THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTWorthy of special mention within the pages of such a work as we have in view, the Excelsior Quilting Company of New York deserves our consideration. They manufacture quilted linings of all kinds, which they sell largely to all classes of dry goods and clothing trade throughout the United States. The capacity of this great establishment may be in a measure comprehended when we say that seven thousand yards per day of quilted linings are produced. Some of the most valuable machinery of improved and patented makes are here era-ployed, thus facilitating and cheapening labor and lessening the prices of goods correspondingly. Among these the special one is a marvellous machine in which the position of the needle in combination with the "feed" movement is such as to render it a most important invention. This is known as the Tate patent (August 22, 1871), and its exclusive license is held by this company, all infringements being at the risk of those attempting imitation. The members of this concern, all Germans by birth, are Messrs. L. and B. Schultz and John Hargbuckler. They occupy the mammoth factory. Nos. 204 and 206 Greene Street, four lofts, each fifty by one-hundred feet in lineal dimensions, and give employment to upwards of one-hundred skilled operatives who are intimately conversant with this line of manufacture. As a firm they nre enjoying a large and profitable time, and are regarded with universal favor and esteem not only commercially but socially, they being well known citizens of New York.
