| TEXT | There are a number of first-class business establishments in Harlem; the most prominent and important, however, is that of Mr. Richard Webber, No. 208 East 120th Street. The premises occupied are very complete and commodious, and comprise a splendid range of buildings, seventy-five by one hundred feet in area, admirably equipped and furnished with all the latest modern improvements in cold storage, operated by a powerful steam engine, and provided with an Otis elevator. The establishment is divided into two parts, the beef department being under the immediate supervision of Mr. Webber, while the pork branch is under the management of Mr. Christie. This is the largest retail butcher's store in the metropolis. Over one hundred hands are employed, and the number of cattle, sheep and pigs consumed annually surpasses any other establishment either in this country or Europe. Only the best class of stock is handled and greatest care and attention are paid to the selection of the animals while being prepared for the market. Mr. Webber possesses ample facilities for obtaining the choicest stock, and likewise for conducting his wholesale and retail business under the most favorable auspices, and is always prepared to deal liberally with his customers and to give them every possible advantage. All orders are promptly filled, and it is the endeavor of the concern to merit by the strictest principles of commercial probity and fair dealing a continuance of the support it has already enjoyed. Mr. Webber is represented on the Produce Exchange, with which he has been identified in many large and important transactions. In the store, which is a model of neatness, cleanliness and system, about sixty-five salesmen and clerks are employed, and Lampson's Patent Cash Balls are used in the transaction of the business. This immense meat market is absolutely without a rival, and under the management of the proprietor, Mr. Webber, and his associate, Mr. Christie, is the most flourishing and enterprising house in the trade, the amount of business done being enormous. Mr. Webber is held in the highest estimation in social and mercantile circles for his many sterling qualities and strict integrity, and has always identified himself with any measure conducive to the general welfare of the community. The equitable manner in which the business is conducted, as well as the excellent quality of the stock, are guarantees sufficiently obvious why dealers and consumers will do well to place their orders with this house. |
