| TEXT | New York, as the recognized centre of the fine arts trade, has caused a very important demand to spring up for the most superior class of picture frames yet. manufactured. In addition are the wants of the retail trade, so that our leading picture-frame manufacturers, have built up a patronage and connections of a very extensive and first-class character. The oldest established manufactory of looking-glass and picture frames in this, city is that of which Mr. William B. Short is the active proprietor. It is an interesting fact that this concent dates back to 1840, at which date his father founded it. Mr. Short himself has been connected with the trade for the last thirty years, and is probably more eligibly and. centrally located than any one else in the same line. His factory is situated in Leavitt's Art Gallery building, No. 817 Broadway, corner of 12th Street. Here Mr. Short manufactures all the choicest and newest styles of fine looking-glass and picture frames, selling to the trade and private parties, and filling orders for many of our wealthy-art connoisseurs, whose valuable pictures merit the best frames that are manufactured. The desirable bronze frames are a leading specialty with him, and regilding is done in the best possible manner. Fine goods only are turned out by him, and they are recognized standards in the trade. Mr. Short gives employment to from six to ten skilled hands, according to the season, and is one of our most active manufacturers. He is a native of New York, and is well known in the community for his honesty, integrity and superior talents, the business of which he is proprietor being in all ways a credit to himself and to the great metropolis. |
