| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The enterprise and industry manifested in general merchandise trade in Montclair is of a marked nature. Conspicuous among the public-spirited and enterprising men engaged in this business may be mentioned Philip Doremus, whose establishment is centrally located at the corner of Bloomfield and Fullerton Avenues, a situation convenient to the farmers and shoppers in and around Montclair. Established in 1848, with a small capital, Mr. Doremus at first had only a commensurately small patronage, but he soon became known as a man whose goods were always as represented, and accordingly his trade rapidly increased. At present his stock is valued at 15,000 and the annual business amounts to 50,000. The store-room is a fine one 36x52 feet in size and well adapted for the display of the large and varied stock on hand. Four capable assistants are employed in filling orders and attending to customers. The stock comprises a complete line of all the innumerable articles embraced under the head of general merchandise, and in point of variety, quality, and quantity would do credit to many a larger town. Mr. Doremus was born in Bloomfield in 1825 and was chosen member of the Board of Freeholders for Essex County for a number of years, an office whose onerous duties he has discharged with credit to himself and profit to the community at large. |
