So grateful are the proprietors of the Norwalk Boston store for the im‘ mense business of the past season in spite of the dull times, that they wish to show their appreciation of the pat- ronage bestowed on them by distribut- ing a large number of Christmas pres- ents amongst their customers. In this limited Space it would be impossible to enumerate all the articles they intend to give away, but amongst them are a ton of coal, a barrel of flour, tw'o sow- ing machines, a 56 piece tea set, a tur- key, a ring, several pounds of tea and coffee, several bags of flour, a ham, a pair of lace curtains, a pair of portiere curtains, a lamp, an oil painting, a crayon portrait, a wool dress pattern, ladies and Misses cloaks, several dol- lars worth of sugar, muffs, fur capes, kid gloves, umbrellas, neckties, suits of underwear, and hundreds of other articles. Call at the Boston store, cor. Main and Wall streets, for full infor- mation concerning the manner in which these articles are to be distributed. Gloak Department //fl$’/ An extraordinary example of what human skill can produce in weaving a textile fabric can be seen on exhibltion at the Norwalk Boston Store. This is- a copy of Stuart’s famous portrait of George “’ashington, woven entirely on the loom without printing or touching up of any sort. It almost shakes one’s credulity to be told that the work is entirely the result of the weaver’s skill. Yet such is the fact. This marvel, which was one of the sensations of C icago, . is composed of 600,000 threads of silk, made on a Jacquard pattern, which re- quired-25,000 cards, and which took the labor of some of the best experts in the world, using the finest appliances of Lyons, two and onehalf years to pro- duce. It cost $8,000 to make the first copy of this masterpiece, and every ad, ditional copy takesthree expert weav- ers two and one-half month to manu- facture. The delicate shading is ob- tained by an ingenious use of three looms, requiring the most careful man- ipulation by the best experts in the world. This wonder of the loom is more than a mere curiosity. It is really a work of art, and as such is worthy of the closest study.
