The Dorchester Beacon, October 26, 1907
Geo. N. Gibson
Owner of two high class groceries on Dorchester Avenue, Dorchester
As the owner of two high class grocery stores on Dorchester avenue, George N. Gibson is most favorably known in different parts of the district. One of these stores was opened at No. 554 Dorchester Avenue, 15 years ago. In 1901, Mr. Gibson opened another store at No. 1820 Dorchester Avenue, Ashmont, which is now his main store, the one at No. 554 being called a branch. Both of these establishments are models of their kind, are tastefully appointed and generously stocked with the best class of goods to be bought in the market. Each stock includes staple and fancy groceries, canned goods, teas. coffees, spices, butter, eggs, cheese, family flour, a general line of provisions, vegetables, fresh meats, fresh fish, oysters, clams, etc., too great in variety to require recital here. Mr. Gilson admits no inferior grade of article to his stock and guarantees the quality of everything he sells, so that his patrons have no misgiving in accepting his estimate of the worth of any particular commodity they may wish to purchase. Each store gives employment to six or seven persons, and four delivery wagons are made use of in each establishment. The prices which prevail are so moderate as to make it economy to trade at the Gibson groceries.
Mr. Gibson was born and educated in Boston. He is a member of the Boston Retail Grocers’ Association, of the Boston Wholesale Grocers’ Aassociation of the Masonic order and of the Odd Fellows.
