| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | Probably no industry in the city of New York is of greater importance by reason of the vast capital invested and the number of hands employed than the grocery trade. In this city are some of the finest stores in this line in the world and a large number of our most prominent citizens are engaged in it. A very well known and popular firm is that of William Robinson & Co., which was established in 1869, and has won an important position in the trade as a dealer in the finest and most select groceries of all kinds. The store is a large, handsome one twenty by one hundred feet in size, with a double front, and fitted up in tlie finest and most tasteful manner for the convenience of trade and the reception of customers. The stock is all new and fresh and is carefully selected to meet the demands of a first-class patronage, which they enjoy in a superlative degree, and has been bought from the leading importers and manufacturers in large quantities upon advantageous terms and is offered at prices that no one can object to. Every article in both staple and fancy groceries will be found here, as well as foreign and domestic wines and cigars of the best brands and finest qualities. Flour from the best mills, fine creamery butter from the best dairies, sugar which is the product of our most flourishing refiners, choice first crop teas from China and Japan, and fragrant coffees from Mocha, Java and South America foreign and domestic fruits and cheeses, and all kinds of rare delicacies for the table and all other goods necessary for the business will be found here at all times. One of the features of the house is the neat and attractive manner in which the fine stock of goods is displayed, and it is without exception one of the most trustworthy and desirable business houses in Harlem, upon which the citizens are to be congratulated for having within their limits. The members of the firm are Messrs. William Robinson and W. J. Leonard, both of whom have made New York their home for a considerable length of time, where they are well known and highly esteemed us enterprising business men, liberal in all their dealings and well deserving the position they have attained. Mr. Robinson was the original founder of the house, Mr. Leonard coming into the firm later. They are among our most popular and public-spirited citizens, and few are held in higher esteem in the community than they. |
