DANIELsON

 One of Danielson's oldest established
 business enterprises is to be trans ferred within a few days from Mrs. H.
 $. Dove to her son, John M. Dove, who
 has been associated with his mother since soon after he returned from i, overseas duty with the famous Yankee. division. to enlist in which he gave up | his studies at Brown university.
 1 The business that is to come into MT. Doves control is locally historic. Its beginnings were in a humble way, | back in 1854. when Amasa Dowes pro- 1 prietor of a jewelry business which he founded and great-grandfather of the young man who is now coming into proprietorship, gave counter room to Marshall P. Dove. grandfather of the
 present John M. Dove, for the sale of stationery.
 l The little business enjoyed health
 full growth and in 1880 had become sui ficiently well established to warrant the opening of new and separate tstore in what is now known as the 1 Dove building. on Main street. Books, newspapers, periodicals. school sup plies and kindred lines were added
 and the expanded business continued
 to prosper.
 passed since the business was trans | ferred to it's new location practically 1 every contemporary business firm has
 passed out of existence.
 M. P. Dove continued as sole pro- prietor of the business from 1860 to
 1883, when the firm name was changed to M. P. Dove & Sons. In 1887 MT. Dove. having received an appointment as postmaster, sold his interest in the business to his sons and they continued to conduct it until 1S9s.when MT. Dowes eldest son.. John M. Dove. became the
 sole proprietor and continued in the business until his death, in 1868 Since
 that time Mrs. S. H. Dove, wife of
 John M. Dove. has successfully con- tinued it, and in turn now relinquishes
 the proprietorship to her son, John M , Dove. Back in the early sos Danielson's
 first telephone exchange was estab- Ihshed in room in the rear of the Dove store. and this remained the
 central station for the Danielson di-
 vision during all of the early days ot telephone development and up to 1888 i when the telephone company erected [ it's present building at the corner o1 Mechanic and Academy streets.
