| TEXT | In a comprehensive review of the important commercial and manufacturing advantages of New York the extensive business conducted by Mr. Henry B. Turner, in handling coal, may well claim a brief portion of our space. This business was originally established in 1860 by Pennsylvania Coal Company, and successfully conducted by it till 1877, when the present proprietor succeeded to the retail department in New York City. Mr. Turner is one of the most extensive dealers of coal in New York, and fills orders by cargo or carload at wholesale prices, shipments being made direct from the mines to consumers without paying tribute to any intermediate parties, while his facilities for supplying the retail trade by the ton embrace the possession of several yards located in different parts of the city. The yard foot of 23rd Street is upwards of two acres in area, and is well equipped with every facility and appliance for the handling of coal, possessing a water frontage of two hundred and thirty feet. The natural as well as the acquired resources of the house are unsurpassed by those of any of its contemporaries, and these advantages are promptly shared with customers. Over eighty thousand tons of coal are disposed of annually, and the trade is constantly increasing in volume, employment being provided for forty experienced workmen. Ample shedding is supplied for the storage of coal, which is always thoroughly cleaned and free from slate; it is of the best quality from the Lehigh, Scranton and Lackawanna regions, and is sold at the lowest market rates. Mr. Turner was originally superintendent of the Pennsylvania Coal Company, and is greatly esteemed in commercial life for his sterling probity and strict integrity. In all his operations and transactions he will be found prompt, liberal and enterprising, never unsolicitous for the benefit of his patrons, and always prepared to offer advantages in keeping with such a reputation. |
