In New Location on Monday.
A. R. Jewett's Model Market Nearc
COMPLETION


Work on the building known for SO
many years as the Fairgrieves block,
has progressed to such an extent that
A. R. Jewett, who is associated with
j. G. Griffin in the ownership of this
real estate, is to establish his market
there on Monday next. The fittings
of Mr.. Jewett's handsome market
under Hotel Coburn are being moved
to their new quarters where they will
be arranged in the larger are to even
better advantage than formerly and
supplemented by other fixtures which
will be necessary to carry out some
plans already formulated for the de-
velopment of the business.
A line of fancy groceries is to be
added and for another important fea-
ture it may be stated that oysters will
be received in the shell and opened on
the premises, special facilities being
provided to open them as wanted for
general trade or to fill the order
placed by each individual customer if
desired
Altogether Mr.. Jewett will be much
better situated than ever before to
conduct a general market and pro-
vision business, and to realize his am
bition to have the best things and to
handle them in the best way.
Look for CLAIMS in the shell at the
Skowhegan Market, Fridays and Sat
urdays until further notice.
