| TEXT | Among the prominent old-established merchants and representative, popular citizens of Orange there are none better known than Mr. R. McGowan, who has been engaged in business as a boot and shoe manufacturer in Last Orange and Orange since about 1862, and was for twelve years in the former place and since 1867 in his present location on Main Street, where he has a large, well-regulated, and well-appointed store, which is fitted up in a handsome manner and contains the finest line of fine boots and shoes to be seen in Orange. These goods are of his own manufacture and comprise calf boots and lace and Congress and walking-shoes for gentlemen, youths, and boys, which are made by hand from the best materials and sold at popular prices. He also has a general assortment of other goods and all the leading styles and fashions in ladies' and misses' and children's goods. A special department for custom work is one of the features of the business, which is under his personal supervision, and first-class work and perfect-fitting boots or shoes are always guaranteed at low prices. Mr. McGowan was a member of the Essex County Road Board and represented the First Ward as a Chosen Freeholder for two terms and is now one of the most active and enterprising members of the State Legislature from this part of New Jersey, having been elected to that position in 1881. Mr. McGowan is a gentleman of sterling integrity, courteous and pleasant in his manners and faithful in his business relations, and alike free from reproach in public or private life. |
