THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTThe name of Decker has been intimately and honorably associated with the history of the jewelry trade, for upward of forty years past. Mr. Leonard Decker was born near Troy, New York, and early in life entered into the jewelry business, as a salesman and traveller. He was the first one to travel in the line of jewelry, and with his horse and carriage took out a full assortment of whatever was in the market in those early days, opening up a new and wide field of honorable activity, and building up a fine and permanent trade. Mr. Decker is a gentleman of superior talents and great decision of character, and realizing the needs of the public, he eventually embarked in business, with headquarters at New York, some thirty years ago, and has since carried on his trade upon the original principles of honorable dealing with which he first started out in life. He subsequently formed a co-partnership with Mr. C. A. Starbuck, and his son, Mr. W. L. Decker, under the firm name of Leonard Decker & Co. They carry on all branches of the jewelry trade, and likewise deal in fine diamonds, suited to the best class of mountings, and do a correspondingly large and widely extended business. They are also the sole importers of the deservedly famous Bourquin watches, than which no more reliable and handsome timekeepers were ever manufactured. They are far superior to any machine-made watch and give better satisfaction, as their numerous wearers in this country can emphatically testify. Mr. Starbuck is a native of Niagara county, New York, and is an active, enterprising merchant, still in the early prime of manhood. Mr. W. L. Decker, who is a native of Brooklyn, New York, is likewise a young business man, and their firm thus embraces long practical experience and abundance of talent and energy, the qualifications which have in the past given it its high standing in the community, and we accord it favorable mention in this review of the old established mercantile houses of the metropolis.
