| TEXT | The name and record of the late Mr. Isaac Hall of this city will long be remembered with respect and esteem by all classes of the community. No one was better known, or more popular, either among the patrons of his famous Battery Park Baths, or in the line of his extensive establishment devoted to the sale of anchors and chains, and shipsmithing in general. The late Mr. Hall was one of the old-time merchants of this city, and it was forty-five years ago, or in 1838, that he founded the business which has proved such an enduring success. He was always permanently located, corner of Broad and Front Streets, and the antiquated buildings thereat are now over one hundred years of age. It is safe to say that no one was more widely known in maritime circles, or bore a higher reputation for enterprise and strict integrity than Isaac Hall. He from the start aimed at meeting every want of his numerous customers, and he permanently retained the reputation of being the best man in the city to deal with in his line of trade. His concern, consequently, steadily grew and eventually assumed very extensive proportions. Mr. Hall, with characteristic enterprise, some thirty-five years ago, recognizing the need there was for a first-class salt water bath for gwimming and bathing, became proprietor of the one at the Battery, which has been a permanency ever since, and has become as much a landmark as is Castle Garden itself. His swimming bath was the best kept and the best patronized of any in New York, and bore testimony to his practical common sense and persistent energy. The late Mr. Hall, as an influential resident of Brooklyn, took an active part in many important enterprises. He was a director of the Union Ferry Company and member of the Chamber of Commerce and Maritime Exchange for many years, and was ever a supporter of honest government for the community. As proof of his earnestness in this direction, it may be stated that at the time of Mayor Low's re-election in November, 1883, and when Mr. Hall was suffering from his fatal illness, he had himself carried to the polls, and cast his ballot for the man, who, he felt, would best follow out a policy of honest government. Mr. Hall, who was a part owner of several large ships,, was a respected member of the Society of Friends, and hig lamented decease in November, 1883, left a void that it will be hard to fill. He was essentially a self-made man, well worthy of Matthew Hale Smith's eulogy in his "History of Self-made Men," and a citizen whose high character and permanent success have left their mark behind. Mr. Hall was succeeded in business by his son, Mr. William A. Hall, under the firm name of "Isaac Hall's Son, " and who having had ample practical experience with his father, is energetically prosecuting all branches of the business. He owns an eligibly situated property in Brooklyn, one hundred feet by one hundred in size, where he stores a complete assortment of anchors of all sizes, from three thousand up to eight thousand pounds in weight, and adapted for ships of all dimensions. Both there and at his premises, corner of Broad and Front Streets, he keeps a full outfit of chains as well, and of all sizes up to two and one half inch. He carries on the Battery Swimming Bath as successfully as did his father, and also a regular shipsmith business, having a superior class of customers. He is a gentleman in the early prime of manhood, whose career, like that of his respected father, has been eminently creditable to himself as a rising business man and honorable citizen. He is an active member of the Produce and the Maritime Exchanges, and it is with pleasure that we insert th» above reference to the old established concern of " Isaac Hall's Son." |
