THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTOne of the most important interests of the wholesale trade of the metropolis is that centred in straw goods, and in which large capital is invested and an immense stock annually handled. One of the largest and the most enterprising houses directly engaged in the importation of these goods is that of Messrs. Rowe & Bro., of No. 577 Broadway. The firm is composed of Mr. E. V. Rowe and Mr. C. D. Rowe, and was formed six years ago, first locating at No. 533 Broadway. In 1880 they removed to their present unusually central and extensive premises in the marble building, No. 577 Broadway. Here they occupy three floors, each thirty by two hundred feet in dimensions and extending through from Broadway to Mercer Street. Here they carry probably the choicest and largest stock of straw goods in the country. Their trade is a very large one, mostly with leading local houses,, the firm also shipping extensively to factories in the east. Both the Messrs. Rowe are natives of this city, trained and talented business men, and possessed of vast practical experience and unerring judgment as to the requirements of the best class of trade, and their importations command the first attention of buyers. The activity and enterprise of this house need not be recounted here, since its merits are fully recognized by the community, and New York may well be congratulated on the possession of such energetic business men as the members of this firm are well known to be.
