THEMABeschreibung
TEXTThe upholstery and furniture industry is one of great importance to the general community of every city, and those engaged in this branch of the trade should be men of the strictest honor and integrity and possess the fullest confidence of their fellow-citizens. One of the most reliable houses in the trade was founded by Mr. C. L. Best six years ago, who has been for ten years in the business. The purchasers of furniture in a great measure are dependent on the integrity of the upholsterer, as very inferior material may be covered by a costly and handsome exterior, and thus deceive the inexperienced customer as to the real value of the article purchased. In this direction the character of Mr. Best is established beyond all reproach, and his representations are reliable, as may be seen in the samples left for inspection in his extensive warerooms. The store and salesrooms are on the first floor of the building No. 882 Broad Street and are 20x75 feet in extent, with a cellar of the same size used as a workshop. A number of experienced hands are employed. The stock carried comprises a general line of fine furniture for parlors and chambers, etc., valued at 3,500. Hair, spring, and moss mattresses are made to order, and curtains, shades, and lambrequins are made and hung. Furniture of every kind is repaired and varnished and carpets laid, and lace curtains, buff, and white shades cleaned. A large local trade is done, and sales will reach 10,000 per annum. Mr. Best is a native of Germany and emigrated to America twenty years ago, serving fifteen years of this time in New York city, and is now one of the most experienced and practical men at the trade.
