      HOW LONG HAVE YOU HELD DOWN YOUR POSITION?
      Corinth, Dec. 15.- (From time to time The Saratogian will publish stories of Corinth residents who have been active in one position for a period of over fifteen years. The following is a short sketch of the business experience of a William H. Mead.)
      A period of thirty-five years in the grocery and drygoods business ins the experience of wWilliam H. Mead, proprietor of the Palmer stores in Palmer avenue. In 1886, Mr Mead came to Palmer from Saratoga Springs and purchased a grocery store in lower Palmer avenue which he conducted for over twenty years. After selling the grocery establishment to H.B. Hall, Mr. Mead bought the two buildings in Palmer avenue owned by Mrs. J.H. Jacobie and then began his career as a drygoods merchant. The buildings, which are in the same location, have been carrying a line of drygoods for the past fifteen year under the management of Mr. Mead, and while the one on the east side deals in men's furnishings, the one on the west side handles a line of ladies' and children's wearing apparel. Since Mr. Mead took over the management of the Palmer stores in 1908, and for many years previous there has been a United states post office in the building on the west side. Mr. Mead, despite his age, is still very active in sports. He loves horse racing, delights in hunting, and is well known in this vicinity for raising blue tick hounds. Several years ago, Mr. Mead purchsed "Black Prince,: from stables at Valleys Falls and in a comparatively short time, the horse was one of the fastest in the north section of the county. "Black Prince" was entered in four $1,000 stake races in Eastern Pennsylvania and several events in New Jersey. Mr. Mead is still active along the hourse racing line and is owner of "Blitta," probably the fastest pacer in Corinth. At present, "Blitta" is preparting for ice racing during the coming winter months.
