The Dorchester Beacon, October 26, 1907
Elliot G. Gerald
Watchmaker, 1625 Blue Hill Avenue, Mattapan—telephone 124-3 Milton
An establishment much needed in Mattapan until recently, when Mr. Gerald opened his store here in April of this year, was that of a watch and clock maker, so that his coming to Mattapan really “filled a long-felt want.”
He is anl expert and practical watch maker and has already secured a good trade in this line, especially in the branch of the repairing of hall anti chime clocks, and French and other mantel clocks, to which he gives particular attention. A feature of the store which is a most useful one is the repairing of articles of jewelry, and it is also one much appreciated by the ladies of the district.
Mr. Gerald is a native of Milton. He is a young man, with both technical skill and business push, and will no doubt soon build up a large and lucrative practice here in Mattapan.
