THEMABeschreibung
TEXTOne of the most extensive as well as oldest and most popular houses in Newark engaged in the manufacture of shirts, underwear, etc. is that of Mr. William M. Smith, which is located in the large white building No. 474 Broad Street. Mr. Smith has always conducted business upon sound principles of equity and integrity, and strictly adhered to them, and the result is that in seventeen years his business has grown to be one of the largest in the State, and his store became a favorite resort. He is the sole manufacturer of the "Domestic Shirt", which is made upon scientific principles, and in the combination of the bosom, yoke, and general fit is the most comfortable and easy shirt yet produced. There is a large demand for the,"Domestic" from all sections. They are made by countless thousands during a year, and yet the demand is still growing. He also manufactures all kinds of underwear for gentlemen, neckties, etc., and overalls for the million. Mr. Smith has received the "sobriquet" of the workingman's friend, as he furnishes a first-class article at a very low price. He is not only the workingman's friend, but the friend of everybody who desires to get good goods at a small cost. He has one of the largest establishments in the city of Newark, the store being 30x105 feet in dimensions, with a double front and made conspicuous and attractive by the fine display made there of every article requisite and necessary for gentlemen's wear in the shape of furnishing goods. Pie employs more than one hundred operatives in the different departments of his business, the machines operated by the employees being run by steam power. Mr. Smith is one of the wide-awake, live, active business men of Newark, and one of the public-spirited, liberal citizens who have attained prominence and popularity by the exercise of commercial integrity and extraordinary ability, combined with a straightforward system of honorable dealing and liberal management, and has gained the position which places him in the front rank among the substantial business men of the city.
