B. Adler, an extensive produce dealer of Clinton, Missouri, has been identified 
with the business interests of Clinton and Henry County for a number of years. 
Mr. Adler is a native of Germany, born in 1855, a son of Samuel and Regina Adler, 
both of whom are now deceased. Mr. Adler came to America in 1872 and first 
located at Charleston, South Carolina. Eight years later he went to Jacksonport, 
Arkansas. He remained there until 1881, when he came to Clinton, Missouri. He 
obtained employment here with a Mr. Hirst, who was engaged in the produce 
business, and a year later engaged in the huckstering business for himself, 
dealing in eggs, produce and hides. He was an absolute stranger to Clinton when 
he came here and really it was not his original intention to remain here when he 
stopped. He intended going to Iowa. Mr. Adler opened his first produce store in 
Clinton on the northwest corner of the public square and since that time has done 
business at different locations here and has been at his present location, 126 
North Main street, about twelve years. He owns this building, besides 
considerable other business and residence property in Clinton. He is probably the 
most extensive produce dealer in Clinton, and also deals in rubber, metal and 
other kindred products. Mr. Adler was married December 15, 1884, with Miss 
Julia Kohner of Meridian, Mississippi, a daughter of Doctor Kohner. To Mr. and Mrs. 
Adler have been born two children: W. S., a member of the firm of B. Adler & 
Company, and Regina, a teacher in the public schools of Clinton. Mr. Adler is a 
liberal, enterprising citizen and has the best interests of his city and county at 
heart. He is a liberal contributor to all patriotic causes and a staunch supporter 
of every movement for the up-building of Clinton and Henry County. He is one of 
the substantial citizens of this County.
