| TEXT | It is hardly necessary to remark upon the advantages enjoyed by New York as a locality for the distribution of yellow pine lumber and timber. These advantages, natural and acquired, have tended to the promotion of transactions in this department of trade of the greatest magnitude, and to the establishment of numerous firms whose aggregate transactions are simply enormous. A leading house in this trade is that of Messrs. Eppinger & Russell, whose offices are located at No. 100 Water Street, and who established this business in 1865. The operations of the concern embrace the handling and manufacture of yellow pine, live oak, lumber for South America and West Indies, timber for ship-building, railroads and other purposes, cut to order. Cargoes and vessels are likewise furnished with promptness and despatch. They own and control seven mills, and ship their yellow pine from Jacksonville, King's Ferry-, and Fernandina. Florida; also Brunswick, Georgia. The facilities of this establishment for obtaining supplies direct from the forests in large quantities are unsurpassed by those of any other similar concern in this market, while the liberal and enterprising business policy of the firm commend it to all consumers and shippers of this great American staple. In addition to their extensive lumber trade, they are actively engaged in creosoting timber by an important process, their factory for this purpose being situated at the foot of 6th Street, Gowanus Canal, Brooklyn. The attention of all large consumers of timber is called to the indestructibility of the ereosoted article, which has been successfully used for the last forty years in England, France, India and Australia in the construction of railroads, dykes and other works where durability is required and economy sought for. The dead oil of coal tar used by the Eppinger & Russell Creosoting Company in the treatments of timber contains carbolic and cressylic acids, which were the only two substances nut of thirty-five examined by Dr. Calvert which perfectly prevented the" growth of fungus life, while it is an established fact that timber impregnated with dead oil of coal tar offers complete resistance to the ravages of the teredo, other insects, and wet and dry rot. Since the erection of their creosoting works at Brooklyn, which are furnished with three cylinders eighty-five feet in length and six feet in diameter, together with all the latest improvements in pumps, engines, tanks, etc., which have a capacity of treating thirty thousand feet per diem, they have been busily engaged in the preparation of all the timber and piles used in constructing the immense dykes built on the Raritan, Passaic and Shrewsbury Rivers, Manasquan Inlet and Canarsie Bay, under the immediate supervision of Generals Newton, Michler and Gillespie, the railroad stringers actually used in the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, large quantities of ties and timber, telegraph poles, etc., for South America. The individual members of this house are Messrs. I. Eppinger and J. K. Russell, who are held in the highest estimation in social and commercial circles for their strict integrity and probity, the former being a well known and popular member of the Produce Exchange. Mr. George S. Valentine is manager of the creosoting works, and is greatly respected by the community for his unswerving honor and probity, and has always been an ardent advocate of any measure which has been advanced for the benefit and welfare of his fellow citizens. Liberality and promptness have always characterized this firm, and those entering into business, relations with it will find their interests carefully protected and guarded. |
