OLD MAN REVIEWS BUSINESS
Maine Harressmaker Of Eishty-seven
Years to Conduct Store Following
the Death of His Son.

Lewiston, Me. At eighty-seven
years of age, Joseph Niles is one of
the busiest men in Sabbatis. subur-
ban village. BY the death of his son
he has gone into business again, and
early and late he is at his bench.
Some - years ago Niles, then o
comparatively old man, after having
for many years conducted the harness
store on the main street, gave up the
business to his son. Amasa Niles.
A few weeks ago the son arose one
morning, went to the store and
dropped dead from heart failure. To
day, past his eighty. seventh birthday,
Joseph M. Niles is at the little work
shop, conducting the business again
that he thought he had left for all
time.
Mr.. Niles does not look or feel
eighty-seven years of age. but he is
probably the Oldest man in the state
actively conducting business, and
one of the few who have conducted
the same business in the same place
for more than half century.
The little shop is older than he is
one of the oldest buildings in the
township--a little one story affair that
formerly stood where the postoffice
now is, and has been twice moved
since then.
