| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | Among the repretentative establishments which contribute so largely to maintain the supremacy of New York's import and wholesale trade is that of Joseph Beckel & Co. the widely and favorably known importers and manufacturers of corsets. The esteemed head of the house Mr. Joseph Beckel, was a member of the old firm of Beckel Bros., opticians, who commenced business as far back as 1852. In 1867, Mr. Beckel founded his present house, which, under the existing firm name, embarked in the manufacture and importation of the best classes of corsets, and has had an eminently prosperous career thanks to the skill and energy of the co-partners. The firm is largely engaged in the manufacture of corsets having three extensive factories ; two in Europe, located respectively at Brussels and Goeppingen, and the third in America, at New Haven, Connecticut. In the latter establishment alone they employ from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty hands, and in their foreign factories in proportion, thus giving them unsurpassed facilities for meeting all requirements of their enormous trade. Their New York establishment is unusually eligible and central in location, being situated in the best wholesale section of Broadway, the premises be ing of large size, thirty feet by one hundred and seventy-five in dimensions, and wherein is displayed the largest and most complete stock of ftne corsets to be'f ound in the metropolis. They are the sole agents in this country for the Justly famous "P.D." French corsets, the most perfect, elegantly shaped, and easy wearing corset in existence. This firm's corsets combine all the advantages of durability and elegance with the greatest possible comfort, while they are decidedly the most economical corsets aver offered to the public. They are sewed, stayed and finished with the utmost care, only the best of material being used, increasing the length of the waist, and guaranteed to produce a graceful and beautifully shaped figure; they neither stretch nor break on the hips, and are proof against perspiration, being in fact unrivalled in the United States and throughout the whole of Europe, where they are equally well known and appreciated, for securing to the wearer an admirable fit, and rendering the figure perfect in outline and contour. Their goods are manufactured exclusively for the best class of retail trade. These goods have taken gold medals at Utrecht, Holland, in 1876 ; Paris, 1878 : Brussells, 1880; Amsterdam, 1883 ; Louisville, Kentucky, 1883, and Boston, 1883. The firm does a trade of corresponding magnitude, and which extends throughout every section of the United States and Canada. The members of the firm are Mr. Joseph Beckel, Mr. Benjamin F. Beckel, and Mr. Isaac Strauss. The senior partner is a native of Germany, and a gentleman of vast practical experience, and of excellent judgment and superior executive abilities. Messrs. Benj. F. Beckel and J. Strauss are natives of New York, and both active and enterprising business men, who give close personal attention to all details of the great trade which their house controls. The high standing of this house is fully recognized in the community, and New York may well be congratulated on the possession of such energetic merchants as the members of this firm are so well known to be. |
