TEXT	The coal trade forms a very important item in the list of the industries of this city, and prominent among the coal merchants of Harlem Mr. Robert J. Williams may be considered one of the most popular. He was engaged for many years in the transport of this article, and in 1883 established this business. Mr. Williams handles large quantities of the most famous qualities, such as Scranton, Lehigh, Lackawanna, and Red Ash. He sells by the single ton or cargo and supplies families, dealers, factories and furnaces at the lowest rates. Full weight and best quality are the standard by which his business is transacted, hence an extensive and nourishing trade is the result. With the best facilities in the purchase of his stock, superior advantages in receiving the same, and a thorough knowledge of what constitutes good coal, consumers will find it mutually advantageous to patronize this gentleman. The yard is of ample dimensions, well provided with shedding and other appliances. Mr. Williams is a native of Hamburg, Germany, and arrived in this country in 1842. He has always identified himself with any measure which has been advanced for the benefit and welfare of his fellow-citizens.
