| TEXT | The features of distinguished enterprise in the development of the varied resources of the metropolitan city of New York have no more fitting or more satisfactory representative than the famous J. M. Horton Ice Cream Company. The perfection and popularization of the delicious confection of ice cream is greatly due to the energetic and conscientious exertions of Mr. J. M. Horton, the talented president, who embarked in the business with the laudable intention of making his house the greatest in the world in his line, and it is a satisfaction to be able to say that he and his colleagues have fully succeeded, and the J. M. Horton Ice Cream Company to-day stands unrivalled in its line, head and shoulders above all competitors, and \vith an international reputation for supplying the purest and most palatable ice cream ever manufactured. The business was founded in 1870, and, backed by the push, determination and integrity of its proprietors, rapidly developed and expanded to proportions of the greatest magnitude. The president and officers are as follows: Mr. J. M. Horton, president; Mr. J. Cozzens, secretary, and Mr. J. J. Frish, treasurer. The company is a regularly formed and duly incorporated joint stock enterprise, and large capital, in addition to great experience and practical knowledge, is brought to bear in their important field of activity. The cardinal principles observed by the J. M. Horton Ice Cream Company, and which have conduced so greatly to its success, are strict integrity, the use of the best of appliances, and only the most absolutely pure cream and standard materials, while a thorough system of organization pervades the large establishment, the results being that the public has long ago learned to place entire confidence in the reliability and honesty of the company's officers, and that their ice cream is always just as represented, viz.: pure, cleanly and wholesome. Success being the true test of merit, we can truly say, that the J. M. Horton Company has proved for many years the value of living up to every line and letter of its promises to customers, and its trade has now outstripped the most sanguine anticipations of Messrs. Horton, Cozzens and Frish. There are five headquarters or depots, located as follows: No. 305 Fourth Avenue, No. 1288 Broadway, No. 75 Chatham Street, and No. 110 East 125th Street, all in New York, while the Brooklyn depot is at No. 453 Fulton Street in that city. The establishment is fitted up with all modern improvements, including fourteen of the most powerful machines, each one of which can congeal forty quarts of ice cream solid in twenty minutes! The capacity of production in each ten hours is sixteen thousand eight hundred quarts, and from one hundred and forty to one hundred and fifty hands are employed directly in the manufactory, besides seventy-five horses, some sixty delivery wagons being required to make prompt deliveries, so numerous have the company's customers grown. The business is carried on both wholesale and retail, but principally the former, the company's unrivalled facilities enabling it to promptly fill the largest orders from hotels, restaurants, steamboats, steamships, church fairs, Sunday school festivals, weddings, balls, excursions, families, etc., etc., while all classes of the retail trade order Horton's cream and charlotte russe in preference to all others. People who take this cream regularly, and afterward have travelled all over Europe, thus being enabled to test the productions of all continental makers, invariably pronounce Horton's the best ice cream on earth the non plus ultra of excellence. The company's trade extends all over the United States, and is increasing constantly. All the lines of European steamers carry Horton's ice cream the round trip, and it is thus everywhere all consumers, large and small, in search of the best ice cream at reasonable prices, use that of the Horton Company. It manufactures ice cream of all standard flavors, French and Italian creams, fruit creams, water ices, charlotte russe and jelly, and is always prepared to meet any demand upon its resources. The company own two ice houses of twenty-two thousand tons capacity, at New Baltimore, N. Y., where each winter.they store the pure crystal from the Hudson, at a point where the ice is acknowledged always to be of superior quality and purity. In thus owning their own houses they are not at the mercy of the city ice dealers, and can therefore make very low and satisfactory prices for their productions. Mr. J. M. Horton, the popular president of the company, is a native of New York, and is one of our most active and enterprising business men. He began in a small way, but practical knowledge of the business, and his unswerving determination to excel and give the public the benefit, were rewarded with a rapid progress, and both in trade and reputation his company to-day stands among the foremost industrial establishments of the metropolis. Mr. J. Cozzens is the secretary, and Mr. J. J. Frish the treasurer. They also are natives of New York, and honorable and practically experienced business men, ably and faithfully discharging the onerous duties devolving upon them, and bringing to bear trained talents of the highest order in the interests of their company. Mr. J, M. Horton is the general manager, a practical expert as regards the manufacture of ice cream, and whose executive abilities and systematic organization have no superiors. He keeps his force up to the highest standard of efficiency, and in his absence Mr. J. J. Frish takes charge, well qualified to look after the progress of the work. The company's standing in commercial circles is too high to require any comment at our hands, and both as regards business ability and true American enterprise it justly merits the high reputation to which it has permanently attained. |
