| TEXT | There are few commercial enterprises that add so greatly to the importance of the metropolis as the modern fancy and dry goods palaces of the present day. New York is not behind her sister cities in the procession of such enterprises, as may easily be discovered by a visit to the extensive '' Palais Royal" 14th Street and Fifth Avenue, of which Mr. George Lisner is the esteemed proprietor This house was originally established by the present proprietor in 1865, and continued by him with great success till 1879, when in consequence of a rapidly increasing trade he removed to his present eligible and central location. The premises occupied are very spacious and elegantly appointed, and comprise two splendid floors, one hundred by one hundred and fifty feet in dimensions, and basement for the shipping deportment. The trade is both wholesale and retail, and so far as the character and extent of the stock is concerned, it may be confidently stated that it has no superior in the metropolis, or any other city in the United States. It embraces a diversity of departments, the following being the principal, viz.: gloves, millinery, hosiery, ladles' underwear, corsets, laces, children's outfits, fancy goods, fans and leather goods. A specialty is made of French dolls and imported and domestic jewelry. In the retail transactions of this house the cash plan is adhered to with great advantage to every individual buyer, who through this principle evades a taxation to make good losses which under the credit system could not he avoided. The one-price plan is also strictly maintained, and proves of mutual benefit to purchasers and salesladies. For all goods being marked at the lowest price, much time and consequently money is saved to all concerned by this prompt method of transacting business. All goods are purchased direct from the most famous manufacturers iu Paris, London, Vienna, and Berlin, and in large quantities, and the principle on which the enterprise is conducted is that of just dealing, giving full value for money, and obtaining emolument in increased sales rather than in large individual profits. During the holiday season about one hundred and fifty employees find occupation under the active supervision of competent heads, each of whom in turn is responsible to the proprietor who directs the operations of this extensive establishment Mr. Lisner is a native of Germany, but has resided in this country the greater part of his life, and is a thoroughly practical man, a connoisseur in fancy goods and novelties, and is highly respected by the community as a business man of rare energy anil an upright private citizen. Liberality and promptness have always characterized the operations of this house, and the success which lias attended it is but the just reward of a commercial policy, without which no permanent prosperity is possible. |
