Description
Black and white photograph of Kuite Market (Economy Market). The 1897-98 City Directory lists the store at 12 W 8th St., with Jacob Kuite Jr as prop. In that City Directory there is an ad for the store that states, "It's Cold as Ice in the Refrigerator and we keep all our stock inside in consequence; but if you don't see what you want ask for it. You won't ask for anything-be it juicy steaks, luscious chops, prime roasts, fresh poultry, --- or----that we can't produce and cut up for the most fastidious housekeeper, J. Kuite, Jr., No 12 W 8th St." There is a black and white sketch of a man in a long apron walking through a door holding up what looks like a cut of meat. The ad is copywrighted 1897.
