In one department of many: part of the furniture show-room, 1909. Baxendales premises in Miller Street, Manchester. 'The great whole-sale house of Baxendale and Co. is at once a mercantile and manufacturing firm...[It] manufactures or supplies the retail trades with [almost] every requisite, necessity, or luxury, whether for the private house, industrial undertaking, or municipality...Baxendales defies description by reason of its wonderful variety and comprehensiveness...the show-rooms [are] replete with all that is best and newest in furniture, in glassware, and in silverware, avenues of suites, of mirrors, and of ornaments - rooms worthy to rank with the great "store" show-rooms of the Metropolis. One floor alone contains over half an acre of beautiful things, and if you like beautiful things, then be sure to call and enjoy them when next in Manchester. The firm has branches in Dublin, Edinburgh, and Liverpool'. From a supplement to the "Illustrated London News", 1909.
