Located in two story building , 18×100, on East Main Street, Welland near The Opera House block, is the furniture and undertaking establishment of Mr. A. Lawrence, who has catered for Welland County patronage for the past thirteen years. Within this establishment can be found practically all that is required for the furnishing of any apartment from kitchen to attic, including bedding, window shades, portierres and draperies, every article thus exposed being up-to-date in design. Upon the lower floor is a commodious office and an upholstering department, together with various designs in dining room furniture, as also a well stocked carpet department, wherein can be procured carpetings of all grades, rugs, mattings, oil cloths. and linoleums, while the large portion of the floor above is given over to parlor and chamber suites, the former upholstered in the latest prevailing styles, and at prices that are within reasonability. If upholstering or repairing be required, this form can do it in as short a possible time, and at as little expense as any establishment in the Niagara peninsula. Picture framing is another feature, and they are enabled to furnish mouldings of any pattern. Moreover,  Mr Lawrence is a practical undertaker and embalmer, and as an undertaker and funeral director is prepared to assume charge of ceremonies, and to furnish any kind of a casket, together with burial furnishings and as fine a hearse as can be found in this vicinity.

Added to all this, Mr Lawrence has a two story warehouse, 35×60, in the rear of the main building, for storage. Altogether it is the leading furniture and  undertaking emporium in he county.
