C E. Weymouth Company
Popular Dry Goods House in Peabody Square Ashmont, Dorchester.
The dry goods establishment of the C. E. Weymouth Company, in Peabody Square, Ashmont, Dorchester, was founded eighteen years ago by Miss C. (Clara) E. Weymouth, who conducted it successfully until her death, two years ago. The business is now conducted by Daniel L. Weymouth, a brother of Miss Weymouth, under the name of the C. E. Weymouth Company. The store is commodious in its proportions and the women of the district find it an ideal place in which to do their shop.
The establishment is stocked with a generous selection of goods, including dry goods, fancy goods, notions, Milan wares, hosiery, ribbons, laces, etc., in great variety and of excellent quality. The department devoted to furnishing goods for men and women, is one of the most complete of its kind in Dorchester and is liberally patronized by men and women of fashion and good taste.
Mr. Weymouth, the owner of the business and president of the company, was born at Field’s Corner, Dorchester. He served in the Union army in the Civil war and is a past commander of Benjamin Stone, Jr., post No. 68, G. A. R. Miss Frances C. Weymouth is the manager of the store, and Frank M. Weymouth is the treasurer. One of the most useful features of the establishment is its circulating library, consisting of 300 volumes of fiction, which can be taken from the store by patrons at a nominal charge for reading at home.
Note: The Boston Directory for 1900 places the store at 565 Talbot Avenue.
