THEMABeschreibung
TEXTThis excellent house was founded in 1827 by Nathaniel C. Ball, who conducted the business successfully up to 1870, when the present proprietor, Mr. Hugh Kinnard, was admitted to partnership, and the firm became N. C. Ball & Co. In 1879 Mr. Kinnard became the sole proprietor, and a fresh impetus was given to the already large trade enjoyed. He carries a large stock of paints, oils, glass, varnishes, paper hangings, decorations, window shades, etc., and does painting, paper hanging and decorating in all its branches. The finest and best work executed in the city is by this representative house, and only the most expert workmen, some eighty in number, are employed. His store is a finely fitted modern one, provided with every convenience, and a degree of neatness pervades the entire premises. It is 25x100 feet in dimensions and the stock is beautifully arranged and displayed. The trade comes from throughout the city and surrounding country and has increased very rapidly of late years, especially so in the department for fine paper hangings and decorations. Mr. Kinnard is a native of New York State, coming to Newark in his childhood. Some thirtythree years ago he entered the employ of Mr. Ball, as a practical painter, and here he spent all his life down to the present, passing from the lowest round of the ladder to the top, and becoming the sole proprietor of the house which he had entered in the humble capacity of an apprentice boy. This result was accomplished through industry, honesty, perseverance and energy, sure factors of success in the end. As a business man he has few superiors, as a skilled mechanic in both painting and paper hanging he ranks with the best, while as an esteemed citizen he enjoys the respect and confidence of the entire community.
