THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTIn reviewing the growth of those well known and enterprising houHes in the metropolis which have become prominent in their special lines of trade, that of Mr. Albert Shumway is entitled to favorable mention. Twenty-five years ago, Mr. Shumway commenced business in John Street, and has in the interval built up a trade and a reputation of the highest character. Four years ago he removed to his present eligible location, so central in the main thoroughfare of the metropolis. Here he carries a complete line of straw goods, in addition to everything in the lines of hats and bonnets, flowers, feathers, modes, ornaments and novelties. Mr. Shumway is probably the oldest established jobber in this city in the line of ladies' and children's fine straw goods, and being connected with some of the largest manufacturers in his line, is enabled to offer active advantages to his patrons. His trade is a very extensive one, comprising both that in the city and one reaching to all parta of the country, requiring the services of four travellers on the road, and representing very large annual sales. Mr. Shumway is a talented business man of vast practical experience, and whose goods have stood the test of the best critics in the trade and are unexcelled in every way. He is a native of Massachusetts, for thirty-six years a resident in this city, and for the first ten years of his commercial career was clerk in an old straw-goods house in Cedar Street near Pearl. His show-rooms are among the most attractive and methodically arranged in the city, and embrace complete lines not only of straw-goods, but also hats, bonnets, and lines of patterns in every branch of millinery. He carries a large stock of seasonable fine goods. As a business man and promoter of the industrial interests of our city, he has ever borne the highest of reputations for unsullied honor and strict integrity.
