The Dorchester Beacon, October 26, 1907
A J. Mahan
Dealer in butter, cheese, eggs, cream, etc., 1834 Dorchester Avenue, Ashmont
The creamery of A. J. Mahan at No. 1834 Dorchester Avenue, Ashmont, is recognized as one of the best examples of its kind in this part of the state and has, in fact, few worthy competitors anywhere. The store was established in 1905. Mr. Mahan sells butter, cheese, eggs, milk, cream, ice cream a specialty, choice teas and coffees, all of the highest order of excellence. The
butter in this store conies from the famous La Molle creamery, of East Hardwick, Vt., and presents the acme in the art of butter making. The eggs, in which Mr. Mahan takes pardonable pride, are the celebrated Concord hennery eggs, from the Brothers’ farm, Concord, this state. The same high qualities which make the butter and renowned apply also to the milk and cream sold in the establishment, for nothing in the form of milk and cream could be richer or sweeter than that which is kept in the Mahan store, as is admitted, even by its business competitors. The store is open on Sundays from 7 to 10 a.m.
Mr. Mahan was born in New Brunswick, Canada, and has made his borne in Boston for the last fourteen years. The patronage of the store comes from the homes of the most exclusive people in Dorchester, who appreciate the high quality and healthful characteristics of the farm products which Mr. Mahan provides for their benefit. Mr. Mahan is a popular young man and is highly respected and esteemed both for his business integrity and acumen and for his amiable social qualifications.
