| TEXT | In reviewing those well-known and reliable houses who have identified themselves with the commercial prosperity of Montclair, the attention is perforce directed to the large wholesale and retail grocery and provision store of Richters & McDowell. The fine establishment presents a neat and business-like appearance and is well lighted by three large windows and has two wide entrances, furnished with double doors. The ground area alone reaches three thousand square feet, being thirty-six feet wide and eighty-one long, and the store is amply provided with shelving, etc., which presents a surface of fully as much again. When Mr. F. J. Richters, who is a native of New York, first established the business some thirteen years ago, he founded it on a firm basis, and by dint of close attention and strict reliability attracted a great portion of the Montclair trade. In 1876 Mr. William McDowell, the junior member of the firm and a native of New Jersey, was admitted to partnership, thus forming the firm of Richters & McDowell. They have 10,000 invested in a choice stock of groceries, flour and feed, cider, vinegar, etc. Having a large trade, with rapid sales, their stock is continually changing hands and is, consequently, always fresh. Year by year the trade increases, and last year the amount of sales reached an aggregate of over 40,000. Three clerks are employed, who are well fitted to assist in the transaction of so large a business. |
