TEXTThe extensive lumber yard of Mr. E. P. Backus located on the Passaic River, at the foot of Bridge Street, covers about one and a half acres of ground, and is provided with sheds and storehouses and every facility for storage purposes. An extensive stock is always kept on hand of all kinds of oak, pine and hemlock building lumber, also hardwoods, cherry, ash, maple, walnut, etc. Mr. Backus makes a specialty of mahogany, which he has in large quantities, and is the only dealer in Newark handling that wood. The business now conducted by him was originally established by Mr. Peter Van Wagoner and was one of the first lumber yards in Newark. Mr. Backus was fourteen years in the business previous to his becoming the proprietor, which was in 1878, and has a thorough knowledge of the business from a long experience and gives it his personal attention. He controls a large trade and is enjoying a substantial success. A native of Essex County, most of his life has been passed in Newark, where he is popular and holds a leading position among the substantial merchants of the city. He is a young man of enterprise and energy, and liberal and public spirited to the highest degree.
