| TEXT | It is not often the privilege and duty of the business historian to record facts in reference to such an old established concern as that of Mr. Jesse G. Keys, of No. 268 Cherry Street. His business was founded in 1811, or seventy-three years ago. It is by far the oldest cooperage in New York, and has had a continous and prosperous existence up to the present date. The late Mr. David Keys, father of the present proprietor, originally established the house- and carried it on for many years, until succeeded by Mr. John Keys, brother of the present proprietor. Subsequently, they were in business together until 1874, when Mr. Jesse G. Keys, on the retirement of his brother, assumed the sole control of the business. The premises are central in location and conveniently arranged, and comprise a yard fifty by one hundred and twenty feet in area, upon a portion of which is erected a fine three-storied brick building, completely fitted up as a first-class cooperage, and where an average of thirty hands are employed in the manufacture of barrels. Mr. Keys likewise deals extensively in staves, handing the best quality of seasoned oak, etc., and having the best of connections with the trade. He is a native of New York, and a gentleman still -in the early prime of manhood, and who is one of the most public-spirited citizens of the metropolis. Some years ago he was appointed a director of the Mount Morris Bank, and also of the Mount Morris Safe Deposit Company, two conservatively managed institutions whose usefulness cannot be over-estimated. Mr. Keys ably executes the onerous duties thus devolving upon him, and is one of our most popular and responsible business men, and is likewise of eminent social standing. His high personal character is a sufficient guarantee of the substantial and reliable basis upon which his establishment is founded, and the success which he has attained is only the just reward of his integrity, perseverance and energy. |
