| TEXT | This house was originally founded at Stein near Nuremberg, Germany, as far back as 1761, and was conducted with great success by the ancestors of the present proprietor of thf New York establishment. In 1850, Baron Lothar von Faber, the head of the European house, seeing the wonderful prosperity and development of the United States, established a branch at No. 133 William Street, his brother, Mr. E. Faber, taking charge. Eventually, in consequence of increasing trade the business was removed to its present eligible location. The premises occupied are very spacious, and comprise a splendid five-storied building 50x140 feet in dimensions, with basement and subcellar admirably arranged and fitted with every appliance and convenience for the prosecution of the business. Preeminent in its own line of manufacture, and conducted with great judgment and liberality, this house may justly be regarded as one of our leading industrial institutions, and fully entitled to the consideration and respect it so widely enjoys. The factories are located at Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and Newark, N.J., the former manufacturing pencils and pen-holders, the latter India-rubber bands and rings, etc. These works are equipped with all the latest machinery known to the trade, including many original designs used by no other manufacturer. Most of the products of this concern are protected by patents, the goods being shipped to all parts of the United States and Canada, and the volume of business is annually increasing in consequence of the unsurpassed quality of the various manufactures. The trade is strictly wholesale. Six commercial travellers are employed, who represent the concern at the principal centres of wealth and population. Mr. Faber buys all materials required for his factories direct and in large quantities. This, coupled with the advantage of a central position, added to a complete knowledge of all details of his business and the wants of the trade, enables him to be superior in competition with other houses in the same line. All orders are promptly filled, and it is the endeavor of the concern to merit by the strictest principles of commercial integrity a continuance of the support it has enjoyed for upwards of a century. Agencies have likewise been established at Paris, London, Berlin, Vienna, St. Petersburg, and other important cities, this famous house being known in all parts of the civilized world. Mr. Eberhard Faber is a native of New York, and is held in the highest estimation by his hosts of friends for his geniality of disposition and unswerving integrity. He has always manifested the greatest interest in any measure which has been brought forward for the benefit and welfare of his fellow-citizens, and the charitable institutions of New York are indebted to him for his sympathy and generosity. In conclusion, the facilities and advantages offered by this house are such as to afford the trade inducements in prices and guaranteed goods impossible to be obtained elsewhere. |
