| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | There is no greater source of industry in Newark than the leather trade, and numerous are the enterprising firms engaged in it, prominent among which Mr. M. Straus takes a leading rank. In 1857 he established his trade and from his intimate and practical knowledge of every department connected with the manufacture of leather he has brought the products of his house to the highest standard of quality and finish. The factory is a brick building of three stories high, 70 x 125 feet in extent, all of which is used under the requirement of the business, and is equipped with suitable machinery and operated by a steam-engine of twenty-five-horse power. Seventy experienced operators find steady employment in all the different departments of the house. The capacity of the tannery is three hundred hides per week, which are manufactured into patent and enameled leather, colored enamel, dull, bright, and morocco finish. The stock carried bears a representative value of 70,000, and sales are estimated at the rate of 250,000, the trade done extending over the East and West. The products of the house are all of the finest grade and finish. Mr. Straus is a native of Germany and is thirty-two years a resident of the United States, and is one of the most respected of his fellow-citizens for his high, sterling qualities and integrity as a manufacturer and a business man. |
