| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | There is in the arena of metropolitan activity no more important department than that of the building interests, and the magnitude of the trade rendered necessary in this line is best demonstrated by the erection of thousands of buildings of every description in all parts of the city, some of them monumental structures, ten or eleven stories high. The demand for building material has necessarily been of the most extensive character, and in the line of masons' supplies the representative firm engaged in the business is that of Messrs. Manchester & Philbrick, successors to the former concern of Arnold & Co. The present firm began the business in 1875, and it has since then developed to proportions of the greatest magnitude. The present firm bring ample capital, unsurpassed facilities and vast practical experience to bear, and are noted for being hard-working, honorable members of the mercantile community. Their yards are both extensive and conveniently located both as regards the water and land carriage of material. Their yard at the foot of 91st Street and East River is very large, comprising no less than sixteen city lots, and contains the finest and largest assortment of masons' materials in the city. The firm's second yard is eligibly lecated at the end of the Harlem Bridge, in Mott Haven, and comprises six lots of ground, also containing a similarly fine assortment of material. Mr. George N. Manchester, the senior member of the firm, was born in Rensselaer County, New York State, and when about twenty years of age came to the metropolis, and actively entered commercial life, pursuing his career with marked energy and enterprise. Mr. William N. Philbrick is a native of this city, and is also an experienced and progressive business man. Both partners possess vast practical experience and have an intimate knowledge of the wants of the masons' trade, and are fully prepared to fill the largest orders in that prompt and reliable manner which has rendered them so deservedly popular. They employ upwards of twenty men in their yards and give the business close personal supervision. They are both active and influential members of the Mechanics' and Traders' Exchange, No. 14 Vesey Street, and have done much to aid the permanent success and usefulness of that valuable organization. In conclusion the firm's merits are so fully recognized in the community that additional comment upon our part would be superfluous, and New York may well be congratulated on the possession of such energetic business men as they are so well known to be. |
