| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | Among the varied industries which have aided in estabUshing for the city of Newark her present proud pre-eminence as the chief manufacturing city of the State and the tenth in importance in the United States, none have contributed more to that end than the manufacture of superior grades of boots and shoes, which is carried on in this city to a greater extent than elsewhere in the State, and the business will compare favorably with any city of the Union. Prominent among the business houses largely interested in this branch of industry may be mentioned that of L. Boyden & Co., at Nos. 206 and 208 Market Street, which was founded in 1844, and removed to the present quarters in 1862. Three entire floors, each 30x90 feet, embracing the second, third and fourth stories of the building, are in use, and are thoroughly equipped with all the requisite machinery of the latest improved designs and styles for the manufacture of the finer and better grades of gentlemen's boots, shoes and gaiters. From one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five skilled and experienced workmen are employed at this factory. No common grades are manufactured, all work turned out here being of the first class. The trade is derived from the leading dealers in fine goods throughout the United States. The individual members of the firm are Mr. L. Boyden and his son-in-law, Mr. Hiram J. Fonda. Both are native Jerseymen and long residents of the city of Newark. As a firm, Messrs. L. Boyden & Co. stand among the most prominent of their contemporaries, and are heartily commended in every respect as being honorable and reliable gentlemen with whom to establish business relations. |
