A contracting company with that name figured as a victim in a 1920 story about alleged building trades shakedowns. See NYT 10/29/1920. In 1921, Fradus Contracting Co. again figured as a victim according to allegations by then Aldermanic President F. H. LaGuardia that the then Street Cleaning Commissioner John P. Leo had substituted another firm for Fradhaus which had been awarded a Rikers Island ash removal contract by the Board of Estimate. See NYT July 19, 1921 and NYT July 12, 1921. Evidently, the "Phoenix" was not involved in ash removal when this photo was taken. |
