B. STEPHENS, Jr.

Upholstery and Furniture Warehouse
No. 129 Atlantic Street, near Henry Street.-

One of the oldest and most successful houses in this line is that of Mr. 
B. Stephens, Jr. This popular establishment was founded forty-four years 
ago by the uncle of the present proprietor, and from a small beginning it 
has grown to be one of the most extensive in the trade. The founder was 
succeeded by his nephew, Mr. B. Stephens, Jr., in 1880, and the latter, 
who is a native of England, has had life training in the business, and is 
conversant with its every detail. 

The premises occupied for the business consist of a brick building of four 
stories and a basement, standing on an area of 25x80 feet. The store is very 
tastefully fitted up throughout; the salesroom is lighted by two fine show 
windows, and contains a fine display of elegant parlor, chamber, dining-room, 
library, and drawing- room suites, richly upholstered. 

Fifteen hands are employed in the business, and the house has the best of 
facilities for promptly filling all orders, and in the most satisfactory manner. 

The business relations of Mr. Stephens are widespread, and, in addition to 
furnishing the best of furniture to customers at bottom prices, the concern 
deals in all kinds of upholstery goods, lace curtains, and curtain materials 
of every description. The house is so well known, and has retained its old 
customers for so long a time, that its reputation for honorable and 
straightforward dealing is established beyond the requirements of praise.
