LEADING  MANUFACTURERS  AND  MERCHANTS  CITY  OF  BROOKLYN


F. SIEWERT & Co.

Furniture, Carpets, Oil-Cloths, Pictures, Looking-Glasses, Clocks, etc.
Nos. 496 and 498 Broadway, Brooklyn, E. D.- 

The trade in furniture and house furnishing goods is one of such magnitude in 
Brooklyn as to demand special recognition in a work of this character, and we 
are justified in presenting the house of Messrs. F. Siewert & Co. as one of 
the most enterprising and successful connected with that important interest. 

The business has been in operation since 1875, at which time it was inaugurated 
by Mr. Fred. Siewert the present firm was organized in 1881, on the admission 
of Mr. Julius EMANUEL as a partner. The growth of the establishment has been 
steady and healthful, and under the liberal and careful methods that have 
characterized the administration of its affairs has attained a popularity 
shared by but few concerns of its kind. 

The premises occupied are at Nos. 496 and 493 Broadway, and comprise the first 
floor, 45x110 feet in area, with a spacious basement. The arrangement is 
convenient and attractive, the stock being so disposed as to afford every 
advantage to customers. The firm deal largely in furniture, carpets, oil-cloths, 
pictures, looking- glasses, clocks, etc., all of which are displayed in the 
greatest variety, embracing all grades from the plainest to the most costly. 

All the newest and best designs are shown, it being the rule of the house to 
offer to patrons the latest styles and patterns in every department, and to 
name such prices as bring them within the reach of all. Goods are sold either 
for cash or on the installment plan, and customers are treated in the most liberal 
spirit, every concession being made consistent with sound business policy. 
A large city trade is done, and orders are received from all parts of Long Island. 

Both members of the firm are natives of Germany, aggressive, wide- awake men, who 
thoroughly understand the art of pleasing their patrons, and with whom it is a 
genuine pleasure to come in contact, by reason of their courtesy and fair and 
honorable way of discharging their obligations.
