LEADING  MANUFACTURERS  AND  MERCHANTS  CITY  OF  BROOKLYN


William H. SHIPMAN

Hay. Grain, Flour, and Feed
Nos. 123 and 125 Myrtle Avenue.-

In the city of Brooklyn we find a number of influential houses engaged 
in the flour, grain, and hay trade. Among them we are glad to mention 
that of Mr. William H. Shipman. 

This is the oldest house in this line in the city, having been founded in 
1848, and has always enjoyed a large and active trade. 

The quarters occupied by Mr. Shipman comprise a large four-story brick 
building, 30x30 feet in dimensions, in which are stored all the various 
commodities, such as hay, grain, flour, and feed. The connections of the 
house with manufacturers, shippers, and producers are of the most 
intimate nature, and its facilities for obtaining the best goods of 
all kinds are unsurpassed in this market, enabling the proprietor to 
fill all orders with promptness, and accommodate purchasers to the full 
extent of their wants, and bottom prices are guaranteed when favored with 
an order, large or small. 

Mr. Shipman is a native of Brooklyn, and is a member of the New York 
Produce Exchange.
