| TEXT | Continuous success is the real test of the reliability of all business houses, and this being the happy and well deserved fortune of Messrs. Allhausen & Johnston, corner Mercer and 3d Streets, manufacturers of ladies' and gents' furs, sealskin sacques and dolmans and fur-lined garments, no other conclusion can be drawn than that they are en-titled to the entire confidence of the trade and to our cordial endorsement. This house was established many years ago and is one of the most important, either in this country or Europe, and it carries on an extensive trade, the following being branch establishments, viz.: London. Nos. 37 and 39 Carter Lane, St. Paul's Church Yard: Glasgow, No. 74 Buchanan Street; Leipzig. Brühl Nos. 65 and 66 Bruhl: Dublin, Wicklow Chambers; Paris, No. 2 Rue de Braque: Moscow, Grosse Lubjanka. Furs from the earliest times have played an active part in the clothing and covering of mankind. In an uncivilized state they formed his only protection from the inclemency of lin-weather, and when civilized they become not only useful and necessary for clothing but are considered fashionable adornments. It is a well established fact that furs are never out of fashion, although it is occasionally reported in fashionable journals that " fur will not be worn," but these reports are little heeded by such eminent and famous firms as Messrs. Allhausen & Johnston, who well know as the season approaches these rich and costly articles will be found adorning the forms of our wealthy and aristocratic people, Messrs. Allhausen & Johnston have acquired a most enviable reputation among the trade, not only for unsurpassed excellence of their goods, but for moderate prices, and the continuous display of the newest seasonable novelties. One reason perhaps of their remarkable success is the fact that they buy all their skins in the raw state direct, thus saving importers' profits, and have them dyed and dressed under their own personal supervision. Their stock is simply immense and includes an almost endless variety, made of the very best materials, and finished in a richness of detail, the utmost perfection of taste being shown in ornamentation, cutting ami shaping. Their New York house is carried on by the resident partners of the firm. Messrs. F. Gross and T. Mau with Mr. George Abel as manager, the latter gentleman having had charge of the business since 1881, and is very favorably known in the fur trade of this city for the last ten years, being greatly respected in social and commercial life for the many sterling qualities he possesses. Mr. T. Man has been connected with the ftrm in London from the time of its foundation, and as a thoroughly practical furrier is especially adapted to make the manufacturing department a great success, while Mr. F. Gross, after having Had an extended experience in the fur trade in Russia, Germany, France and England, haw been engaged for the last number of years with the Leipzig and London houses of this gigantic concern. The trade is strictly wholesale and the premises occupied consist of a three-storied building with basement, at the corner of Mercer and 3d Streets, which is very spacious and commodious, admirably equipped and fitted with every appliance and convenience for the prosecution of the business. This house, as may be inferred, is widely known for its superior products, and the high estimation in which it is held by the trade is due to a long course of honorable and liberal dealing with its customers, and those farming relations with it may rest assured that their interests will be carefully guarded. |
