THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTOne of the most active and enterprising houses in a most important branch of trade is that of Messrs. Cummings & Check, of No. 458 Broadway, corner of Grand Street. They are engaged in the importation of fine tie silks and the manufacture of men's neck-wear and the famous "Elastic Yoke Shirts." The business was originally established four years ago on Lispenard Street, and has been located in its present eligible quarters for the past year. The copartners, Mr. William A. Cummings and Mr. Thomas J. Check, are both possessed of vast practical experience in their line of trade, and have special facilities for the early importation of the choicest novelties in English and French tie silks, and which are very popular with the trade. In addition to its active import trade, the firm is also extensively engaged in the manufacture of men's neck-wear in great variety and of the justly famoiis " Elastic Yoke Shirts," the reputation of which for appearance, comfort, and durability places them at the head of the list. The copartners are both very active, hard-working business men, and give every department of their concern the closest personal supervision. They oversee all the processes of manufacture, and can thus guarantee the high quality of all goods leaving their doors. Their lines of neck-wear are remarkably handsome, covering every novelty brought out in tie silks, and always meet with the closest attention of buyers. The firm employ an average force of from sixty to seventy-five hands in their factory, and require the services of a number of men on the road, their trade extending throughout every section of the United States, and having attained proportions of the greatest magnitude. Personally Messrs. Cummings & Check are very popular, and are noted in commercial circles for their honorable methods and sterling integrity, and well merit the large measure of success which has attended their well-directed exertions.
