'THE BUSINESS FRONT OF METROPOLIT IUT \ ASKED Public Spokesmen Appeal For Economy At Hearing On Lehman Estinsate By GEORGE K. LOVETS Associated Press Staif Writer ALBANY, Feb, 6-UFP)-Representa~ Hives of business, industry and the in« dividual taxpayer left to the New York legisiature today the problem of effecting economies, if possible, in the state government. For three hours yesterday at a pub- le airing of Governor Herbert E Lehman's $306,007,000 budget, before the Republican-controlled assembly, public spokesmen urged a reduction In fiscal appropriations of mt least $20,000,000 and. appealed 'for _rellet from taxes. Democrats Ask \How?\ Their pleas were met by a demand from Democratic lawmakers that the legislature be told how it can bring sbout economies, Invariably, the answer was: \Thats your job.\ 'The only specific demands for elimination in the budget were these: (1) $2,600,000 for employment of additional employees to per- mit & 46-hour day in state Instl« tutions.

THE NASSAU: DALY 'REVIEW--LONG 'BLAND'S CREATEST WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5. 1936.° Nargisian, Inc., located at 182 Fulton avente, Brooklyn. Even as the Industry has become & tradition. throughout the world, so has it become an established custom <in the Nargisian family. Hagop 8. Nar- gimian, father of the present officers of the corporation, organized the re- tail business 46 years ago, 1800, in Brooklyn. Starting from & humble beginning, the business has grown steadily and consistently until now it is one of the notable oriental rug shops in Greater New York city and Metropolitan Long Island, New York state's fifth city. Upon the death of the father in 1913, the busines was taken over and conducted by Vahan H. Nargizian, the eldest son, through whose efforts and merchandising foresight the firm has progressed to its outstanding position in the retail business field of the two great areas in which it is located. In 1926, the firm was incorporated, at a time when Vahan Nargizian's two younger brothers, Aram N. and Albert Nargimian, were ready to enter the business life. Incorporation of the firm was an- other step in the perpetuation of the business as a family tradition, Vahan Nargizian is president of the corporation, Aram Nargizian, treas- urer. and Albert Nargizian, secretary. The Hempstead branch of the busi- mess was established in November 1934, at the Fulion avenue address, a large frame dwelling. 'The House is said to be 60 to 70 years old and is owned by Charles R. McLaughlin, of Hempstead. 'The entire ground floor is utilized by the Nargizian brothers for display and office purposes. Opening a Year Later Decision to open a Nassau county branch of the parent storein Brook» lyn came about & year after V Nargizian had moved to Hempstead to live. In the area he saw definite business possibilities, which have rip- ened from opportunity Into profitable realities during the intervening per- lod, and many Of the original shop's New York State's Fifth City - Edward H. Dutcher-Review - Star Business Editor On Business Where avenue, Hempstead, and 263 Flatbush patrons resided in the county. 'The acumen exhibited in this move has corresponded with the ever-increasing business field in Metropolitan Long Island, Direct shipments of the. finest wov- en rugs from the oriental rug centers come to the Nargisian: shops. 'The two main seasons for rug sales, ac- cording to Vahan: Nargizian, are spring and fall. In the spring, he says, is the time to care for costly rugs which have been much in use during the winter months, In con- junction with sales, V. H. Margizsian, Inc., has a service department which does: wash-cleansing and repairing. of rugs. \Cleaning is necessary at the be- ginning of the summer season for any rug which has been used during the winter months,\ believes the elder Nargizian. \The factors of safety and thor- oughness,\ he adds, \are very im- portant. By safety is meant the care that ensures the rug retaining all of its beauty after the operation of cleaning. 'The piles of tufts and the colors must be preserved. Thus the rug is given a clean, wholesome and bright appearance. Wash-cleaning adds life, lustre and is sanitary.\ Storage Is Important Storage, too, is an important factor in the care of tugs during the warm months of the year, 'The firm owns and operates its own cleaning and storage plant in Brooklyn exclusively for rugs and carpets, An added fea- ture of security is that every rug is Insured against fire, theft and moths. Individual care, thorough work, in- surance protection and prompt service are the by-words of this business house. By following these precepts, the firm has won the confidence of many who possess fine orientel rugs and those who appreciate quality work. \ The Hempstead branch is located diagonally across from the telephone Hempstead Oriental Rug Shop Was Oi-ganizéd in November, 1934; President Is a Local Resident Sons Of Founder Carry Father Left Off In 1915 The oriental rug industry is an art as old as the world ftself, yet as modern, from its applications, as the life about us. R Something of the romance behind the weaving of exquisite Chinese or Persian rugs in far-off Asis is reflected in the oriental rug shops of V, H. building on Pulton avenue.. It carries cholce selection of Persian and . besuty and harmony of color, and lustrous pile. There are Kirmans, Kashans, Ispahans, Serouks and other Iranian makes in room siz- ea and scatters in & wide variety for every: requirement. 'The Hempstead shop naturally has the facility: of drawing on the Brooklyn store for additional merchandise whenever the demand calls for the unusual in size or other uniqueness. Vahan Nargizian is an authority on the various weaves of the oriental rug craft, He has devoted all his life to It, both as a vocation artd avocation. Mr. Nargizian stresses an item of information to all owners of lovely oriental rugs, Talking on the care of the oriental rug, with a knowledge of facts based on practical experience, he says of vacuum cleaners: Vacuum Cleaners Helpful \Any one of the belter made vac- uum cleaners is a distinct contribu- | tion to home cleanliness. Use it on your rugs every day, if necessary; for dusting purposes there is nothing bet- ter.\ He discourages the washing of rugs on the floor, pointing out that owners who do so find that their rugs become dull, the nap brittle, the weft and warp begin to erack and break from water rot. 'The use of somp suds and ammonia water, cleaning compounds or other preparations tends to push the dirt and grit from the top of the rug to the bottom of the nap, thereby forming hard-caked dirt, which in a short time rises to the surface again, dulls the colors and makes the pile sticky and gum-like, he contends. \Oriental rugs lasting a lifetime is a myth,\ according to Mr. Nargizian, \unless you make them endure, by proper care. Realities must be square- ly faced, Rugs will soil. Once a year, preferably in the spring or during the a months, Tugs should. be. wash« cléamed by those who actually cleanse them both from the surface and back, if the nap is to be kept lustrous and Muffy and as a preventive from wear, tear and unecessary repairs. Real wash-cleaning is the only sanitary method and it is moth preventive, too.\ NEW HEARING SET ON BUS FRANGH ISE Flaw In Previous Papers Sub- mitted By Offerman Will Be Corrected By Town Because the public service commis- slon believes there is a flaw in the franchise under which Charles Offer man operates a bus route at Merrick, the Hempstead town board will hold ® public hearing Tuesday, February 18, on a new application by Mr. Of- Securities valued at approximately $20,000,000 were taxed as gifts in De- cember under the old achedules.
