| TEXT | This is one of the oldest establishments in New York, having been founded by the present proprietor as far back as 1836, and though Mr. Weed is now seventy three years old. he is still as hale and hearty as ever, and looks hack with delight and enthusiasm to the manv happy days he has spent in this city, and also to its wonderful progress, making it the emporium and metropolis of the western world. When he first commenced business the population of New York was not much over one hundred thousand. The magnificent steamboats that now cross the vast Atlantic in seven days were unknown, and the site of the city, which is now covered with splendid buildings, was in a state of nature. The premises occupied are very commodious and well equipped, and in the line of custom work which is turned out the establishment has no superior in this city. Mr. Weed was a member of the Fire Department for three years, and found it was necessary for him to return to his business instead of remaining in the service, as his health was unsatisfactory. As we have said, he makes a specialty of custom work, and those entrusting their orders to him will obtain boots and shoes which. for ease, elegance and style, are unsurpassed by any of his competitors. Personally, he is held in the highest estimation in social and mercantile, circles for his strict honor and probity, and has always been an ardent supplier of any measure which has been brought forward for the good and benefit of his fellow-citizens. The equitable manners in which the business is conducted as well as the excellent quality of the stock, are guarantees sufficiently obvious why persons requiring good boots nd shoes will do well to place their orders with this establishment. |
