| TEXT | In an historical review of the old established and prominent mercantile houses of the metropolis, such as this work proposes to be, it is a pleasure to give space to a short sketch of the widely known and universally respected old establishment of Messrs. Lewis & Conger Importers and dealers in house-furnishing hardware, Nos 601 and 603 Sixth Avenue. This house was originally founded in 1835 by J. and C. Berrian, and continued by them with great success until 1868, when the present firm succeeded to the business. Since the present proprietors have taken charge of the concern, the trade has removed to 1338 and 1340 Broadway. The premises occu- pied are very spacious and commodious and are completely stocked with a splendid assortment of house-furnishing hardware, cutlery, fire-irons, tin. wood and wil-ow ware in the greatest variety, refrigerators, crockery, china, gloss, etc., and a vast array of articles too numerous to particularize. The firm imports directly from European manufacturers, and every novelty comprehended under the heading of crockery, china and glass, useful and ornamental, is to be obtained in this house at most reasonable rates, and satisfaction is guaranteed in every transaction. The individual members of this popu-lar firm are Meesrs. R. V. Lewis and H. C. Conger, who are esteemed and respected in social and mercantile life, both as business men of rare energy and upright private citizens. The vast variety of implements and utensils of every description for household use, and other common purposes, which are classified under the term general hardware, is almost illimitable, and stores like those of Messrs. Lewis & Conger, which are replete with a vast stock, comprise an assortment that is unrivalled for quality and utility, and these goods are in daily request by the housekeeper. The facilities of the house have expanded with the lapse of years since its establishment, and are now such as can only apply to those thoroughly understanding the business, and who are enterprising enough to take advantage of every convenience, whereby all orders may be promptly filled, and with perfect satisfaction to jobbers and private buyers. We have great pleasure in commending this house to our readers as one in every way worthy of confidence, and business relations entered into with it are sure to prove as pleasant as they must be advantageous to all concerned. |
