| TEXT | In reviewing the various industries that have made New York the most important city in the Union, it is curious as well as instructive to note the advances that have been made in the different lines of manufacture, and to ascertain exactly the progress that has been secured by industry and capital. Continuous success is the real test of the reliability of all business houses, and this being the just and well-deserved fortune of Messrs. Harris & Russak, the Empire City Fur Company, No. 652 Broadway, no other conclusion can be drawn than that they are fully entitled to the confidence of the trade and public. This house was originally founded in 1850 in Grand Street, and eventually, in consequence of a rapidly increasing trade, was removed in 1879 to its present eligible location, where they have remained for twenty-five years. The premises occupied are very spacious and commodious, and consist of a five-storied building with basement and sub-cellar, admirably arranged and equipped with every appliance and facility for the manufacture of ladies' and gents' furs, seal-skin dolmans and sacques and fur-lined garments, employment in the season being provided for about two hundred skilled workmen. This firm has acquired a most enviable reputation with the trade and public, not only for the unsurpassed excellence of its goods, but for moderate prices and the continuous display of the newest and most stylish seasonable novelties. Their stock is simply immense, and includes an almost endless variety made of the best materials, and finished in a richness of detail unsurpassed, the utmost perfection of taste being shown in ornamentation, cutting and shaping. The business is strictly wholesale, the sales of the firm being principally to the jobbing trade and first-class retailers in all sections of the United States, and are particularly large with the leading cities of the great West. The individual members of this house are Messrs. Alfred Harris and Benjamin Russak, the former a native of New York and the latter of Germany. Both gentlemen are held in the highest estimation by the community for their geniality of temperament and strict integrity, and have always identified themselves with any measure conducive to the benefit and welfare of their fellow-citizens. |
