| TEXT | The natural and acquired advantages which have contributed to make the city of New York a commercial centre of such an important character have also induced here the establishment of enterprises which for magnitude and charac ter have become celebrated throughout the country. Such a one is that of Messrs. Sutro & Newmark, who established this house in 1864, and since that date have obtained an influential and liberal patronage from the whole community, in consequence of the unsurpassed excellence of their cigars. For the purpose of carrying on the manufacture premises are utilized, consisting of one immense factory of seven stories, fifty by one hundred and twenty-five feet in area, with eight six-storied houses adjoining, forming a. magnificent pile of buildings, unequalled by any similar establishment in this country. The factories are equipped with all the latest modern machinery and appliances, fitted with Otis elevators, and operated by a splendid steam-engine of sixty horse-power, employment being provided for one thousand skilled operatives. It is impossible in a short article to do justice to this mammoth establishment, but we may say that the cigars bearing the Sphinx trade-mark are remarkable for their purity, fragrance, and flavor, and without a rival in this city. There is scarcely any business carried on at the present day in which experience is so essential a requisite for success, and in this particular the firm possesses every advantage in its favor. The growth and prosperity of this house are only commensurate with the energy of its projectors, who are sedulously employed in maintaining the character of their cigars, and by so doing meeting the most exacting demands of the trade. The individual members of this flourishing concern are Messrs. E. S. Sutro and B. New-mark, gentlemen of the greatest ability, and thoroughly conversant with every detail of the trade. They are held in the highest estimation in social and commercial circles for their strict integrity and unswerving honor, and purchasers can implicitly rely on all representations made by the members of this firm. Liberality and promptness have always characterized this establishment, and the success which has already attended it is but the just reward of a commercial policy, without which no permanent prosperity is possible. |
