a RNMARKABLE CAREER.
Brief Account Of the Life of 81

a Brief Account of the Life of Sig
mund Eisner.
When a man establishes business
in a community almost the first in
quiry is what are his business capa-
cities and where did he come from.
and what are the prospects of the
business established being a perman-
ent success. These questions have
been asked in reference to Sigmund
Eisner, who recently engaged in The
manufacture of clothing in South
Amboy. and in the following we will
endeavor to give some facts relating
to Mr.. Eisner. hoping thereby to in
terest the people of the borough to
such an extent that as far as practic-
able they may extend their good
wishes and cooperation, that the
business lately established may be-
come a permanent success and grow
TO such dimensions that it may be
one of the leading Industries in South
Amboy.
Mr.. Eisner was born February IA,
1853, and is a native of Austria. He
was educated in Ahe public schools of
his native place, which was supple
mcnted by business training. At
an early age he became identified as
an assistant in the business of his
father, who was a grain dealer. Wish
ing for larger field in which to dis
play his business qualities as well as
to see more of the world, he came 10
America in 1882 and located III Key
port. where he embarked in business
in small way. BY his industry,
economy and rare business capabil-
tiles he was enabled, in the following
wear. to establish the manufacture
Of clothing at Red Bank, where he
has been located ever since. At the
3 inception of this enterprise he had
but two sewing machines and two
girls. but from this small beginning
there has been constant increase in
business, which now necessitates the
employment of about three hundred
and fifty persons at his Red Bank
factory and on account of the scarcity
of help in his home town he was COM
pelled to purchase the Demorest
Brothers plant in this place to enable
him to fill the orders that were pour
ing in upon him. During the last
six years he has been largely engaged |
in the manufacture of uniforms for
. the United States government and
during this time the garments manu-
factured and delivered by him reach
ND in the millions. Mr.. Eisner's main
factory is located at No. 1881 Bridge
avenue, Red Bank, and his branch
factory is located in Feltus street at
the intersection of Main and Augusta
streets in the borough of South Am
boy.
Although this branch factory was
only established February 1, 1907,
there are about thirty persons en-
ployed there at present and we hope
TO be able in the near future to be
able to chronicle the enlargement of
the manufacture and the employment
OF more persons. We have here an
object lesson of what push, persever-
arlce and business capabilities will do
for young man coming to land OF
strangers, having to learn our Ian
guage and customs, engaging single
handed and alone and building up a
business in twenty-five years that to-
day gives employment to almost four
hundred persons. Truly there is a
chance for young men in New Jersey
to do something yet.
