| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | The boot and shoe business has long been one of the leading industries of New York, and the productions of this city in this line are known and appreciated throughout the United States and Canada. A prominent house engaged in this trade is that of Mr. Edwin A. Brooks, who established this enterprise originally as far back as 1848, but removed to his present eligible location, at No. 1196 Broadway, in 1871. In quality, style and finish Mr. Brooks' goods have obtained an enviable reputation, especially with the cadets at West Point, and the officers of the army, and this good name has been well merited, and is maintained with the most scrupulous care. In the stock will always be found a complete assortment of fine boots, shoes and gaiters for gentlemen and boys, and in the line of articles for ladies, misses and children everything that is new, fashionable and stylish, from the strong walking boot to the dainty kid slipper. Mr. Brooks makes a specialty of his patent cork-sole boots and shoes, which are non-conductors of heat and cold, and are perfectly waterproof, and have been found very beneficial in cases of rheumatism and kindred diseases. This patent was granted him in 1874. The assortment of goods is unexcelled as to quality, style and finish, and prices will be found even lower than those of any similar first-class establishment. He gives special attention to making boots and shoes to order for ladies and gentlemen, in all the desirable styles, in the best manner, and from first-class imported materials only, employment being constantly provided for forty skilled workmen. Mr. Brooks is a native of Pennsylvania, and has resided in New York the greater part of his life, and is held in the highest estimation in social and mercantile life for his many estimable qualities and strict integrity. Those interested requiring really elegant articles cannot do better than give their orders to this establishment, where they will obtain advantages difficult to be duplicated elsewhere. |
