THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTM. Hicks and T. Smith constitute the firm doing business under the firm name of Hicks & Smith, at No. 42 South Fifth Avenue. This eminent concern has a history which dates back as far as eighteen years ago, and is one which, in itself, is replete with many interesting facts. They are a representative firm engaged in the manufacture of one special branch, namely, railroad lamps. These they manufacture in an endless variety of styles, suitable for every conceivable required purpose. The demand for such goods, with the increased and increasing developments in our railroad system, has brought forward this concern to occupy a position of considerable eminence in the New York market. In their extensive factory, at No. 42 South Fifth Avenue, which occupies five floors, twenty-five by seventy-five feet in lineal dimensions, they give employment to some seventy-five hands, who are expert workmen in these goods. They do a very large United States trade, as well as considerable export trade, to every quarter of the world. The goods of their manufacture are used by the following well-known companies: The Pullman Palace Car Company, The Wagner Drawing-Room Car Company, The Metropolitan Elevated Railroad, The Pennsylvania, The Northern Central, The Union Pacific, and many others. The use of the lamps manufactured by Hicks & Smith by such companies as these speaks volumes for their goods. Their patent hurricane railroad lamps are a special feature and should come into universal and exclusive use. As a manufacturing firm they stand very high in this community, and well merit the large amount of success which has attended their well-directed efforts.
