The Dorchester Beacon, October 26, 1907
Fred P. Jaques
Dealer in fine groceries, Dorchester Avenue and Ashmont Street
Fred P. Jaques occupies Nos. 1911-1913 in the avenue. His store is stocked with a generous selection of tine staple and fancy groceries, choice provisions, fresh meats, fresh fish, oysters and clams. No. 1913 Dorchester Avenue is devoted to the meat market and furnishes a notable illustration of what a fine meat market can look like, when properly appointed and neatly kept. Fresh fish are also sold here. The fixtures are painted pure white, while heavy slabs of white marble form the beds of the counters. The grocery department is fitted in hard wood and is equally as attractive and inviting. The Jaques store is considered the leading one of its kind in this part of the district. It gives employment to eight people and keeps four delivery wagons busy from morning until night in transporting goods ordered to the dwellings of its patrons.
Mr. .Jaques is a native of Tewksbury, Mass., and has been a resident of Boston since 1861. He is a member of the Odd Fellows and of the Free Masons.
