| TEXT | To supply a want long felt by the people of the community Mr. Keyler, in the year 1878, established his warerooms for the sale of furniture and undertakers' supplies. Although a very young man, being only twenty-two years old at that period, he soon demonstrated that he was fully capable of conducting the enterprise successfully. The people of Montclair and vicinity wisely prefer patronizing a reliable merchant established in their midst to paying attention to the illusory advertisements of some catchpenny affair in a large city, which, after all, do not sell at more reasonable rates. The furniture wareroom is in a fine building three stories high and is 20x60 feet in size. Immediately back of the salesroom, office, and display room is the workroom, which is considered the largest in town. Two assistants are employed in attending to customers and filling orders. A specialty is made of undertaking, a separate building being employed. This is situated next door and is eighteen feet wide and thirty feet long. A full line of coftins are always on hand, from ihe commoner grades of pine to the elegant silver-mounted rosewood casket. Mr. Keyler was born in Bloomfield, New Jersey, in 1856, and is considered one of the most enterprising merchants of Montclair. He is a son of J. G. Keyler, who has been in this same business in Bloomfield for thirty-two years. He enjoys a large trade, his annual receipts amounting to $18,000. |
