| TEXT | The wholesale tobacco business has become an important factor in the trade of this city, and Newark-made goods are known and preferred wherever introduced. Especially is this the case with domestic cigars, where honesty in the stock used has become a leading feature. Among the best-known places in the city is that of John G. Crawford, at No. 64 Orange Street, who is a wholesale tobacconist and cigar manufacturer, and conducts, at No. 469 Broad Street, as fine a retail cigar store as can be found in the city. This house was founded in 1849 by Mr. Crawford, who has continued at its head during a period of thirtythree years, or a third of a century, and has successfully operated the business. He occupies the three story brick building No. 64 Orange Street, 25x75 feet in dimensions, gives employment to some fifty hands in the various departments, and carries a large and valuable stock of leaf tobaccos, tobacconists' supplies, etc., and manufactures several widely known brands of cigars for the trade. Every facility is in use, and the best goods for the least money are here to be obtained. The trade lies chiefly in this city and State, while it is unsurpassed by any other house in the city in its extent and general importance. Mr. Crawford is a native Jerseyman and is well known to the trade of the State as conducting a leading house. He is a practical man at the business, a shrewd manager, has an excellent reputation for industry and fair dealing, and ranks among the most reliable business men of this industrial city. Mr. Crawford's two sons, E. W. and J. F. Crawford, have been associated with the business life and have become identified with the business and are fully acquainted with all the details. These gentlemen will probably succeed their father in time to come. |
