| TEXT | Enterprise, coupled with the ever necessary practical knowledge of a business, are the two principal requisites to a rapid growth and permanent success, and it is an agreeable task to chronicle the history and facilities of an establishment like that of Messrs. Crouch & Fitzgerald, which from a modest beginning, under the able guidance of its founder and present proprietors, has attained to its itresent. important dimensions. This house was founded originally in 1839, at the corner of Mott and Chatham Streets, and from its inception has always commanded a liberal and influential patronage, owing to the unsur passed character and quality of its trunks, valises and travelling bags. The great demand for the articles manufactured by this firm required them to extend their facilities, and they now occupy premises 50x100 feet in dimensions and seven stories in height at Nos. 352 to 354 West 41st Street. These are very spacious and commodious, and are provided with the most improved machinery and appliances, a considerable portion being of the proprietors' own designs and particularly adapted to the manufacture of their general line of specialties. Throughout the works the greatest order and system prevail, which is at once an evidence of the ability and judicious management of the firm, while the judgment and taste displayed in the manufacture of the stock indicate that the proprietors are thoroughly experienced in the business, and acquainted with the wants of a critical trade. In consequence of their rapidly increasing trade Messrs. Crouch & Fitzgerald have opened the following establishments for the sale of their travelling bags, trunks and articles for travellers use, viz., at No. 1 Cortlandt Street, corner Broadway; No. 556 Broadway, below Prince Street; No. 723 Sixth Avenue, below 42d Street. These stores are very commodious and spacious, and fully equipped with every facility and appliance for the accommodation and display of the valuable stock and the convenience of patrons. The facilities of the house are such that Messrs. Crouch & Fitzgerald are enabled to fill all orders promptly and at prices as low as any of their competitors, while the reputation enjoyed for the superiority of their goods is unexcelled by that of any other concern in the trade, The members of this enterprising firm are well known as taking an active interest in the trunk manufacturing industry of the metropolis, and have done their share in bringing it to its present state of perfection. They are experienced manufacturers, liberal and honorable in all their business transactions, and are fully deserving of the high esteem and consideration in which they are held by the community. This house has established a reputation which entitles it to the greatest respect, and buyers will find by experiment that they can secure benefits and advantages here difficult to be duplicated elsewhere in the city. |
