| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | The rapid development of the commerce of New York is a theme of comment among the business men of the entire country, and the splendid results achieved in this line are due, almost wholly, to the untiring activity and enterprise of our wholesale importers, dealers, and com mission merchants. This is especially noticeable in connection with the first class auction trade in the various departments of commerce. One of the representative dry goods auction commission houses in the metropolis is that of Field, Chapman & Fenner. It is also distinguished for being in the direct line of succession to the house of Haggerty, Austin & Co., which was founded in 1821, or over sixty-three years ago, thus rendering the business of the present house by far the oldest of its kind in New York. The history of the concern is an interesting one, and well worthy of record in this historical review. The firm of Haggerty, Austin & Co. was succeeded by that of John Haggerty & Son in 1834. In 1844 another change occurred, the house becoming known as that of Haggerty, Draper & Jones. The firm of Haggerty & Co. succeeded in 1857, and upon its dissolution in 1869 the firm of Field, Morriss, Fenner & Co. actively continued the business, being again succeeded in 1881 by the present firm of Messrs. Field, Chapman & Fenner, composed of Mr. Aaron Field, Mr. Noah H. Chapman, and Mr. Wm. G. Fenner. They annually handle and dispose of enormous quantities of dry goods of all descriptions, doing a business that extends all over the United States and Canada. They receive consignments from all over the United States, as well as goods manufactured in all parts of the world, and regularly hold sales on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. They have built up a large business in Oriental goods, and sell the choicest descriptions that are imported. The firm occupies unusually central and eligible premises, embracing four floors, each sixty feet by one hundred and fifty in dimensions, and situated in the best wholesale section of Broadway. They require a very large establishment so extensive has their business grown under the able and wise management of the present firm. The best of trained skill and enterprise mark the progress of the house. Three skilful auctioneers and a large clerical force is steadily employed, while the firm also sells at private sale to many customers. The co-partners are all gentlemen of the highest standing in commercial circles, and bring to bear the widest possible range of experience and facilities obtainable. In closing this necessarily brief review of the house of Field, Chapman & Fenner, we desire to remark that its success is generally recognised as the outcome of the most honorable business methods, fair and liberal-minded dealings, and there are none who more worthily have secured the support of such a wide section of the mercantile community of the United States |
