| TEXT | The name of Scott has been permanently and honorably identified with the coffee trade of New York from the early date of 1848. In that year the business was founded by Mr. William Scott, and has since been carried on continuously by himself and his sons. The house has been located in Wall Street for many years, and has become one of the commercial landmarks in the lower part of that street. It was first located at No. 91 1/2, subsequently, some twenty years ago, removing to No. 113 [a.a.o.: 111] Wall Street. The business of Mr. Scott and of his sons has been exclusively coffee brokerage, and in this important branch of the trade they stand unrivalled. The senior Mr. Scott was one of the most active and progressive of New York merchants, and he early laid the foundations of what has become, under skilful and honorable guidance, a business of such magnitude. The well known firm name of William Scott & Sons was changed to that of William Scott's Sons on the first of February, 1884, by the retirement of Mr. William Scott from active business life, after a career extend ing back for upward of forty years, and during which he built up a very high reputation for sound business principles, strictly honorable dealings, and full ability to promptly carry out any undertaking in which he engaged. The present firm of William Scott's Sons is composed of Mr. James Scott and Mr. John F. Scott, both gentlemen of long practical experience in the coffee trade, and among the most estimable members of the mercantile community. The firm is closely identified with the organization and success of the New York Coffee Exchange, and Mr. John F. Scott has held the responsible post of treasurer from the first, being re-elected to the office from year to year, and ably and conscientiously discharging the onerous duties devolving upon him. Both he and his brother have given a hearty support to the best interests of the Exchange, and its present prosperity is the outcome of just such progressive energy as that exhibited by this firm. The firm is also a member of the Importers' and Grocers' Exchange. The activity and enterprise of this house need not be recounted here, since its merit is fully recognized in th» mercantile community, and New York may well be congratulated on tha possession of such energetic business men as tha members of this firm are known to be. |
