| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | This is one of the most important establishments of the kind in the country. It was established in 1868 by F. C. Butler & Co., who applied themselves diligently to business. They were succeeded by the present firm, who to-day are the foremost representatives of the industry in which they are engaged, with an invested capital of about 75,000, and an annual amount of finished productions to the value of 200,000. The factory and salesrooms comprise two four-storied brick buildings 40x100 feet, or 4,000 square feet in dimensions, fitted up in every part expressly for the business. The factory is supplied with every appliance that can be made use of to facilitate production, while one hundred hands that find continual employment in its different departments are selected with a view to prompt and efficient service. The line of goods manufactured comprises patent leather work for harness, harness blinds, bridle fronts, pad housings, hand parts, pressed loops, horse boots, gig pads, driving reins, and trimmings generally. A large trade is done in nearly every part of the United States and a considerable export trade. The superior quality, style, workmanship, and finish of all these goods are fully attested by their great popularity and the extensive productions yearly compelled by the constantly increasing demand. The gentlemen composing the firm are Mr. Francis C. Butler, born in England, and Mr. Eugene Ward, born in Newark, New Jersey. Their success is but the natural outgrowth of untiring energy, perseverance, and strict integrity. |
