| TEXT | It is now about a quarter of a century ago that the demand for foreign china and glassware arose to prominence, causing the foundation of many important houses for the importation of these classes of goods, one of the most prominent of them being conducted by the present firm of Messrs. Gilman Collamore & Co., No. 19 Union Square, West. This business was founded in 1862, and since its inception has always commanded a liberal and influential patronage, in consequence of the unsurpassed character and quality of its varied and magnificent stock. The firm has its sources of supply in Limoges, Sevres, Paris, Yokohama, Dresden, Worcester and Rudostadt, and in imported goods their glassware and china, brought from every prominent pottery and glass-factory in the world, constitute one of the most striking evidences of man's wonderful power in the region of art. The premises occupied are very commodious and spacious, admirably equipped with every facility and convenience for the display of the magnificent stock and the comfort of customers. The assortment is very full and complete, and comprises the finest Dresden china, porcelain, bric-a-brac, splendid glassware of every description, crockery, Parian marble statues, and fancy goods of every kind suitable for presentation or wedding presents. These are arranged with great effect, and constitute but a small portion of the immense stock of the firm which has searched every land to obtain the thousands of articles which adorn the mansions of the wealthy and the cottages of our citizens. In this immense establishment a large number of experienced and attentive clerks and salesmen pay polite attention to visitors, and the pleasure of a visit is enhanced by their courtesy. The business conducted is both wholesale and retail, and the house, being a large buyer and importer direct from the most celebrated manufacturers, can always offer unsurpassed inducements to those who favor it with their patronage. The individual members of this co-partnership are Messrs. Gilman Collamore and John J. Gibbons, gentlemen whose long experience and unimpeachable character fully entitle them to the respect and esteem of the community and the confidence of their patrons. Some of the goods imported by this house are unequalled for beauty of design in this country, and some of the china is so valuable that a dozen plates are estimated to be worth one- thousand four hundred and fifty dollars. The ordinary stock, however, is sold at legitimate market prices. The senior partner, Mr. G. Collamore, is a native of Massachusetts, and personally attends to the financial affairs of this extensive business, and is highly esteemed by the community as an honorable merchant and upright private citizen. A remarkable feature that may be mentioned in connection with the Collamore family is, that of five brothers, the whole have embarked in the same line of trade and have met with the most gratifying success, and the name " Collamore " is a household one with the trade. The extent, variety, quality and character of the entire stock of this house merit the attention of critical and prudent buyers, and the trade and public forming business relations with Messrs. Gilman Collamore & Co. will obtain advantages and benefits difficult to be duplicated elsewhere. |
