| TEXT | The "Newark China Store," of which Mr. G. W. Lawrence is the proprietor, was established by that enterprising gentleman in the year 1866. It is now one of the leading houses in its line in the State, and the value of the stock carried is perhaps greater than any similar house in the city. In the arrangement of stock excellent taste is displayed. The store is a fine one, modern throughout, 25x100 feet in dimensions, and excellently kept. A basement and store-house are also in use, and eveiy convenience known to the business is provided. Polite and attentive clerks serve customers promptly and make their visits pleasant as well as profitable. The stock consists of table, toilet, ornamental, ancl fancy wares, plated goods, cutlery, lamps, chandeliers, cooking furniture, etc. The display of glass is veiy fine and equals the largest houses in the countiy. Restaurant and hotel wares are provided in large quantities, as well as bar goods, etc. Goods are loaned for suppers, weddings, etc. The most important feature to buyers is in prices, and when we assert that they are as low as any house can sell the same class of goods for we speak within bounds and are justified by what we have seen, the trade is a general one, not confined to any particular class, but embracing housekeepers generally. Mr. Lawrence is one of the most reliable and straightforward of business men, a genuine, thorough-going, wide-awake dealer, who has won success byhis energy and perseverance and is a fit representative of the successful class of representative merchants who contribute to make Newark what it is, the leading commercial and industrial centre of New Jersey. Mr. W. H. Lawrence, brother of the proprietor of this house, is now, and has been for many years examining officer of china, glass, and earthenware in the Custom House at the port of New York. Mr. Lawrence obtains the greater portion of his goods from this country and Europe direct from the manufacturers. His goods are peculiarly adapted for wedding presents and holiday selections. |
