| TEXT | Manufacturer of Wood and Paper Boxes, and Sash, Doors and Blinds. In Newark and vicinity an extensive lumber business is carried on, and there are also a number of establishments engaged in the manufacture of sashes, blinds, doors, etc. Prominent among those so engaged is the olde-stablished house of William King, which has been conducted since the decease of that gentleman by Messrs. Edward L. Conklin, Joel W. Hatt, and Isaac W. King as co-partners, who have continued the business since 1867. The business was established by Mr. William King in 1832, and from that time has always enjoyed a prosperous career, and under the management of the present proprietors has been largely increased and the trade extended. The lumber yard, on Ogden Street between Clay and Cross Streets, occupies several acres and extends to the Passaic River, a distance of several hundred feet, and is amply supplied with shedding for the storage of lumber and timber, an immense stock of which is always on hand, including a general assortment of all kinds for building purposes. At the corner of Plane Street and the M. and E. Railroad the mill is located, which is a large structure, fitted up with the latest improved wood-working machinery for the manufacture of sash, blinds, doors, mouldings and pack' ing boxes, and also paper boxes. A large force of workpeople are employed. This company is rated among the leading lumber dealers and manufacturers of the city, and much of the success it has obtained is owing to their liberal and straightforward method of doing business. The co-partners are all natives of Newark and have always taken an active interest in local affairs. Mr. Edward L. Conklin has represented the Fifteenth Ward as a Chosen Freeholder and is popular with all classes of the community. |
