| TEXT | In no branch of industry in the United States has more rapid advance been made than in the manufacture of silver-plated ware. For many years, especially for the finer and more artistic productions, we were compelled to look to Europe for our supply, but to-day American silver-plated ware is superior in excellence of workmanship, beauty of designs, and cost of manufacture to goods made in foreign countries, A leading and most prominent company engaged in this manufacture is the Meriden Silver Plate Co., which was incorporated in 1870, the following gentlemen being the officers, viz.: President, Chas. Casper; Treasurer and Secretary, Robert Curtis; Superintendent, W. R. Makay; Manager of New York branch, R. W. White, Jr. The factories are located at Meriden, Conn, and Toronto, Ont., and are admirably equipped with all the most modern machinery and appliances known to the trade, the former giving employment to six hundred and fifty, while the latter furnishes constant work to three hundred skilled workmen. The principal salesrooms of the company are located at 30 East Fourteenth Street,Union Square; 64 Washington Street, Chicago, 111.; 9 and 11 Church Street, Toronto, Ont.; and agencies all over the United States and Canada. Within the scope of this necessarily brief article it is impossible to give a description of the unsurpassed character of the electro-silver-plated goods manufactured by this company; but it is sufficient to state that they are unequalled in quality, beauty, and general utility by those of any similar establishment either in this country or Europe. The London agents are Messrs. Lotz, Abbott & Co., 35 Queen Street, Cannon Street, E. C., London, England, where an extensive trade is conducted, these articles competing successfully with the finest silver-ware in Great Britain. Messrs. Casper, Curtis and Makay, the principal officers, are highly esteemed in social and mercantile circles for their many excellent qualities and strict probity, and Justly merit the success which has been achieved by their energy and ability. The New York manager, Mr. R. W. White, Jr., has been engaged in this business since boyhood, and was previously with the firm of Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co., and as salesman travelled to all the chief centres of the United States and Canada, and took the control and management of the company's show-rooms and offices in Fourteenth Street in 1879. He is greatly respected by hosts of friends and acquaintances for his many sterling qualities and unswerving honor, and has always been an active advocate and supporter of any measure conducive to the benefit and welfare of his fellow-citizens. Tile equitable manner in which the business is conducted, as well as the excellent quality of the stock, are guarantees sufficiently obvious why dealers and private buyers will do well to place their orders with this house. |
