Manufacturer of Paper Hangings. |
| ZEIT | 1884 |
| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | The manufacture of paper hangings has long been a special feature of metropolitan industrial activity, and one might almost say a branch of business exclusively confined to New York, for it is here that all the representative houses in the trade are gathered. Prominent among the comparatively few concerns that give the trade its character and importance is that of Mr. W. N. Peak, who began in business eight years ago, his salesroom and office being located at first in Fulton Street, then on Canal Street, and since 1882 in his present unusually central and commodious premises, at No. 688 Broadway, and which are twenty-five feet by one hundred and twenty-five in dimensions. Mr. Peak's factory is now situated at Nos. 257 and 259 Water Street, Brooklyn, but his new large factory is fitted up in a strictly first-class manner, with all modern machinery, and the most approved presses and appliances for the production of his justly celebrated paper hangings. He makes a specialty of employing the finest talent in the line of designing in the country, and his patterns are all strictly original with him, and are strikingly effective and artistic in appearance. His salesroom displays one of the finest and most complete stocks in the city of fine and medium grades of paper hangings, and his goods have a correspondingly extensive and permanent sale. Some idea of the business done by him may be gathered when it is stated that he employs an average of from forty to fifty hands in his factory, and requires the services of five to six men on the road, and whose connections extend from one end of the country to the other. Mr. Peak is a gentleman of vast practical experience in this important branch of trade, and has perfected his arrangements and brought to bear a degree of talent which has steadily told, and it is a well known fact that his goods are favorites on the market. He is noted for his honorable business methods and sterling integrity, and is one of the most popular manufacturers and merchants in the city. |
