THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTThe house of McGibbon & Co. was founded in 1866, and has been specially devoted to the importing of linens and upholstery goods direct from the leading French and other European manufacturers. Mr. William C. McGibbon is associated in co-partnership with Mr. C. H. Allcock and Mr. J. Ruthven Lord. The firm has been located in its present very central and commodious premises since 1870. It occupies the entire five-story building, No. 913 Broadway, and which is twenty feet by one hundred in dimensions. Here they carry what is without doubt one of the largest and best selected stock of goods of their line in the city. It comprises linen and cotton shirtings, pillow-case linens, linen sheetings of all widths, table damasks, bleached and unbleached, table cloths in every size, napkins, doylies, towels, embroidered sheets and shams, quilts, cotton and silk comfortables, blankets, handkerchiefs, etc. In upholstery their stock is equally complete, comprising worsted and silk coverings, woven jute fabrics, mohair, and all silk plush, all the fashionable tapestry and turcoman curtains, raw silk portieres, etc., etc. Their stock of lace curtains is complete, also table covers and shade materials in full and fresh assortments. The firm makes up linen goods when desired, also marks them in ink and embroiders them to order at short notice. The firm does principally a retail trade, but it is an exceptionally comprehensive one, extending all over the United States, from Portland, Me., to Portland, Oregon, and including our best citizens everywhere. The members of the house are all gentlemen of vast practical experience, Mr. McGibbon being conversant with the linen trade from an early date. Mr. Allcock looks after the financial matters, and gives personal attention to all the details of the extensive business. Mr. Lord is likewise a valued member of the firm, having charge of the upholstery branch more particularly.
