| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | The Keystone Marble Company was organized in 1853. Its firm name at that time was S. F. Jacoby & Co., and the business
was conducted under that title until i860, when it was changed to G. W. Jacoby & Sou. No other change was made until 1889, when the Keystone Marble Company was organized and incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania. Its officers are: C. S. Jacoby, president; G. W. Jacoby, secretary; J. F. Jacoby, treasurer and general manager. The business consists principally of marble and onyx work of every description, including mantels, turning columns for statues and statuettes, etc. Their work is without exception the finest in the country, their designs being as exquisitely attractive as they are original and novel. A visit to their large establishment, No. 2025 Market street, will be amply repaid, if one admires artistic and beautiful work of this kind. Their display is really magnificent and so extensive that one imagines he is examining the exhibit at some prominent exposition. It could not well lie otherwise, however, with a management so able and experienced as that of the Messrs. Jacoby, each and every one of whom is as familiar with the work as the most skilled mechanic in their employ. They seem to anticipate the requirements of the trade and never fail to meet them; in fact instead of keeping apace with the times, they are generally in advance of it, and are the first in the market with some new design or improved feature. In evidence of these statements it is only necessary to mention a few of the many handsome buildings in which the result of the firm's handiwork is to be seen. Among the number are the Drexel Building; Brown Bros. Building, Fourth and Chestnut streets; Manhattan Building, Fourth and Walnut streets; Commercial Union, No. 410 Walnut street; Presbyterian Hospital, Thirty-ninth street and Powelton avenue; Hotel Gladstone, Eleventh and Pine streets. |
