| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | The antiquity of this branch of manufacturing industry, viz., the making of bricks, is such that the earliest records relating to the mode of production are lost in obscurity. But little change appears to have been made either in the material used or in the form of the brick, but machinery has now come into operation, as it has in almost every other production, for the quicker and better turning out of the article. This house was originally founded in 1854 by Mr. John Nesbit, who admitted Mr. Murphy into partnership, the firm being known for many years by the style and title of Murphy & Nesbit. Eventually Mr. Murphy retired, when Mr. Nesbit admitted his sons into partnership. This firm continued till May, 1883, when Mr. Nesbit died, and his sons succeeded to the business. His death caused great regret among a large circle of friends in consequence of his many excellent qualities of mind and heart, and left a void in the firm which has been very difficult to fill. The offices are very convenient, situated at First Avenue and 37th Street, and the yards are at the foot of 37th, 79th, and 881 South Street (East River). The plant consists of the latest and best machinery, and every care is taken in the production of the bricks that they may be able in every way to enter into competition, both as to prices and quality, with those of any other contemporary house in the metropolis. The facilities of the concern are unequalled, and the various processes of clay crushing, grinding, moulding, burning, are all systematized and achieved with the greatest economy of time and labor. The premises are admirably selected as to location, freights are very low, and thus every facility is at hand to produce the best quality of bricks at the lowest market prices. The firm deals extensively in all kinds of building materials, and supplies the leading builders and contractors in this city and vicinity. All orders by telephone or telegraph receive immediate attention and are executed wiht the greatest care, according to customers, directions. The individual members of this co-partnership are Messrs. John A. and Wm. H. Nesbit, both natives of New York, who are highly esteemed by the community as practical business men and upright private citizens. Further personal comment is unnecessary, the well known character of the house placing it above criticism and affording as it does an example of an honorable and prosperous mercantile career. |
