IV/fANY men have gone west and succeeded, but they got their start in the east. iVl Of such is Charles Paul Mueller, who was born June 13, 1862, in Williamsville, N. Y. Six years later his parents moved to Lawrence, Kan., but grasshoppers drove them back to New York, where at the age of 14 he began his trade training in the greenhouses of Long Bros., Buffalo. In 1883 he returned to Kansas, worked for two years in Lawrence and then bought a part interest in a firm in Wichita. Buying out his partner in 1887, he started out entirely "on his own" with two small houses. The next year he returned to Buffalo long enough to marry his former employer's niece and brought her back with him to Wichita. He now has a range of 90,000 feet of glass and two retail stores; his weekly pay-roll is $900. He is a Rotarian, director of the board of commerce and member of the board of education. He has been a member of the S. A. F, for many years, a life member since 1909, and for several terms vice-president for Kansas. He is also a director of the Florists' Hail Association.
