Boston, West Point Riding Academy, Masonic Temple, Brooklyn, City Investing Building, Title Guarantee and Trust Building, Hammerstein's Victoria, New York, Hippodrome, New York, and scores of other equally important buildings, gives some idea of the scope of the business done by this prosperous Jersey City firm. And yet it gives but a faint idea, for the business done by this firm cannot be told by words. The wonderful building development in New York City and vicinity during the past few years has taxed the capacity of the plant to its utmost, but by careful and attentive business management it has succeeded in coping with the demand, and in no case have customers been kept waiting by reason of failure to deliver orders. The system of storing lumber in the yards is so arranged that every piece is known. In these times, when 500,000 buildings are as common as 10,000 structures were a few years ago, this is one of the most essential factors of the success of a modern business concern, and by this feature alone the customers of Collins, Lavery & Co. have increased in number three-fold since the present extensive building and construction operations in New York and Jersey City began, requiring that lumber and timber be delivered during the hours of the night as well as in the day-time. The company has a private telephone line from New York connecting all departments. Five trunk lines are kept busy at all times. The business was the first in this section of the country to apply electricity to the running of a saw- and planing-mill. The officers are David B. Collins, president; George C. Lavery, vice-president, and James L. Nobel, secretary. Their New York office is at 32 Cortlandt Street. Early in 1907 a factory for the manufacture of packing
boxes was added. The company achieved success in this line equal to their success in the lumber business. The plant, which is located at Communipaw Avenue just east of the main line of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, covers an area of about ten acres, and the product is lumber and timber. They also deal in white pine, spruce and hemlock, with hardwoods and rift-grain flooring a specialty. The firm is a member of the Board of Trade of Jersey City. |
