| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | A widely known and a representative house is that of Messrs. Abraham Besthoff & Son, and who, as the leading importers of fine European fancy goods, have built up a trade of such extended proportions. The business was originally founded away back in 1854, and came under the present firm name in 1879. From the first Mr. Bestlioff sought for classes of fancy goods rarely seen in the American markets, and with unerring judgment, vast practical experience and unsurpassed facilities, he speedily accustomed the public to a display of the richest and most desirable goods the market can furnish, either at home or abroad. The business has developed accordingly, and the best people of the United States are permanent patrons of the house of Abraham Besthoff & Son. The store the firm occupies has been their permanent location, and is one of the most central and elegantly fitted up of any on Broadway. It contains an absolutely complete and fresh stock of the most beautiful fancy goods in fine leather, shell, pearl, ivory, oxidized silver and bronze, comprising walking-canes, umbrellas, riding-whips, travelling-bags, belt-bags, satchels, writing-cases, desks, portfolios, dressing-cases, cutlery, toilet-articles, fans, albums, jewelry, pocket-books, card-cases, work-boxes, smokers' articles, gilt, bronzes, etc., etc. Choice novelties of the most attractive designs are being constantly added to the stock, and the most exacting tastes can be readily suited. Mr. Abraham Besthoff is in Europe most of the time selecting and buying for his house, and it is thus ever in the van. It is also a manufacturer of fine leather goods, superior in quality and finish, while special attention is given to goods made to order. In the manufacture of fine leather goods, the firm acknowledges no superiors, and has built up a splendid reputation for sterling integrity and genuine merit, while both Mr. Besthoff and his son are public-spirited citizens and honored members of the mercantile community. |
