| TEXT | One of the most useful factors in mercantile life in large cities is without doubt the auctioneer. A leading house engaged in this line is that of Mr. Thomas Mathews, No. 787 and 789 Broadway, which has earned for itself an enviable reputation among the business men of the city and controls a large amount of the better class of custom. This establishment was originally founded in 1844 by Mr. F. Colton, and continued by him for many years, when Mr. Mathews succeeded to the business. On the death of Mr. F. Colton, in 1882, Mr. Mathews, who had been previously associated with him for the last twenty years, became sole proprietor. The premises occupied are very spacious and commodious, and are stocked with an immense stock of parlor, dining-room, chamber, drawing-room, and ordinary furniture. In addition to the above named assortment Mr. Mathews keeps constantly on hand a full and complete selection of bronzes, statuary, modern and antique, bric-a-brac, antique furniture, French-plate mirrors, pianos, carpets, etc., which are offered for private sale at very reasonable prices. Auction sales of furniture of parties declining house-keeping are held at their residences, and weekly sales of carpets, bedding and furniture are conducted at the salesrooms throughout the year. In all departments of the business equal attention and care are given to offer and keep in stock only such goods as are considered the best of their kind. The system which prevails in the entire establishment indicates the most careful supervision, while the judgment and taste displayed in the selection of the stock proclaim that the proprietor is a man of experience and thorough knowledge of his business, as a visit to the warerooms will amply evidence. Mr. Mathews makes liberal advances on all classes of goods entrusted to him for sale by auction, prompt sales and quick returns being a peculiar characteristic of this house. Liberality and promptness have always characterized all the transactions of this house, and the success which has attended it for forty years is but the just reward of a systematized commercial policy, without which no permanent prosperity is possible. |
