| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | An establishment which in every way is representative of the trade in the finest imported woollens is that of Messrs. Woods, Lowry & Co., of Nos. 827 and 829 Broadway, and No. 10 Old Bond Street, London. Theirs is the oldest house in the trade, having been founded over forty years ago by Mr. John Lowry. He was succeeded by the firm of T. R. & J. Lowry, which in turn gave place to that of Lowry & Woods, then Woods & Lowry, and finally to the present co-partnership of Woods, Lowry & Co., the last change occurring over twenty years ago. As a special importer of the finest foreign woollens this house has unsurpassed facilities and connections, and has long led the New York trade. They occupy the entire five-story building, Nos. 827 and 829 Broadway, and which is fifty feet front by one hundred feet in depth. Here is to be inspected what is admittedly the finest and most complete stock of fresh and fashionable foreign woollens that is imported. The firm confines itself strictly to these superior goods, and through its London headquarters is constantly receiving all that is new and desirable. Their trade is of a strictly first-class and very extensive character, as they sell to the leading merchant tailors all over the United States. To meet the requirements of their customers they keep several travellers upon the road. The members of this important house are Mr. James H. Woods, a native of Baltimore, Mr. John Lowry, a native of New York, and Mr. John W. Woolley, a native of New Jersey, all three gentlemen of vast practical experience, excellent judges of woollens, and whose permanent success is attributable to their unremitting energy and enterprise. |
