| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | It is almost marvellous to contemplate the magnitude which the wholesale confectionery trade has attained in this country, when compared with the narrow limits to which it was circumscribed fifty years ago. Probably no business has had a more rapid growth during that period, and this is mainly due to the enterprise and energy of those merchants concerned iu the business. The Americans, especially the rising generation, are probably the largest consumers of candy and confectionery in the world, and the productions of our manufacturers of these wholesome and delicious luxuries can compete favorably with those of France, which country, for a long period, has been considered the most successful in this particular line. The most prominent house engaged in the confectionery business is that of Mr. A. H. Brummell, whose wholesale store is located at Nos. 408 and 410 Grand Street, with branch retail shops at Nos. 831 Broadway and 883 Sixth Avenue. This establishment, which is the oldest in the trade, was originally established as far back as 1815, in Pearl Street, by Mr. Wm. Brummell, who was living up to July last, 1884, when he died at the age of ninety-four years, having lived a life of thrift and integrity. No man was more charitable than he, and during his life he aided many a poor family and deserving man, and hundreds there are who mourn in his demise a faithful friend and wise counsellor. At the time of his decease he conducted the store at No. 54 Third Avenue, and was always noted during his long business career for his unswerving honor and strict integrity, and obtained a success in his enterprise which is accorded only to those whose operations have been conducted on the never changing principles of equity and probity. Three generations are now engaged in this business in New York, but the principal responsibility devolves on the proprietor. Mr. A. H. Brummell, the son of Mr. W. Brummell, who is widely known to the community as a gentleman of unimpeachable integrity, and who has conducted the affairs of this house with the greatest ability, skill and energy and the result has been that this establishment is considered to be the leading one in this line in this country. Purity is the main essential with these goods, and to-day the difficulty to obtain candies and confectionery devoid of adulteration and deleterious substances is so great, that the advantages of dealing with a house whose reputation is so high for making none but the purest and best goods are at once manifest. A large and increasing trade is annually transacted in consequence of the unsurpassed quality of the confectionery, as our citizens have long realized the fact that at Brum-meirs the best candy can always be obtained. The factory is a very commodious and spacious five-storied building, admirably arranged and equipped with all the latest machinery and apparatus known to the trade, employment being given to many skilled and experienced salesmen and confectioners in the various departments of this business. An immense trade is transacted without the assistance of travelling salesmen, etc., solely on account of the quality, purity and reliability of Mr. Brummell's confectionery, which is highly esteemed all over this vast country, from Canada to Texas and from Maine to California. It is impossible in a short sketch to do justice to this famous house, but it is manifest that for purity and flavor these goods cannot be excelled by any similar concern in the United States or Europe. |
