THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTOne of New York's oldest-established and most active and enterprising lumber merchants is Mr. John McClave of Twenty-second Street and Eleventh Avenue. The business was founded in 1862 by Messrs. S. P. and J. McClave. In 1875 Mr. John McClave embarked in the business upon his own account, buying out his present yard, which since that date has been recognized as one of the best centres in which to find a full assortment of ail kinds of choice lumber. The yard is unusually central in location, and being 150 feet by 200 in dimensions affords accommodation for the fine stock always kept on hand by Mr. McClave. He deals in Canada and Michigan pine, black walnut, ash, cherry, white-wood, cypress, spruce, hemlock, yellow pine, etc., and bringing as he does vast practical experience to bear, and an unrivalled knowledge of the wants of the best class of city trade, he has built up a large and permanent patronage of a superior character requiring the services of forty men to handle. Mr. McClave is proprietor of one of the best-equipped planing-mills in the city, fitted up in modern style, the machinery being driven by a 150-horse-power engine, and in which all kinds of planing are done promptly and efficiently. Included in the premises are eight buildings used in the carrying on of the various branches of Mr. McClave's extensive business, and which is thoroughly well organized and in every way a standing source of credit to him His office, a neat brick structure, is located on Twenty-second Street. Some idea of the magnitude of his trade may be gathered when it is stated that he handles an average of fifteen million feet per annum, and has among his customers New York's leading cabinet-makers, carpenters, builders, etc. He possesses every facility for the prompt filling of all orders, and has direct telephone connection, being fully prepared to meet the wants of the community as regards any kind of lumber and of any required dimensions from quarter-inch stuff up to two-inch plank. Personally Mr. McClave, who is a native of this city, is a most popular business man and well merits the large degree of patronage he permanently commands, his concern being in every respect not only a source of credit to himself, but also to the great city in which he is permanently located.
