A town on its own line is one of the directory's headings. That is where the town on a maker's page comes from.
1Wenzel of Charleston.
2A N addition has lately been made to the music store of Mr. Theo. Wenzel, in King street, which from its elaborateness and beauty of detail calls for more than a passing notice. The annex is situated at the rear of the former store, and opens into it by means of large glass doors, which reach to the ceiling and extend across the entire width of the store. A handsome fringed curtain of dark magenta plush is tastefully draped across the entrance and throws a beautiful rosy light into the room beyond. On the right there stands a massive writing desk, with all the paraphernalia connected with writing—arevolving chair, scrap basket, blotters, pen rack, ink bottles, ruler, &c. A desk lamp stands on one side of the desk and adds greatly to the luxurious appearance of the room. The lamp is a gas stand in the form of a miniature street lamp, such as is seen in European thoroughfares. Half a dozen globe lights branch out in various directions, candelabra fashion, from the tree shaped stand.
4A round Turkish divan of red plush occupies the centre of the apartment. The pinnacle of the divan is surrounded by an elaborately carved Mexican onyx urn, filled with tropical plants. A nickel plated heater, some 4 or 5 feet high, keeps the air of the hall a summer temperature. The music hall is itself 148 feet in length by 30 feet in width and 16 feet in height. A skylight reaching the entire extent of the ceiling and various oval shaped windows set at regular intervals along the walls let in the light and sunshine.
6Beveled mirrors, framed in gold, and attractively gotten up advertisements of the various makes of pianos in which Mr. Wenzel deals adorn the walls. Massive bronze chandeliers, imported from Germany, hang from the ceiling.
8The end of the spacious hall is occupied by the pipe organ which formerly stood in Grace Church. It was built
