| TEXT | For the past forty-six years the name of Mr. George Sloane has been intimately and honorably associated with the development of several of the most important mercantile interests of the metropolis. Mr. Sloane began in business upon May 1, 1838, his store at that time being located in Hudson Street above Canal, then being considered wen up town, and situated in a very fashionable section of old New York. He was then a general dealer in all classes of millinery goods. Subsequently, as the growth of the city went on, and it began to expand toward Union Square and above it, Mr. Sloane removed into Broadway, and has since permanently carried on business in the great thoroughfare during an intervening period of thirty years. For ten years hie was located at No. 593 Broadway, and afterwards for another term of ten years at the corner of. Broadway and Tenth Street. It is due to his unerring judgment and accurate knowledge of localities that he has finally located on what is geographically as well as socially the centre of New York, viz., the junction of the two greatest lines of communication and business activity, Broadway and Sixth Avenue. Here, on the corner of Broadway and 32d Street, facing the Park, he erected a magnificent building, fifty-four feet front by one hundred and twenty-three feet in depth, and which is an architectural ornament to the city. Here he removed six years ago. The fittings and fixtures of this store are all elegant and complete, and in keeping with the vast stock of goods carried, comprising as it does twenty-five departments, and including everything in the lines of fancy goods, laces, buttons, perfumery, notions, games, high-class pictures and engravings, artistic picture frames in great variety, artists' materials, stationery, and a very large assortment of books, covering a wide range in the fields of literature, science, and art. The catalogue gives the works of all the standard British and American authors, and those famous in poetry, fiction, and history, etc., etc. There is also a complete stock of beautifully illustrated juvenile books, while in the important item of cost, we are convinced that nowhere else in New York can new and elegantly bound 12mo books be purchased at only thirty-nine cents per volume. New books are constantly being added, and this department is a special favorite with the reading public. In high-class pictures, and the latest styles of picture frames, Mr. Sloane's establishment has long borne an enviable reputation, and the prices are as reasonable as the goods are attractive and meritorious. The same may be said of every other one of the twenty-five departments. Mr. Sloane employs as high as one hundred clerks and salesladies to meet the requirements of his numerous customers, and does a trade of corresponding magnitude, in every way holding the leading position in this branch of mercantile enterprise. |
