The Dorchester Beacon, October 26, 1907
Max Blumenthall
Clothier, hatter and shoe dealer, Nos. 1874-6-8 Dorchester Avenue, Dorchester
Max Bllumenthall, the reliable clothier, hatter, shoe dealer and furnishing goods man, established his well-known and popular store at Nos. 1374-60-8 Dorchester Avenue, Dorchester, about a quarter of a century ago, and the place has long been looked upon as one the historic landmarks of the locality. Everybody in Dorchester is familiar with the establishment, and nearly everybody is reckoned among the long list of regular customers of the genial proprietor. Mr. Blumenthall’s premises occupy the ground floor of the building and are 40 by 50 feet in dimensions, thus making the store the largest of its kind in the Dorchester district. Mr. Blumenthall carries a large and singularly complete stock of the most fashionable ready-to-wear clothing—hats in all of the newest shades and shapes, the latest patterns and designs in men’s and women’s furnishing goods, and stylish makes of boots, shoes and rubbers. Every article in the store is guaranteed to be the best in material, workmanship and fashion which can be produced by the master makers of the world, and the patrons of the establishment include the leaders of society and fashion in this community. If they buy an article at Blumenthall’s, they know it is right in every particular. The prices which rule here are moderate in the extreme and are not augmented because of the high reputation of the store and the exclusive character of the goods it sells.
Mr. Blumenthall has lived in Dorchester for many years and is looked upon as one of its most progressive and public-spirited citizens. He is still in the prime of life.
