Hugh Chalmers

HUGH CHALMERS, Fancy Paper and Drapers’ Box Manufacturer, 88, Dunlop Street, Glasgow.

    In this great manufacturing centre, with its many varied industries, not the least important is that represented by Mr. Hugh Chalmers, Fancy Paper and Drapers’ Box Manufacturer, whose long connection with this branch of productive activity fully claims prominent recognition in these reviews.

    The business was established over 30 years by the present proprietor. The premises comprise spacious single flat, divided into warehouse, office, and workshops — the whole being conveniently arranged to facilitate the operations of the business. The chief productions of the house include every description of fancy paper boxes for feathers, flowers, and other fancy goods, and heavier qualities for drapers and wholesale warehousemen, &c. A steadily sustained trade is done by Mr. Chalmers in supplying these goods to the leading wholesale and retail houses in the City, the connection being chiefly of a local character.

    The services of a numerous and efficient staff of workpeople are employed in the manufacturing departments of the business, which is admirably and capably organised in every detail of the management under the experienced supervision of the principal, whose thorough knowledge of the trade affords a convincing guarantee for uniform superiority of material and make in every article produced at the establishment. Mr. Chalmers is widely known and esteemed in commercial circles, and has, by his invariably straightforward and honourable business methods, deservedly secured a most substantial measure of confidence and support of all classes of the mercantile community in the district.
