Hs climbed from one position to another until In his young manhood the door was open- ea to Digger things. He became powder salesman, a position to which he devoted 40 years of his life, working to the point that ho was sales executive of the firm. In this work, he traveled throughout Duzerne County almost countless tttnesr -wsw highly successful.
