TRADE CARD - G. V. S. Quackenbush & Co - Fine Dress Goods - Troy, NEW YORK: Gerrit Van Schaick Quackenbush, engaged in the dry goods business in 1824 with William C. Miller, under the name of G. V. S. Quackenbush & Co., at No. 202 River Street. In October 1st, 1856, the store removed to the south-east corner of Third and Albany streets. The large and finely-lighted four-story store is a creditable monument to the enterprise. The business being wholly that of the sale of dry goods, the stock of the different departments, both wholesale and retail, comprised silks, woolen, cotton, and other dress fabrics, prints, cloths, linens, muslins, underwear, hosiery, laces and embroideries, shawls, cloaks, haberdashery, carpets, curtains, and other products of the loom and needle. An elevator carries buyers from floor to floor. The spaciousness of the salesrooms is one of the striking features of the well-ordered establishment. Situated at the intersection of Third Street and Broadway, two of Troy’s principal thoroughfares, it is of easy access both to city shoppers as well as country customers. The Trade Card, illustrated with a bouquet of roses, promoted its ware, which included a \"new line\" of parasols to \"The Ladies of Try and Albany\". This 3½\" x 5½\" Trade Card is in good condition.
