eleven, he entered the stor. of Grab & Ketch

in as n clerk until he reached the age OF ff-
teen years, and accumulated the sum of one
hundred and FIVE dollars and thirty two cents.
Investing this amount in potatoes and dried
pumpkins he set sail in a Stonington sloop
for New York and with his entire posses
sions landed at Fulton Market in the year
1917.
Since that time he has passed through
the several professions of vegetable purveyor,

dent and solid man, and is now considered
magnate and millionaire. He was never
