grocer, of 101 East Main Street. The
stock carried is a large one and comprises
everything in the way of staple
and fancy groceries, hams, bacons and
other cured meats, mill feed and grain
while a speciality is made of country
produce, a large supply of this being
received fresh daily. Mr. Wilkins
has established a good trade and is
enlarging it rapidly. He makes it a
point to buy only the best quality of
goods and exercises every precaution
to prevent adulterated foods getting
into his stock. Mr. Wilkins was born
and reared in this city. He was educated
in the public schools, and
after completing the course entered
the grocery business as a clerk. A
year ago he decided to open an establishment
of his own, and the large
trade he now controls is one of the
best evidences of the success he has
attained.
