The Dorchester Beacon, October 26, 1907
W C. Marshall
Largely patronized bakery proprietor, 1833 Dorchester Avenue, Ashmont
One of the most popular of the establishments in Ashmont is that of W. C. Marshall, proprietor of the home bakery at No. 1833 Dorchester Avenue. Mr. Marshall opened his doors to the public in 1901 and by the excellence of his work and the superior quality of the goods sold, soon found his way into favor with the housewives of the neighborhood. His store is clean and tidy in appearance, never a suspicion of dirt or dust ever being seen there. The salesroom is attractive and the bakeshop is in the rear. This is equipped with all of the best known appliances and devices in that line of business and the product of his ovens is simply beyond the pale of adverse criticism. Everything he sells is of the home-made kind and is much appreciated by his patrons in the locality. He makes bread, pastry, cake, cookies, rolls, doughnuts, etc., in great variety and sells them at the most reasonable prices.
Mr. Marshall was born in Westboro, this state, in 1865. He has been connected with his trade for the last fifteen years and is a practical baker. He employs four skilled assistants, personally superintending their work. He is highly respected in the community in which he lives, not only as a business man of sterling integrity, but also as a private citizen of unblemished character.
