| TEXT | In these days of me decay of American shipping interests it is a pleasure to refer to a well-known New York firm which is actively and prosperously engaged in this branch of commercial activity, and whose members have been connected with the trade all their lives. In this connection the attention of our readers is directed to the popular firm of Messrs. William Jex & Co., No. 58 Broad Street, which was established by the present proprietors in 1871. This house is carrying on a large shipping business in Honduras and Central America, their vessels being first class in every respect and especially adapted for this trade, and always obtain full cargoes and a large number of passengers. Their ships are employed solely in the Central American coasting trade, and do not come northward, and have gained an excellent reputation for their reliability and punctuality. The house imports largely rubber, sugar, hides, logwood, etc., and exports dry goods, provisions, canned goods, clothing, and every variety of household utensils. It is admitted that there are no merchants in the United States better able to vigorously and successfully push any new enterprise in the line of the American coasting trade than Messrs. William Jex & Co., who are active steamship agents and owners with every facility at hand and a complete organization in working order. The individual members of this copartnership are Messrs. William Jex and William A. Lee Long, gentlemen of the greatest ability and integrity, and who have always identified themselves with any measure conducive to the welfare of the metropolis. They have ever taken a creditable part in the advancement of this city's commercial interests, and possess a complete knowledge of maritime affairs that with then-energy and experience places their house among our rep. resentative commercial establishments. Mr William Jex, the senior partner, is an esteemed member at the Produce, Coffee, Sugar, and Maritime Exchanges, with which he has been connected in many large and important transactions. The business is conducted on the basis of equity and those interested entering into relations with this house will derive advantages that cannot readily be accorded elsewhere. |
