Samuel M. Phillips
Samuel M. Phillips, well known and highly esteemed citizen of Amsterdam, O., and manager and partner in the firm of H. Phillips & Brother, dealers in gents' furnishing goods, was born in New York City, N. Y., a son of Joseph and Mary Phillips, the former of whom is deceased, while the latter is a resident of Steubenville. Mr. Phillips secured his education in New York City, and in 1904 engaged as a merchant with his brother at Mingo Junction, the firm still carrying on business there. The store at Amsterdam was opened in 1907, and since its opening has had its share of the patronage of the people of this community. Mr. Phillips has acted as manager of both stores and it is probably due to his business ability that the firm has met with such success. Mr. Phillips is a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Red Men, both of Amsterdam. In his political views he is independent.
