Meat Markets
What is so interesting about this new business is that Marion hasn't had a butcher shop or meat market since 1926, a store that just sold fresh meat.
Here is a little history of early meat markets in Marion.
1881 - T. C. Williams was the town Butcher
1900 -Two butchers listed as having a store in Marion were J. W. Givens and
Thomas White
1924 – J. R. Sowders had a meat market on
Carlisle St. (on the corner next to the alley)
1926 Meat Markets – A. W. Jones, at his
location on Carlisle Street is conducting an up-to-date meat market.
Mr. Jones only recently came to Marion from Eddyville, where he was
editor of the Lyon County Herald. One section of his place of
business is occupied with a lunch stand, specializing in lunches for
school children.
Morris & Son Grocery
on Main St. (where City Drug Store was) had a meat market in their
grocery store.
