Francis E. TAYLOR as a boy attended common and high school at Iola and subsequently took a commerical course. In 1915 he came to Merrill and for one year thereafter was in the employ of the Iron company. He then bought an interest in the concern, becoming manager of the plant, of which he is now president and the largest stockholder. He is a member of the Elks and Rotary Club and occupies a high position among the successful business men of Merrill.
