Reed’s
Popular Dry Goods Store at No. 179 Washington Street, Dorchester
Reeds, the ever-busy dry goods store at No. 179 Washington Street, near the Mt. Bowdoin railroad station, Dorchester, was established 10 years ago by H. F. Reed. The establishment is 24 by 60 feet in dimensions and is amply spacious to admit of the most attractive arrangement and display of the large and varied stock of goods carried there at all times. the stock consists of a general line of dry and fancy goods, dress goods, notions, small wares, corsets, hosiery, laces, ribbons, men’s and women’s furnishing goods, shirt waists, underwear, gloves, etc., in a variety which is well nigh endless and too numerous to warrant recital here. This store is a favorite shopping place with the women n the community, for they know that they can get there the very article they want at the prices they wish to pay for it. Bargains can be found in this store every day in the week and critical housewives have learned that it is in the interest of genuine economy to patronize Reed’s, when they can procure it there.
Mr. Reed was born in Nova Scotia, Canada, and has been a resident of Boston for many years. He is affiliated with the Masonic fraternity. He is a merchant of preeminence and is looked upon as a public-spirited, patriotic man, alive to any movement or project which will tend to advance the material interests of Dorchester.
