In the late 1890's, John T. Cavanagh established a successful tailor shop on Main St.,
Boonville, NY, which he ran until the time of his death in 1935.
John T. Cavanagh, our popular merchant tailor, has moved into his new and commodious store on Main Street (Boonville). During the week his time has been largely employed in welcoming his friends and customers to his new place of business, and the general verdict is, that his is the finest store in town.

Tailor John T. Cavanagh recently took a long winter's ride into the town of Wilmurt; starting out from Prospect to the woods camp of the Trenton Falls Lumber Company, some miles beyond Wagner's where he measured and took orders for ten suits of his nicely made and well-fitted garments. Mr. Cavanagh is a successful tailor and as a result of his large out of town trade keeps several more hands than he would otherwise employ, thus causing his industry to contribute to the welfare of other business men in town.
