Boston & Middleboro Retail Clothiers

Another winter advertising trade card scene from the Boston & Middleboro Retail Clothiers which operated on South Main Street following 1889. While "Boston" was included in the company's original name in order to add a certain cachet to the apparel which it retailed, it would later be known simply as the Middleboro Clothing Company.
