Where did he do business?

He sold VW Automobiles on the southwest corner of Osage and Truman. In a short time, he moved to the southwest corner of Main and Walnut.

In 1915, what item had become a staple in nearly every Independence (and Missouri) saloon?



Tens of thousands were buying the five-cent item every day in their favorite saloon.


This item may have accounted for the nearly eleven million gallons less of beer being consumed in Missouri for the first nine months of 1915.
