| TEXT | In the year 1857 this house was founded by the senior proprietor of the present firm, Mr. Edward Dixon. In 1866 he admitted his cousin, Mr. Wm. Dixon, to partnership, and the firm became known and has ever since remained E. & W. Dixon, who conduct the brush-making business in all its branches with an energy that insures success. Their carrying stock is about 20,000, and they do an annual business of about 75,000. They occupy the entire building at No. 50 Market Street, corner of Plane, 25x50 feet in size and three stories in height. The salesroom and office occupies the first floor, the second floor is the stock-room, and the third floor is used for manufacturing purposes exclusively. Every facility is employed pertaining to the business and the services of forty experienced workmen are required. Their trade extends throughout the United States and Canadas, and is principally in New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. They carry a full supply of calcimine, white-wash, paint, varnish, scrubbing, dusting, stove, shoe, and horse brushes; jewelers', silversmiths', platers', dentists', watch-case makers' brushes and buffs; make a specialty of jewelers' and manufacturers' brushes; manufacture Dixon's patent felt buffs, and all kinds of wire, scratch, and matting brushes, and brushes used in the manufacture of leather, table oil-cloth, saddlery hardware, hats, trunks, etc. - in fact, brushes for every kind of work that they can be used for are carefully made to order, of choice materials, and finished in a style that is entirely creditable to the firm. The Messrs. Dixon are natives of Ireland, who came to this country in their boyhood, and located in Newark. They are gentlemen of great business energy, with a practical knowledge of the business in which they are engaged. |
