TEXT	Among the notable and most prominent coal depots for the sale and distribution of coal and wood, as well as one of the most extensive to be found in this vicinity, is that of Thomas Thedford, which is located at the above address, and the business is still being conducted at the point where Mr. Thedford first inaugurated the enterprise. The yard is very extensive, occupying four full lots, and anthracite and bituminous coal, Virginia pine, oak, and hickory wood in large quantities are kept in stock for sale, and a very large retail trade is being done. Mr. Thedford is a native of Ireland who was brought to this country when a boy, and has now attained the meridian of life. He has a branch at the foot of Twenty-ninth Street on the North River, and is interested in another at the East River and Seventy-fourth Street. This concern is known as the Philadelphia and Schuylkill Coal Company, and Mr. J. S. Smoot is an authorized salesman. The company is doing a very extensive retail trade, and employs a large number of men, together with the necessary complement of horses, trucks, and carts in the prosecution of this business. The gentlemen in charge here have the confidence of the community, and under their supervision a large and still expanding trade is being done.
