| TEXT | Nothing whatever in the way of millinery adornment can ever supersede ostrich feathers. Other descriptions of feathered ornamentations have their seasons of fashionable favor, and artificial flowers and metal decorations will always be more-or less in vogue, but the beauty and gracefulness of ostrich plumes will always cause them to be the most elegant head-dress for ladies. Among the importers and manufacturers of ostrich feathers exclusively, few can display a finer assortment than can be seen at the salesrooms of Messrs. G. Silva & Co., Nos. 653 and 655 Broadway. This is the oldest house in the trade, its members having long experience, and are authorities upon all matters connected with the business. The firm have likewise establishments at Paris. No. 40 Rue d'Hauteville, and London, No. 12 Edmund Place, E. C. Considering the immense consumption of ostrich feathers, it is somewhat surprising that their prices have not advanced largely beyond present quotations. It is likewise true that the feathers of the domesticated birds do not equal in lustre and fineness those of the wild ones, but unless too closely compared, they are nevertheless very handsome, and constitute an important item in the general trade. The stock includes a complete line of the best Egyptian and Cape feathers, together with fine goods in all grades. The trade is with manufacturers and jobbers in the principal cities and towns throughout the United States and Canada. The individual members of this house are Messrs. George Silva, Edmund and V. Prosper Sciama, who are highly esteemed in mercantile circles for their strict integrity. Liberality and promptness have always characterized this firm, and the success which has attended this enterprise is but the just reward of a commercial policy, without which no permanent prosperity in possible. |
