He began industrial life in a shoe shop at Haverhill, Mass., where he worked for a number of years.

This concern has now attained large proportions, giving employment to 150 hands. The factory is of modern construction and is thoroughly up to date in its equipment, containing the most improved machinery, and turning out a high-class product, which finds a ready and profitable market.
