| TEXT | A name long and honorably identified with the auction trade of New York is that of Walters. The late Mr. Richard Walters established in business as an auctioneer in 1850, and by his honorable methods, energy and enterprise built up a large and permanent trade with a strictly first-class connection, as regarded those who entrusted him with the sale of their goods or effects. His headquarters on East Broadway were for many years the centre for the best attended sales in the city, and his death was deeply regretted by large circles of friends and business acquaintances, who had learned to esteem him for his upright traits of character, and geniality both in public-and private life. He was succeeded by his sons, Mr. Charles F. Walters and Mr. Richard M. Walters, who have retained the respected name of their father, and, as "Richard Walters' Sons," are conducting their large concern upon its old-time basis of enterprise and integrity. Removing from No. 27 East Broadway, they are eligibly located in one of the best and most central sections of Broadway, close to the junction of that aitery of travel with Sixth Avenue, and convenient to the, finest residential and business sections of the city. Here they occupy a building twenty-five feet by one hundred and six, for the arrangement and display of goods to be sold. They are constantly receiving consignments of furniture and merchandise, having superior connections. In addition to private sales at any time of anything in their warerooms, they regularly hold a public auction sale twice a week, always largely attended by discerning buyers, who can in this way constantly pick up excellent bargains, and also a large and well-selected stock at private sale. The firm is noted for making prompt settlements. Satisfaction is guaranteed to consignors in all cases, and the vigorous growth of their business is the best possible proof of the superior facilities they offer for a prompt realization at good prices for merchandise and household furniture and effects. Those in need of any kind or class of furniture, pictures, antiques, bric-a-brac, etc., etc., cannot do better than visit the salesrooms of Messrs. Walters' Sons, for they can here almost always find what they are in search of, at far less than cost. The firm likewise has a fine and well kept storage warehouse adjoining in West 37th Street, extending from No. 108 to No. 120, and where every accommodation is afforded for the storage of furniture, trunks, merchandise, etc. The rates are most reasonable, while it is clean, neat, and unusually convenient of access. The Messrs. Walters are practically experienced in every department of their extensive business, having been brought up to it. They are natives of this city, still in the early prime of manhood, active and enterprising, ever watchful of their customers' best interests, and whose facilities are, we are prepared to maintain, the best in the city of New York today, while their location and accommodations have no superiors. |
