Once instiled “in home it is seldom they are parted wjth, for their uncommon finish and unique - . lasting qualities make articles of furniture from this Dominion’s most' durable . timber quite a scarce commodity/ Fi»m J time to time, however, single pieces', or suites become available ■ to the/ public, and one of these rare opportunities will' present itself on Wednesday afternoon of this week; when at Webster Bros.* rooms three pieces of furniture made from the -heavy timber of the old -bridge will be sold by public auction.*
