corner of Atlantic and New Jersey Avenues, East New York.-

Thirty odd years of continuous and prosperous existence marks the record of the 
well-known and reliable house of Schliichtner Bros., wholesale and retail dealers 
in general hardware, mechanics' tools, housefurnishing goods, and kindred articles, 
which is in all respects the largest, loading, and best-equipped establishment 
in this line of mercantile activity hereabouts, 

The house was founded in 1856 by Jos. Schliichtner, who conducted it up to 1888, 
when it passed into the control of his sons and successors, the enterprising and 
prosperous firm whose name stands at the head of this sketch. 

The premises occupied comprise a 50x80 store, with a 25x50 two-story brick building 
used as a shop, and a heavy and exceedingly fine stock is constantly carried on 
hand to meet the requirements of the business, including builders', manufacturers', 
and house hardware, devices, painters' supplies, mechanics' tools, cutlery, and 
a complete assortment of everything comprehended under the general head of 
housefurnishing goods. An attractive display is made, about half a dozen hands 
are employed, and altogether, a flourishing trade is done. 

The individual members of the firm are Messrs. Fred. and Herman Schliichtner, 
natives of this city, both young men of sound judgment and thorough business 
ability, who sustain an enviable reputation. 

This firm make a specialty of furnaces of all kinds, taking contracts for furnace 
work and plumbing of every description.
