| TEXT | In this utilitarian age the beautiful has been made to join hands with nearly all that ia practical and attractive in every-day life, and in no sphere of action has the progress of enterprise been more marked and successful than in the attractive field of art needlework and embroidery. In this connection we desire to render a deserved tribute to a lady who has labored with more than an ordinary degree of success in this broad field of activity, and to whom the ladies of the United States are deeply indebted for the wherewithal to make home beautiful, and to secure the accomplishment of which, the materials can now be obtained in inexhaustible variety, and at most reasonable prices, in Mrs. Farnham's emporium. It was in November, 1880, that she first started in business, and the results have been in the highest degree satisfactory to all concerned. Her qualifications and experience are of the most superior character, and she gives her large business that close personal supervision so essential to its permanent success. She occupies a splendidly fitted up and spacious store at No. 10 West 14th Street, but a few doors from Fifth Avenue, and where is displayed the largest and best assorted stock of goods in her line to be found in the city. She keeps a beautiful collection of elegant and artistic hand-embroideries, and which form the finest decorations for the home. She promptly attends to all orders in the departments of stamping and designing, enabling customers to have their wants attended to while they wait. Here can be purchased both at wholesale and retail all materials for embroidery, crewels, silks, chenilles, arrasene, plushes, satins, felts, German-town wools, Saxony yarn, worsteds, knit goods, etc., also perforated patterns, church designs, monograms, etc., are made to order. The business has justly attained proportions of the greatest magnitude, and this establishment is the favorite purchasing point in these lines for both the ladies of this city and the country at large. A force of forty clerks and upward are constantly required, and in the busy holiday season Mrs. Farnham has been obliged to increase her staff of assistants to as high a number as one hundred and eighty, thus enabling her to promptly fill the thousands of orders pouring in upon her and satisfy everybody. Her materials for all forms of needlework represent the most complete assortment and the best quality possible to be obtained, and ladies once purchasing here become permanent patrons thereafter. Among other sorts of embroidery for which she supplies all the requisite materials are Kensington work, rococo or ribbon embroidery, darned work, braiding, tufted stitch, arrasene (new and beautiful), applique work. Ladies can forward their own materials to her for stamping and all orders will be executed with neatness and de spatch. Lessons are given in all the various stitches, in shading and general effect, by competent lady artists, who make a specialty of teaching. Another important feature of Mrs. Farnham's business is that persons living at a distance from New York can send to her for any article they may want, as she has unequalled facilities for purchasing at the very lowest jobbing rates from the largest and most reliable importing houses in the city; and in dress goods, underwear, millinery, boots, shoes, hosiery, etc., she can guarantee prompt and satisfactory filling of orders. She can procure laces, velvets, etc., cheaper than the parties could buy here for themselves personally. Mrs. Farnham has manifested a commendable degree of enterprise in her sphere of action, and issues a beautifully illustrated descriptive catalogue and price list, which should be in every household in the land. Her wholesale trade is also an important feature, and as she carries the largest line of fine goods of any embroidery house in the city, she can guarantee satisfaction and lowest prices. Mrs. Farnham has taken a new and meritorious departure in her branch of trade, and conducting it upon such equitable and honorable business principles, she well deserves the high degree of popularity to which, she has attained, and her establishment is in every respect the representative concern of its kind in New York. |
