Yawkey-Crowley Lumber Co

J Weber & Son Lumber Co

210 S Water

Became The Market

1905

01 04 The Yawkey-Crowley Lumber Co. have taken charge of the lumber business they recently purchased of the J. Weber & Son Co. of this city, and are now ready to supply the public at their yard in Water street with everything in the lumber and building line.

They mean to keep up the high reputation of this yard and if possible to improve the premises so that anyone wanting lumber in Watertown and surrounding country will find it to their advantage to patronize them. They have decided not to go into the building business, but will simply carry on a lumber yard, and handle everything in the lumber line usually carried in that line of business.

The yard in this city will be under the personal management of H. F. Voeger, one of the best lumber men in the state.

The new proprietors come to Watertown highly recommended and our people will find them well worthy of their confidence and patronage. WDT
