| TEXT | With the growth of the metropolis in commerce, population and wealth, there has also been a rapid increase in every branch of industry. Among these pursuits that of a first-class shoe-dealer may be justly regarded as of the greatest importance to a community in furnishing those evidences of refinement and taste that are represented in fashionable and well-fitting shoes. A prominent house engaged in this trade is that of Mr. Morris Jacobs, No. 176 Bowery, which, though only founded in 1882, has since obtained a liberal and influential patronage. The premises occupied are very attractively fitted up with every convenience and appliance for the accommodation of the large stock. The assortment constantly on hand comprises a full line of gentlemen's fine shoes in all sizes and styles both for house and street. Mr. Jacobs carries a large line of the make of the best manufacturers, and his stock for elegance and completeness is unsurpassed by that of any contemporary concern in the metropolis. He makes a specialty of supplying young men with latest styles and most fashionably made foot wear, and is patronized by the most stylish gentlemen in this section. Having so many different widths and sizes conforming to the natural shape of the foot, he finds no difficulty in fitting his customers at once unless the foot is very much deformed, when he prefers to supply after careful measurement. Among the firms from whom Mr. Jacobs procures his stock may be mentioned the well known house of J. Reuter & Co., No. 43 Warren Street. Persons living out of the city can have an accurate fit by sending one of their shoes and a simple outline drawing of the foot, which is made by placing it on a piece of paper and drawing a pencil around it. When it is not convenient to send one of the shoes, the size number usually worn will often be sufficient. Personally, Mr. Jacobs is a native of Germany and is greatly respected by the community as an honorable business man and upright private citizen, and justly merits the success already attained by his perseverance, skill and energy. |
