| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | This, though a new firm, and an addition of great importance to the manufacturing industries of Newark, is composed of gentlemen of great practical business experience in the trade, and, in the short period since they succeeded to the enterprise, less than a year ago, they have gained a prominent rank and made a large connection all over the country. The business had been previously established two years by Meyott & Co., whom the present firm succeeded. The store and factory are of brick and occupy two floors, 40x100 feet in extent, with an "L" 20x30 feet, all fitted and equipped with the necessary machinery for the trade and operated by a steam engine of twenty-five-horse power. The stock carried is an ample one, and is composed of lamps and brass goods, sheet brass, German silver, brass wire, rods and tubing, copper rivets and burs, and bears a representative value of 10,000. A large trade is done, mostly with New York houses, the sales being estimated at 50,000 per annum. Thirty-five experienced hands find employment in the several departments of the house. All the products of the concern are of the finest class of work and of the best quality. Messrs. Cook & Morris are also agents for the Rome Iron Works, of Rome, N. Y., whose goods are among the most popular in the trade and need no comment to sell them. Mr. W. A. Cook, Jr., the senior member of the firm, is a native of Detroit, and a young and practical man, who has spent twelve years with the house of P. Hayden. His partner, Mr.D. H. Morris, is a native of New Jersey, and late a partner of the house of Morris & Doty, extensively engaged in the dry goods trade in the city of Newark. |
