Advertisement for A. Shuman's Clothing Bazaar in Roxbury, Massachusetts, citing Governor Andrew's appointment of the Thanksgiving Day holiday in Massachusetts: ... "Therefore I, A. Shuman, invite the people of this Commonwealth, and especially the people of Roxbury, without distinction of party, who intend to observe this day, already set apart as a day of Thanksgiving, after the high spirit and solemn manner of our fathers, to call first at my Clothing Bazaar, No. 116 Washington Street, and examine the best stock of clothing that can be found in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts."
