| TEXT | This eminent house was established in 1856 by Mr. L. Littell, who has always conducted it with marked ability, liberality, and energy, and in the most successful manner. In 1872 he admitted his son, Mr. H. M. Littell, to an interest in the business. The business carried on comprises hardware of every kind, builders' hardware being a special branch, and includes every article in that line of trade; also mechanics' tools, farmers' tools, iron and steel, machine belting, steam packing and factory supplies, rope, cordage, twine, and tackle blocks. An im mense stock is always carried and a large and widespread busmess conducted. The store and warehouse is a large brick structure, having a frontage on Broad Street, at No. 496, of twenty-five feet, with a depth of sixty feet, extending to another large building fronting on Bridge Street and numbered 10 on that thoroughfare, the whole forming an L, and is one of the largest business houses in the upper section of the city. Mr. L. Littell is a native of Essex County and has been in Newark since 1835. He is a gentleman of high character, great energy, business ability and extended popularity, and ranks high among the mer cantile community. He is a public-spirited and liberal citizen and is always alive to the city's interest. His son and partner, Mr. H. M. Littell, is an industrious young merchant and enjoys the confidence and esteem of the commercial community. Hûtton & Bliss Manufacturers of Men's Fine Hand sewed Boots and Shoes 216 Market Street In many of the most important branches of industry the city of Newark has attained a proud preeminence among the cities of the world, and perhaps in no single line has that city acquired a more enviable reputation than in the manufacture of fine boots and shoes. While New England for many years ruled the markets of the Union and supplied a large proportion of the ready-made boots and shoes, the enterprise of Newark manufacturers has of late years been successful in bringing this city prominently to the front in the production of these important articles of commerce. Among the leading houses engaged extensively in this branch of industry that of Hutton & Bliss is probably the oldest in the business and one of the largest in the city. The business was originally established in 1850 by the firm of Mr. B. and I. Canfield, who were succeeded in 1879 by Messrs. Hutton & Bliss, the present enterprising firm. For more than a quarter of a century the trade of this house has been steadily increasing, and the annual sales at the present time reach several hundred thousand dollars. They carry at all times a full assortment of the finest grades of men's fine hand-sewed boots and shoes, especially adapted to the best city trade. The trade extends from Maine to California, and is chiefly with the largest dealers of the larger cities. The capital invested in the business is abundant, and the firm is thus enabled to offer extraordinary inducements to buyers of strictly first-class goods. The stock is selected expressly with a view to accommodating a fine trade and only the best work is cut. The office, salesroom, store-room, and manufactory occupy the ihird, fourth, and fifth floors of the magnificent iron front building No. 216 Market Street, each floor being 25x100 feet in size and provided with every facility and convenience known to the business. Employment is given only to expert workmen, who number from sixty to seventy, and the average weekly pay-roll amounts to nearly $1,000. Each pair of boots or shoes leaving the establishment is carefully inspected and neatly boxed in paper boxes before being cased. The gentlemen constituting the firm are Mr. J. Hutton and Mr. A. A. Bliss. Both are New York men of extensive experience, business qualifications, and ability, thoroughly conversant with all the details of the business and the requirements of the trade. |
