| TEXT | Among the various extensive and growing commercial industries of this city which exercise an important influence on our general trade, and bear the marks of continued increase and prosperity, none perhaps occupy a more useful and significant position than the ice trade. It would be impossible in this sketch to enumerate the industries that depend upon this article of commerce and which would be seriously crippled without it, to say noth ing of the comforts it gives to many homes in the crowded cities of our land during the heated season. Engaged in this department of business we find the Hudson River Ice Co., which since its inception has enjoyed a substan tial patronage. This company was organized eight years ago, and occupies the premises, consisting of a large brick building, seventy-five by one hundred feet, at the foot of 15th Street, N.R., as a general office and depot. They also have a depot at the foot of Morgan Street, and an office at No. 100 Hudson Street, Jersey City. Their ice houses are located on the banks of the Hudson, at Athens and Coxsackie, with a capacity of holding sixty thousand tons. These large buildings are admirably arranged, and fully equipped with every modern improvement for storing ice with wonderful rapidity. The present company was organized in 1882, with D. D. A Wortendyke as President, F. P. Gautien as Vice-President, S. McBurney Secretary and Treasurer, and A. M. Lewis Superintendent. This large business requires a large number of horses and wagons, and gives employment to over oue hundred men. The facilities of this company are such that they can supply hotels, shipping vaults, stores, families, etc., in such quantities as each desire, and at such rates as few of their competitors can afford. Conducting their business under such favorable auspices, and being, ready at all times to render their customers every possible advantage, we are safe in recommending this company to our interested readers, and saying that all orders receive prompt attention. This concern has under careful management had an uninterrupted era of prosperity, and the prospects before it in the future are of an equally promising character. It ranks in commercial circles as a company whose transactions are based upon the strictest principles of probity and honor. |
