THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTThe locality in which this enterprising house is to be found, is one of a number of streets in the metropolis which of late years have undergone marvellous transformation. Mercer Street is now the mart of some of the most important commercial interests in New York. The firm of which the present is a brief sketch started into business in 1868. They have been singularly successful, and have during this time built up a large and satisfactory trade. They are importers of straw goods, consisting not only of braids but of hata in the rough. The principal points from which these goods come are Italy, Switzerland, England and China. The members of this firm, who are Swiss by birth. have the most excellent connections abroad, and it is owing to this fact that they are able to bring goods into this market at exceptionally low prices. They occupy four floors of the large building Nos. 165 and 167 Mercer Street, fifty by one hundred feet each in lineal dimensions, which space, although large, is taxed to its utmost capacity in the storing of their extensive stock. These goods they sell mcs'ly to the large manufacturing trade all throughout the States. As a firm they rank very high in commercial circles and are held in much respect and esteem by all who know them.
