Darling. Their upper story and roof were burned and the lower floors were soaked with water.New-York City, New York Times, May 11, 1855, pg. 8.
As successors to Greenleaf & Kinsley the business was significant in mid-19th century New York for the variety of products it sold. Aside from medicinal items, the company supplied country merchants, artisans, grocers, bakers, confectioners, distillers, and restaurateurs.Special Notices, New York Times, May 4, 1853, pg. 1.
Business fails
Kinsley & Darling became insolvent in 1856. According to testimony given at the New York Court of General Sessions, December 11, 1856, Charles Wills of Wills & Conley, had advanced money on notes for Kinsley & Darling six months prior to the druggists' failure. Emil Schoning, a druggist whose business address was 175 Second Street and 700 Eighth Avenue, was requested by Darling to go and buy notes for $100. Schoning testified concerning this at the trial of Wills and Conley for receiving $7,000 (~${{Format price|{{Inflation|index=US|value=7000|start_year=1856}}}} in {{Inflation/year|US}}) of stolen goods.Law Intelligence, New York Times, December 12, 1856, pg. 3.
