Pearson is the active manager of the concern. The premises now occupied are commodious and convenient and are well appointed and attractive. The store is fitted in oak and has a large refrigerator for meats and ice chests for fish and butter. The stock of goods on sale there is large and comprehensive in its character, consisting of choice teas, coffees and spices, butter, cheese, eggs, canned goods, flour, table delicacies, breakfast and luncheon dainties, milk, cream, fresh and salt meats, fresh, salt, smoked and pickled fish, fruits, vegetables, etc., through the whole line of staple and fancy table supplies.
