He who treads to-day on velvet Axminster or yielding Brussels does not stop to think of the wishes and desires of his English ancestors. The products of the looms of to-day are works of art, and they are no longer confined to the homes of the opulent, the economy of steam production placing them within the means of nearly all our citizens. A leading and prominent carpet warehouse in Fifth Avenue is that of the Fifth Avenue Carpet Company, which was established in 1883 as an incorporated institution under the laws of the State of New York. The premises occupied are very commodious and occupy two floors one hundred and twenty-five by fifty feet in area, which are furnished with all modern conveniences and appliances that good taste and enterprise can suggest.
