| TEXT | The extent which many of the commercial industries of New York have attained during the past half century is owing not only to the natural growth and enterprise common to most large communities, but to the pluck and in- domitable perseverance of the sturdy founders, who by their earnest efforts and patient toil have given this market a substantial and lasting growth. Among those houses which have risen to deserved prominence by the enterprise and industry of their projectors must be classed that of Messrs. H. M. Silverman & Co., No. 554 Broadway, whose business was established, originally in 1849, at No. 23 North William Street, and after several changes of location was eventually removed to its present location in 1868. Though founded on a scale far from extensive, the energy and discernment with which the business was conducted were effective in producing the desired results and in building up a trade of the most satisfactory character, and as an evidence of the extent to which operations have been carried a few facts in this connection will not be out of place. The premises in this city occupied by the firm comprise four commodious and spacious floors, twenty-five by two hundred feet in dimensions, admirably arranged and fitted with all modern appliances and conveniences for the prosecution of the business, employment being given here and at the factory in Brooklyn to about four hundred skilled and experienced operatives. The firm manufactures all kinds of ladies' and gentlemen's fine furs, ladies' seal sacques and dolmans, otter, seal and beaver muffs, boas, fur-lined garments, fur caps, gloves, etc., and fancy sleigh robes of all descriptions. The extensive stock of fine furs shown by the firm during the present season is perhaps more complete and elegant than ever displayed before, and embraces all the novelties in furs. From the firm's factory in Brooklyn immense quantities of the finest grades of felt hats and straw goods are constantly turned out, which are unsurpassed for quality, style and workmanship. The firm make a specialty of fine felt hats, supplying the finest trade of New York and the United States. They are the introducers of the styles, and are authority on all matters pertaining to the same. None but the finest goods are handled. The trade is strictly wholesale, several travelling salesmen being employed who represent the house at the principal centres of wealth and population, and the trade of the concern is annually increasing. The individual members of this flourishing firm are Messrs. H. M. Silverman, Ph. Trautwein and R. H. Silverman, the first two gentlemen being natives of Germany and the latter of New York, They are held in the highest estimation by the community for their geniality of disposition and integrity, and their career has been an eminently prosperous one, promoting to a great extent the commercial interests of this metropolis of which they are esteemed citizens. In the particular line of trade in which this firm is engaged and established for a long period, it is unnecessary for us to make use of any commendation, our readers both at home and abroad being amply justified in reposing the highest degree of confidence in the house and its productions. |
