Rev. D. R. Shier Goes Into Business

The following will be of Interest to to not only Ypsilanti and Manchester citizens where Mr. Shier was formerly stationed as pastor, but also to many in Ann Arbor who knew him:

"Rev. D. R. Shier, former pastor of the Morenci Methodist church, has been spending the past week among his friends here. The occasion of his visit was an important business engagement, the result of which is that he will act as traveling salesman of the gas machines manufactured by Messrs. Clark & Cambell, who constitute the Michigan Brick and Tile Machine Co. of this place. The elder has his "little joke" about the gas business in connection with the ministerial profession.
Morenci will be his headquarters, and so we shall often see him. It will be recalled that at the last M. E. conference he assumed the superannuate relation, and for some 80 days thereafter traveled on the lakes as the guest of the captain of the "John ,T. Hill," a large freighter. He acted as night watchman, even as occasional stoker, and lived a life of general freedom, all for the benefit of his health.
He now feels able to engage in business, and the Observer, in wishing him success, predicts that he will be a valuable representative of the company.- Morenci Observer.
