Hanrxn began business in Now York City., Ite opera- tlons woro at firat cenducted on a small seslo. Joux Hauren woa compositor and praof-reader to the establishmont, and Jaxes was pressman, Though tho young firm bogan with mengro facilities, it had abuntlant resourcos {n invantive ability, industry, persoverance, and fidelity. Iis first efforts wore coufined to the averago run of coramon job-printing. Becoming favorably known In this connection, it undortook the print- ing of books on ita own account, nnd then accopt~ ed commlsnions from tho book-gelfora. Thus wan Inid the foundation of tho groatest publishing bouso in Amorica. Two youuger brothers, Josern and Frercugn, servod o regular appron- ticoship, and woro nftorwards mado mombers of tho firm. Tise eocond of those fonr famous Hanrgms, Joun, died in New York City last Thureday, Ho wag born in 1707, two years aftor his brother Jaxes, four years oarlior than bis brother Joszem Wrstry, sud nivo years beforo his brother Furrcurs, the youugost and now only aurviving brother. Joux Ianrven, like sll his brothers, was & regularly indentured apprentice, Ho was gent to tho city by his fathor oxpressly to loarn the ** Art Presorvative " ; and ho seems to hiavo entored into the underatanding most heartily, and porbaps even with rome dimn con- ceptlon of tho great poseibilities that woro in this mannor oponed up to him, Not n moment of timo was logt by the two elder brothora in ae- quiriug the rudimonts of thelr trade, Thoy dovoted nli their spare timo to oxtra work, and woro thue enabled, when their apprenticeship terminated, to bogin business on thewr own bo- half, as we bave aleeady notsd, Tho business of Haneen & Brothers gradually enlargad, and their premisea grew accordingly. Niua years aftor tho formation of tho first firm wo find tho brothors occupying two num. bers on CUff atreet, which are at the pres- ent time inmcluded in thelr mngniticont new cetablishment, In 1863 they occu- pied nine adjoining buildings on Oliff atroat, the main front boing on Franklin 8yuare. On Dec, 10, 1853, whon tho new quarters had heen ocen- pied Lut & fow days, a fire broke out, and in two bours’ tina tho nine butldings were consumerd. ‘The indomitabla onergy of the firm was not sub- dued by this misfortuno, though ita losses wers £750,000 nbove insurance. Baforo the smoke had clesred away, arrangemonts had been made for continuing sll the old publicatious, for ropro- ducing the storeotyps plates that Lad been de- stroyod, snd for building the new eatab- lishment, elogant and complote in all its appointmonts, whick stands to-day on tho site of the old ono. To Jonx HAnrsn, a8 mnch as to avny othier member of tho firm, bo- longs tho credit of this resolution. ITo sirong- 1y opposed sud finally defeated the proposition, swhich was geriouslv discnesed by his brothers, of rotiring from bueluess, and dividing tho copital ot tho firm. Joux Hanrzn was for many years $he mana. ger and controlling spiris of tho vast eoncern on Frankiin 8quare, Ile personally supervieed and pianned the coustruction of the now bnild- ing, and continued, until & fow years ago, alvays alert and untiring in higdevotion to tho details of tho business. Ho was financial managoer, gonoral purchasing agent, and ovorsecr. Ho was oxcoed- ifugly methodical in his habits, bus always conrtoous and attontive. Ho was especially con- cornod with the typographical sppearanco of the various books fesued by the firm, and in im- portant ceses bis sign-manual bad to bo afiixed to the titlo-pago befora the work could go on. On tho death of Lis brother Jauzs, Jony Han- ren retized from active business, About tho be- gloniog of last June hoe had an attack of pavalyals, and his death was not thereforo un- expocted, i MMr. TFrercenrs Haures slone of tha four brothers remalns to conduct tho business, Ho Las tho aseistauce of soven young Hanpei, sons of the founders, who for many years havo been engagod in the businees of tho house, Tho family, it is well known, has long boon o tower of strength in tho Mothodist Church; and tho members of it have boen quite as coosistont Christiaus jn.the discbarge of {Lair daily duties 28 In the sanctnary or the Conferenco.
