James H. Wood
Dealer in Fresh, Salt and Other Fish, 955 Dorchester Avenue, Dorchester.
A model fish market is that of James H. Wood, at No.. 955 Dorchester Avenue, Dorchester. It was established ten years ago by Mr. Wood and has occupied its present location for the last three years, having removed from its original premises. The store is spacious and neat and clean, and possesses every attribute of a first-class establishment of its character. Mr. Wood is able to provide for his patrons one of the finest and largest stocks of fish of all kinds to be found in the entire Dorchester district, including fresh, salt, smoked and pickled varieties: clams, oysters and lobsters. He also keeps canned goods. and fruits and vegetables in their seasons. His facilities for procuring his stock are superior, and he never fails to get the best which the market affords. Large ice boxes serve to keep the fresh fish he sells in the finest condition and nothing in the least degree tainted by age or improper care is ever tolerated in his store for a moment.
Mr. Wood was born, educated and reared it in Boston. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus and is active in that order. He is recognized as a business man of superior attainments and of strict integrity and honor in all of his dealings and is highly esteemed as a private citizen for his amiable qualities of mind and manner. In short, Mr. Wood is one of the most popular men in the community. He is now a man in middle life.
