted parlors, sitting rooms, hall
rooms, bedrooms, etc. The northwest
corner Is reserved for the display of
Ruck's ranees. Richmond-made stoves,
gas ranges and heiters and oil stoves.
This Is to he mad*1 an Important de
partment. On this floor and on the
mezzxlnlne connecting It with the sec- I
ond floor are the private nnd business
offices of the officer? of the company,
all of which are handsomely furnished
and equipped.
Second and Third Floors.
The northern half of the second
floor Is devoted exclusively to the .
carpet department, which is in charge
of Dan Weymouth. and here is dis?
placed on enormous stock of carpets, ,
rugs nnd druggets, imported and do- I
mestic. and all klrds or' mattings and
other floor coverings. The southern,
or Grace Street, side of this floor is
given over to dining room furniture,
comprising everything from the cheap- |
est otk sets to the most beautiful of |
colonial and chertton sets.
. The third floor Is devoted to portor
living room and library room Broods,
aim In It the crowds which visited
the stores yesterday found evcrythlim
from the most luxuriant Davenporlo
to the ' cheapest three-piece parlor
suits. On this Iloor also there la a
magnificent display of the ??Period"
furniture and antiques. The northeast
corner of the spnrlous room Is cut off
for the display of "mission" suits, the
I heavy block furniture used In living
, and lounging rooms for Its great com?
fort, a kind of furniture said to havn
' been Invented by the euae-lovipa,
j Monks of bygone days.
All Manner of Bedrooms.
The fourth floor is devoted exclu?
sively to bedroom furniture, the rich
mahogany and colonial suits predomi?
nating yesterday, but dainty pieces of
i cheaper character were also lri evi?
dence. Perhaps the most beautiful seen
here are the French gray enamelled
suits, which are now coming so much
I In favor. Bird's eye maple and white
: enamelled room suits were also great?
ly admired. Brass and metal beds are
there In profusion, and especially no
j tlcoable was a line of costumers, ex
j tending the whole length of the
Seventh Street side of this fourth
I floor. The men folks are not over- .
looked on this floor, and many visi?
tors admired the display of gent's
i chefflrobes, a piece of furniture which
Is several pieces in one, and Is an old
bachelor's delight, as well as exceed?
ingly popular with the married man
who has a "den" of his own in his
house.
The fifth or top floor Is at present
I used exclusively for duplicate stock.
I hut half of It Is soon to be made a
j display floor also.
Scene of Beanty.
' While the company has been doing
business in this new and model butld
; ing for several days, the formal open?
ing took pluce yesterday. From 3
' o'clock to 5:30 In the afternoon hun?
dreds upon hundreds of ladles and not
; a few men visited the establishment.
I and while Thllow's grand orchestra
? discoursed sweet music they were
shown all of the floors and the beau
i t|fnl contents. Again at night from
] S:30 to 11 o'clock throngs visited the
store, the men probably predominat?
ing. Again to the strains of sweet
music the people walked the br'lllant
ly lighted floors and expressed In
terms of highest praise their admira?
tion of what many of them declared
to be one of the handsomest mer?
cantile establishments they had ever
! visited, perhaps the best arranged and
j best equipped retail furniture store to
be found anywhere in the South out
j side of Virginia.
Old and Popular Firm.
I The old firm of Sydnor & Hundley
1 's known all ov*r Virginia, having
! been in the furniture business on
