Dealer in Stoves, Heaters, and Ranges
No. 146 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, E. D.-

The manipulation of tin and sheet-iron into almost countless objects of 
daily use is an industry of incalculable value. Brooklyn has many establishments 
in this class of trade, and prominent among these is that of Mr. E. J. Sutphin. 

He was born thirty-one years ago in Ocean county, N. J., and he has had twelve 
years' experience in his branch of trade. Six years ago he started business 
on his own account, and his enterprise has been attended by the most marked 
success. 

He occupies the first floor and basement of the building, which is 20x100 
feet in dimensions. The salesroom is very neatly fitted up, and it is heavily 
stocked with a fine assortment of stoves, heaters, and ranges in all the newest 
designs, and containing all the latest improvements, tinware of every description, 
and stove equipments of all kinds. The workshop is equipped with the best tools 
and appliances, and from six to eight competent workmen are employed in 
manufacturing all kinds of tin and sheet-iron goods, etc. A specialty is made 
of metal roofing and general jobbing, and in this department specimens of the 
work done by the house may be seen at the Jarvis Street Episcopal Church, the 
Leonard Street Christian Church, and at other buildings, public and private, 
in all parts of the city.
