E. M. Hurtin

Wholesale and Retail Dealer in Groceries, Provisions, Fruits, Etc., and General Commission Dealer, No. 63 North Street, Middletown, N.Y. – The grocery and provision establishment carried on by Mr. E. M. Hurtin, at No. 63 North Street, is one of the most complete of its kind to be found in Middletown, and is a deserved favorite among the purchasing public. The enterprise was inaugurated some twenty-five years ago, by Hallock & Butholf, and has been controlled by various parties since that date, the present proprietor having taken sole control since 1891. He is a native of Scotchtown, and gives close personal attention to the business and as three assistants are employed it is not surprising that the extensive wholesale and retail business carried on should be promptly and accurately handled. Mr. Hurtin deals in groceries of all kinds, provisions and fruits, etc., and is a general commission dealer, and is in a position to supply these commodities in any desired quantity, and to quote positively bottom rates to both wholesale and retail buyers. The premises occupied comprise one floor and basement, 100 x 20 feet in dimensions, and afford ample opportunity for the carrying of a large and complete stock, comprising all the goods named together with others of minor importance, while all articles sold are guaranteed to prove strictly as represented.
