LARGE NEW QUARTERS.
The Furniture anil Carpet Depart-
ments of L. Wolfson Soon
to Occupy New Stores.
The citizen of San Antonio recollect
reading in the real estate transfers of
the purchase by L. Wolfson of the
large stores formerly occupied by A.
Staacke on Soledad and Acequia
streets. The property was purchased
from Mr. Carle of D’Hanis. Tex. and
was a necessity to Mr. Wolfson in
order to have sufficient room to carry
on his furniture and carpet depart-
ments. On May 15 having been
placed in possession of his property
Mr. Wolfson set about remodelling
the same and the two stores are now
transformed into large and improved
branches of the main store. The
furniture department will occupy the
large store which has a trontage of
30 feet on Soledad runs back 164 feet
to Acequia. The carpet department
adjoins it on the south connecting
with the main building and is 34 by
SOteet. By this addition to his pro-
perty Mr. Wolfson now has every
department of his immense establish-
ment on the grownd floor and makes
it the largest dry goods clothing and
furniture house in the South. A
great advantage also to ladies shop-
ping at Wolfson's is gained in the
fact that customers living on the
avenue C line can enter the house
from the Soledad street entrance
buy their furniture carpets etc.
and then continue on through to the
dry goods department when having
purchased every thing they desire
can return and wait at the Soledad
street entrance for car. This pur-
chase also places Mr. Wolfson’s house
within a few steps of all the street
car lines and will be a great improve-
ment in the arrangement of the
stores. In about ten days the public
will have the pleasure of
going through the grandest fur-
niture and carpet store in the
South. Mr. Wolfson entered the fu-
ture business ten years ago and
several times since then he has been
compelled to make additions to his
store in order to accomodate his large
and increasing trade this last ad-
ditions being an absolute necessity.
And yet with all the space acquired
by him he informs us that he will
occupy his new quarters only tempo-
rary when a fine structure three
stores with cellers will be built on
the site in which he intends to have
a furniture and carpet store one of
the largest in the south and west.
The Light feels it a pleasure to note
the success of such an enterprizing
and liberal house as L. Wolfson and
and feel sure that the public will
appreciate in no small degree the
desire of Mr. Wolfson to build an
establishment a credit to any city in
the country. Due notice will be
given of the opening of the new
stores.
The Misses Bothman who have for
some time been visiting friends in the city
have returned home to Galveston.

The Wool Market.
The daily receipts of this standard
fleecy staple continue to be large and the
product in good condition. The market is
firm and everybody in good spirits. At
the present rate of receipts the spring
clip will be on the market in a short time
and the season over. It is thought this
spring's clip of wool is greater in extent
than ever before in the history of tho
southwest.
