| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | A concern which is justly the most prominent in its line in the metropolis is the " Empire City Steam Carpet-Beating and Renovating Works," so centrally and eligibly located at Nos. 1535 and 1537 Broadway. Tiie works were founded sixteen years ago, and have ever maintained a solid reputation for expeditiously doing all work in a veiy superior manner. The works are of large size and fitted up with the most approved appliances, so that they are now absolutely perfect, and perform better work than can be obtained anywhere else, while to meet the growing requirements of the public the capacity of the establishment has recently been increased almost one hundred fold. It is deserving of prominent mention that this is the only carpet-cleaning concern in New York that has the right (as per patent of 1877) to use super-heated steam as applied to carpets. This process alone, from a sanitary point of view, is worth more than the charge for cleaning, as it not only thoroughly disinfects them, but destroys all moths and vermin, and raises and brightens the nap. For the information of those who want to benefit by patronizing a reliable and responsible concern, we may say that the Empire works clean every carpet thoroughly, each one separately by itself, and all moths and their deposits are carefully removed, while the carpets are not strained, ripped nor torn. The dust is removed at once from the apartment by means of a powerful exhaust fan, and afterwards all carpets are thoroughly disinfected by the use of super-heated steam. Mr. Haveland has had vast practical experience in this important branch of industry. The works are coustantly full of business, and among the thousands of our best citizens who annually patronize them are H. K. Thurber, Joseph H. Choate. Dr. Willard Parker, Judge Shea, Dr. Simms, Wm. E. Dodge, Jr., Mrs. Barney Williams, Wheeler Smith, H. B. Hertz, Mrs. A. C. Yates, J. G. Holland, H. Wallaoh, H. L. Hoguet, Rev. Mgr. Quinn, of St. Patrick's Cathedral, and many others. Carpets are taken up and carted free of charge, while the prices for cleaning, etc., are extremely reasonable. The " Empire " has long deservedly held the lead in its important specialty, and justly merits mention in this historical review of the representative business interests of New York City. |
