| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | Orange is one of the great centres of the hat-manufacturing industry of the country. One among the firms enjoying a high reputation and deserving of more than a mere mention is that of Puff & Youmans, located on Freeman Street, near S. Jefferson Street. The business was established in 1875 by the firm of Matthews & Puff, and was continued by them until April 1st, 1882, when Mr. Matthews withdrew and the present firm of Puff & Youmans was formed. These gentlemen are experienced in their line of business and make a specialty of sizing and finishing felt hnts, and give constant employment to from fifty to seventy-five hands in the various departments where special machinery and appliances are in use, and also a fifteen-horse power engine and a large boiler. The main factory building in size is 75x200 feet and two stories in height, with several smaller ones adjoining it, substantially constructed and fitted up with every convenience for the successful prosecution of the business. Mr. Wm. J. Puff is a native of New York, but has resided nearly all his life in Orange, and Mr. Benjamin F. Youmans is of Essex County. They are well and favorably known throughout their section as honorable and successful business men, whose operations as manufacturers of hats have in no small measure been of great value to the residents of Orange Valley. |
