"This is the largest grocery and market in this section, and was established fifteen years ago. The store is 100 feet deep or more and the basement and floor above are used. The stock is always full and complete and embraces a full line of choice groceries, canned goods, jellies and condiments, fruit and vegetables. The finest teas and coffees, the best cuts of Beef, Lamb, Pork, Poultry and Fish. A very large cottage trade from West Chop, is catered to, and two auto delivery wagons kept busy.
