Later he went to Bucyrus, Ohio, where he was employed by the Thompson Steam Shovel Company as machinist. In 1892 he moved to Akron, Ohio, and worked as machinist with the Akron Machine Company. After three years he accepted an offer from the American Cereal Company, later the Quaker Oats Company, and in 1898 attained the position of machine shop foreman.
