THE DOVER BROS. GROCERY
ESTABLISHED so YEARS ACC

The Dover Bros. grocery has been
an established firm here for SO
years. 1t was established by Messrs.
John W. Dover and Fred Dover, the
latter now deceased. While Fred
Dover was member of the firm,
John Dover was more closely asso-
ciated with it, and he has been on
the job practically every day so to
speak for a half century. Other
firms in the twin cities have been in
existence longer, but we doubt If
any one has been under the same in
dividual manager longer. When
John Dover entered the grocery
business, it was with the late Chas.
Carnes. Later he was with the late
Sylvester Roberts, in the room now
occupied by the Archer grocery. But
Mr.. Roberts wanting to go into busi-
ness for himself, the Dover broth
ers erected the present building on
a lot owned by the late Worley Ad-
ans, and they were to pay for it's
construction in rent.
Mr. Dover recalls many changes
in the grocery business from what
| it was years ago when farmers
would come to town with wagon
/ loads of all sorts of produce from
the farm, and trade it for a barrel
of salt and enough groceries to last
them all through the winter months.
In fact in those days Dover's gro
Gerry was pretty much of an exchange
store--and when some farmers would
bring in their produce and did not
want to deal it all out the same day,
they would take a due-bill and trade
| it out at some future time
The writer recalls, when living in
the country, that the Dover Bros.
grocery seemed to have several ad-
vantages over other firms-one was
that Mr. Dover was a natural born
grocery man; another was the high
grade groceries they dealt in, and
| third was that they had more and
superior hitching racks, for horses.
! We hope that Mr.. Dover may con-
| tinue in his place of business and
/ to greet his customers for many
! years to come.
