THEMA	Beschreibung
TEXT	The gentlemen composing this firm are both natives of this city and were born on the very street where now stands the factory they operate. Established in 1876, on a capital of about 4,000, which has since been augmented, it may now safely be placed at 12,000. They carry a stock of 9,000 and transact an annual business of from 10,000 to 12,000. Their factory is two stories high and 50x100 feet in size, and is divided into four departments, viz.: Wood-working, Blacksmithing, Trimming and Painting. Ten hands are employed, with a pay-roll amounting to 110 per week. The work turned out embraces Barouches, Doctors Phaetons, Jaggers and Buck Wagons, etc. This concern is noted for the excellence of their work, employing none but the best mechanics and using only the best material. Coach work made to order is one of the specialties of this house. The success attending this establishment is evidence of its appreciation by the citizens.
