| TEXT | The tailor's art is the most difficult to thoroughly master in the wide range of business activity, and requires special talents and capacity. For these reasons, the leading tailors are comparatively few in number. Prominent among them is Mr. J. P. Wessman, the popular artist tailor of 1197 Broadway. He is a native of Sweden, of vast practical experience in his profession, and landed here in 1871 possessed of a Continental training in every detail of the art. He established in business here upon his own account in 1872, and has had in the intervening twelve years a remarkably successful and prosperous career. He occupies one of the best and most centrally located stores on Broadway, di- rectly opposite the Sturtevant House, where he has built up a very large and permanent fashionable trade, including not only many of our leading city men, but gentlemen from all parts of the United States, who, while visiting the city, realizing Mr. Wessman's unrivalled skill and fine taste, transferred their custom to him permanently. He keeps only the choicest of imported goods on hand, and has a discriminating eye for good effects, and what suits every class of figure, etc. Garments manufactured by him are marvels of perfection, faultless in fit and finish, and are sure to please the most fastidious. Mr. Wessman employs an average of from fifteen to twenty-five of the most skilful journeymen, and is always pressed with orders in the best class of trade. Personally Mr. Wessman is a most popular and agreeable gentleman, with an honorable and creditable record, and his establishment has no superior in the metropolis and should be visited by all desirous of securing " artist tailoring," in fact as well as in name. |
