his native county. He is a gentle
man in the finest tradition of the
State of Maryland. His sense of
dignity adds decorum to the pro-

To-day Marks 18th
Anniversary Event
For A. d. Naylor Co

Today, March - 1859, marks the
18th anniversary of the founding
Of the A. D. Naylor and Company
in Oakland and the founder, A. D..
Naylor, now 81 years of age, was
at his business desk as usual
Started in 1884 as blacksmith
ing business, Mr.. Naylor soon
added wagons. sleds and farm i'm
plements. He then purchased a
plumbing, heating and electrical
business, later dropping the black
smithing business entirely but
adding a fall line of hardware to
expand the company to its present
size. The store is still operated by
Mr. Naylor and his various off
spring.
Mr.. Naylor left home at the age
10 to work in Keyser as a black
smith apprentice and at the age of
twenty-five years came to Oakland
to establish his own business.
Mr.. Naylor often talks about his
work in those early days, and the
price obtained for such work. For
Shoeing horse with new shoes,
all toed up complete and put on,
the cost was 80 cents. A set of steel
tires on a four wheeled buggy,
drilling 70 holes and putting in
many bolts to hold the tires, cost
Sc. There we're no cight-hour days
in those years" Mr. Naylor said.
For a number of years j. NJ.
Falkenstein worked for him as
carpenter and built express and
delivery wagons. Mr. Falkcnstein
just observed his 9th anniversary
on February 25. Labor at the time
was from so cents to 81 day Me
chanics got S1.75 to 81.
There is no other person in bust
ness who was in business in Oak
land rs years ago, although there
are firms older than that.
In spite of the 18th anniversary,
today will be just like any other
day for Mr. Naylor. He will come
to work somewhere between 8 and
10 o'clock, attend to business
matters, go home for lunch and a
cat nap, and then will return to
the store for an afternoon session.
