| TEXT | The largest and most successful carriage builders in the Oranges is the firm of Williams & Condit, who have two establishments - one at the corner of Main and Lumber Streets, Orange, and the other on Main Street, near the Junction, East Orange. The business was originally established in 1855 by Mr. Zenas Williams, the senior member of the firm, who in 1857 associated with him Mr. Samuel Condit, and from that time has been continued under the present firmname. They build all kinds of carriages, coaches, phaetons, buggies, village carts, etc., and also expVess wagons in all styles. In the construction of carriages they use care in the selection of well-seasoned wood and most durable materials and employ only mechanics who are skilled in their respective departments, and the result is they turn out carriages which, for beauty, style, durability, and finish equal those of the best makers of the country. Their business is a large one, necessitating two establishments. That at Orange consists of several buildings forming an "L", and comprises a smith-shop, wood-working shop, paint-shop, etc., which are about one hundred feet deep and fifty in width. The shop at East Orange consists of several buildings in a cluster, divided into different departments, the rear building being about one hundred and fifty feet, with two wings of fifty feet each, forming an "E". The shops are provided with every convenience and appliance necessary for the business of building carriages and also for making repairs, which also forms a part of the business carried on by the firm. Mr. Zenas Williams and Mr. Samuel Condit, the members of the firm, are both of Essex County, and, being practical mechanics, give their special attention to all the details in the construction of a carriage or wagon. They are enterprising business men, well known in the community for their liberality and public spirit, and hold leading positions among the representative men in their section of the State. |
