| TEXT | The millinery trade standing second only, as it does, to that of dry goods, is one of the most important features of New York's wholesale and import commercial activity. There is an unceasing demand for fresh novelties and originality in styles, etc., and there is a wide field for the talented designer and manufacturer. Among the most active and enterprising members of the abotfe branches of the millinery trade is Mr. R. P. Hughes, of No. 868 Broadway. Though comparatively recently established, having been in business upon his own account since July, 1888, yet Mr. Hughes is a gentleman of ample practical experience in the millinery trade, and has given proof of original talent and great inventive genius in the line of his specialties. As a designer, manufacturer and importer of millinery novelties, Mr. Hughes occupies extensive premises centrally located at No. 868 Broadway, where he employs as high as eighty hands in producing the various novelties which he brings out each season. He does a strictly wholesale trade, which is increasing rapidly, and his stock contains all the choicest things in the line of flowers, feathers, etc. Mr. Hughes has built up a high reputation as an original designer, and received the medal of excellence at the American Institute Fair for his famous waterproof feathers. His establishment is not only a source of benefit to the industries of this city, but is also a credit to the metropolis, as an ad rtitional avenue for the opening up of trade, and Mr. Hughes' prospects in the near future are of the most favorable character, as the demand for the class of goods he manufactures is rapidly increasing, and he has al ready found it necessary to add another large floor to his factory. His beautiful designs for hats and bonnets, made of the feathers of tropical birds of rare and beautiful plumage, are a marvel of artistic excellence and real worth. Being possessed of natural talent, something more than a mechanical effect appears in the arrangement of these wonderful combinations of shade and texture. These goods without exaggeration surpass the productions of Paris manufacturers, and are eagerly sought after by a fastidious and discriminating public. Mr. Hughes may well feel proud of the success which has been but the outgrowth of a natural gift combined with strict adherence to business integrity, and the exercise of financial honor which has achieved for him a prominence accorded only to those whose transactions have been based on those sound principles of a strict business system. |
