Wednesday, January 17, 2007 page 2 by Mary Jo McTammany titled "In late
1800s, Green Cove was busy":
On Walnut Street adjacent to the post office, M.J. Canova was the
purveyor of patent medicines, a variety of cigars and tobacco accessories
and newspapers from around the country, which arrived at the town dock
each morning with the mail. Canova, a recent graduate of Philadelphia's
Jefferson Medical College, examined and counseled patients in his
adjoining office. Young and old alike patronized the store to enjoy the
soda fountain, and the establishment was a popular gathering place.
