| TEXT | A careful review of the business interests of New York discloses the existence of a class of houses prepared to compete in every respect, in the several lines they represent, with the rival establishments of any city in the civilized world. Their complete stocks, ample resources and re-oiarkable enterprise are matters of which the metropolis has reason to be proud. Among these the casual observer must accord a foremost position to the house of Mr. Edward A. Morrison, No. 893 Broadway and No. 13 East 19th Street, which was originally founded in 1826, and since its inception at that date has always com-manded a liberal and influential patronage from the most refined and wealthy classes of society. Subsequently some slight changes have occurred in its management, until 1876, when the present proprietor succeeded to the business. The premises occupied are very spacious and attractive, and visitors will find the establishment, not only elegantly appointed, but the stock is absolutely unsurpassed by any contemporary concern. A magnificent assortment of millinery goods is always kept on hand, including fine ribbons, laces, embroideries, dress trimmings, fancy articles, small wares, infants' and children's furnishing goods, and every conceivable article that would properly be classed under these general headings. All goods are purchased direct from the most famous manufacturers in Europe and imported by this house, and the newest designs and novelties are to be found here, almost simultaneously with their appearance in Paris or London. Every effort has been made in order to make this establishment perfect in every respect and popular with its patrons. The appointments are everything that can be desired. Handsome elevators are provided for the accommodation of visitors, and prompt, attentive and polite assistants, who are at all times solicitous to please customers, are employed, and system and order pervade all the departments, insuring accuracy and despatch. Mr. E. A. Morrison is held in the highest estimation, in social and mercantile life, for his unswerving honor, and has been constantly an active supporter of any measure or movement which has been brought forward for the general welfare and benefit of the city in which he lives. His high personal character is a sufficient guarantee of the reliable manner in wliich all orders are fulfilled, while the ability exhibited by him in successfully conducting this large and growing business must continue to assure an increased patronage from the best classes of society. In concluding this sketch it only remains to be added that this house is an important acquisition to the city, by virtue of the large number of persons employed, and also in the strictly honorable manner in which all its operations are conducted. |
