His early education was received in Poland, which was supplemented on his coming to this country in 1893, by courses in the public schools of Hamilton and at Hamilton Business College. He commenced his business career in 1899, by establishing the Canadian House Furnishing Company, at Kingston, Ont., in partnership with M. Cramer. In 1902 the business was removed to Ottawa owing to the limited possibilities for development in Kingston.
