- Wm. HULL - Grain, Coal, &c., Centre St.
This extensive business was established by Hull & Davis in 1858, on Elm street, and conducted by them until 1877, at which time they were succeeded by the present proprietor, Mr. Wm. Hull, who is a son of Dr. Hull, of this place. The building, together with contents, was entirely destroyed by the great fire of May, 1880, but was re-established the same year in its present location. The building is a two-story frame, 30x40 feet, and contains a large stock of grain, and salt, and plaster. The coal yard is adjoining this building, and covers an area of 80x180 feet, and contains a large stock of both Bituminous and Anthracite Coal from the best mines in the State. This is the most extensive business of the kind in the town, the annual sales of both branches aggregating $216,000. Mr. Hull was born in Montour Connty, Penna., June 30th, 1846, and removed to this town in 1861. He enlisted on the side of his country during the late war, and fought in the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania Regiment. In 1869 he accepted a clerkship with Hull & Davis, which position he held until he succeeded them in business in 1877. He is a gentleman of ability, of which the business has given proof under his management.
