| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | Among the representative merchants in the Oranges there are none who transact a larger business or are more prominent in the community than Mr. Ambrose M. Matthews, who has since 1866 been engaged in dealing in coal, wood, and masons' materials, etc., having his office and yards at Orange Valley, on the line of the Morris and Essex Division of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad. The yards occupy nearly an acre of ground and are well provided with shedding and chutes for the reception and storage of coal, which is received direct from the mines in the Lehigh and Scranton sections of Pennsylvania. Well-screened coal, free from slate, is a specialty, and is always on hand, in every size, and sold by the car-load or ton; English and American cannel coal is also a specialty, and is pronounced as being the best to be had in the city. Oak, pine, and hickory wood is also a part of the business, and can always be obtained by the cord, or is siwed and split to order in any quantity desired. Another important branch of the business is masons' materials, such as plaster, hair, cement, bricks, lime, lath, etc.; also well and drain pipe, and tiles and chimney caps and thimbles; blue-stone and flagging and curbing are also handled in large quantities and an immense annual business transacted. In this line of business Mr. Matthews is one of the foremost in this section, and he supplies a large demand from all the surrounding country. Mr. Matthews is a native of Essex County, where he has always resided and been prominently identified with its commercial and local affairs and has done much to materially advance its prosperity. He has also given considerable attention to military affairs and has always taken an active interest and encouraged the martial spirit of this vicinity. |
