| TEXT | The metropolis has no more important and progressive branch of wholesale trade than that in millinery goods. It is in fact the recognized headquarters for the country in this respect, and large capital and distinguished enterprise and ability are among its characteristic features. In this connection we desire to call attention to the house of Messrs. Sullivan, Drew & Co., as successful as it is progressive and influential in the French millinery goods trade. The business was founded three years ago at Nos. 635 and 638 Broadway, the firm removing to their present magnificent stand on January 1, 1884. The house of Sullivan, Drew & Co. is a very strong one. Its co-partners are gentlemen of vast practical experience and special aptitudes, each for his own department of the trade, thus ensuring a smooth running and capable dispatch of all business. The names of the members of the firm are as follows: Messrs. Thomas Sullivan, James Drew, John Dunphy, Charles S. Lavake, Thomas J. Colton, J. George Johnson. Messrs. Sullivan & Drew were formerly connected with the house of J. G. Johnson & Co. in this same line of business, as was also Mr. Dunphy, he attending to the financial department of the house. As importers and jobbers of French millinery goods they carry an immense and fully assorted stock, occupying specially adapted premises fifty feet by two hundred in dimensions, and extending through from Broadway to Crosby Street, and in connection with which is a roomy basement and sub-basement. Here they carry a complete stock of French millinery goods, composed largely of their own fresh importations, which will be found the most attractive to buyers of any in the city. The departments are as follows: ribbons, silks, velvets, laces, feathers, flowers, millinery ornaments, straw goods, frames, pattern bonnets, ladies' and children's lace caps, etc. The members of the firm unitedly bring to bear a range of experience and intimate practical knowledge of the various classes of millinery goods, as above enumerated, which is absolutely unrivalled in the metropolis, and buyers and the trade generally have not been slow to take cognizance of this fact. Their successful management has met with due appreciation, and their house adds greatly to this city's facilities as a market of supply. The firm are sole agents for the nickel-plated hat-stands so deservedly popular in millinery and dry goods establishments. The magnitude of the business now transacted from this house may be gathered from the fact that in the active season a force of one hundred and twenty-five clerks, salesmen, packers, etc., are kept employed, while from ten to twelve travellers directly represent the firm to its numerous customers in all parts of the United States. The firm form what is undoubtedly the representative house of its kind in the United States, and as such is worthy of permanent record in a review of the leading interests of the great metropolis. |
