In 1865, he began merchandising for himself, in the town of Clay City, and has ever since been engaged in business at this point. Starting first in the saloon business with Thomas Viskniski, he has, by hie indomitable push and energy, kept on, until now, in connection with Jabez Cogan, owns the largest general store in the city.
