| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | The oldest established and most widely known manufacturer of gold pens and pencils in the country is Mr. William S. Hicks of this city. Mr. Hicks commenced in business as far back as fifty-two years ago, and in the interim his concern has built up an unrivalled reputation, and a strictly first-class trade of large dimensions. Mr Hicks started in business on his own account in William Street in 1848, and after removing into Beekman Street for a short time, he eventually in 1850 removed to his present address. In 1857 a copartnership of which he was a member, under the firm name of Larcombe, Hicks & Mitchell, was dissolved, since which data the business has been carried on under the widely known name of William S. Hicks. He learned his trade in this section of the city in 1832, and at that time resided in John Street. He was born in Reade Street, however, where likewise his son was born. He is thus a New York business man out and out, and forms an exception to the general rule in this respect. With him are now associated in the business his son and Mr. W. H. Sembler, a relative, and under their practical and able guidance, the business is being carried on in the most satisfactory manner. The concern's factory occupies the two upper floors of the large building, No. 20 Maiden Lane, and forty hands here find steady employment. The house annually turns out a very large quantity of gold pens and pencil cases, which are readily disposed of to the jobbers and to the trade in general, the house being represented all over the country by its travellers. Mr. Hicks is the oldest manufacturer in the business, and the reputation his concern has justly obtained is of an unrivalled character. Further comment upon our part would be superfluous. Suffice it to say, that the concern is in every respect a lasting credit to its founder, and a valued factor in the permanent industrial activity of the great metropolis. |
