Stewart & Ellwood

In looking over the mercantile institutions of North Manchester it is pleasant to note the advancement that has been made in all directions, and this improvement is as noticeable in the furniture and undertaking business as in any other quarter. Stewart & Ellwood are among the solid and substantial business men of the city and their furniture and undertaking establishment in Union block, East Main street, shows for itself what success its owners have had since they embarked in business, about twenty-one years ago.

Their stock requires three floors, 156x20, for its accommodation and each of the three floors is packed with furniture of every description. Their stock is first-class and includes everything kept in an up-to-date furniture and undertaking establishment. From the firm hold Messrs. Stewart & Ellwood have on the furniture trade of North Manchester it is evident they treat their customers fairly in regard to quality of goods and the prices at which the same are sold.

Messrs. Stewart & Ellwood have a first class undertaking department connected with their store, and the greatest care and kindness is manifested by them in all work in this department. Their stock of caskets and burial robes is the largest carried by any undertaking firm in North Manchester, and their long experience in this line of their business enables them to give satisfaction where others would fail.
