A cursory description of this artistic piece of handiwork may assist our readers in obtaining a slight idea of its superb beauty, but to appreciate it as it stands in all its grandeur, iit must be seen.

Webb's store; it nuipt be of unusual length and capacity, to meet the growing demands of a growing and it must be practical and convenient, in order to handle the greatest number of customers in shortest possible time. As evidence of how well these conditions wore fulfilled, we quote the following tetter written by Webb to "THE LIQUID" (by wlm-h name the manufacturers are familiarly known) of his entire satisfaction with his fountain: "THE PKOOF OF THE PUDDING."
