THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTWhen Messrs. Kerr Brothers opened their establishment at No. 738 Second Avenue, between 39th and 40th Streets, it was with the full knowledge of the gigantic competition they were entering into in a trade that is astonishing in its magnitude, but they undertook it with the full confidence that they could buy and sell as fine an article as any establishment that they had to compete with. The firm have succeeded in building up a large trade by honorable dealing and keeping the best goods in the market, selling them as low as honest dealing would permit. In this they have been highly successful, for they buy their goods from the leading importers, and possessing enough of capital to buy goods at the lowest fluctuation of the market and hold them till called upon, they can sell goods at as low prices as any one in the same line here in the city. Nothing but the purest and choicest article in teas and coffees finds its way to their establishment, and sugars are also warranted to be the genuine article which they sell at refiners' prices. They have a fine large store, twenty-five by thirty fee.t in size, and fitted up with every convenience for the facilitation of business, one of its marked features being its neatness and active appearance. They have been established in their present location since 1880. They have also another store at No. 505 Second Avenue, which is managed on the same principle as this main store, the same class of goods being kept, and which has a high reputation, having been established for several years. Competent assistants are employed who carry out the minutest details of business, the Messrs. Kerr attending personally to all the management and looking after the interests of their customers with a jealous care. They are highly popular with their customers and the trade in general, and are spoken of as energetic, thorough business men, who are regarded in mercantile and social circles as men of strict rectitude and integrity.
