I.H. WEINBERG & Co.

39, White Street, New York


Image
I.H. Weinberg & Co. - New York - 1907

I. H. Weinberg & Co., are ready for the fall season with three popular brands of umbrellas the “Armor”, the “Anchor” and the "Anvil" a trio of good values that buyers will appreciate. The "Armor" is the original brand brought out by this firm about two years ago and is made from the same high grade cloth used at that time and now controlled exclusively by them, thus insuring a standard of quality which is an important factor with buyers who aim to offer dependable goods. Among the novelties this firm is offering a practical handle innovation designed to hold the cover when not in use on the umbrella. The handle is hollow and the cover is neatly tucked away in this space out of sight and always ready when wanted. The novelty is offered in two styles, gun metal and horn for both ladies' and men’s umbrellas.

DOST & BRANDT

265, West Broadway, New York


Image
Dost & Brandt - New York - 1911


Dost & Brandt will show their new line of imported handle novelties for spring, 1909, about September 1. Of special interest is the large collection of carved wood and vegetable ivory handles for parasols. The showing is the finest ever brought over and embraces numerous fine specimens of carving and artistic coloring. Birds, cats, dogs, chickens, elephants, in fact almost every variety of animals that can be adapted to umbrella handles are shown all artistically colored in natural tints, giving a realistic representation of the animal depicted. It is a wonderful showing and makers desirous of securing attractive novelties for the coming season should not fail to inspect the sample line now on exhibition.

FRETZ, GROSS & Co.

1015, Diamond Street, Philadelphia


Image
Fretz, Gross & Co. - Philadelphia - 1908

Samuel S. Fretz, Jr, and Isaiah W. Gross, trading as Fretz, Gross & Co., have leased from the Receivers of the S.S. Fretz Mfg. Co., the Umbrella Hardware Department and the Umbrella Manufacturing Department for the purpose of paying Creditors in full and saving the valuable Automatic Machinery in the Umbrellal Hardware Department and our 10-acre Factory Real Estate for the Stockholders of the S.S. Fretz Mfg. Co., and this means we must sell daily 8,000 "Foldwell" Umbrella Frames (Penny Rental per frame). and 4,000 complete "Foldwell" Umbrellas.



Fretz, Gross & Co. Begin Business

At last a definite and authoritative announcement is made for the future of umbrella interests at Tenth and Diamond streets. The new concern is Fretz, Gross & Co., composed of S.S. Fretz, Jr., and Isaiah W. Gross. They have started the manufacture of umbrellas in a part of the second floor of the old building, the business address being 1015 Diamond street. The firm has also leased temporarily the rib plant and expects to demonstrate that it can be operated profitably and produce larger returns for creditors if continued by the old management. The temporary lease is made on the basis of $2,000 a month rental, a rate which, if continued, would produce a satisfactory revenue and undoubtedly secure greater returns for creditors than if sold outright for $50,000. The sale has not been ordered by the court and Mr. Fretz hopes to save the plant.

Mr. Fretz, Sr., will, of course, be connected with the new enterprise in an advisory capacity and by the aid of his son and Mr. Gross hopes to change the “Waterloo” into success. History repeats and also reverses itself. The Umbrella Napoleon, by his determination and persistency, proposes to turn defeat into victory, and if the qualities for which he is noted count for anything in the new start, he ought to win out.

The firm is offering some attractive umbrella values and buyers are requested to ask for the twelve "Monthly Foldwells,” from January to December, names on ties, as dependable Philadelphia made umbrellas.

Fretz, Gross & Co., 1015 Diamond St., Philadelphia, Pa., manufacturers of umbrella hardware, have acquired property at 26th St. and Sedgley Ave. in that city and will erect a new plant on it. A one story, concrete factory will be built. Umbrella tubing and hardware will be made.
