| TEXT | One of the leading manufacturers in New York of awnings, tents, flags, wagon-covers, and every description of canvas articles is Mr. John F. Mc-Hugh, of No. 1286 Broadway, who first established in business in 1867, being located from the first upon Broad way. Mr. McHugh manufactures all kinds of awnings, tents, flags, canopies, wagon and horse covers, oiled cot-ton ducks, tarpaulins, etc., etc., and is the proprietor of a large manufactory, centrally situated at Nos. 147 and 149 West 28th Street, aud where he is possessed of unexceptional facilities. In the department of awnings he has mastered and overcome all the technical difficulties in the architectural planning of awnings, and is very seldom equalled and never excelled in his endeavors to please, white few manufacturers in this country enjoy such su- perior facilities. Since he enlarged hte factory, now probably employing a larger force than any other firm in the United States or Canada, he has direct arrangements with the agents of the leading mills to supply him with original designs, the yarn used being of the best long staple, and is dyed before being put into the looms, which makes a perfect fabric for awning use that will effectually resist the action of any climate. He makes tents for all purposes, and devotes special attention to circus and side-show tents, while lawn and sea-side tents are made picturesque, graceful, and methodical, easily set and removed, and light in weight for transit. In flags, as in tents, Mr. McHugh has an unrivalled reputation. He manufactures them wholesale and retail of all kinds and sizes, national, maritime, signal and fancy, all beautiful in design and execution, and for which only the best of bunting is used. Among the miscellaneous canvas goods manufactured by Mr. McHugh are hammocks and cot-bottoms, hospital stretchers, masonic articles, sand bags, malt bags, clothes bags, trunk and hamper covers, shutes, wind sails, horse slings of the original and best designs, fishing-rod cases, straight jackets, sails and gear for boats and yachts. He also deals in a general line of warranted waterproof rubber clothing. Window shades of the finest and handsomest qualities are also a special feature. His famous saturated oil canvas, or " water repeller," is worthy of prominent mention. It is of his own invention, a secret specialty, of which he is the owner and sole manufacturer, and which is the best in the world, taking the place of boards and all other waterproof coverings ever devised. The best United States of America standard duck only is used. The oiling is done by hand, and, the pores are carefully cured, making it pliable enough to resist the action of the elements, and warranted never to peel, leak, stick, or crack. For wagon covers it has never had a rival. He is thus the representative New York manufacturer in all kinds of canvas wagon tops, aprons, and waterproof covers. In the line of goods on hire, such as canopies, dancing crash, empire parlor camp chairs, fitted with his own combination rubber fenders, etc., he has an unrivalled assortment at lowest rates. His factory is very extensive, sixty men and upwards often being employed therein, while his warerooms and offices in Broadway are directly central, spacious and attractive. He is headquarters for campaign and political banners of all descriptions done in the highest style of the art, and in this line, as well as all others, not only does the best and largest trade in this city, but his patrons are to be found all over the United States, and wherever they go we are pleased to add that Mr. McHugh's goods are his best advertisement. |
