THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTProminent among the old established and deservedly respected houses engaged in this trade is that, of Messrs. Bowerman Brothers, located at No. 97 Wall Street. This house was founded in 1860, and has been permanently located in Wall Street, the office first being situated at No. 91 Wall Street, and where the firm remained in business for many years, eventually removing to their present convenient quarters, and but a few doers below their original stand. The members of the firm are Wm, D. Bowerman, Mr. Benjamin F. Bowerman, and Mr. Henry A. Bowerman, who have been closely identified with the trade for over thirty-five years past. Tbeir personal recollections of the sugar trade are very interesting, and they remember when the bulk of the business transacted with dealers, and through them with the public, was in tha raw sugars, which entered directly into consumption, and which for sweetening purposes have never yet been excelled. The trade in centrifugals is every day increasing in importance. Now, however, the magnificent refineries in operation turn out classes of sugai-s which for purity, fine appearance, and the wants of consumers meet all requirements. The firm annually handle large shipments of Cuban sugars, more than one-half of the total New York receipts of foreign sugars being from the " Gem of the Antilles." as also East Indian and Demerara sugars, and which are, in part, of equal saccharine valu» with those of Cuba. Both members of the firm have had long practical experience in their important branch of trade, and are spoken of and recognized as experts in the line of raw sugars and molasses. The Messrs. Bowerman were among the original members of the Importers' and Grocers1 Exchange of New York, and have shown a warm interest in all measures best calculated to advance its permanent welfare and prosperity. Mr. Benjamin F. Bowerman is a member of the Exchange's Classification and Quotation Committees on Raw Sugars, which bespeaks his intimate acquaintance, with this staple, and whose services as a member of the Exchange are much appreciated. Both he and his brother possess a very valuable fund »f information in regard to the past history and present condition of the trade, and we acknowledge our indebtedness to these gentlemen's statistical tables for an invaluable review of prices and imports, dating back to 1845, and which appears in the historical review of the commerce of this port.
