| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The company was organized in the year 1895 for conducting the manufacture and importation of dried and candied fruits under the style of A. L. Causse Co. and continued to prosecute a most successful business under that name until January 1, 1907, at which time a new corporation was formed with an authorized capital of $100,000 and the style changed to the Causse Manufacturing and Importing Co. In the month of August of that same year a very disastrous fire completely destroyed the plant, thereby depriving the company from reaping well-earned profits. The board of directors, however, immediately decided upon reconstruction, and the firm at present occupies its original and very commodious quarters at 39 to 43 Essex Street, in the five-story 75x150 feet building adequately fitted up for the convenient and successful despatch of its large trade. This trade of candied fruits is carried on throughout the United States, but principally in the East and Middle West, where the consumption of such goods is most in favor. The company's stockholders are in the main foreigners, and engaged in the same line of business in the leading cities of Europe. The company's offices at New York City are at 60 University Place. Its president is Mr. Arthur Robert, and Mr. J. H. Freymann is vice-president. The company is a member of the Board of Trade of Jersey City, and takes an active part in the city's progress. The company is the manufacturer and importer of what
is known in the trade as the "Tropical brand" of candied fruits, which includes glace pineapple, Bigarreaux cherries, Corsican citron, lemon and orange peel, crystallized ginger and the whole line of French fruits, glace and in syrup. The goods which the company makes and imports are used extensively in all parts of this country and Europe, and their superior quality has won for them a fame that is world-wide.
The new building which the Causse Manufacturing and Importing Company now occupies is constructed of reinforced concrete with all modern improvements, and is one of the finest equipped plants in the State of New Jersey. No expense has been spared in any detail to make it all that is required for the production of those delicacies that
are enjoyed by epicures in all parts of the known world. Every article that is sent from the factory is absolutely pure, satisfying all pure food requirements and of a class that is so far superior to many others that are placed on the market as to make the name of the Causse Company of the standard that Tiffany is to jewelry, Remington to typewriters or Packard to automobiles. The result of this careful inspection is that the trade has grown to an extraordinary volume, and the mammoth factory is kept busy to its utmost capacity to supply the United States with its many and delicious products. By the same careful administration of its affairs, Jersey City has attained no small degree of fame in the East and Middle West, as well as in all other parts of the United States, for wherever the Causse products go, the name and fame of Jersey City goes with them, and the result is that many people learn of Jersey City who would otherwise be unfamiliar with its superior location and advantages. "Surely," they say, "if such a concern as the Causse Company has located in Jersey City, it is worthy of attention," and in this manner it leads to an investigation, which is of course in favor of Jersey City. Such a firm can do much as a publicity-promoter for any city in which it is located, and when the products are of such a nature as those made and
shipped by the Causse Company, the impression that Jersey City makes to the outside world cannot fail but to be a most excellent one. Jersey City may well feel proud of this successful company, which is a credit to both the city
and itself. |
