| TEXT | In a careful review of the commercial enterprises of New York, it will be plainly observable that Rome houses possess great advantages over others in the same line of business, the result in some cases of longer experience, and in others a greater natural aptitude for the peculiar trade or profession. In the business of the importion of fans, fancy goods, and novelties, the house of Messrs. Hecht, Nos. 483 and 485 Broadway, has achieved an enviable reputation for the judgment and taste displayed in the selection of its stock. All goods are purchased direct from the principal manufacturers and producers in Europe, China, Japan, and India, and the newest styles and novelties are obtained immediately they are ready for the trade; while, with regard to prices, the long-established reputation of this firm classes it as the cheapest concern in the city at which to obtain this class of articles. From almost insignificant proportions the trade in all kinds of fancy goods, fans, and novelties has within the last twenty years grown to be one of considerable importance, and the business in these articles is daily increasing. The firm of Messrs. Hecht Brothers was founded originally in 1862, at No. 308 Canal Street, but eventually, in consequence of the great increase of trade, was removed to its present central and eligible location. The individual members of this enterprising firm are Messrs. Bernard, David, and Meyer Hecht, who are thoroughly practical connoisseurs in this department of artistic trade, and who are held in the highest estimation by the com munity as business men of rare energy and upright private citizens. The immense show-room, etc., is 50x200 feet in dimensions, and is well stocked with handsome fancy objects of art and use, arranged in the most careful and systematic manner; these constitute but a small portion of the immense stock of this firm, which has searched every land to obtain the thousands of articles which adorn the mansions of the wealthy and the cottages of our citizens. In this large establishment numerous polite salesmen pay attention to buyers, and the pleasure of a visit is enhanced by their courtesy. In addition six travelling salesmen represent the house at the various centres of wealth and population in this country and Canada. The firm are selling-agents for the American Lead-Pencil Company, whose goods are rapidly attaining a world-wide celebrity. Their extensive factory was erected specially for the production of pencils, and contains the finest of labor-saving machinery. Their pencils combine the utmost perfection with, a minimum of cost. Enterprise, energy, and ability have marked the career of this house in the past, and give ample promise of a long-continued success in the future. |
