| TEXT | A prominent house engaged in the manufacture of pants exclusively is that of Messrs. Marks & Sons, No. 364 Canal Street, which was established in 1875 at Third Avenue, but in consequence of a rapidly increasing trade was removed in 1876 to its present eligible location. The premises occupied are very spacious and commodious, and are fully equipped with all the latest appliances known to the trade, employment being given to about one hundred and fifty skilled and experienced operatives. Until about the year 1866 the sale of ready-made garments was very small. The goods were made of poor materials, badly cut, and in style and finish bore no comparison to the productions of the well-conducted establishments of the present day They were intended to supply the demands of a not very critical class of trade, and were made to sell rather than wear To-day all is changed, and the finest productions of the merchant tailor are duplicated by the retail dealer in ready-made clothing. An inspection of the pants in Messrs. Marks & Sons' store shows that they are using the finest productions of American and foreign mills, and that their high-priced articles are made up with equal care and attention to those of mercliant tailors to order. The sales of this house are to the jobbing trade and first-class retailers in nearly all sections of the country, being particularly large with the leading cities of the West and South. The individual members of this firm are Messrs, L, C. and M Marks, gentlemen of great ability and integrity, and who are closely identified with the industrial progress of New York. |
