| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | The name of Stites is one of the best known and most respected in the New York jewelry trade, and the existing house of Messrs. D. H. Stites & Son carries on one of the earliest founded businesses of the sort in New York City This business was established in 1836 by Rowland & Saffen. Mr. Howland died in 1847, and two years before that date, or in 1845, Mr. D. H. Stites, nephew of Mr. Howland, and then a youth entering upon commercial life, came with the firm. Upon Mr. Rowland's decease it he came known for a short period as that of Saffen & Stites, the junior partner being Mr. E. Stites. After that it became the firm of Saffen, Stites & Co. Mr. Saffen died toward the end of the war, when a, co-partnership was formed by Messrs. E. and D. H. Stites, under the firm name of E. & D. H. Stites, and who carried on business till 1877, when the firm of E. & D. H. Stites was dissolved, and D. H. Stites continued the business until E. Stites died, in 1880. Since 1877 Mr. D. H. Stites and his son, Mr. Daniel G. Stites, have actively carried on the business under the firm name of D. H. Stites & Son Mr. D. H. Stites was originally located in Ann Street, re-maining there till 1851, when his concern removed to No. 103 Nassau Street, and in 1860 came to No. 12 Maiden Lane, in the then new marble building at that address subsequently removing to their present very central quarters. The firm carries on business generally as manufacturing jewellers and jobbers, and have an extensive trade throughout the city and country. They are both experts Mr. D. H. Stites being a gentleman of vast practical experience in the trade, while Mr. D. G. Stites is an energetic and capable merchant and manufacturer. The Stites family is one of those that early settled in New Jersey, and is v,-ell known and respected throughout that State and also in Philadelphia. Mr. Stites' father fought in the war of 1813, and he himself can relate many interesting reminiscences of the early days of his connection with the jewelry trade of New York, when there were but five or six firms engaged in the manufacture of jewelry. In concluding this brief historic mention of the concern, we have to say that in all respects it is one of the best, as it certainly is one of the oldest in this country, and the success which has attended it has been fairly earned and richly merited. |
