J. D. Jones & Co.

J. D. Jones & Co. is located at 8 N.S. Road, specifically in the C-3/1 section of Gillander House. This is a very old building in a part of town that has a lot of history. The hallways are high and the stairs are made of old stone. We’ve been operating out of this office for a very long time. It feels a bit like stepping back in time when you walk in. We have tall wooden cabinets filled with files that go back years. We deal with industrial products, mostly things like packing and seals for big machinery. It’s a quiet office for the most part, except for the sound of the ceiling fans and the traffic outside on the busy street. We don’t have any modern glass partitions or bright lights. It’s just old desks and plenty of paper. Most of our work is done over the phone or through letters. We have some clients who have been with us for decades. They know our address by heart. Sometimes it gets very hot in the summer, and the old building stays a bit cooler than the street. We don't have a big team. It’s just a few of us who know the business inside out. We spend our days tracking shipments and making sure the supplies get to the factories on time. It isn't a fast-paced life, but it’s steady. We like the tradition of being in such a historic spot in the city.
