TEXTHandsome carpets and oil-cloths are now properly regarded as but parts of an harmonious whole in considering the subjects of household furnishings and interior decorations. The products of the carpet-looms of to-day are works of art, and these indispensable articles for covering our floors are no longer confined to the homes of the opulent, the economy of steam production placing them within the reach of ouf working classes. One of the leading carpet warehouses in this section cf the city of New York is that of Mr. Win. Rowe, No. 434 Canal Street, which was established in 1851 at Hudson Street near Canal, the first carpet-store on the west side, and since its inception at that period has always obtained a liberal and influential patronage. The premises occupied are very commodious and spacious, and are furnished with all modern conveniences that good taste and enterprise can suggest for the prosecution of the business. The stock of goods shown here embraces all leading novelties in carpetings, oil-cloths, etc., China, cocoa, and Napier mattings. In these articles Mr. Rowe carries an extensive stock received direct from the manufacturers, and shows an ample assortment of all the standard designs and new shades and colors, a trade being carried on that extends throughout New York and New Jersey. Popular prices prevail; polite and attentive assistants serve customers intelligently and promptly. Mr. Kowe is held in the highest estimation in social and commercial circles for his unswerving integrity and geniality of temperament, and is a gentleman of great enterprise and energy. His ancestors were among the early pioneers of New Jersey, and his grandfather, Caleb Tuttle, was remarkable for his valor and bravery in the army of the Revolution under General Washington, and settled after the war near Morristown, N.J. The father of the subject o£ the present sketch was William Rowe. He died at the family homestead in 1863. The descendants of this popular family still occupy and own the same farm which was cleared by their ancestors, and have always manifested the greatest interest in any measure which has been advanced for the benefit and welfare of their fellow-citizens. Mr. Rowe is a native of New Jersey, but has resided in New York the greater part of his life. In 1863 he was elected collector of taxes of Hanover Township, Morris County, N. J. Personally he is highly esteemed by the community for his kind and courteous manners and strict integrity, and justly merits the success attained by his energy, ability, and perseverance.
