THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTProminent among our oldest-established and best-known China merchants, is Mr. Lionel Moses, of Beaver Street. He first entered commercial life in 1843, being connected with the old house of Isaac Moses & Bro. in 1848, this concern being active in the Mexican trade, and Mexico being at that time in an unsettled condition in consequence of the late war with the United States, the firm sent the subject of this sketch out to Vera Cruz in charge of an invoice of goods. He remained there for three years, and upon his return to New York was, in 1853, sent out to China to represent his house in those important Eastern markets. He sailed in the ship Union, by way of San Francisco, and through stress of weather the ship was obliged to put into Hong Kong, where after refitting she pursued her voyage to Shanghai. He remained in China for two years and then returned home to New York, where in 1856 he established in business upon his own account as an importer, commission merchant, and broker, and his house, under the well-known firm-name of Moses Bros., continued actively in business until about ten years ago, when Mr. Lionel Moses became sole proprietor, and he is to-day one of our most respected old-established merchants. He has been identified with Beaver Street as a location for his offices for upwards of a quarter of a century, and well recollects his old neighbors, who, with the exception of Messrs. McMullen and Lamontagne, have now nearly all passed away. Mr. Moses is descended from an old family. His grand- father was Isaac Moses, who with his sons was in business here in 1700, and were at that time an active house. Mr. Lionel Hoses makes a specialty of the importation of teas, matting, firecrackers, etc., and carries on a large and permanent trade in these staples. There is probably no one better posted than he on the China trade, and we are under obligations to him for information of a valuable statistical character, which he readily furnished. In conclusion it may be stated that Mr. Moses is a very highly respected member of the trade; liberality and a straightforward system of honorable dealing have ever characterized the transactions of his house, and the success which has attended it has been fairly earned and justly merited.
