| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | In this hurrying, changeable country it is a rarity to meet with a business house that has continued its life during the existence of one generation, and such a rarity is made especially gratifying by the contrast of constant transformation or decay. As one of the few instances of a long-lived and still vigorous business, we have the drug house mentioned at the head of this article. The senior member of the firm founded the business fifty years ago, and conducted it alone until 1864, when his son, A. W. Weismann, was admitted as a partner. The house now does both a wholesale and retail business, occupying a storeroom twenty by sixty feet, together with the basement and cellar. The premises are neatly fitted up, and provided with the requisites for various pharmaceutical operations. A large stock is carried, so that the wants of customers may be promptly supplied. Mr. A. Weismann, the founder of the house, is a German, but left home in his youth. He celebrated the seventy-fifth anniversary of his birth during the present year. His business has not wholly absorbed his attention, he having at one time been prominent in politics. For six years he was a supervisor of the city and county of New York, and in 1872-73 was a member of the State Senate. Mr. A. W. Weismann, the junior partner in the firm, upon whom the active duties of the business now largely devolve, is forty-one years old, and has been for over twenty years engaged in his present pursuit. He is assisted in his labors by three clerks. The elder Weismann being a German, of course provided for the wants of the German trade, and this feature of the business is still preserved. |
