Hamilton Market
Famous for its fine groceries and choice provisions, 242 Bowdoin Street, Dorchester
Hamilton Maarket at No. 242 Bowdoin Street, Dorchester, has bees for a number of years for its fine line of groceries and choice provisions. It was established twelve years ago by J. (John) H. McGrady, Jr., its present proprietor, and has occupied its present location since 1900. The store is 30 by 60 feet in dimensions and is well appointed and inviting in appearance. The stock of goods is temptingly displayed and includes staple and fancy groceries, canned goods, provisions, fresh meats, fish, butter, eggs, cheese, tea, coffees, spices, table delicacies, jar goods, family flour and fruits and vegetables in their seasons. While the quality of every article which enters the composition of the Hamilton Market stock is superior and is guaranteed to be just as it is represented, the prices which prevail there are low and more than satisfactory to its customers. The establishment does a large and thriving business, giving employment to eight people and making use of three wagons in the delivery department. Orders transmitted by telephone receive prompt attention.

He is patriotic and public-spirited in a high degree and is fully alive to anything which makes for the betterment of his native place.
