| TEXT | The Delaware and Hudson Canal Company is one of the largest coal and railroad corporations operating mines in the Wyoming Valley,, State of Pennsylvania. Its original charter bears date April 7th, 1823, and it was organized in 1825 by the election of Philip Hone president. Under the powers and privileges granted by the States of New York and Pennsylvania this corporation constructed a canal from Honesdale, Pa., to Rondout, on the Hudson River, one hundred and eight miles in length, besides operating five hundred miles of railway, and during its existence has marketed fifty million tons oi coal and divided among its shareholders over forty millions of dollars. Twenty-two collieries are owned and operated by this Company, mining yearly over 2,000,000 tons. Its depot in Newark is located at the Erie Bridge, foot of Fourth Avenue, with principal office at No. 454 Broad Street. Alexander H Ross represents the Company as its sales agent on the line of the Morris Canal, Passaic River, and the towns adjacent to the city of Newark. The Company does both a wholesale and retail trade, and has, in the face of much competition, increased its business fourfold. Mr. Ross, the sales agent, having spent half his life in the coal trade, is thoroughly acquainted with the details necessary to the economical and efficient management of the business, and deserves credit for the results obtained. The coal mined by this Company is suitable for steam and all domestic purposes, giving the greatest amount of steam in the shortest possible time, some of the largest manufactories in the State now using it ia preference to other and desirable coals. The coal is sold under the names of Lackawanna, Baltimore and Plymouth mines, each kind having qualities, that commends it to those in need. The general offices of this Company are located at No. 21 Courtlandt Street, New York, Thomas Dickson, president, |
