D M. Hoeffecker
Plumber and sanitary engineer, 107 Clifton Street, Roxbury
Few, if, indeed, any representative of the plumbing trade in the whole city of Boston ranks higher in point of skill at his calling than does D. M. Hoeffecker, the plumber and sanitary engineer of No. 107 Clifton street, opposite the Dudley street terminal, Roxbury. His business was established in 1803 by the firm of A. & D. M. Hoeffecker, at its present location, the concern falling into the sole ownership of D. M. Hoeffecker in 191905. Both the office and shop are well appointed and commodious, the shop being equipped with all of the most up-to-date mechanical appliances and devices known to the modern plumbing trade and also contains a large stock of plumbers supplies for immediate or future use. Mr. Hoeffecker’s duties frequently call him to points within a radius of fifteen miles of Roxbury, so widespread is his reputation for skill and fidelity in all that he undertakes to do. He employs a force of skilled mechanics amd does both new and job work. He uses the best of materials and furnishes the best of workmanship, at the shortest notice and the lowest terms. He makes estimates on proposed contracts and acts as appraiser on plumbing in old or new buildings. In other words, Mr. Hoeffecker is an expert of the highest order of attainments in his department of industry. He was born in the state of Maryland and has lived in Boston since 1889. He is regarded not only as one of the most skilful plumbers in Greater Boston, but as one of the leading businessmen in his locality and as a man without reproach, either in mercantile or social circles.
