THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTOf those branches of industry connected with the cleansing and renovating of our daily attire, attention is due to the firm of Messrs. Gardner & Vail. No. 773 Broadway. This house commenced on a small scale in this city in 1878, and by industry, perseverance, and econ omy has risen from a small beginning till it is now one of the leading establishments in its line in this country. The firm owns and occupies a commodious and spacious five-storied building, which is entirely devoted to the carrying on of its business, fitted with the most modern machinery and appliances, and furnishing employment to 130 operatives. Every care is taken that the work nhall be executed in a first-class manner, and Mr. Vail exercises a personal and practical supervision of the whole establishment. This house was originally established by Messrs. Gardner & Vail, and on the retirement of Mr. Gardner Mr. Vail became sole proprietor, but still continued to trade under the style and title of the old firm. In his branch of the laundry business Mr. Vail commands a first-class trade, having 236 agents located all over the United States, who collect collars and cuffs and forward them by express to the head office. Every care is exercised that the goods shall leave the establishment in a perfect condition, and this attention has had a great influence on the trade of the house, persons finding that their collars and cuffs are washed in the best manner without tearing or other injury. Mr. Tail possesses a branch store at No. 165 Fulton Street, in the Knox Building, and deals in all the latest styles of collars and cuffs, all orders by mail or telegraph being promptly attended to.
