THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTAttention is particularly directed to the well known house of Mr. A. O. Newman, No. 1180 Broadway, which was founded in 1844, and since its inception has always commanded a liberal patronage, owing to the excellence of its decorated bronze hardware. The store and factory have been occupied by Mr. Newman for the last thirty years, and though the establishment has gone through the ordeals of three fires and trying periods of depression, yet it has safely and honorably passed as "fine gold refined by the burning," and to-day it rates as the most important decorative bronze hardware establishment in the United States. About forty years ago Mr. A. G. Newman established this business, and in 1850 he admitted Messrs. Onderdonk and Capron into partnership, the firm being known by the style of Newman, Oderdonk & Capron. Eventually, both Messrs. Oderdonk and Capron retired, leaving Mr. A. G. Newman sole proprietor. Mr. Newmam still retains the services of his former partners, and is likewise assisted in the conduct of his business by his four sons, and it is the earnest desire of the proprietor to merit by the strictest principles of mercantile honor, a continuance of the support which he has already obtained. The factory, located at Nos. 157 to 163 West 29th Street, is a very spacious and commodious building, fully equipped with all the latest improved machinery and appliances, employment being given to three hundred skilled operatives. Mr. Newman turns out a great quantity of articles, such as railings for banks and insurance offices, etc., and also every description of fine interior fixtures, and supplied all the decorated bronze and brass work for the Vander-biit mansion, the Mills, Washington, Manhattan Bank and Villard Buildings, and many others as large. The principal architects and furniture manufacturers in this country are his customers, and his trade extends throughout the United States. The following are some of the principal goods manufactured at the factory: viz., Buck-man's patent torsion spring butts, Harfield's patent sliding door sheaves, Newman's patent elevator door fixtures, Newman's patent hotel annunciators, Newman's patent burglar and fire-alarms, Newman's patent apartment indicators, Bates' patent ventilator and sash-lift, bronze and brass ornamental railings, etc., antique furniture trimmings, statue fitting in bronze and brass. Mr. Newman is a type of the self-made man, who rises by his own exertions from a modest beginning to a foremost place in the manufacturing and commercial world. He is a native of New York, and many of our leading institutions for the relief of suffering humanity owe him a great debt of gratitude for his generosity and philanthropy. Mr. New-man is highly esteemed by all classes of citizens for his inflexible honor, and the history of his house is a pleasant proof of the certainty with which probity and energy will win their way, and that honesty in representation and action is always the best policy.
