ANTHONY'S CHINA HALL,
BROADWAY AND KAIGHN'S AVENUE

ONE of the oldest and most favorably thought of houses in this neighborhood is Anthony's China Hall, this business having been here many years, the present proprietor's son, H. B. Anthony, having established the business in 1868, and the present proprietor took hold of it January I4th, 1878.

The store is about 20x80 feet in dimension. Two floors are used as show rooms. Here may be found one of the most complete stocks in the city. All kinds and descriptions of China and Glassware abound as well as a large Lamp Department, in which may be found all the newest and handsomest designs, as well as a full line of Lamp Fittings. A large House Furnishing Goods Department is also run, in which everything of the kind may be found.

Six capable and genial assistants are employed. The Store is fitted with electric lights and is one of the handsomest in this section.

Mr. Anthony is a native of Northumberland, Northumberland County, Pa., but has been a resident of the city thirty-five years..
