The furnishing of hotels and steamboats is one of |
| their specialties. The headquarters of their wholesale trade |
| is at the old Broadway and Grand street store, while their |
| stock of carpets and oil-cloths is mainly limited to the |
| Grand and Chrystie street establishment. Since the |
| organization of the firm, five partners have retired with |
| fortunes, to make room for younger men, thus affording |
| opportunities for others to profit by the experience and |
| success of the house. These changes have also had the effect |
| to maintain the original vigor of the firm without detaching |
| from the maturity of judgment that has marked its |
| operations. Some idea of the magnitude of the business of |
| the house may be inferred from the fact that the pay-roll |
| contains the names of more than 1,000 persons. |
