| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | This establishment, founded by Mr. J. Wiss, dates back to the year 1848, and during more than a third of a century of its existence has occupied a leading position in the manufacture of goods in its line. Its productions are known throughout the United States and compare with the best-made foreign cutlery, only goods of the best quality being manufactured. These have been exhibited at the various exhibitions of industry, fairs, displays, etc., all over the country, in competition with the finest goods produced, and in all cases have been awarded the first medals for superiority, including the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia in 1876. Mr. Wiss continued to operate the business upon his own account until 1880, when he died, and his sons took charge of the business. Their manufactures are the best quality scissors, shears, pruning sheai-s, and cutlery generally. The store, office, and salesroom is 25x50 feet in dimensions, finely fitted and fully stocked, the same being attractively arranged and displayed in showcases, etc., while every article is fully warranted. The manufactory is located to the rear of the store building, is built of brick, three stories in height, and is 40x75 feet in size. It is fitted with the most approved labor-saving machinery, is run by steam power, and the services of sixty-five experienced hands are required. The trade is a very extensive one and continues to increase. Mr. Wiss, Sr., was a native of Switzerland, but had long resided in Newark. He had a practical knowledge of the business, and to him is the trade largely indebted for the high class of productions maintained. His sons are Newark natives, and are among the rising young business men of the city, growing up at the business and becoming qualified by actual experience for the important duties before them as the heads of so extensive an industry. The house is one of the most reliable in the State, and is a credit to the substantial industries that have given Newark its claim to first importance in the industrial rank of the Union. |
