Our assortments are larger and better, and our prices lower, than those of any other store in Brooklyn. Convince yourself by asking for samples and prices. The fruits of our workroom can be found in the principal establishments in every state of the Union, wherever fashion and style prevails, which naturally entails upon us the necessity of only employing the mcst fertile Designers and Trimmers, and of continually keeping on hand a large and Artistic display of the latest Paris and Ijondon Conceptions, independent of the many designs of our own creation.

KOCH'S. i flic: WORLD COLUMBIAN EXHIBITION WECHSLER BROS. NEW STORE. This monumental buildinc; with its magnificent granite nnd limestone front on Fulton street iMs to height of seven stories, the whole, capped by a handsome tower that stands almost ty feet above the rest of the building. The columns that support the great doorway and flic urches of the windows are ornamented as profusely as the stone mason's art will permit.

the Dnffield street side the building is scarcely Ipss imposing. Here the structure occupies ISO feet frontage, while on Fulton street the measurement only lacks a few inches of 100 1 net. It extends hack from the latter thoroughfare 275 feet. Its total height to the capstone of the tower is ICO feet. Its interior appointments will, it is safe to say, gratify even the most exacting shoppor.

The view from the center of the main floor is remarkably fine. There one turns an upward glance at the proportions of a great rotunda that opens up a vista to the very roof of the tower. At every floor th: railing that surrounds this great opening grows narrower in circumference, thus imparting a perfect domo shapped appearance. To give any idea of the magnitude of the building, it is, perhaps, better to begin a description of its interior, front the sub basement up. In this section are the electric dynamos that supply the'eurrenr for the two thousand arc and incandescent lights with which the building is illuminated hero are the great furnaces that supply the beat for the establishment; here are the apartments where those in charge of the delivery wagons receive their goods, and hero, too.

are well appointed rooms where the employes of the establishment can hare refreshments during lunch hour. In many respects the basement proper is one of the most attractive portions of the establishment. It is finished, like the rest of the interior, in hard wood, ash being largely used in its construction. The basement is almost entirely utilized for the display" of crockerv. glass, china and porcelain.

When the electric lights are turned on in the evening, the basement, with its shelves and tallies of cut glass, reflecting the rays of the lamps, is particularly beautiful. Every variety of ware used for service or ornament in the household is to be seen here. Costly vases and statuettes, lamps with polished onyx and brass stands, dinner and tea sets, ranging in prices and design to suit every pocketbook and every taste, marble clocks of all grades and makes, crystal goblets, wine glasses, handsome plate glass mirrorj and other articles of value and beauty are here displnyod to the gaze of the purchaser. The cash system of the establishment, which is fitted with pneumatic tubes, is that of the Boston Meteor Dispatch Company. It terminates in the basement.

On the main floor wide aisles obviate much of the discomforts attendant upon shopping during the Christmas holidays and at other crowded seasons. The great windows atford ample light, and everything is arranged on the best and most approved plans. On either side of the Fulton street entrance stand the counters and shelves of the Fancy Goods Departments. This includes ribbons, jewelry, gloves, fans, perfumes, hosiery and optical goods. Plate glass stands, which are used for fine pottery, stand on either side of the main doorway.

Hero. also, are the Cane and Umbrella Departments. In the rear wing of the building on this floor are the dress goods, woolen and linen counters, together with other attractive features. Near the angle formed by the junction of the two portions of the building are the offices occupied by the cashier and manager. Between the first and second floors a balconv projects some distance.

This is used as a ladies' parlor. It is handsomelv carpeted and furnished with every imaginary deeription of oasy chairs, and from the railing which surrounds it one can obtain a splendid view of the main part of the building. Die second floor contains the Millinery Department the Ladies' Cloaks and Furs also occupy a part of the Fulton street front of this floor, and three apartments are provided for the purpose of fitting garments. The Shoes and Children's Cloaks and Underwear find a place on the Duffield street wing of this floor.
