At twenty-one years of age he left the farm, came to Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and became a clerk for the old firm of Donahoe Bros. & Co., wholesale and retail dealers in all kinds of grain, and was in their employ from October, 1879, until December, 1880, when he left their employ, and in December, 1880, engaged with Frank Fisher, who was also a wholesale and retail dealer in all kinds of grain and feed, and did quite an immense business, whose place of business was at South Greensburg on the Southwest Pennsylvania railroad, and was in his employ until March, 1885. In February, 1885, he purchased the furnishing undertaking establishment of the late John L. Hacke, which was established in 1868.
