TEXTThis house dates its establishment back to the year 1850, when William J. Dudley began the manufacture of hand-made work, which, in course of time, merged into a general trade. In 1879 the business passed into the hands of the present proprietor, who has since continued to operate it successfully. He now manufactures gents' and boys' fine hand-made cable wire and Keat machine boots and shoes on an extensive scale and expressly for first-class retail trade. The trade comes from all parts of the United States, but is principally from the East, West, and New York city. The special advan tages which are offered by this house arise through the possession of unsurpassed facilities for turning out first-class work and in the purchase of stock. The manufactory occupies the second, third, and fourth floors of the building No. 268 Market Street, 25x100 feet, complete in every detail. Employment is given to one hundred hands, whose weekly wages aggregate the sum of $1,000. Mr. James Johnston, the proprietor, is known to all Newark and the trade of the country as one of the most clever and enterprising of business men. Promptness and reliability characterize his house - qualities which have had much to do with the success attained and tlie prominence gained.
