| TEXT | Established in 1856, it was not until January, 1879, that the business, under its present management, assumed a leading position among the best-known and larger manufacturers in the country. The office and manufactory is located at No. 151 Market Street and occupies the second, third and fourth floors of that building, 20x75 feet in dimensions. The laundry adjoins the main building in the rear, is of ample dimensions, and occupies three floors. Every facility is in use for the business and employment is furnished to sixty experienced hands, chiefly ladies. The office and salesroom occupy the second floor and here it is that we find vast quantities of spotless white and highly polished linens ready for delivery to the trade throughout the entire United States. The "Welcome" is the specialty, although there is at present a large run upon the "Opal", a very handsome shirt and one eagerly sought after by the trade. All work is sold at the lowest prices for honest and carefully made goods, and the productions of this house are unexcelled. The gentlemen composing the firm are Mr. J. H. Kirkpatrick and Mr. J. Wilbur Smith. They are Newark men, thoroughly conversant with the details of manufacture. They have a patent on their shirts of which they make a specialty, and which consists of the bosom being attached to the body with an openedge seam, thus preventing the shirt breaking, as is usually the case in ordinary goods, at the edge of the bosom. The patent also covers a flexible back bosom, which is entirely new and which is meeting with great success. |
