The Detmer Woolen Company was founded in 1885 in New York City by Julian Francis Detmer.〔''Julian F. Detmer, Retired Importer, New York Times, November 27, 1958, pg. 29.〕 The business dealt primarily with textile mills in New England.〔 Detmer (December 4, 1865 ''-'' November 26, 1958) was a native of Cleveland, Ohio who came to New York and started a woolens wholesale and importing firm. He was president of Detmer & Moore, Detmer & Richter, the Detmer Woolen Company, and Detmer, Bruner and Mason. ==Company history== The Detmer Woolen Company maintained offices in the Parker Building, New York City when the structure burned in January 1908. The fire which destroyed the edifice began in the Detmer offices on the fourth floor.〔''Parker Fire Not Incendiary'', New York Times, January 20, 1908, pg. 6.〕 In late April 1909 the business leased of floor space from the Bush Terminal Company on the fourth floor of Loft Building No. 3 at the foot of Thirty-Seventh Street, in South Brooklyn, New York. Detmer Woolen maintained its Manhattan, New York offices but removed its entire inventory of stock to its new Brooklyn headquarters.〔''In The Real Estate Field'', New York Times, April 25, 1909, pg. 24.〕 In July 1915 customs officials won a judgment against the Detmer Woolen Company. The ruling involved a discrepancy in the classification of woven fabrics made of silk and wool. The importers claimed a duty of 35% which was challenged and reversed to the amount of 45%. The Detmer Woolen Company failed to request a commission to study the construction of cloth in the factory abroad. The 10% extra duty resulted from the primary value of the fabric being adjudged to be silk rather than worsted cloth.〔''Latest Customs Rulings'', New York Times, July 23, 1915, pg. 14.〕 In October 1918 the Federal Reserve Bank of New York noted that the Detmer Woolen Company accounted for $50,000 of the district's $1,375,331,000 in subscriptions to the Fourth Liberty Loan war bond selling campaign.〔''May Exceed Quota In This District'', New York Times, October 20, 1918, pg. 20.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Detmer Woolen Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
