| TEXT | In the year 1870 Mr. Alsdorf located in Newark and engaged in the sewing machine business in a small way, which he has through his untiring efforts worked up to its present dimensions and made the leading establishment in its line in the city. The New Home Machine is his specialty, although machines of all kinds are dealt in and repairing is intelligently done. His store and salesroom is 40 x 60 feet in dimensions, is finely fitted up, and is completely stocked with the several grades of machines from the plain to the most expensive and ornamental. Prices are the lowest at which sewing machines can be sold and complete satisfaction is guaranteed in every particular. A large force of salesmen and well posted assistants are employed, who serve customers in the most courteous and pleasant manner. Mr. Alsdorf is a native of Ulster County, New York State, and located in Newark as above stated. He is a thorough-going, active business man, with few superiors as a salesman, and is a manager of ability and commendable enterprise. His career began as a school teacher and afterward principal of a public school at Newburg, New York, at which place he subsequently ventured in the mercantile business. This he continued successfully for several years and at the same time was an active member of the Board of Education, being chairman of Committee on Teachers, also captain of a rifle company which served for a while in the late war. He relinquished this business to engage in freighting on the North River, in partnership with Col. John Bodine of the the American Rifle Team. His next venture was in the brick manufacturing business at Paterson, N. J., from which place he came to Newark. As a pension claim agent he also does a thriving business and is eminently qualified for the duties in connection therewith. |
