| TEXT | Mr. Plumb, of this firm, founded the first house in the manufacture of fine clocks in the State of New Jersey, or, in fact, in the United States, being in every respect equal to the best French or Swis.= makes imported into America, one year ago. This enterprise occupies as a factory the second floor of the large brick building at No. 289 Washington Street, 70x40 feet in extent, now giving employment to twenty-five experienced mechanics. The machinery used is of the most approved construction and is operated by a steam-engine of five-horse power. The cases and all the works of the clocks are made in the factory and are of the finest class and nnish, the clocks being suited to the parlor table, dressing table, office desks or for carriages. The stock carried is limited, as most of the work done is on order, and sales are estimated at the rate of $50,000 per annum, the trade done being mostly with Boston, Philadelphia, New York and Chicago, with houses in the trade. Mr. D. S. Plumb is practically conversant with all its details. Mr. Marcus is a young man well known to the trade. He is a son of Herman Marcus, the well-known jeweler of John Street, New York. We predict for the house a career of business prosperity. The present firm dates from September 15th, |
