THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTThe wholesale wine and liquor trade is an important adjunct to our city's commerce. Prominent among the leading houses engaged in this branch of trade and without a mention of whom a review of the great mercantile aud manufacturing interests of the metropolis would be incomplete, is that of Mr. Theodore Lane, who occupies the spacious premises No. 255 West 15th Street. This basiness was established in 1835 by Mr. Charles White who was succeeded by the present proprietor about eight years ago. His rectifying establishment is equipped with all the most approved appliances. He carries a large stock of choice wines, brandies, gins, etc., and supplies an extensive local trade. A very important part of Mr. Lane's business is the bottling of mineral waters, and in this connection his name is widely and prominently known throughout a wide area. Entering into this special department some years ago this gentleman felt convinced that there was a wide opening for these productions, much greater than heretofore, if they were bottled upon an improved principle, that not only added very materially to the tone and quality of the waters, but made their use pleasant and permanent. This fact was fully demonstrated by the increased trade that he rapidly secured, necessitating to promptly fill the orders of the present time very extensive facilities. This he now possesses in an extensive building, three large floors of which are occupied for this special branch and which are models of a perfect plant of this character. The best and newest machinery has been provided, and every convenience known and that his thorough knowledge of the requirements could suggest are here to be found. The manufacture of an improved and staple quality of mineral waters, ginger ales, etc., have reached a greater degree of perfection under Mr. Lane's intelligent direction than was heretofore thought possible. Everything used is of the purest, specially prepared for his productions, and with the single purpose in view of securing the best and most satisfactory results. He manufactures all his own Byrups direct from the fruit, and selects none but the choicest that reach our market for this purpose. His extract of ginger, which is manufactured from the root on the premises, has secured a very wide sale and a deservedly popular reputation, many claiming for it a position beyond any similar preparation in the market. That it is pure and of careful manufacture none can deny that have ever witnessed its manipulation in Mr. Lane's factory, while the very extensive demand for it attests fully the curative and soothing merits. Throughout this model establishment, for such it can undoubtedly be termed, a large force of employees are engaged, nearly all of whom follow specially designed branches of labor, and for which they are particularly qualified. He makes a specialty of diamond ginger ale. sarsaparilla, and lemon soda, which are equal, if not superior, to the best imported, and have met with universal favor wherever introduced. Mr. Lane is an energetic business man. During his lengthy commercial career he has won a measure of popularity second to none in the trade. He enjoys an excellent reputation as a liberal, far-sighted business man, and an honorable, public-spirited citizen.
