| TEXT | There are few commercial enterprises that add so greatly to the character of a city as the modern importing houses of the present day, and therefore those in New York must receive their share of attention in this review. From almost insignificant proportions the trade in trimmings for dresses, cloaks and other articles of ladies' attire, has within the last (few years grown to be one of considerable importance, and the business in these articles is daily increasing. A prominent house engaged in the importation of dress-trimmings and buttons is that of Mr. W. Walker, No. 477 Broadway, which was established in 1864, and for eighteen years was located between Grand and Broome Streets on Broadway, but in 1882 was removed to its present eligible position. Mr. Walker imports from the leading houses in Paris, Berlin, Vienna and Saxony all kinds of dress, cloak and millinery trimmings, ornaments, tassels, chenilles, fringes, etc., and the system which prevails in the entire establishment indicates the most careful supervision, while the judgment and taste displayed in the importation of the stock proclaim the proprietor to be thoroughly experienced in the business and acquainted -with the wants of a critical trade. All goods are purchased direct from the principal manufacturers and producers in Europe, and the newest styles and latest novelties are obtained immediately they are ready for the trade, while with regard to prices, the long established reputation of the house is wrell known as the cheapest emporium in the city at which to obtain this class of articles. The premises occupied are very spacious and commodious, and comprise a fine store 25x200 feet in area, extending from Mercer Street to Broadway, well equipped with every facility and appliance for the accommodation of the extensive stock. The trade extends all over the United States and Canada, and is constantly increasing in volume. Personally. Mr. Walker is greatly respected for his many excellent qualities and strict integrity in social and commercial circles, and justly merits the success which he has attained by his energy, ability and perseverance. We can conscientiously commend this house to our readers, both for the superior character of its importations, as well as for the general principles of mercantile probity which are characteristic of its operations. |
