ELMER E. HENRY. The trade circles of Joliet and vicinity recognize in Mr. 
Henry one of its most promising young business men. He is principally 
interested in the glass and queensware trade, in which he has had a ripe 
experience, and is meeting with unqualified success. Eor the past three years 
he has been proprietor of the most elegant establishment of this kind to be 
found in Northern Illinois. His straightforward methods of doing business, his 
genial disposition and his courteous treatment of all with whom he comes in 
contact, is a matter that is often made the subject of remark. His 
establishment is prominently located on Chicago Street, and he carries a 
$10,000 stock of goods, from which during the year 1889 he effected sales to 
the amount of $30,000. A native of Hunterdon County, N. J., our subject was 
born July 9, 1862, in the village of White House, to William E. and Susan C. 
Henry, now living in Joliet. When but a small child, Mr. Henry was brought by 
his parents to Joliet, and in this city received his education. He commenced 
his business career at an early age, and is an apt illustration of the 
maxim "that a good business well stuck to is sure to win." He served an 
apprenticeship of ten years as a clerk before embarking in business on his own 
account, and was thus equipped with a thorough experience, avoiding the 
mistake which so many make of attempting to do that of which they know 
nothing. Mr. Henry is unmarried.
