| TEXT | The interior decorations of the Produce Exchange have excited general admiration, both for uniqueness of design and excellence of execution. They are the work of Mr. Henry Berger, the subject of this sketch, and are an enduring evidence of his skill as a designer, sculptor and decorator. Among the large number of other handsome interiors which he has provided may be mentioned those in A. T. Slewart's mammoth emporium, the chaste and quiet beauty of which produces so pleasing an effect. The house of Henry Berger dates its establishment as far back as 1856, it having been located in its present premises since 1860. The reputation of the house, of which it is almost superfluous to speak here, has extended throughout the country, and has induced an immense and constantly increasing trade. A specialty is made of centre-pieces and floral decorations, and there is no house in this country which carries a larger or more complete assortment. As a designer Mr. Berger has earned an enviable reputation, and the results of his efforts are to be seen in the houses of many of our leading families. Special attention is given to the filling of country orders, and the large force of skilled workmen employed and the special faculties possessed for the prompt nnd effective execution of orders afford extra inducements to intending purchasers. Mr. Berger has associated with him in business his three sons; all of whom seem to have inherited their father's inventive genius, executive ability and peculiar aptness for the avocation pursued. |
