| TEXT | The trade in groceries is one of the most important branches of commerce in the country, and is conducted by business men of capital, integrity, and ability of the highest order. In Newark there are to be found some of the finest stores to be seen in the world, notably that of the firm of Atwater & Carter, which is located in the large brick building at No. 728 Broad Street. The store has a double front of plate glass windows and has dimensions of 25x100 feet. It is fitted up in a most elegant manner and the fine display made therein of choice fancy and staple groceries, condiments, and delicacies for the table is not surpassed by any other house in the same line of business in the city. Messrs. Atwater & Carter have gained distinction and are recognized as the leading house for fine quality of goods in this section of the State, and control one of the largest customs from the leading families of Newark and vicinity. The firm has the finest flour and choice creamery butter and the best teas, coffees, and spices that the world produces, and also imported wines and liquors of a superior quality of all kinds in glass and original packages, and an almost endless variety of the most noted and popular brands of Havana and domestic cigars, and every variety of foreign fruits in their luscious elegance, and hermetically sealed goods in tin and glass, including every variety imported and of home production. Mr. Samuel Atwater and Mr. Frederick A. Carter are well known as holding prominent positions among the solid, substantial merchants of the city, and have gained a social standing placing them in the front rank among the public spirited representative merchants and citizens of Newark. Mr. Atwater is a native of the State of New York, and during the administration of President Fillmore was appointed Postmaster at King's Ferry in his native State, which office he filled with credit and acceptance for five consecutive years. He was for two firms an active and efficientmember of the Board of Aldermen in Newark, and for six years was a member of the Board of Water Commissioners, and for two terms a member of the State Legislature. In his official capacity he was faithful to his trusts and always looked after the best interests of his constituents, who fully indorsed his actions. He is a gentleman of unimpeachaljle integrity, courteous in manner, and personally alike blameless in public and private life. Mr. Carter has been in the business in connection with Mr. Atwater since 1858, when the firm of Atwater & Carter was first organized. He graduated at Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., in 1856, two years prior to his coming to Newark. He is a gentleman in every sense of the term, familiar with every detail of the business, in which he has been for twenty-six years. He is very popular and highly esteemed in this community, and though often urged he has continually declined every proposal to public office. |
