| TEXT | A vitally important branch of the wholesale trade of New York is that in trunks and bags. It has attained proportions of the greatest magnitude, and has enlisted large capital and the best of trained skill and enterprise. The oldest established firm of successful trunk and bog manufacturers and dealers, and by far the largest in New York to-day, is that of William O. Headley & Son. The-name of Headley has been too long prominent in the trade to require any explanatory comment upon our part, but a reference to the growth and progress of the house will be of interest. Twenty-two years ago the late Mr. William O. Headley founded the business, entering upon the manufacture of all classes of trunks and bags, equipped with vast practical experience, abundance of enterprise, and excellent business methods. He made it a success from the start, and to-day the house founded by him is one of the largest and best known in the United States. Upon the lamented decease of Mr. William O. Headley, his son, Mr. A. O. Headley, who had for some time been actively associated with his father in the business, assumed entire proprietorship, and has conducted it with a constantly widening range of success up to date. His factory is eligibly situated in Newark, N. J., and is of large size, fully equipped, and employing an average of four hundred hands. The firm's salesrooms are most centrally located in Broadway, and are of large size, thirty feet by two hundred in dimensions, and containing tha finest assorted stock of trunks and bags in New York. Mr. Henry C. Albert is the able and experienced manager in charge, and brings to bear the best of trained skill and wide connections with the trade all over the United States. He commands a very large and elegant stock, such as for price and quality cannot be found elsewhere in New York, and some idea of the annual business he does may be gathered, when we state that his house has built and sold more trunks than any other house in the world. Two millions of feet of choice lumber are kept stacked up all the time at the factory, which is under the personal superintendence of Mr. H. Hugo Frantzel, and the trade done is of a corresponding degree of magnitude. Mr. Albert is a merchant of recognized integrity, generally popular and respected, and a review of the business of the house shows that it is worthy of prominent notice, and the Empire City may be Justly proud of having located in her midst the largest concern of its kind in the country. |
