A Busy Camden Business Man.

We recently had the pleasure of a
call upon Mr.. William GrinneIl of Cam
den at his place Of business near the
steamboat landing, and found one of
the most stirring, active spots from an
equine point of view that we have visit
ed for many 4 day. Mr.. Grinnell has
long been known in Knox county and
vicinity as the leading horseman in that
section He has owned a great many
good ones, some fast ones, and probably
handled more horses, carriages and har-
nesses in the run of a year than any five
establishments in Knox county His
acquaintance through that section is
very large and some idea of his stand
ing with his customers can be gained by
standing in his office most any day and
see him sell horses and carriages, wholly
on description by telephone. We asked
him how he did it successfully and his
reply was that if he knew his customer
he could nine times ont of ten tell what
his customer wanted better than he
could himself, and the customer could
better afford to be deceived on the trade
than he could afford to deceive him. as
his stock in trade consisted of pleasing
his customers and holding them year
after year
OF late years, MI. Grlnnell has made
a speciality of lifting up matched pairs
for the summer company that is so fast
multiplying at Camden He buys them
i'll Boston or wherever they can be
found, and as he is an excellent Judge
of a horse, he never has any difficulty
in getting a good advance on good AN
imal, and he intends to have nothing
else. Some idea of his carriage bust
ness can be gained from the fact that
last season he paid the Maine State
Prison 5000 for carriages, and some of
them were very fine ones. He often
buys $1,000 worth of harnesses at one
time. In addition to his new goods, he
runs large repair and paint shop,
where old carriages are retitted and
sold again, where a new one is consider
ed too expensive by the purchaser.
Naturally Mr.. Grinnell is much in
terested in the new track building in
his town, and he has been President
Beams right hand man in all his labors,
trials and struggles incident to such an
important undertaking. He has not
only taken $1,000 i'll stock in the track,
but he has devoted his time and energy
to promoting the enterprise, and as
President Bean puts it, without Grin
nell it would have been uphill business.
Mr.. Grinnell will continue his friend
ship and his labOrs III behalf of the en-
terprise as long as it is run, as its pro-
motors now propose to run it in a high
class, business-like manner. Turf,
