- Southold Village Liquors Becomes BOGEY's -

By DANNY McCARTHY

-- Such-definite-THREE-CHEERS ... SALUTE ... & BRAVO - to Greenport resident MICHAEL ROSE - who has his NEW business carrying the name of BOGEY's. - It's a spirit-filled wine-&-liquor store "write"-on the Southold Village Main Road. - Mike's business was FORMERLY the Southold Liquor Store. -

I so-definitely took note while “searching” online with the Suffolk Historic Newspapers website that during the late 1960s, there were repetitive advertisements within various editions of The Long Island Mattituck-Traveler Watchman featuring Southold Liquor Store. …

The Long Island Traveler-Mattituck Watchman dated March 22, 1969:
“FOR YOUR CONVENIENT SHOPPING
THE VILLAGE LIQUOR STORE Opp. BOHACK’S
FEATURING
COMPLETE SELECTION
OF THE FINEST IN
IMPORTED & DOMESTIC
WINES & LIQUORS

The Long Island Traveler-Mattituck Watchman dated December 25, 1969:
“A VERY
MERRY CHRISTMAS
TO ALL OUR FRIENDS
AND PATRONS
From Lorraine De Albertis
VILLAGE LIQUOR STORE
Main Road, Southold”
The Long Island Traveler-Mattituck Watchman dated March 5, 1970 had some thing{s} completely different:
AD{s} appeared in that issue:
“A SINCERE “THANK YOU” TO OUR
MANY PATRONS AND FRIENDS AT
THE SOUTHOLD LIQUOR STORE OVER

PLEASURE TO SERVE YOU. …
… PICTURE US NOW READY TO SERVE YOU AT THE SOUTHOLD LIQUOR STORE

NEW OWNERS

Then within that March 5,1970 issue was the entry of The Long Island Traveler-Mattituck Watchman dated August 8, 1974:
“BRIDAL FASHION SHOW PLANNED
Florence LaFreniere, of the Sally Wallace Bridal Shop on Southold’s North Road, has chosen this Sunday, August 11, to stage the first bridal fashion show ever to be held on the North Fork. …

The Long Island Traveler-Mattituck Watchman dated August 15, 1974:
“Clamming For Cancer
Dr. Arline Schmeer captivated her audience at the American Legion, Southold, July 29 when she described her research {on} cancer. About 60 people heard the Clam Sister tell of her search for a cancer cure which led her to Long Island with its plentiful supply of the Mercenaria Clam.
Amazingly enough, inflation is not quite as apparent In her research as it is in every other area of the economy. Although last summer a mere teaspoon of Mercenene cost $3,000, Sister Arline estimates that it only costs between $300 - $400 this year.
This astonishing fact, however, does not negate the need for further financial assistance. This need has been readily understood by many people all over the country. The Veteran’s Association is allowing her to use the facilities at Northport Hospital. On the local level, a group of volunteers is canvassing the town with chances on a raffle to be held on September 15. On the local level, a group of volunteers is canvassing the town for chances on a raffle to be held on September 14th.

“THANKSGIVING A Time for Sincere Thanks
That’s what the holiday season means
to us all. We send greetings to all
of our friends on this happy day.

VILLAGE LIQUOR STORE
MAIN ROAD, SOUTHOLD”
Maggie Conway & her sister-in-law Chris Conway purchased Southold Village Liquors from the DeAlbertises over thirty years ago – and the business had been maintained.
The current situation with Southold Village Liquors is that the store was being updated -&- remodeled by Greenport resident Michael Rose. He now has his "BOGEY's BOTTLED GOODS FOR GOOD PEOPLE" within the {former} Southold Village Liquors.
