THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTThe metropolis is a recognized centre for line tailoring. It is here that we find the best of practical talent, the choicest of imported goods, and the finished perfection in styles. The oldest established and a thoroughly representative house as regards the finest of fashionable trade is the large concern of Messrs. Leavens & Thompson. The business is, as we before remarked, an old one, having been founded in 1833 by Geo. St. John. This pioneer was succeeded by the firm of St. John, Raymond & Co., and the latter by James M. Raymond & Co., a name familiar to the public. In 1880 the copartnership was dissolved, and the present firm of Messrs. Leavens & Thompson was formed, and has since carried on the business most energetically and successfully. The copartners are Mr. Fred. Leavens and Mr. John H. Thompson, both gentlemen of long practical experience in the first class of trade, and who have every facility for carrying it on upon a constantly developing basis. They occupy what may well be termed the most central premises for their business on Broadway, and are direct importers of all the latest styles and most fashionable shades of goods. Importing direct, having skilled cutters, and being tailors of excellent judgment and correct taste, they are prepared to afford their patrons unusual opportunities for securing the very finest class of garments, in fresh materials, and finished as is proverbial with this famous house. There is a very large stock to select from here - another consideration, and the most fastidious can easily be satisfied. The firm's trade is correspondingly extensive, and we are not exaggerating when we term it an international one. They have the patronage of our best people in this city, and customers in almost every State in the Union; also in Cuba, South America, and Europe. Their patronage is a cosmopolitan one, and they keep measurements and patterns for years; filing them away and altering them to suit the styles, when their far away patrons send in fresh orders for clothes. This accommodation and thoughtfulness of the firm meets with the approbation of customers, and theyspeak in the highest terms of the concern's business, like methods. Both gentlemen are natives of New York State, and are worthy members of the community, whose methods and strict adherence to sound business principles have rendered them generally popular and universally respected, and their fine establishment is in every respect a great credit to the metropolitan city of New York.
