| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | Cork is the outer bark of the cork-tree, a species of oak, and is principally obtained from Spain and Portugal. Besides the use of corks for bottles, casks, etc., it is much used on account of its lightness for floats, nets and life-preservers, and on account of its being n. slow conductor of heat and its impermeability to water, inner soles of shoes are often made of it. A prominent house engaged in the importation and manufacture of all kinds of corks and corkwood is that of Messrs. Boera & Co., No. 100 Maiden Lane, near Pearl Street, which was established in 1872 by the present proprietor, and since its inception at that date has- obtained a liberal patronage. The firm has a branch house in Palafrugell, Catalonia, Spain, which is the principal district for cork-trees, and the supplies of this concern are obtained from the forests in that part of the country, the quality of Catalonian cork being unsurpassed for lightness and density. Boera & Co. make a specialty of champagne, brandy, and wine corks, and the stock embraces all kinds and for all purposes, such aa tapered, short and straight. For the convenience of the wholesale trade they are packed in five-gross bags, and the trade of the house extends all over the United States. Mr. Biel Boera is highly esteemed by the community for his executive ability and strict integrity, and his aim has been not only to obtain trade, but to retain it by supplying his customers with the very best articles at reasonable prices. The general reputation of this concern, as well as the liberal manner in which the business is conducted arc matters of the most favorable comment, while in view of the excellent facilities at hand for production it is not too much to predict ihat those forming relations with it will advance and secure their own interests. |
