| TEXT | It is a marked feature in the growth and development of every community that as wealth, refinement and education increase, so also in keeping with its progress in this direction springs a demand for those objects of art and decoration which tend to embellish aud beautify our homes. This reflection may be said to be particularly true with regard to New York, the citizens of which have long been known for their appreciation and patronage of any undertaking that would tend to promote and elevate the tastes of the people. In this city, among those who give their attention to fresco and plain painting, we may mention the name of Mr. Thomas Harrington. No. 1591 Broadway, who established himself in 1876 with only five hundred dollars as capital, and who is now one of the leading fresco and plain painters in New York, employing many hands, and we are happy to say he believes there is honor in any calling when one attains first position. He is a thorough workman, and possesses the happy faculty of originating designs and harmoniously blending colors and shades to produce a pleasing aud artistic effect, and ranks among the leading fresco painters in this community. During the past year he has painted and decorated the Grand Central Depot, and numbers of tile largest hotels, churches and public buildings throughout the country, and performs all the work of the Hudson River Railroads and various other leading companies. Mr. Harrington is a native of England, where he learnt his trade, and is a self-made man, and the architect of his own good fortune. He, is held in the highest estimation in social and commercial life for his unswerving honor and strict integrity, and has always identified himself with any movement conducive to the good and welfare of his fellow citizens. In conclusion it may be remarked that this gentleman is in every way a representative in his line of business; and those intrusting their business to him will secure the greatest satisfaction in the thoroughly good and substantial manner in which all work will be accomplished. |
