A. H. RICKER—A BUSY MAN.

One of the busiest men about Harvard square, these days, is Albert H. Ricker, the well known plumber and stove dealer. Mr. Ricker is engaged in putting a new sanitary apparatus into the Riverside school; he is installing a bathroom for John Mack, whose house is in Brookline; putting in another for J. W. Emery, of Oxford street; putting the furnaces in Mrs. Gray's new residence on Walker street; beside the usual number of pieces of routine work. A job which he has just completed is in the house of C. C. Cobleigh, in Brookline, where he installed a bath-room.

In addition to this work, Mr. Ricker has his hands full, getting ready for winter. As soon as people get home from their summer vacations, they begin to think of their furnaces. They must be repaired and put in order, so as to be lighted when they are needed. Mr. Ricker has had a busy summer, and says that he is looking for a busy fall trade. Mr. Ricker is a good plumber and one who holds his customers.

Mr. Ricker, whose cut appears herewith, is a native of Maine. He was born in Waterbury, and spent his early life there. During the Civil war he enlisted from his native town in the 30th Maine infantry and served till the close of the war. In October, 1865, he went to Lawrence, Mass., where he learned the trade, which he has followed ever since. In '69 he located in Haverhill, Mass., but soon moved to Manchester, N. H., and still later back to Lawrence, and thence to South Berwick, Me.

After remaining in the latter place about five years, he came to this city. That was in 1881, and for the past 20 years Mr. Ricker has lived in this city. His first business connection was with the firm of Charles Moore & Co., on Brattle street. A few years later Mr. Ricker entered the firm and the name was changed to Moore & Ricker. He remained at that stand till about six years ago, when he withdrew from the firm and started the store at 14 Boylston street. He has been there ever since, and has had the pleasure of seeing his trade gradually increasing, till now he is one of the busiest men in the vicinity of Harvard square.

Mr. Ricker has always identified himself with the Grand Army. He first joined Needham post of Lawrence, during the first years of its existence. Later he was transferred to the post in Salmon Falls, N. H., which is just across the line from South Berwick, Me., where he lived at the time. In the Salmon Falls post he arose to the position of senior vice-commander. For the past 20 years, or since coming to this city, Mr. Ricker has been a member of post 56, Quincy square. A few years ago his comrades there made him their commander, an admirable selection and one which they never regretted.

Mr. Ricker is a member also, of Mispah lodge, A. F. & A. M., and of the Sons and Daughters of Maine, of this city. He has been a member for 16 years and has served as president. While in Lawrence, he identified himself with the Temple of Honor. Mr. Ricker is married and lives in North Cambridge. He has one son, who is also married.
