TEXTAmong the various commercial and industrial pursuits carried on in Newark, the ice trade is by no means one of small importance. It is conducted by thorough-going, active business men of capital and experience, and furnishes employnient to a large number of workmen. Among the various companies engaged in the business the Hudson River Ice Co. holds a leading position, and although but recently established controls a large and steadily increasing business. This Company, as its name indicates, obtains its supply of ice from the upper Hudson River, which is brought to the docks at the foot of Centre Street in great blocks, clear as crystal, pure and beautiful, and full of suggesting comfort during the hot weather. Every facility is provided by the Company for cutting and storing ice on the banks of the river during the winter, and boats are constantly employed during the summer delivering it at Newark, from whence it is delivered to consumers in the city and neighborhood and shipped to the adjacent cities and towns. The president and treasurer of the Company is Mr. James Saunders, and the secretary Mr. John Saunders, both of whom are from Greene County, New York. The growing trade of the Company and the systematic manner in which its affairs are managed speak volumes for the ability and energy of the enterprising officers.
