| TEXT | The manufacture of hats was one of the industries started at an early period in Newark, and one that has maintained its position in the foremost lanks of profitable indiistries. A representative establishment engaged extensively in this line of manufacture is that of A. M. Fairchild, whose factory occupies the premises No. 450 Market Street, corner of Congress Street, and was established in 1866 by Fairchild & McGowan, and in 1881 Mr. A. M. Fairchild became the sole proprietor. He now conducts a first-class trade throughout the United States, and is engaged in the manufacture of stiff and soft hats exclusively. The main structure is of frame, 30x150 feet in dimensions, three stories in height, with a basement of similar dimensions. Two hundred hands are employed and two forty-horse-power boilers supply the power for the machinery and heat the premises by steam. Soft and stiff felt hats of every description are turned out in enormous quantities, while the goods here manufactured sustain an excellent reputation in the market for their superiority and finish. Mr. Fairchild, the sole proprietor, is a native of Bloomfield, New Jersey. He located in Newark in 1866 to engage in his present business and has ever since remained the head of the reputable house that now bears his name alone. |
