A. L. Goodenow,
Manufacturer of Furnaces and Dealer in Stoves, 209 Genesee Street.

The name of Goodenow is intimately associated with the manufacture of furnaces in this city, and Mr. A. L. Goodenow is one of the best known furnace manufacturers in the State. He has been connected as part owner and partner of six patent furnaces and with the manufacture of very many of the furnaces made in this city. He was one of the firm of the Palace King Furnace Company, the Goodenow Furnace Company, and several other organizations, and he is now about to enter upon the manufacture of another furnace of his own invention, which will embody valuable improvements over those of older construction.

The premises occupied comprise a store in addition to two floors above used for storage. Here he carries a full and complete stock of furnaces, stoves, ranges and house furnishing goods, including the very best appliances of this nature made, and in addition to a large retail trade, transacts extensive jobbing operations. A specialty is made of parlor stoves of the latest makes in the country, in large assortment, and which, in fact, need not yield the palm of superiority to any produced.

In every department of his business his facilities are of the best, and the trade and consumers of these appliances will find that he has inducements to offer which only with difficulty can be duplicated elsewhere. His reputation in his particular branch of trade is so well known as to be beyond our criticism, and he has certainly done as much to enhance the reputation of the city in this regard as any other single individual in the community.
