| TEXT | It is now five years since Mr. Van Gieson first embarked in the livery business in Montclair. A thorough man of business in the fullest sense of the word, and a very popular man among the citizens of Montclair, Mr. Van Gieson attracted a large custom to his wellapprinted stables. Convenient as was his first location, yet the exigencies of his constantly increasing business caused him to perceive that a more suitable and commodious building was required. Accordingly, the new structure on Bloomfield Avenue was begun. It is now but a short time since it was completed and occupied by Mr. Van Gieson. The wide carriage entrance first attracts attention, and on entering two neat and tasty offices, one for the recep tion of customers and the other for transacting private business, are seen on the left. A harness-room, stocked with neat and stylish gear, is situated on the right. Through a wide passage-way a room of large proportions for such vehicles as are frequently in demand is reached. A large elevator for conveying to the upper floor such carriages as are not in constant use is found in this room. Beyond are twenty-nine stalls, comfortably fitted up for the reception of horses. Above is kept hay, straw, and feed, which are passed through the floor to the horses below. This large two-story building is fifty feet wide and one hundred long, with annex of 25x40 feet, the entire well supplied with water facilities. For the convenience of those doing business with him a Bell Telephone has been introduced into the office. Both Mr. Van Gieson and son are natives of New Jersey. Mr. Van Gieson, Sr., has creditably filled several township offices, and both are gentlemen commanding the respect of a large circle. |
