It is an occasion to commemorate with festivities, wherein all dwellers in this glorious syndicate of free institutions should join hands. The peoples of all sections have met together to strew upon the sacred soil the bright roses of the century's memories, while multi- tudes rejoice and many bands play quick music to the dead march of time. E. RIDLEY & SONS, GRAND. ORCHARD AND ALLEN STS . X. V. EDW'D RIDLEY & SONS, Backward rolls the tide of events through the bitter and bloody struggle for independence until, amid palms and plaudits, with the victor's crown upon his brow, George Washington was chosen President of the States, and took the oath of office on the balcony of old Federal Hall just one hundred years ago. Since then the march of progress, though marked by the casual- ties of a civil war which drained the life-blood from hundreds of thousands of noble citizens, has yet been onward and upward to the heights upon which we stand to-day, supreme amid the nations, God-fearing, and self-sustained. BENJAMIN HARRISON. As a people we have the widest ground upon which to congratu- late ourselves, above and beyond the constantly accruing territories within our jurisdiction. The deft fingers of native industry have made our wildernesses to blossom " as the rose." In every section glitter the spires of hundreds of towns and cities where flows, in ample channels, the nation's prosperous life. There are asylums for the afflicted, and workshops for the strong ; and there are churches for all. GRAND, ORCHARD AND ALLEN STS.. X. V. EDWD RIDLEY & SONS, From a thousand temple towers resounds the glad refrain of the old bell in Independence Hall, which was the first to proclaim "liberty throughout the land, to all the inhabitants thereof," the heritage we are here, with loyal hearts, to celebrate amid the conse- crated symbols of undying devotion. Behold the conquering hero fresh from the blood-stained field ! See him take his place once more in the congress of his coadjutors ! Behold the world electrified the struggling Nation free, and he its chosen President ! How grave and dignified the father-face uplifted beneath the triumphal arch at Philadelphia ! MARTHA WASHINGTON. How fraught with wisdom and tempered with justice his first mes- sage, with music swelling and cannon booming, amid a tumult of exaltation which we are here to emulate. Few are left to tell the story of New York as it was a hundred years ago ; but there are some landmarks standing, sentinel-like, along the pathway of progression, while human currents ebb and flow and aggregate among the fresh and powerful nineteenth-century influx. The academic press that siren-voiced organ of all nations, sends its campaniles into the sky. Bridges span our circling rivers, and palaces multiply along our thoroughfares. Trade rears its tem- ples, and Commerce crowns its kings with a discrimination which speaks volumes for our busy age. GRAND, ORCHARD AND ALLEN STS., N. V. EDW'D RIDLEY & SONS, These are days during which the greatest problems are being solved, and the very lightnings are harnessed to the chariot wheels of advance. To the past belongs the prowess of such achievements as those with which the great liberator broke the cable of our bondage to the mother country. Yet we of to-day are forced to know the war of wits, the constant contact of mind with mind, the wear and tear of fierce and trying competition. i " The Story of the Volunteer Fire Department." Copyright, 18-<9, by Harper A Brotlu OLD VOLUNTEER FLRE DEPARTMENT. Precedence amid the principalities and " powers that be " is simply a question of human capability. As an example, we refer our readers to the late Edward Ridley, venerable head and founder of the house of E. Ridley & Sons. But half a century ago, the great stores in Grand, Allen, Orchard and Eldridge streets, New York, were represented by one small stand ; but, like the germ of the giant oak, it was solid and enduring, and it stands to-day encompassed within its own immensity. Root and GRAND, ORCHARD AND ALLEN STS., N. Y. EDVV'D RIDLEY & SONS, 5 branch are an historic instance of the efficacy of the perfect leader- ship which controls its forces with a view to safe and enduring results. To have served the great public upon any plane during the briefest lapse is commendatory. To have continued the pleasant office for half a century of unbroken transactions constitutes a commercial anomaly of which there are but few instances in our trade traditions. Strangers from all sections who come to the Centennial celebration are visiting in numbers this Caravansary of the world's wares and wonders. The New York TRIBUNE has set forth its patronage in an item concerning their spring opening : E.RIDLEY 1849 THE HOUSE OF E. RILlLEY IN 1849. " The army of clerks has been busy from early until late waiting or. the hundreds of patrons. Ridley's has been an important house in this city during the last fifty years, and it bids fair to last another half century. Inside of the store one is dazed at the lavish display of beautiful and useful articles. Every article of clothing worn by men or women, from the time that they are babies till the last farewells arc- said, can be found at Ridley's. (IRANI), ORCHAKI* AND AI.I-KX STS., N. V. EDW'D RIDLEY & SONS, Not only that, but a good stock of carpets and furniture, and many useful household articles, are also on hand. The display of hats and bonnets on the second floor of the large building, and the display of ladies' suits on the third floor, are particularly beautiful and artistic. One handsome bonnet rested on a cap-shaped skeleton frame, with verot rose velvet binding on the edge, covered with serpent green lees, a wreath of graduating chrysanthemums around the crown, fall- ing over all being a piece of lees lace, embroidered with pearl spangles, and on the top a small bunch of shaded tips of copper, verot rose, and green tints. LATE EDWARD RIDLEY. There are many other handsome bonnets, and if there are none to suit already made up, a customer can buy the kind of a frame she wants, and the style of trimming that suits her, and have it made up while she waits. In the suit department there are so many hand- some things that it is hard to tell which best deserves especial mention." But the beautiful thing is, they are all sold at figures which bring standard articles of excellent quality within the reach of the day laborer as well as the millionaire ; and this was the mission conceived and executed by Mr. Edward Ridley, and confirmed by the present heads and their corps of well-qualified coadjutors. GRAND, ORCHARD AND ALLEN STS., N. Y. EDW'D RIDLEY & SONS. In the furniture store of E. Ridley & Sons, corner of Grand and Eldridge Streets, there is material for the making of hundreds of homes chairs, sofas, tables, etc., of the old colonial type such as was seen in Mt. Vernon a hundred years ago. THE HorSK OF EDW'D RIDLEY A SONS, 1889. RIDLEY'S FASHION MAGAZINE contains suggestions of the vast and varied stock they carry, and is one of the most striking expo- nents of the nineteenth century system of controlling the patronage of dwellers remote from the great centers of metropolitan commerce.
