J.C. Jones, Merchant Tailor

J.C. Jones, merchant tailor, had removed to a new store at 618 Broadway (all the way from 608 Broadway) in 1869. He always had on hand English, Irish, Scotch, French and German cloths and cassimeres. “Cassimere” was a closely woven twilled fabric, usually wool, for suits. His home was at 53 Jefferson Street, a healthy hike to Broadway in those days when Albany was just expanding up to the Washington Park area.
