| TEXT | The name of Burnton has been long and honorably identified with the mercantile interests of the great metropolis, and the business now conducted upon such an extensive scale by Burnton & Co. is the outcome of a steady adherence to the legitimate principles of trade, coupled with industry, enterprise and energy. Mr. Richard Burnton founded this business in 1840, and it has had a continuous and successful existence to date. For twenty years past it has been permanently located in the present eligible and central premises. No. 92 Fourth Avenue, directly opposite llth Street. Mr. Burn-ton was in co-partnership with his brother for some time, and upon the dissolution of the firm he continued the business individually, and for twenty years it was un -der his sole control. Eventually, however, his son, Mr. Maurice E. Burnton, having acquired a thorough practical knowledge of all its details and manifesting talents of a high order, was taken into co-partnership by his father, under the name and style of Burnton & Co., and which has proved a mutually satisfactory and success-tul business relationship from the start. The firm carry on the bookselling and stationery business in all its departments, and deal both wholesale and retail in books, blank-books and stationery, merchants' sundries, school supplies in vast variety, and a serviceable line of miscellaneous goods, noteworthy among which are Brandreth's Pills. Mr. Burnton was with Brandreth when a boy, and has long held the agency for this reliable family remedy. The firm's large establishment is the best equipped of its kind in the city, and is central and convenient to all lines of travel, and is well worthy of the extended measure of patronage it receives. Mr. Richard Burnton is one of our most public spirited citizens. He was a useful and active member of the old Volunteer Fire Department, and as foreman of the celebrated No. 19 Hose Co. was ever foremost in leading them to the post of duty and danger. So popular was he and so ably and faithfully did he discharge the duties of his position, that he was re-elected foreman four different times, besides holding other offices in the company. His name will ever remain honorably identified with the most celebrated volunteer organization New York has ever had. Mr. Maurice E. Burnton is an esteemed and popular member of the 22nd Regiment, and although he has served his time out, he still remains identified with that soldierly body of well-drilled militia, and it is such as he that form the city's safeguard in time of riot and peril. Both Mr. Burnton and his son are natives of this city, and have built up a reputation of the highest character for honesty, liberality and integrity, and justly merit the large measure of success which has attended their mercantile career. |
