              JOSEPH SIMON, SR., of the firm of J. Simon & Son, was
         born in Pennsylvania, April 28, 1826.  He there learned the
         trade of carriage manufacturing.  In 1848 he went to New
         Jersey, and engaged in the carriage business.  Came to Almont
         in 1855 and engaged in the same business.  In 1878 his son
         became associated with him, and since then they have, under
         the above firm name, made a specialty of building and re-
         pairing carriages, giving some attention also to wagon work.
         Their skillful and faithful work has secured for them a large
         patronage and successful business.
