Notes: Text transcribed from page xi: January, 1909. To Our Patrons: In submitting this, the 33rd edition of our catalogue, we bespeak for it the tame kind reception which has been accorded the preceding editions. This new catalogue continues the record of the history of our House, and of its progress, not only in the development of its organization and its facilities, but also in the improvement of those of our products which permitted of it. New goods have been added, either to increase the selection or to replace those which had become obsolete. As our former headquarters at the Parent House, 127 Fulton St., New York, could no longer be made to afford sufficient room for our requirements, we have transferred to our Hoboken establishment the Executive and General Offices, Wholesale Ware Rooms, Shipping Department, Purchasing Department, etc., and the Export Department, which latter has also a representative at our New York house. The illustrations distributed through the catalogue show our new General Office and Factory buildings at Hoboken, N. J., which we have occupied since July 19, 1907, and which almost double our previous facilities for handling, business. Our New York establishment now includes the Retail, City Order and Blueprint Departments, which occupy the entire building, thus enabling us to display our goods in the most advantageous manner, and most convenient to our patrons. To our Branches at Chicago, St. Louis, and San Francisco at which latter City we now occupy our new building Nos. 48-59 Second Street, we have added another at Montreal, Canada, 232 Notre Dame Street, West. We hope that our friends in Canada will appreciate our efforts to provide them with better facilities for obtaining our goods without substitution or the delay caused by Custom-House formalities All our Branches are equipped with a modern plant for preparing Blueprint and Blackprint papers, so that the stock obtained from them is always fresh and orders can be filled immediately. Conscious of the standing which more than 40 years of progress and success have given our House, we shall make it our foremost duty to maintain our reputation for the absolute reliability of our goods as well as for strictest fairness and. broad good will in our dealings with those who favor us with their patronage. Very respectfully, KEUFFEL & ESSER CO. Besides this General Catalogue, we publish separately CATALOGUE OF NAUTICAL INSTRUMENTS, TRADE PRICE LIST, SUPPLEMENTAL TO THE GENERAL CATALOGUE, (Instruments for schools, trade grades of drawing tools, etc.,) TRADE PRICE LIST OF MEASURING TAPES (for the hardware trade.)
