From the finest fabric of silk to the coarse iron casting ; from the small pearl ^ Imttoa to the inmieuse steam engine — all of which conclusively proves Newark to l)e (as she is often eallclj the " Jiirniingham of America." Before proceeding to illusliate the '•Successful Business Men ' we would call the attention of the reader to a brief description of the city of Newark, which we have carefully compiled from reliable ■ources. Newark was i)ur(hasrd from the Indians on the 1 1th of July, 16<;7, for an eciuivalent of f 750.00. The area of the city is about 11,200 acres. The name was given l)y the Rev. Abraham Pierson, and was de- rived from Newark, Nottingham, England. Tlie city is divided into 15 ward?, and has 2»J miles of sewers, 75 miles of water n)ain, and 88 miles of gas main : a Board of Trade, consisting of 137 members; 1.". Banks and I« Insurance Companies; lieal and Personal Estate assessed in 1871 »t $8,'i,H8G,24l. In 1801 the aggregate product of the city was only $1,210,471 ; to day the manufacturing business of Newark is more than $1)0,000,000 a year. The number of manufacturing establishments are I,0."')0, and the capital invested $34,407,070 ; the number of hands employed, 29,147 ; the amount of wages paid, $I4,7(i7,257, and the value of the products over $ltO,000,000. as above stated. This is by far a better showing in manufactures than New York City could rnakc, and proves Newark's claim that she is not onl,v the leading city in the State, but in the Union, to be a just one. The leading articles of manufacture are: Boots and shoeH, $3,000,000; beer, $4,000,000; enameled cloth, $1,500,000; clothing, $3,000,000; hats, $2,500,000 ; hardware, $2,000,000; iron, principally for domestic trade, $2,000,000; jewelr}', a specialty of Newark, $5,- 000,000; leather, $5,000,000 ; refining and smelling, $2,500,000; saddlery and harness, $1,000,000; tobacco, $1,500,000; trunks and valises, $3, - 000,000, and varnish $1,500,000. Steam engines and machinery of all kinds are also extensively manufactured here, but like many other branches of manufacture we have no figures as to the amount, but the sum must be necessarily large. The great secret of the growth and the pr()si)erity of Newark is the low value, of her building sites compared with those of New York, and her railroad communications with that city. There are five separate and distinct means of railroad communication between Newark and New York, and ninety -seven trains depart for and eighty-four arrive from New York City daily, exclusive of a large number of freight trains. The dis- tance between these two great marts of the United States is only nino miles, occupying thirty minutes, and the fare only 15 cents. In addi- tion Newark has the water facilities of the Passaic river and Morris canal, also that priceless boon, an honest city government and model fire and police departments; hence her ta.xes are consequently low. Her streets are the finest in the country, and Broad street the hand- somest avenue in the world. The population of Newark is now about 130,000. It is entirely unnecessary to add that tlic making of Newark what she is to day is due to its eminent business men. who by close ap- plication to and personal supervision of tluMrown affairs, combined with integrity and honesty (not as a jiolicy. but a jirinciple), has been the basis upon which the firms hen; represented have built up their immense trade. The world regards success as a test of merit. Tiie lives of successfiil men are invested with all the interest of romance. The man whom the world trod upon yesterday, regardless of his merit, succeeds to-day, and to-morrow, in his turn, tramples on the world, which tamely Hubmits to his imperious dictation. He is the same man still, only tliat he wears the jeweled crown and w iclds tlie potent sceptre of success. Ildvv tf) will liiis regal coronet and .seeptn; ih llie great themo that engages all minds. The good strive for it that they may extend tlieir influence in the cause of Truth and Morality; the bad, that they may revelin their own lusts. There exists no "Philosopher's Stone," but the secret is found in a careful study of the lives of our " Sijockssfui. HiisiNRss Men," and nowhere bett(!r illustrated than among the eminently Buocessful business hous(!S of the beautiful city of Newark. Every house we illu.strate in this work wijl be readily recog- nized as the representative of its particular class, and many of them are wearing the crown and wi(;lding the golden sceptre of success, with which their own efforts have invested them, with a commendable meek- ness, for the good of themselves, their fellows, and the great cause of human progress; and although some here represented have not yet grasjjed the golden sceptre, yet they are far up the rough and rugged roud of fortune, where tnivclcrH nre few.

This establishment is situated on Sussex Avenue, Newark, N. J., having a frontage of three hundred and twenty-five feet, and covering about tliree acres of ground. Tliere are fourteen buildings, two engines, five large boilers, fire fteam puuijis, two enamelling, two calendering, and one sizing machine. The founder of the house, Andrew Atha, commenced business on this spot in the year 1851 in a small way, but year by year enlargement has taken place until at the present time it is one of the largest of the kind in the world, giving constant employment to over one hundred hands, and jireparing for the market daily about fifty thousand yards of finished goods. The articles made at these works have achieved a world-wide reputa- tion, and previous to our civil war were shipped to foreign ports. At the present time most of them are consumed in the United States and Canada. The present firm was formed in 1S70. Their salesroom is at 66 Reade street.

Esq., the inventor of " Tompkins' Patent Gig Trees," ami '$" altliough at first tlie beginning was small, it lias now becouu^ one of the largest manufacturing establishments of Saddlery Hardware in the country. Unlike many other houses in the same line of trade, they eonfiiiff themselves exclusively to Saddlery Hardware, nearly all other larger manufacturers and dealers combining Coach with Saddlery goods. The introduction of " Tomi)kins' Patent Gig Trees" has wrought a comi)lete revolution in the manufacture of Gig Saddles, and led to a corresponding develoiuneut in all kinds of Trimmings used in the manr- facture of Harness. Unlike mo.st Inventors, the Patentee found no great difficulty in intro- ducing his '' Trees " to the trade generally. Being a practical mechanic ; confident in the merits of the article he has produced : and gifted with no ordinary j)erseverance, he at once took a position in the trade Avhich no adverse criticisms, or unforsecu difficul- lies have been able to overcome. Every obstacle tiirown in his way by llicsc intcn stcd in keeping his "Trees'' out of the market, only seemed to develoji and intensify his ability to meet and overcome them. His energy ami power of endurance seemed to be almost unlimited, and no effort looked too great for him to make in his attention to demonstrate the luactibilitv of bis invention. Such a man, moved by a true purpose, and accompanied witli sucli ♦nergy was bound to succeed, and it was but a short time before tlie trade g(>neral]y admitting the merits of his " Trees " commenced to adapt hii improvement ; and to-day, from small beginnings, we now see a businesg of very large proportion, and there is scarcely a connnunily, either in the States or the Canadas, in which the name of "Tompkins," is not as a " household word " in the Saddlery Hardware trade ; and wherever known it is acknowledged that in all that pertains to his especial branch of Lu£:ne?s. he is the recognized leader. His fertile brain is constantly producing new ideas, and so maintaining the lead which he has obtained. Several imitations of his " Trees," have been presented to tl:c trade, Lul invariably they have been based upon the peculiarities of his invention, and up to the present time the mkiuts of his "Tree," have enabled liim to distance all competition : and by this means endeavoring to avoid all suits at law. he has kept beyond all efforts at successful rivalry. In the Spring of 18(i4, Pktek Hayden, Esq., of New York, (a name univer tally known and respected in the Saddlery Hardware Trade,; becom* interested with Mr. Tompkins, and since that time the linn has be en recognized as one of the chain of " EIayden " houses, wliicli arc to ha found m nearly all the large cities of the Union. The capital and influ- ence thus added to the genius and energy of tlic inventor, gave a new impetus to the business, and from that time its growth has been of a very rapid character. At the present time it is divided into thtxe branches and conducted at three different places; at the same time, each branch is under the •upervision and control of the active partner of the house, ilr. Tomi'- KiNs, and all have sprung from the original firm as tirst established lu this city. Its principal manufacturing branch has been located at Ussining, N. Y., on the Hudson river, where it has all the advantages of river and railway communication. Mr. Tompkik.s gives to this department Inn immediate and special attention, and it is at that place that the largt- proportion of their manufactured goods are made. The}- emj)ioy soma two hundred persons, and make all their goods from the foundation, having anoalleable Iron Foundry, Machine Shop, and all the appointment* of a complete manufactory. Their power being furnished by a fifty- horse steam engine. All the goods manufactured at that place are con- signed to the salesroom in New York, and in this city, none being sold direct from the factory. In this city they occupy the greater jiart of tlic large four story ajjd basement, building located on the corner of Muikeland Ijawrenee streets. 7'J Tlie tnlire of No. 2(i8 and all of 270 Maikct street, except the store, being occupied by them. In this place they emiiloy some sixty persons. This firm is noted for one peculiarit}'^ ; that while manj^ others discharge more or less of their employees during the dull seasons, this establish- ment but very rarely adopt that course, preferring to accumulate slock to discharging good workmen. This fact is so well known among mechanics generally, that it is considered as equivalent to securing con- stant Avork the 3'ear round to be employed by this firm. At this place the finer grades of their goods are manufactured : such as very fine Gig Saddles, Tompkins' Covered Trees, Jap. Seat, with Leather Jockeys, &c. They also make a specialty of Fine Harness Mountings : such as Silver Plated, Gilt, Nickel. Covered, Sec, etc. The third and fourth stories of the buildings occupied by them are used for manufacturing purposes. The first and second stories with basement being devoted to show room purposes, and the general business of Saddlery Hardware, of which they always keep a large and well assorted stock on hand, both of domestic and foreign manufacture. The immediate supervision of the store and factory in this city, as also their store in New York, is under the direction of Mr. Joust ]M. G wiNNELL, who has been in their employ for the last twelve years, and by Ills industry and attention to the interests of his employers, has risen froni the workbench to his present responsible position, in Avhich he h?.^ tlic full confidence and esteem of the firm. Tlieir principal warehouse is located at T.) Beekman street, New York City, under the name of H.wdkn & To.mpkins. At that place they occupy the entire building, consisting of five stories and basement. Here the purchaser can always find on hand ready for sale a large and well assorted stock of all their own manufacture, as well as a large and varied assortment of American and English Hardware, in which they do a large and increasing business, and although it is only three years since they opened this house, it has already established for itself a character second to none in the trade. The entire business of the firm is based upon the one-price system ; fair dealing to all is a characteristic which they may well be pround of. Intemperance in any of their employees is frowned upon, and every effort is made to have justice done to every one. That this is appreciated by their employees is evident from the fact, that there are but few changes ever taking place in their working force. They were among the first to issue an illustrated Price-List, showing the character of their goods, witii full d('Scrii)tion niid jirices. 80 Tboir Catalog-ue for 1872, was ackuowledgt-dto be the most couipltte ever issued, and received complimentary notices from the Harness Makers' Journal and other papers. Their Illustrated Catalogue for 1873, is now- being issued, and it is very far in advance of the previous year, and is by far the most complete list of Saddlery Hardware ever presented to the trade. Tliis is so greatly apprec-iated by the trade generally, that in more tlran one case the general details of the book have been cojiicd by others, and i;i oiu; instance at least nearly one-Jialf of tlic ilbistiali'ins in aprice- list issued by (me of their competitors iiave been copied direct from their br.ok. Some idea of tlie vast details of their business may be obtained by reference to their price-list. It is a book of over two hundred and lifty pag s, neatly printed on tinted paper, in good clear type, purchased for tlieir esi)ecial use, and owned by the firm. It contains over one hundred and forty distinct illustrations of their goods. It gives i)rices and descrip- tion of over six hundred ((500) different styles, sizes and qualities of Gig Trees. If a sample of each size and quality of Aarious kinds of articles, illustrated, and for which prices are (luoted in their book, were laid out for examination, it would take over one thousand different Gig Tree Bolt Hooks ; thirteen hundred Terrets ; two hundred Post Hooks ; two hundred and fifty Pad Hooks ; two hundred Fly Post Hooks ; one hun. dred and fifty Fly Terrets ; three hundred Trace Buckles ; four hundred Gig Saddles; two hundred Coach Pads: one hundred Patent Leather Winkers : together with a very large assortment of Gig and Coach Har- ness ; Harness Buckles ; Pad Plates ; Bits ; Rings ; Fronts, and all the "llctb^i!," l||ai,'0!t vt l|ai'1 ^'I'l "'f'"'" 0A .Mx rnJj ^Q^ -f a^y'c r- J / CMSO, WE MASON & HAMLIN ORGANS.^ set in Double «ow. _ror running, aH .,.0 variou.

It combines all the elements of simplicity, occupies but little space and only requires the power of an ordinary saw. The Machine is so arranged that but a few minutes is required to adjust it, so as to cut with positive accuracy the various sizes and forms of Dovetails or straight Tenons ever used on Sashes and Blinds. After once adjusted to the desired form, the operation is so simple that the most inexperienced person can work it. All that is required, is to place the Stuff on the table, and then push it forward until it has passed the saws or cutters, and the work is done, making a more perfect joint (either coped or not as the case may require) than can be made by hand, with a saving of much time in the handling, as each joint (male and female) is produced at a single operation. This machine is already extensively used, and has received the highest commend- ations. No shop (however small,) where power is used, can afford to be without it.
