| TEXT | This notable establishment was founded nearly half a century ago by the father of the present proprietor. B. A. Shotwell was admitted to a partnership in the business in 1870, at which time the firm name and style of B. A. Shotwell & Son was assumed. This co-partnership was dissolved in 1878, Mr. Shotwell senior continuing the tobacco business at No. 174 Eighth Avenue until the next year, when he sold out to William H. Weed & Co. Mr. B. Shotwell occupies an entire six-story building, and now has in process of construction another building to be used for manufacturing purposes, in rear of the one now in use, which will be still higher and more commodious. Three hundred and fifty persons are afforded constant employment in this immense establishment. Who shall measure or set a limit to the good which may be done by the mind having force enough to construct a harmonious whole out of such a mass of people and cause them all to labor contentedly, that general success may be the result alike to the employer and employee? These ends seem to have been attained in this hive of industry. Mr. Shotwell is also an importer and dealer in Havana and seed-leaf tobacco. He is a native of New York, born 1844. The business of this great manufactory is simply immense, and extend: throughout the entire United States. Mr. Shotwell is a clear-headed, sharp, discerning business man and justly holds a high position in mercantile circles. He is also a courteous and agreeable gentleman who makes many friends in social life. He makes a specialty of the biand called the "Cloud Cigar," made from the finest selected imported tobacco the market affords. This is a special favorite with the lovers of "the weed," and gives .great enjoyment to the consumer. |
