         [pg 66]
         
         FRIEND, JOYS & Co., dealers in dry goods, groceries, clothing
       etc. This firm is composed of ALBERT FRIEND, C. E. JOYS, and was
       established March 1, 1882, and succeeded A. FRIEND & Co. The busi-
       ness was at first conducted in the old building of MR. M. ENGEL-
       MANN, but upon the completion of MR. ENGELMANN's new block, the
       firm moved to their present elegant and spacious quarters. They
       occupy three large store-rooms, one of which is filled with dry 
       goods, another with clothing and hats and caps, and the third with
       groceries. In addition to these are a large cloak department, one
       for fine shoes, and an immense basement room for carpets, crockery
       and boots and shoes. The interior of the building is sumptuously
       furnished with the most elegant appointments, and altogether, the
       house is one of the most extensive and elegant in the Northwest.
