| TEXT | The metropolis has long been noted for being the centre of the wholesale clothing trade of the United States, and the command of large capital, coupled with the known energy and enterprise of the representative members of the trade, has permanently retained the supremacy. Prominent among the largest houses which give tone and character to the trade is that of Messrs. Banner Brothers, of No. 596 Broadway, and Nos. 5 and 7 Sansome Street, San Francisco. The business was originally founded in San Francisco some twenty-five years ago by the Messrs. Banner Brothers, and by reason of their great skill and excellent practical judgment, coupled with their honorable methods, they early secured a trade and a connection far ahead of any house in their line on the Pacific coast. The enlarging scope of their trade directed their attention to New York as the appropriate centre at which to conduct their manufacturing interests, and the decision has proved an eminently wise one. They occupy four floors in the magnificent white marble building, No. 596 Broadway, fifty feet by two hundred and ten in dimensions, and which affords none too much space for their fine offices, show-rooms, stock-rooms, cutting de_ partment and work-rooms. Some idea of the magnitude of the business transacted here may be gathered when we state that upwards of five hundred hands are employed, rendering it an important and worthy factor in the industrial interests of the city, while from eight to ten experienced salesmen directly represent "the firm to all the important clothing houses and jobbers and dealers throughout the length and breadth of the land. Mr. S. Banner, attends to the manufacturing department of the business, every detail receiving his personal supervision, and no article is allowed to leave the establishment which is known to have the slightest defect. The firm manufactures medium and fine grades of goods only, and bring vast practical experience to bear in the selection, cutting, making and finishing of their goods, and which have earned a reputation upon their merits of being the best made and most stylish and reliable goods on the market, the greatest care and watchfulness being exercised all through the process of manufacture. The force of employees are thoroughly competent, well-organized, and the establishment is not only one of the largest in its line in the country, but one of the best managed, the proprietors manifesting executive abilities of the highest order. Mr. H. S. Mendelsohn, Secretary of the Clothiers' Association of New York City, has charge of the credit department, and is one of the most favorably known and responsible business men in the metropolis, ably and faithfully discharging the onerous duties devolving upon him. In San Francisco, as \ve before remarked, the firm at Nos. 5 and 7 Sansome Street have the finest wholesale clothing house on the Pacific coast, ranking with the most prominent commercial establishments in California, and affording proof of the energy and talents of the esteemed proprietors, who may well feel a justifiable pride in the enduring success of their model institutions, alike an ornament and a source of strength to the greatest cities of the east and the west. |
