New York: A. F. Parsons Publishing Co., 1892 p. 145: "PECK & BLACK, Commission Merchants in Hay, Grain and Barley Sprouts, Nos. 36 to 40 South Water Street. -- This prosperous business was established by Mr. John W. Davis in 1852, and in 1887 the present proprietors succeeded to the control and have since conducted the business with gratifying success. The premises occupied comprise a building 35 x 100 feet in dimensions, three floors of which are utilized for the business. With special facilities for the transaction of a large business, including the receipt of goods direct from the producers, and with a thorough knowledge of the trade, the firm is enabled to offer inducements to dealers and large consumers which are at least equal to those obtainable from any other quarter. Large consignments of hay and straw are received and quickly disposed of, prompt returns being made in all cases. The trade extends throughout Rhode Island and into Massachusetts and Eastern Connecticut. The members of the firm, Messrs. John D. Peck and Wm. A. Black, are both natives of Massachusetts; the former has been a resident of this city twelve years and the latter seventeen years." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Hurd Johnston, RI USA beth@the-hurds.com http://www.the-hurds.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ==== RIGENWEB Mailing List ==== The RI Archives http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ri/rifiles.htm RIGenWeb Archives Search http://www.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/ri/risearch.html --------------AEAC771575B3E395B05BF702--
