| TEXT | Of which James L. Harway & Co., of 27 Cliff Street, New York City, are the proprietors, erected at Green Point, L.I., during 1866 and 1867, are the most complete, costly and extensive Works of the kind in the United States or Europe. The main building is one hundred and forty feet in length, eighty feet wide, and four stories high; connected with this is a two-story structure one hundred and thirty-six feet long and thirty-six feet in width. The machinery for cutting and grinding Dye-Woods, and for making extracts, the engines, and all the internal arrangements, are of the most modern and approved description, and on a scale corresponding with the extent of the buildings. Their storage yard, with a capacity for storing ten thousand tons of Dye-Woods, is covered with a net-work of railroads, facilitating greatly the rapid receipt and discharge of their unmanufactured and manufactured products. The firm of James L. Harway & Co. are the successors of William Partridge & Son, who commenced the business in 1798, and consequently were the oldest as well as one of the largest houses in the Dye-Wood trade. In the course of their business career, this firm contributed essentially to the constantly increasing excellence of American fabrics by providing manufactories at all times with Dyes of superior quality, and introducing to their notice, from time to time, new and valuable substances, which have since become articles of large consumption. The present firm is composed of James L. Harway, formerly a copartner with Mr. Partridge, Joseph C. Baldwin, and John W. Harway, who were originally clerks in the old house. All of the partners have a practical and minute acquaintance with the details of their business, and are proficient judges of the articles which they manufacture and import. Messrs. Harway & Co. have an established trade of vast extent, reaching not only to all parts of this country, but to Europe and the East Indies, and this fact is evidence of their integrity and honorable dealing, which, conjoined with their experience and qualifications, afford the best guarantee to buyers that their purchases will be such as represented. Messrs. Harway & Co. are now giving special attention to the manufacture of Extract of Logwood, - a Dye of large consumption both in the United States and Europe. |
