THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTThe wholesale liquor trade of the metropolis has attained proportions of great magnitude, and large capital and signal ability are centred here in the handling of the immense quantities of wines and liquors placed upon this market. Among our most active and enterprising wholesale merchants identified with this trade is Mr. William Wilson of South William Street. This house was established some twenty-five years ago, and was first located in Pearl Street, subsequently removing to Broad Street, and thence into its present eligible stand in South William Street. Mr. Wilson, the esteemed proprietor, was born in Ireland, and came to New York in 1853. He almost from the first embanked in mercantile pursuits, and has spent most of his life in the metropolis, growing up in the trade. He has had vast practical experience, and is recognized as one of the best judges of liquors in this market. He handles large quantities of the finest foreign and domestic wines and liquors, iuclusive of superior brands of bourbon and rye whiskies. He imports the famous old brands of Irish whiskies known as "Old Bush Mills" and the uComber" brand, and which meet with a large and permanent sale. Mr. Wilson gives close personal attention to his large business, and is a deservedly popular merchant. Further comment upon our part would be superfluous ; suffice it to say that Mr. Wilson is educated to his calling, thoroughly understands the wants of the community, and has built up not only a large and growing trade, but the highest of reputations as an honorable business man and an upright private citizen.
