| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | The importation of foreign and tropical fruits in great quantities is comparatively a new enterprise, and many things have combined in the past few years to increase this industry to large proportions. Tbe modern inventions and discoveries in the mode of packing and conveying fruits of delicate and perishable character, and the increased facilities of transportation, have greatly contributed to increase this important and useful business. Among the pioneer importers and dealers in foreign fruits special mention should be made of Mr. J. Cromwell, No. 201 Washington Street, who founded this business in 1868, which since its inception has always enjoyed a liberal patronage from jobbers and first-class retailers. Mr. Cromwell has fully demonstrated that foreign fruits of the most delicate character can be imported and sold in this market with almost all the original richness of flavor, if proper care be taken in packing and handling them. The premises occupied are very spacious and commodious and are fitted up with every necessary appliance for the prosecution of the business. He deals extensively in domestic fruits during the season, and gives special attention to the selection of various kinds for shipping, for which his long and practical experience well qualifies him. A specialty is made of bananas, pineapples, and oranges, which are received direct from Florida, Jamaica, and Dominica. In all branches of his business Mr. Cromwell's facilities are unsurpassed by those of any of his contemporaries, and being an importer from tbe original places of supply he is enabled to offer advantages to the trade difficult to be obtained elsewhere. Personally, he is a native of Maryland, and is highly esteemed by the community as a business man of rare energy and an upright private citizen. In conclusion, it maj be added that those opening mercantile relations with this house may implicitly rely upon the promptness and liberality of all transactions undertaken, and of receiving the best class of goods attainable at the lowest market prices. |
