| TEXT | An important branch of commercial activity and one deserving of special mention in a review of the leading business interests of New York, is the manufacture and importation of linens and handkerchiefs. A prominent house engaged in this trade is that of Messrs. Duke & Lockwood, No. 385 Broadway, which was originally established in Troy, N.Y.. in 1858. with factories at Lurgan and warehouses at Belfast, Ireland. The trade of this house has been of steady growth and has increased every year from its inception, till now it is one of the leading and most important concerns of its kind in the United States. The system which prevails in this establishment Indicates the most careful supervision, while the judgment, care and taste displayed in the manufacture and importation of linens of every description and handkerchiefs, proclaim the management to be thoroughly experienced and acquainted with the wants of a critical trade. All goods are manufactured at their own factories at Lurgan, Ireland, or are purchased direct from the leading manufacturers in Europe, and the newest and latest novelties are obtained immediately they are ready for the trade, while with regard to prices the long-established reputation of this famous wholesale house is well known as the cheapest in the city at which to obtain these classes of articles. The factories of the firm at Belfast, Ireland, are very complete and provide employment for a very large number of hands. The goods made here have obtained great celebrity in America for their quality, finish and general excellence, and are equal if not superior to those of any similar contemporary concern either at home or abroad. The individual members of this popular importing house are Messrs. J. H. Duke and H. N. Lockwood, the former a native of Ireland and the latter of Connecticut. Both gentlemen are held in the highest estimation in social and commercial circles lor their geniality of disposition, and strict integrity, and have always been ardent supporters and advocates of any measure which has been advanced for the benefit and welfare of their fellow citizens. Mr. Duke, the senior partner, is most philanthropic and many of our public institutions owe much to his generosity and kindness. He is likewise a staunch protectionist and a supporter of high tariff rates for the purpose of protecting our native industries, and a determined opponent of free trade principles. We can conscientiously commend this house to our readers and the trade, being assured that they can obtain advantages and benefits here difficult to be secured elsewhere. |
