| TEXT | The position of New York in the dry goods trade of the United States is beyond question the leading one, and the rapid development of this interest greatly conduces to the permanent prosperity of the metropolis. The progress of the trade has been so rapid and the field for its expansion so wide that it is with pleasure we note the advent of the house of Kaughran & Co., and which, though only founded on May 1st, 1884, has already established for itself a name and a reputation unexcelled in the history of the New York dry goods trade. Mr. Thomas F. Kaughran, the esteemed head of this house, is a gentleman whose lengthy practical acquaintance with every phase of the business is the surest possible guarantee to the public that they can here best meet with that aareful attention and secure the greatest bargains in all classes of dry and fancy goods, for which the name of Kaughran has so long been justly famous. Mr. Thomas F. Kaughran's active business career dates back for many years. He is personally conversant with the markets and knows exactly what the public wants, while the command of large capital and his recognized unsurpassed abilities enable him to outstrip all competition, and we are prepared to say that his establishment presents to-day the most complete and best selected, as it is one of the largest stocks of dry goods in this city. The concern occupies two three-story buildings, fifty feet front by one hundred and twenty feet in depth, and which could not be more centrally situated on Broadway as regards the convenience of access, and the facilities afforded shoppers. The establishment is fully fitted up and finely arranged internally, and is one of the best organized dry goods stores in the city, containing upwards of twenty departments, each specially devoted to a dis- inct line of goods, and the staff of salesmen and assistants being thoroughly competent and drilled to their duties, each day's business proceeds methodically, the throngs of customers being served promptly and satisfactorily, and Mr. Kaughran has the satisfaction of knowing that under his immediate supervision the business of his concern has rapidly grown to proportions of the greatest magnitude. His house is constantly offering a large and varied assortment of dry goods, including the choicest fabrics of this class of manufactures throughout the world, and adapted to the wants of both wholesale and retail buyers in all parts of the country. The firm imports direct from Europe all the latest novelties, selected with special reference to the wants of customers, and embracing the finest of silks, satins, velvets, lacee, ribbons, embroideries, dress fabrics in all textures, white goods, linens, cottons, hosiery, gloves, underwear and fancy goods in vast variety. In a word the best and freshest goods to be found in the foreign and domestic markets are constantly being selected from by the firm's experienced buyers, and the magnificent stock is thus steadily replenished, affording the biggest kind of bargains every day, and the customer can always make sure that the prices cannot be quoted lower, and often not near so low, anywhere else. Mr. Kaughran spares no pains to meet the wishes of customers, and they heartily recognize the advantages of dealing here, some idea of the magnitude of the trade developed being afforded, when we state, that upwards of one hundred and fifty employees are required during the busy seasons. The rapid development of this business speaks more for the ability of Mr. Thomas F. Kaughran than anything we could say, and he is justly worthy of mention in this volume, as being one of the most highly respected as he is one of our leading dry goods merchants, while the prospects before his house, under his energetic guidance, are of the most favorable and enduring character. |
