Dudrow & Davis.

When the above business was started
in 1880 there was no flourish of trumpets,
no presumptous claims of superiority
over existing establishments. but just a
quiet determination to secure and de.
serve d legitimate share of the business
which they proposed to transact on
liberal and progressive principles. How
judiclous that policy has been is born
out by their record. Their premises are
located near the depot of Santa F'e Rail
road, and here they conduct an extensive
business in coal, selling over 500 car
loads per annum. Their speciality is
hard and soft Cerrillos coal. In their
lumber yards, which are the only ones in
Santa Fe, and the largest in the terri
tory, they have a full stock of rough and
dressed lumber, doors, sashes, blinds and
mouldings. This firm also conducts a
large transfer business, running light
wagons for the convenience of travellers
with baggage, and trucks for the freight
and delivery of the principal merchants
of Santa Fe.
This business was originally founded
in 1880 by Mr.. c. w. Dudrow. This
gentleman carried it on alone most sue
cessfully until $685. when he was joined
by Mr.. Davis under the present name.
Mr.. Dudrow is native of Maryland and
has been resident of New Mexico for
twenty-five years. He was in the en-
ploy of Messrs. Barlow & Sanderson, the
express agents for many years, but left
them to start for himself He is an
energetic public spirited gentleman who
has ever been active in the advancement
of the public interests. That our citi-
zens have recognized his efforts is evil
denced by the fact that he has been
elected for three terms to the board of
county commissioners, of which he is
now chairman.
Mr.. Davis came to New Mexico from
Missouri, three years ago, and at once
became actively acquainted with the
firms business. Although only a short
time here he has made many friends and
