Lovell & Smith, dealers in groceries, queensware, etc. These gentlemen are among the live, enterprising merchants of Astoria. They associated themselves together only a year ago, yet have built up a large trade. The firm is successor to Argo & Lovell, who purchased the present property three years ago. In addition to the above line Messrs. Lovell & Smith are the only ice dealers in Astoria. Last year they stored 90 tons of fine ice. They intend to make this line a specialty and supply Astoria and surrounding country. As a firm they deserve the patronage of the people
