| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | Mr. Robert Thedford is one of the most active and thoroughly enterprising members of the New York coal trade. He first established in business at No. 114 Madison Street, in 1876. and in 1888 opened his present yard at the corner of Tenth Avenue and 55th Street. It is 100x100 feet in dimensions (with a nice brick office), and affords accommodation for a fine stock of Lehigh, Lackawanna, Red Ash, and other choice hard and soft brands of coal. Mr. Thedford is very popular as a dealer and has built up a large and permanent trade, requiring the services of a large number of hands, while he keeps many horses and carts for delivery purposes. Mr. Thedford is likewise a member of the firm of Stokes & Thedford, wholesale and retail coal dealers, whose large yard is very eligibly located on the North River, at the foot of 55th Street. Here they have been established for about six years, and have one of the best equipped coal yards in the country. Their yard covers about half a block, and contains a hoisting engine and arrangements to unload and dump the coal direct from the boats back into the yard, saving all double handling and heavy expense. Here upwards of twenty men are employed and thousands of tons of coal annually handled, the business being conducted upon a scale of great magnitude, comprising wholesale orders and cargo lots. The activity and enterprise of Mr. Thedford need not be recounted here since his merit is fully recognized in the community, and New York may well he congratulated on the possession of such an energetic business man as he is known to be. |
