T. ABRAMS & Son Grocers - 1897 - Putnam

“What our merchants say” – In our dry goods department trade is dull owing to the interim between two seasons, taking this fact into consideration we are doing a splendid business.  In grocers business is much better than at any time for a year past – we were busy every day week before last and busier every day this week.  We have been buying heavily and our observation is that everyone else has been doing the same.   ~~~transcribed by kbz
