| TEXT | In no branch of metropolitan wholesale trade has greater enterprise been manifested that in that of hats and straw goods, and the results have been in every sense of the word creditable to the representative houses engaged in the business. Prominently among these is the widely known and popular firm of Messrs. Topping, Maynard & Hobron. Their house is one of the oldest established in the business, having been founded on February 1, 1868, at No. 129 Grand Street, From thence it removed, during the intervening period, to No. 85 Spring Street, thence to No, 113 Mercer, thence to No. 597 Broadway, and finally, three years ago, to their present unusually eligible and central location in the Grand Central Hotel building, not surpassed on Broadway as regards facilities and convenience of access, and which includes the fine store No. 677 Broadway, and the very extensive premises, Nos. 242 to 246 Mercer Street, the whole having the dimensions of fifty feet by two hundred, witli an L twenty-five feet by one hundred, also a roomy basement and sub-basement. Here the firm carry on the most extensive jobbing trade of the kind in the city. Messrs. A. H. Topping and Edwin Maynard are gentlemen of vast practical experience, their connections and facilities being absolutely unrivalled, and giving their close personal attention as they do to all departments of their establishments, their customers find advantages and opportunities not so readily obtainable elsewhere. Their business is divided into two great departments, viz., felts and straw goods. In the former section they handle full lines of alt grades of foreign and domestic stiff and soft felt and wool hats, alike for gents, boys and children. Everything seasonable, new and reliable can here be selected from their immense and well arranged stock, and the same remark applies to their straw goods department. The firm are proprietors of a well-equipped factory at South Norwalk, Ct., where they do considera-ble manufacturing. Their trade has long been noted for its volume and character. It literally extends throughout the continent, covering as it does all sections of the United States, Canada, the West Indies, Mexico, etc., and the annual trade done has attained proportions of the greatest magnitude. The firm keeps a force of from eight to ten salesmen upon the road, and who regularly visit a great number of permanent customers in all the leading centres of population, and whose experience with Messrs. Topping & Maynard has been of the most satisfactory character. Excellent goods at lowest market quotations has long been the unwritten but none the less practical motto of this enterprising house, and it ever retains the highest standard of excellence. The firm handles the famous Melville hats, which have a world-wide reputation. They have attained a wide sale in the United States, and have been permanently introduced by this concern. Their large establishment is a constant scene of activity, and during the busy seasons an average of about one hundred hands are employed. Messrs. Topping & Maynard are energetic men of business, with fine executive abilities, and a perfect system of organization in their handsome establishment. They are deservedly popular in our commercial circles, and by the exercise of strict integrity and a wise mercantile policy have achieved a success which redounds greatly to their credit as representative New York merchants, and places them in the van of the Metropolitan hat and straw goods trade. |
