| TEXT | It is not often the privilege and duty of the business historian to record facts in reference to such an old established concern as that of Mr. Jesse G. Keys, of No. 268 Cherry Street. His business was founded in 1811, or seventy-three years ago. It is by far the oldest cooperage in New York, and has had a continuous and prosperous existence up to the present date, The late Mr. David Keys, father of the present proprietor, originally established the house and carried it on for many years, until succeeded by Mr. John Keys, brother of the present proprietor. Subsequently, they were in business together until 1874, when Mr. Jesse G. Keys, on the retirement of his brother, assumed the sole control of the business. The premises are central in location and conveniently arranged, and comprise a yard fifty by one hundred and twenty feet in area, upon a portion of which is erected a fine three-storied brick building, completely fitted up as a first-class cooperage, and where an average of thirty hands are employed in the manufacture of barrels. Mr. Keys likewise deals extensively in staves, handling the best quality of seasoned oak, etc., and having the best of connections with the trade. He is a native of New York, and a gentleman still in the early prime of manhood, and is one of the most public-spiritsd citizens of the metropolis. Some years ago he was appointed a director of the Mount Morris Bank, Mount Morris Safe Deposit Company, and also of the Broadway Insurance Company, all conservatively managed institutions whose usefulness cannot be over-estimated. Mr. Keys ably executes the onerous duties thus devolving upon him, and is one of our most popular and responsible business men, and is likewise of eminent social standing. His high personal chai -acter is a sufficient guarantee of the substantial and reliable basis upon which his establishment is founded, and the success which he has attained is only the just reward of his integrity, perseverance and energy. |
