THEMABeschreibung
TEXTThere is no section of the country that produces more fur hats than Orange, N.J. Hatmaking is the great industry of that section of the State, which furnishes lucrative employment to many hundreds of its population. Orange Valley is where the largest of these establishments are located. One of the most important among them, by reason of the character, quality, and variety of the goods turned out, is that of the firm of Sparrow, Venino & Co., whose extensive establishment is located on South Jefferson Street, near Forest, and comprises several substantial brick buildings, three stories in height, which cover a ground space of 200x150 feet. These buildings are provided with special machinery and appliances of the latest improved designs, among them being napping machines, pouncing machines, blocking machines, etc., which are kept in operation by a powerful steam engine and an eighty-five-horse power boiler. The line of production is fine, fancy, and staple fur hats, and includes soft and round hats and round and napped hats for ladies and misses. These hats are produced in all colors, shapes, and styles from the broad-brimmed, white sombrero, for the Texas and Mexican trade, to the nobby young gentleman's hat and the dainty hat for ladies and misses. The business carried on by this firm is one of the largest in this section and the trade is the most extensive and widespread, and it is the only establishment making a specialty of ladies' fine napped hats, for which they have a large demand. The membership of the firm comprises David D. Sparrow, C. Venino, Edward A. Wallace, Jr., and Wm. J. Morrow, gentlemen well versed in hat manufacture and who give it their special attention. They employ upward of one hundred and fifty hands and their goods are always to be found in the principal markets, and bring leading prices, as they have a standard reputation for excellence, fine quality, and finish. The office and salesroom is at No. 548 Broadway, New York. The members of the firm are enterprising and liberal, and have, by their extensive operations as manufacturers of hats in Orange, added no little to the prosperity of that section, especially in the Orange Valley. This wellknown house makes a specialty of the manufacture of stiff hats of a superior quality, and of the great number of firms in this vicinity this is the only one making this line of goods.
