The Dorchester Beacon, October 26, 1907
Tessier Brothers
Registered Pharmacists, Savin Hill and Dorchester Avenues, Dorchester.
The name of Tessier Brothers is intimately associated with the retail drug trade in eastern Massachusetts and has been so for years. The firm is composed of Philip and Arthur Tessier and was organized a quarter of a century ago, when it established its store at No. 179 Harrison avenue, Boston. Seventeen years ago, it opened its fine store at Savin Hill and Dorchester avenues, Dorchester, and in 1902 opened a branch at Hough’s Neck, this state, thus operating three independent establishments at the present time. The Dorchester store, in which the people of this district are especially interested, is commodious and handsomely fitted up and a appointed.
The firm makes a specialty of the scientific compounding of doctors’ prescriptions, all of this important work being performed in the model laboratory provided, and sees to it that only the freshest and purest drugs and other ingredients ever find their way into these healing mixtures for the sick and feeble. The firm has the endorsement of the medical fraternity hereabouts for its efficiency in this department of its work. The three stores of the firm furnish employment to 10 people.
Both partners have lived in Boston many years. They are registered pharmacists and are members of the National Association of Retail Druggists and of the Knights of Columbus. Both of the brothers are exceedingly well liked in Dorchester, both as business men and socially. They are admitted to be masters of the science of pharmacy and have the highest standing as private citizens in the community.
Note: the Boston Directory for 1916 lists the pharmacy at 110 Savin Hill Avenue.
