THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTProminent among honorable and substantial business houses in Broadway may be mentioned that of Mr. James Stroud, who established this enterprise in 1878, removing to his present eligible location in 1881. The premises occupied are very spacious and commodious, extending from Broadway to Sixth Avenue. The interior arrangements are admirably adapted for business purposes, and a large trade is annually conducted, supplying an extensive demand for all kinds of builders', cabinet-makers', and upholsterers' hardware, mechanics' tools, and that class of articles usually denominated as shelf-goods. Farm-tools and agricultural implements also constitute a part of the trade. Mr. Stroud1 imports largely all kinds of dog-collars, chains, leaders, etc., and also undertakes to perform promptly and carefully bell-hanging and repairing. Popular prices prevail; intelligent and polite salesmen serve customers promptly; orders by mail or telegraph likewise receive immediate attention. To what perfection have we come in the manufacture of tools and implements of trade for the mechanic! And yet can we say that the work now performed by them surpasses that produced by the rude tools in the hands of the artisans of the ages passed away? While these questions are more easily propounded than answered, we are content to know that first-class American tools in the bands of good mechanics are sure to produce the best results. We can safely commend this establishment for excellent tools not to be surpassed by any similar concern, and the reputation of this house for these mechanical articles is annually increasing. Mr. Strond is held in the highest estimation in commercial life for his many sterling qualities and strict integrity, and justly merits the success attained by his ability, energy, and perseverance.
