LEADING  MANUFACTURERS  AND  MERCHANTS  CITY  OF  BROOKLYN


J. S. SCHNEIDER

Dealer in Paints, Oils, Brushes, Window-Glass, Dyes, and Dregs
No. 571 Broadway.-

No specific industry has attained equal magnitude in a proportionately short 
time as that devoted to the sale of painters' supplies, window-glass, and 
dyes and drugs for manufacturing purposes. The growing taste for interior d
ecoration has had much to do with this fact, as have also the improvements in 
manufacture. 

One of the oldest and most reliable houses engaged in the paint trade of 
Brooklyn is that of Mr. J. S. Schneider, who founded his enterprise in 1869, 
and has taken a foremost position all along in this branch of trade in the city. 

This gentleman was born in Germany about forty-live years ago, and left his native 
land for the United States thirty-five years back. He has had a very extended 
experience in his branch of trade, is acquainted with its minutest details, and 
knows how to supply his customers with the best class of goods that can be procured, 
and at prices which no competing house can excel. 

His business premises, fronting on Broadway and Varet Street, are very spacious, 
and are equipped with all necessary conveniences and appliances for the successful 
operation of the business. Mr. Schneider conducts a very extensive import trade, 
and carries in stock some of the best foreign as well as domestic manufactured 
goods, which he is at all times prepared to offer to the trade on the most 
advantageous terms. 

The stock embraces a full and complete line of mixed and dry paints of the finest 
quality, white lead, oils of every description, brushes, etc., and everything in 
the nature of painters' supplies; also tube colors and artists' materials of all 
kinds, wall papers in all the newest and most popular patterns and designs, 
window-glass of every quality, and a full assortment of dyes and drugs for 
manufacturing purposes. The business is of both a wholesale and retail character, 
and a very extensive and growing trade is enjoyed by the house, six assistants 
being constantly required to attend to the requirements of customers. 

This is a live, wide awake house, liberal in all its dealings, prompt and honorable 
in the fulfillment of all its engagements, and Mr. Schneider, personally, has the 
highest of standings in the commercial community, esteemed and respected by all 
who know him for his business ability and integrity.
