| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | A careful examination of the commercial development of New York reveals the fact that many enterprises are carried on which demand Hpeclal mention in a historical work of this permanent character, and will arouse the interest of the reader by the prominence which they have achieved. A representative house of its kind among importers is that of Messrs. Rothschild Brothers & Co., of Nos. 424 and 426 Broadway. The house is old established, having been founded no less than thirty-five years ago by Mr. A. S. Amsen. The firm as at present constituted was formed in 1876, and has shown creditable enterprise and energy in the prosecution of the immense business which it transacts. The concern has been permanently located in their present unusually eligible and central premises for upwards of twenty years past, and occupy the fine double-front five-story building Nos. 424 and 426 Broadway, fifty feet by one hundred in dimensions. It is one of the finest fitted up and best arranged wholesale business establishments in the United States, and reflects much credit upon the copartners. They are the leading importers of buttons, and their salesrooms present the finest display of all classes of staple and ornamental styles of pearl, metal, and fancy buttons that is offered to the American trade. Limits of space prevent our giving a description in detail of this representative and absolutely complete stock. It is, however, unrivalled, and is so recognized by the mercantile community. Buyers can here readily suit the most exacting tastes, and can always depend on finding the very latest novelties of the European markets. Messrs. Rothschild Brothers & Co. are directly represented in the manufacturing centres of the old world, and spare no pains or expense to meet every requirement of their numerous customers. They are all gentlemen of vast practical experience in this important branch of trade. Their judgment is reliable and their methods honorable, and they well deserve the large measure of permanent success which has attended their exertions. Some idea of the magnitude of the business conducted by them can be gathered when we state that they require the services of from fifteen to twenty men on the road, and handle the largest importations of buttons in the market, counting among their customers our leading dry goods merchants and manufacturers of cloaks, suits, etc. This house is also the sole agent in America for Jacquot & Co.'s French blacking, universally recognized as the most brilliant polish for leather in existence. It is beneficial in preserving boots and shoes, rendering them soft and pliable, and has me* with general approbation, being found on sale all over the country. The firm has pushed its introduction and now annually handle enormous consignments. The activity and enterprise of this great firm need not be recounted here since its merits are fully recognized in the community, and New York may well be congratulated on the possession of such energetic business men as the members of this house are so well known to be. |
