recommending to the noticTof om readers, the enterprising firm of T. J. Farden, successor to Campbell & Farden, so widely known as the boot k shoe men of Rensselaer. The subject of this sketch, T. J. F., was born in the old- county of Warren, amid the warrigg elements of a stormy March morning. This accounts for his having marched forward, Warring against opposition until he has attained pre-eminent success in his business enterprises; especially his present enterprise. His first years, he claims, were spent in working on a farm. We know of nothing a person could work at on a farm successfully during his first years, unless it would be milking, which will, we think, explain why Tom is called a BULLY BOY. But the fact of his being such an elegant judge of calf-skin, arises from the sole reason of his being so often cowhided, and not unfrequently booted. That early training thoroughly prepared him for his present vocation, i. e., that of a boot and shoe dealer. Having early expressed a'desire to become a counter jumper, his paternal ancestor not having the means (nor the goods, which is synonymous) to . start him in business, made business for him by attaching him to an old fashioned jumper setting him to covering corn; jumping a hill at each counter mark across the field. This made him “stir his shanks” so much that it acted as a couNTER-irritant, (like a customer who will not be pleased,) so he jumped his father’s bounty, fled from his home, and began life on his own responsibility, although entirely His ambition now was to enter the upper stratum of business ability, and without asking quarter of any one, he has, by persevering effort, and faithful attention to business, become so well heeled as to become sole proprietor of tne boot & shoe store before mentioned. We bespeak a large share of your patronage, believing, as we do, that all will find it to their interest to patronize him, that he may not peg out. —Look out for “ad.” next week.
