| TEXT | The rapid advancement in the manufacturing arts which so strongly characterizes our American industries is a subject of interesting study. There w probably no line of manufacture in connection with the dry goods interest which has made greater progress in the last few years than the production of novelties in the line of gents' furnishing goods. This industry has now grown into an important branch of business, affording investment to millions of capital, and giving employment to thousands of operatives. A prominent bouse engaged in this trade is that of Mr. Rufus Waterhouse, No. 678 Broadway, which was established originally in 1876 at No. 563 Broadway, and eventually removed to its present eligible location in 1878. The manufacture of gents' furnishing goods is a business peculiarly adapted to persons of cultured and elegant tastes, and of late years this industry has enabled them to display their talents in devising new styles. The premises occupied are very spacious and convenient, and consist of three floors twenty-five by one hundred and fifty feet to dimensions, admirably arranged and equipped with every facility and appliance for the prosecution of the business, employment being provided for about one hundred skilled and experienced operatives. The trade is strictly wholesale and is annually increasing in volume, in consequence of the unsurpassed excellence of the goods manufactured by Mr. Waterhouse, who gives his personal supervision to the business, thereby insuring that only articles of first-class quality shall leave the premises. The enterprise of this concern has been fully illustrated by the superior character of the articles placed on the market, and the influence exerted by this industry on the community justly entitles its projector to the consideration and esteem with which he is so widely regarded. The equitable manner in which this business is conducted, as well as the excellent quality of the stock, are guarantees sufficiently obvious and manifest why dealers and large buyers should place their orders with this house. |
