THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTThe Marble and Granite Works of Mr. Robert C. Fisher are without exception the largest and best equipped in the United States. The business was founded in 1830, over half a century ago, by the firm of Fisher & Bird, which held the most influential position in the marble trade for many years. Mr. Bird died a few years ago, since which time the business has been conducted by Mr. Fisher. He occupies the whole building from No. 97 to 103 East Houston Street, and employs a large number of hands. Every facility is enjoyed at this establishment for carrying on the business. The most improved saws, rubbing beds, lathes, etc., are used for cutting and polishing marble and granite. A specialty is made of artistic chimney pieces, counters, floor tiling, staircases, church altars, tablets, marble and granite monuments. Mr. Fisher makes a specialty of cemetery work, and turns out many beautiful specimens of art in monumental anrl memorial work. The fame of this establishment is not confined to New York City alone, work being executed and sent to all parts of the country. It was awarded the prize medal at the Centennial Exhibition in 1876 for superiority of work and artistic excellence of design. Mr. Fisher is about forty years of ago and is an active and reliable business man. He has achieved success in his line of trade, and well deserves the prosperity which he now enjoys.
