| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The manufacture of stiff and soft hats of fur material has gained a leading rank in the industries of Newark, the trade done in this line assuming the most extensive proportions. One of the largest representative houses in the business is the Eagle Hat Manufacturing Company, established by Mr. Jos. Mercy one year ago, in 1881, this gentleman having had sixteen years' previous experience in the business. The factory is of frame and brick, three stories high, 30x50 feet in extent, two of the floors being used for the business. The best machinery is provided and is operated by a steam engine of eighty-horse power. Forty experienced operatives are regularly employed in the various departments of the works in the making up of goods to order, which are manufactured from the raw materials. A large trade is established, which extends to New York and over the Western States. The sales will reach $75,000 per annum, the entire amount being from the jobbers. Mr. Mercy is a native of Austria and has been twenty-one years a resident of the United States. He has been engaged in business for sixteen years and now makes only the medium quality of hats and is fast advancing to the front ranks of the progressive men of Newark, with the trade of which he is identifying himself. He is a gentleman of the highest integrity as a manufacturer and citizen, and is highly esteemed for his sterling qualities. |
