SWEENEY Brothers

Quarriers, Manufacturers, Wholesale and Retail Dealers in North River Bluestone
corner of Bedford and Flushing Avenues.-

The supply of stone is an important branch of the building trade, and in this 
department Messrs. Sweeney Brothers, through established only a short time, 
have built up a large and brisk business. 

The firm consists of Messrs. B. J. and Peter B. Sweeney, both of whom are natives 
of Kingston, N. Y. 

On the corner of Bedford and Flushing avenues the firm have a yard 200x200 feet 
in dimensions, and a neat office building 25x25 feet in dimensions, and on East 
New York Avenue, East New York, L. I., another yard. In both places the proprietors 
carry immense stocks of bluestone, both rough and dressed. From thirty-five to 
fifty hands are employed in stone cutting, etc., and the trade of the concern 
is of both a wholesale and retail character. The facilities of the concern are 
such as to enable them to promptly fill all orders for curbing, Guttering, 
crosswalks, sidewalks, sills, lintels, and all kinds of trimmings for buildings. 

The members of the firm are business men of long experience, and the advantages 
of such an establishment as theirs to a community cannot be overestimated, and 
our readers will find it to their interests to enter into business relations 
with the firm, whose standing and reputation may be regarded as a guaranty of 
the highest character for the prompt and satisfactory fulfillment of all orders.
