Chardon to Honor Jim' Hiland's
50 Y ears of Community Service
Tomorrow is “Jim” Hiland’s1
birthday. But to the merchants
on Main st., Chardon, it is much
more it is being observed as
the 50th anniversary of “Jim”’
1 Hiland’s service in King’s Cen
1 tral Store.
In his 67 years “Jim” has liv
in two houses and worked in
two stores. March 27, 1886,
“Jim” was bom on South st. in
what was then the last house in
town. For some 28 years this
was his home until he married
and moved to his present home
at 118 South st. where he has
lived ever since. Today his home
is the first house on South st.
from the business section.
“Jim’s” father was a black
smith and operated a shop at
the rear of their home. “Jim” at

But the pay wasn’t too good
and after several months had
gone by and no rainse in sight he
was pleased when Eric D. King,
owner of King’s Central store,
offered him a job at $5 a week.
“Jim” was the deliveryman
but was expected to sweep out
the store in the morning before
he harnessed up the horses. Us
ual starting hour was seven in
the morning. The horses and
equipment were kept for a while
in a barn back of the present
Hudson garage on Park street.
One horse was used for the
morning and at noon it was un
harnessed and turned into the
stable and a fresh horse started
fo rthe afternoon. The store
kept open every evening in the
week until nine or ten o’clock
and usually
Saturdays.

they could hitch on for a ride
up.
Later he was promoted to

time he was earning the rather
large wages of 15 a week they
got maried.
Times changed and brought
1 new faces. Forrest Allyn took
over the store for a while. Don
ald Hamm bought it later and
a few years ago Robert Neill be
i came the owner. But “Jim”
stays on behind the counter just
as smiling, courteous and just as
anxious to please as the day he
started.
Times have changed in the
grocery business since “Jim”
started. There were no fruit
counters in those days. Stores
carried only a few oranges and
bananas and they were expen
sive.. Most of the groceries
came in by freight first by
the B. and O. and later by the
electric line the C. and E. One
of “Jim’s” jobs was to haul the
packages up from the railroad
station. One of the big pack
ages that came every day was
the bread, which was shipped up
from Youngstown.
Merchants who are neighbors and friends of “Jim” Hi
land have prepared and this week are publishing tributes to
“Jim” for his years of community service. Congratulatory
ads and the pages on which they appear are as follows:
