THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTThe progress made by the United States in her manufactures is something which astounds the merchants of the old world. What took centuries almost to build up, the people of the United States have practically achieved in one hundred years. This may be very particularly seen in the manufacture of silk goods. A few years ago all such were imported from the looms of Europe. Now the same industry is a source of great value to our home manufacturers. In no part of the United States do we appreciate more what we have here given expression to than when we look at the city of Paterson, N.J., which has sprung up owing to the development of the silk manufacture there. Within the past ten years it increased about twenty thousand in population, and we believe what we have seen in Paterson is but an index of what shall yet be accomplished in this country in silk manufacture. Among the prominent and largest silk manufacturers of Paterson are Messrs. William Strange & Co. The sole agents for this concern are Strange & Brother, of Nos. 96 and 93 Prince Street this city. Here may be found a full and complete stock of everything in this line of manufacture. The firm of Strange & Brother are also heavy importers of ribbons, silks and white goods, for which they find a ready outlet among the large jobbing trade all over the country. The following are some of the principal manufactures of this house, viz.: dress silks, colored gros grain silks, black gros grain silks, black and colored brocades, "nonpareil" surahs, serge silks, etc., black and colored rha-dames, fancy and millinery silks of all descriptions; ribbons, black and colored satin and gros grain, eagle "S" brand, pattern "75" gros faille colored and black, pattern "85" gros faille black, pattern "564" cashmere faille factory brand, gold seal black, imperial faille and other brands, sashes and fancy ribbon of every description, which are offered at prices that will compare favorably with any importing house in this country. In the European market Strange & Brother are well known as very extensive and careful buyers, hence their success. The members of this firm are Messrs. A. B. and T. A. Strange, gentlemen whose records are unimpeachable, and who are held in the greatest respect and esteem by all who know them.
