Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The House of a Merchant Prince: A Novel of New York It was about four o´clock of a February afternoon. A young girl sat in an open hackney coach amid the most extreme bustle and uproar of New York. She was looking out with interest at the front of one of the great wholesale dry-goods stores situated on that part of Broadway near Canal Street. Some modest traveling trunks were strapped behind the hackney coach. The simple inscription on two zinc tablets attached to iron columns of the front, was "Rodman Harvey & Co." The plate-glass windows presented to the street only the cold shoulders, as it were, of some bolts of the variety of textile fabrics contained within. At this dignified height in trade a petty display is unnecessary. Whoever knew anything of the circumstances knew that Rodman Harvey & Co. was one of the oldest and strongest concerns in the metropolis.
