The Dorchester Beacon, October 26, 1907
Watch and clock maker and jeweler at 1854A Dorchester Avenue, Ashmont
“The more correct your time is, the more valuable it is,” says S. H. Markowitz, the well-known watchmaker at No. 1854A Dorchester Avenue, corner of Wrentham Street, Ashmont, in a circular prepared for general distribution, and no one has ventured to dispute the truth of his assertion. His store was established four years ago by F. Harvey, Mr. Markowitz succeeding to the business in June 1907. The establishment is spacious and contains a general line of watches, clocks and jewelry. A specialty is made of the repairing of fine watches and clocks, and this work is done in the most careful and scientific manner, for Mr. Markowitz is an acknowledged expert at the business, having had a long experience, covering a period of a quarter of a century in Europe and this country. A year’s guarantee is given with every job done in the shop, and work is called for and delivered promptly. Watches are regulated free. The prices which rule there are exceedingly low.
Mr. Markowitz was born in Germany and learned his trade in his native land under skilled instruction. He proved to be an apt pupil, and soon became a master of the business himself. He has been a resident of Boston for the last nine years and is still in the prime of life. He is highly respected in the community.
