TEXTEvery branch of industry has its leading house doing an exclusive trade in its line of business and Newark is not an exception in this respect, and we find in 1850, now over a period of thirty-two years ago, Mr. C. Garrabrant founded one of the most extensive establishments in the boot and shoe industry. The store building is a three-story brick, 20x80 feet in extent, all of which is utilized under the requirements of the trade. The first floor being the salesroom, the second is used for the cutting out the work, and the third is devoted to the manufacturing branch of the business. Three cutters and from fifteen to twenty-five experienced workmen find constant employment in making up goods for the house, all the work being manufactured on the premises, and is sold solely by this firm at retail, although they deal extensively in goods of other manufacture. The amount of stock generally carried is 15,000, and consists of a full line of" the finest class of boots and shoes of every grade for ladies and gentlemen, etc. There is a large connection formed and the trade done is extensive, the sales running to 60,000 and upward per annum. Custom work is done and is made a specialty in the. business. Mr. Garrabrant is a native of New Jersey and has spent nearly all his life at the trade. This is the only house in Newark who make a first-class fine hand-made shoe both for ladies and gentlemen ; they achieved a reputation in Newark by the excellence of their work and honorable and square dealing. They use nothing but imported stock and pay the highest prices for making. The firm is too well known to need further comment at our hands.
