The company was celebrating its 46th year in business and the gradual recovery from the Depression. The company began business in 1889 as a horse drawn moving company for any kind of commodities. By 1904, Griffin Fuel had moved to this location and focused in on the fuel business. In 1935, they delivered and sold fuel in the forms of oil, coal, wood and sawdust. (T. Times 12/10/1935, pg. 5)
