        CHARLES E. TAYLOR.  Supply and demand control business development
in a large measure. Whenever the supply of any article is less than the
demand for it, naturally it becomes more difficult to secure an adequate
amount and some means must be devised to make up the shortage. The period
of warfare, with the withdrawal of so many able-bodied men for the army and
for allied industries, caused a falling off in building, and this shortage
was not confined to any one community, or country, for that matter, but
existed all over the civilized world. In fact, this housing shortage has
not yet been overcome, and therefore the abilities of some of the most
energetic men of the age have been called into play to remedy the
conditions, and so arrange as to throw open to tenants quarters in which
they may live and rear their families. Therefore, in every community are to
be found a number of alert and progressive men whose attention is given to
real-estate matters. One of these representative men at Youngstown is
Charles E. Taylor, who has built up an excellent business and established
his reputation for fair dealing and honorable practices.
        Charles E. Taylor was born in Hampshire County, West Virginia, May
26, 1887, a son of J.W. and Catherine (Shoemaker) Taylor, farming people.
Growing up in a rural neighborhood, Charles E. Taylor alternated attendance
at the district schools with farm work until he reached his majority, at
which time he began farming for himself. In 1914 he abandoned agriculture
for real estate, and coming to Youngstown, opened his present line of
business, and has since then been operating in real estate.
        In 1916, Mr. Taylor was married to Miss Florence Wheeland, born at
Youngstown, and they have one daughter, Helen. Mr. Taylor is independent in
his political belief. Both he and his wife have many friends at Youngstown
and in Mahoning county, by whom they are held in the highest esteem.
