| TEXT | For the past eighteen years the career of the great fur house, at the head of which appears the name of C. C. Shayne, has been so marked as to entitle it to special notice within the pages of the present review of the industries of New York. We do not know of any house in the fur trade which is held in more popular favor than that of which the present is a brief sketch. We do not know that we can do better than repeat and emphasize the expression of opinion of the New York Graphic concerning (his eminent house: "A visit to Mr. Shayne's establishment will repay the trouble. Situated as it is in the heart of New York's busiest section he has the advantage of a central location, and at a rent about one quarter what similar accommodations would bring on Broadway. Entering the salesroom the visitor tads on either hand large glass showcases, arranged in which are displayed some of the elegant goods for which this firm has secured so deserved a reputation. On the one hand are bales of the finest Alaska seal, Hudson Bay otter, Lake Superior beaver and other valuable pelts, the dressing and deodorizing of which is a specialty, and the leather of which is rendered as soft as chamois. The sealskins are procured direct from London importers, and only one quality, and that the finest procurable, are in demand for Mr. Shayne's trade. These are prepared most carefully, cut up into garments and put together liy skilled hands. Mr. Shayne informed The Graphic reporter that no garment goes out of his establishment that is not warranted in every particular, both as to quality and make, and every one sold is a card for the establishment. While the reporter was present a sealskin sacque was received from a lady living on Lexington Avenue for repairs, and the garment, though purchased from Mr Shayne eight years ago and worn ever since, retained its beautiful lustre, and seemed nothing the worse for the wear. It was to be made over to suit the prevailing style. In the salesroom all varieties of furs and styles are on exhibition - seal and otter dolmans, paletots, ulsters, circulars and newmarkets. Here are to be found seal sacques ranging in price from one hundred and fifty dollars to two hundred and fifty dollars, according to length and size; newmarkets and paletots from two hundred and fifty dollars to three hundred and fifty dollars; dolmans from two hundred and fifty dollars to five hundred dollars, and even at higher figures, which are regulated by the costliness of the trimming. A newmarket or dolman trimmed with the costly and rare fur of the sea otter in its natural color might cost as much as one thousand dollars, but this style of trimming is only used by the exclusive few. At the rear of the salesroom on the first floor is the department devoted to fur-lined silk circulars and dolmans, which are here shown in endless variety and finish-dolmans of all styles trimmed and un-trimmed, Russian circulars, and others with the warm Siberian squirrel skin, others with the rich ermine, and the most fastidious taste is sure to be suited. If not, then Mr. Shayne is prepared to make, to execute any order that the fancy of the customer may dictate. The basement is devoted to the manufacturing department. Here the various skins are prepared, cut up, blocked and put through all the various operations from which they emerge finished garments. Besides these goods, on which Mr. Shayne stakes his reputation, there is an infinite variety of furs for other purposes. There are muffs of various kinds and patterns, carriage robes in all the skins suitable for such uses, gentlemen's caps and gloves, eta, and all from skins that are specially selected for this house." We need hardly add to this glowing, yet truthful and moderate eulogy upon this prominent house. Their reputation for honorable dealing is beyond the shade of a shadow of a doubt. It does not matter whether the buyer is an export judge of these goods or not, they will receive full value for their money. Mr. C. C Shayne is a native New Yorker, and possesses all the courteous bearing and frankness characteristic of tlie better classes of our merchants. The trade will find this house an admirable one with which to establish business connections. The offices and salesrooms are located at No. 103 Prince Street, where a large and well assorted stock of sealskin and otter sacques and dolmans are open lor inspection all the time, at prices which are as low as those of any concern in New York. |
