Why Not Now? 
Nowhere in the city, is there a store which is so thoroughly 
stocked with such a choice line of groceries and provisions, 
as you will find here, in our old “new” home.

line on Cape Ann, and we will spare no expense to maintain 
the lead which we now have. 
Our own cold storage plant, recently installed, serves to keep 
fresh, our entire stock of meats.
