W. H. Glover
W. H. Glover, wholesale and retail dealer in millinery, of Lima, is a Canadian by birth, having first seen the light of day in that country in 1844. Mr. Glover was raised on a farm, and since early manhood has been engaged in mercantile business, first as a clerk in a dry goods store, later in a general merchandise store, and finally in a store of his own in Lima. Mr. Glover had traveled on the road for 25 years when he came to this city in 1889, and in partnership with A. A. Winters opened a millinery store under the firm name of Glover & Winters. The business was a success from the start, and the volume of trade has extended until it has become one of the most extensive enterprises in Lima. In 1894 Mr. Glover purchased his partner's interest and has since then been sole owner. The business is both wholesale and retail, the former covering an extensive territory. Mr. Glover is interested in a number of enterprises in Ohio, including properties in Tiffin and Van Wert. He has paid up stock in the German American Oil Company to the value of $6,000 and is owner of a thriving fertilizing plant at Muncie, Indiana. He has added materially in the development of Lima. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity. Mr. Glover has been too much occupied with his business to dabble in politics. He was married in 1876 to Currence Winters.
