| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | In a careful review of the commercial enterprises of New York it will be plainly observable that some houses possess great advantages over others in the same line of business, the result in some cases of longer experience and in others of a greater natural aptitude for the particular trade or calling. In the business of fine merchant tailoring Messrs. Pettus & Curtis may be said to have attained their well known reputation as makers of men's attire from both of the essentials above mentioned. This house was originally established in 1863 by Messrs. Dixon & Pettus, and after several charges in the firm, the present proprietors. Messrs. Pettus & Curtis, in 1866, succeeded to the business. Their long experience, coupled with an extensive knowledge of what constitutes symmetry and beauty of design in wearing apparel, has given them a proficiency attained by few of their compeers, and the truth of which is exemplified in the high reputation which the products of the house have obtained. The premises occupied for the business comprise a handsome store, where may be found a. large and varied stock of French, English and German woollens, embracing the latest patterns in the markets, and many single ones of special design not to be found elsewhere, as well as the standard goods generally sought after by those who are more conservative in the character of their dress. The custom of this house is largely drawn from the best classes of society, in fact the elite of the city and its vicinity are its principal patrons. The individual members of this popular firm are Messrs. James T. Pettus and D. C. Curtis, the former a native of Virginia, the latter of Massachusetts. Both gentlemen are well known in business circles, and have always identified themselves with any measure conducive to the general welfare of their fellow citizens. Those interested, entering into business relations with this house, will find all transactions not only pleasant but profitable and permanent. |
