Dealer In Up-tO-date Mems Furnishings
Boots and shoes.
A review of the business interests of the
Memphremagog village would not be COM
pete without some mention of the tidy mems
furnishings and boot and shoe store of w. j..
Avery in the Drew block between the New
port house and the depot. Mr.. Avery is also
a railroad and steam boat ticket broker. He
established his present business in June, 1889,
in the Moulton block and removed to the
present site December ii, 1898. Here he en-
lows a salesroom of ample dimensions and has
it well stocked with everything indicated by
the heading-the prettiest, best and nobbest
of mems furnishings and the best and latest
gentlemen's shoes manufactured in the United
States. You will notice the show window
when you pass, and will doubtless be per-
suaded to enter. You will not lose anything
by it. Mr.. Avery has built up a splendid rep
utation for treating people right. He can fur
nish reduced railroad and steamboat tickets at
short notice which should be remembered
when taking trip. Mr.. Avery is a native of
New Hampshire-OEford-b has been in
Newport six years. He was railroad man
rs years, working up from news agent to con-
ductor. He was u drawing-room-car con-
Luctor between Montreal and Boston four
years and hence is well known by all the rail
road boys. Since leaving the road Mr.. Avery
has prospered and has done it by the principles
which anywhere bring success.
