LEADING  MANUFACTURERS  AND  MERCHANTS  CITY  OF  BROOKLYN


Niels S. & Paul S. SCOTT

Manufacturers of Show-Cases, Factory and Warerooms
Nos. 6 and 8 DeKalb Avenue.-

As it need scarcely be stated, the show-case is not only a useful and 
attractive feature in mercantile life, but has become a virtually 
indispensable factor, arid it is in the nature of things, therefore, 
that a degree of comparative perfection should have been attained in 
this interesting department of industrial activity in this country of 
late years. 

An enterprising and noteworthy firm engaged in this line here is that of 
Messrs. N. &. P. Scott, manufacturers of show-cases, factory and warerooms, 
located at Nos. 6 and 8 DeKalb avenue, with sales- room at No. 434 Canal 
Street, New York, whose products are in steady and extensive demand 
throughout the entire country, owing to the uniformly high standard of 
excellence they have always maintained, this being in all respects one 
of the leading, largest, and best-equipped concerns devoted to this branch 
of trade in the city. This flourishing enterprise was started in 1877, and 
from its inception has been a positive and permanent success, the trade 
growing steadily and rapidly year by year, until now it is exceeding large, 
being, in fact, fully commensurate with the capacity of the establishment 
and the superiority of the articles produced. 

The factory, which is connected by telephone (Brooklyn 849), is spacious 
and commodious, including three floors, each 50x80 feet in superficial 
dimensions, and every appliance and facility is at hand for the prosecution 
of the industry, employment being afforded to upward of thirty-five expert 
hands. A heavy and No. 1 stock is carried constantly on hand to meet the 
requirements of the extensive and extending demand, and the trade reaches 
every part of the United States and Canada, besides a very substantial export 
business to Norway and Sweden, the West India Islands, and South America. 

The copartnership consists of Messrs. Niels S. Scott and Paul S. Scott, 
natives of Denmark, and residents of the United States twenty and fifteen years 
respectively. They are both thorough masters of their art, men of foresight 
and tireless energy, and are, in short, largely endowed with the progressive 
elements that characterize their race in all the walks of life the world over. 

The New York office and wareroom was established one year ago, and is already 
in the receipt of orders from the better class of New York merchants, by whom 
the high character of their workmanship is highly appreciated. They carry full 
lines of all grades of show-cases, and pay particular attention to foreign orders, 
carefully packing and delivering at all points in good condition. 
Their warerooms consist of two floors 25x70 feet each.
