| TEXT | The representative concern of its kind in the United States, and the only one which has developed a most extensive export trade to all parts of the world, is the Peters & Calhoun Company, of No. 691 Broadway, the well known importers and manufacturers of saddlery and harness. The names both of "Peters" and "Calhoun," are too widely celebrated in the annals of the trade to require special descriptive mention here. Suffice it to say that they were formerly the representatives of two large houses, Mr. George Peters, of Newark, N.J., and the firm of Hoover, Calhoun & Co., of No. 362 Broadway. In 1874 the two concerns were consolidated under the incorporated name of the Peters & Calhoun Company, since which date its trade has been constantly and deservedly increasing in proportions of magnitude. The company's officers are as follows: Mr. G. Willis Peters, President; Mr. John L. Dodge, a gentleman widely known in financial circles, having been the president of the National Mahawie Bank, Great Barrington. Treasurer; Mr. J. S. Dodge, who also occupied an important position in the same bank, Secretary and Assistant Treasurer, and M. George Peters, General Manager. Mr. Calhoun died two years ago, his decease being deeply regretted by his business associates and the community at large. The company's manufactory is one of the largest and most important industrial establishments of Newark, N. J., and is the best equipped and most complete concern of the kind in the country. A force of from three hundred and fifty to four hundred men are employed there the year round, and annually turn out an enormous quantity of the finest qualities of saddlery and harness for both the home and the foreign markets. The company are contractors to the United States government, filling large orders for cavalry equipments and commissariat outfits, etc., etc., in such a prompt and satisfactory manner as to elicit the warmest commendations of the military authorities. The company's salesrooms are situated at No. 691 Broadway, one block above the Grand Central Hotel, and are among'the finest and most eligibly-and centrally located in the city. The premises are 40x130 feet in dimensions, and contain what is undoubtedly the best and most complete assortment of samples of fine harness and saddlery ever gathered together under one roof. Limits of space prevent our describing the magnificent array of goods manufactured and carried by the company. The choicest of leather materials, fittings and mountings only are used, and the closest supervision is constantly maintained over all the processes of manufacture so that the officers of the company are enabled to guarantee the excellence and reliability of all goods leaving their establishment. Mr. George Peters, the general manager, is a manufacturer of vast practical experience, and has long been noted for his energy and enterprise. Under his eye the fine system of organization maintained in the factory attains the best of results and the highest range of efficiency is secured. The company does a wholesale trade that covers every section of the United States and all over the world as well, exporting as it does to Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, South America, Ne-Zealand, Australia, etc., and turning out some of the most elaborately furnished and elegant specimens of saddlery and harness ever exhibited. The company is the largest Louse in its line in the country, and is familiarly known throughout the trade for the reliability and beauty of its goods. Mr. G. Willis Peters, the president, is a gentleman too widely known in commercial circles to require ex tended comment at our hands. He ably presides over the honorable policy and development of the company's interests, and is well worthy of the large measure of success attained. Messrs. John L. and J. S. Dodge, the active treasurer and secretary of the company respectively, ably and faithfully discharge the onerous duties devolving upon hem, and manifest an executive capacity of a high order. Mr. George Peters, as before remarked, has the general management, and is so well qualified for the position that further comment is superfluous. The company has developed a distinctively American enterprise - one re-lecting the highest credit on all concerned, and which both as a meritorious employer of skilled labor upon an extensive scale and as an exponent in the world's markets of what has been achieved in the lines of harness and saddlery in this country, is one of the great representative institutions of the United States. |
