Samuel W. Glover, of Cincinnati, president of The Post-Glover Electric
Company, belongs to the class of men who, seeing an advantage, possess
the ability to follow it to a successful conclusion. Eighteen years ago
he assisted in organizing the business of which he is now the head and
has lived to see the enterprise grow from a small beginning until today
it is one of the highly flourishing concerns of Cincinnati, manufacturing
and dealing on a large scale in electrical and railway supplies.
Mr. Glover has been identified with the electrical business ever since
he was a young man, having recognized years ago the possibilities of this
line of activity through the increasing use of electricity as its
advantages should become better known. He arrived in Cincinnati in 1893
and associated with Oliver Kinsey and F. V. Van Winkle as The Post-Glover
Electric Company. The firm began operating on West Fourth Street,
directly opposite 314 to 316, the present location of the company, and
moved across the street in order to secure larger accommodations in 1899.
The company started with Mr. Kinsey as president and Mr. Glover as vice
president and general manager. In 1896 Mr. Glover succeeded Mr. Kinsey
as president and has continued from the start as general manager. He is
also treasurer, the other officers of the company being Mr. Van Winkle
and George N. Devon. The company now occupies seven floors and makes use
of forty-two thousand square feet of floor space. The patronage of the
house has increased manifold and the name has become widely known, the
company now giving employment to two hundred and fifty persons in the
manufacture, sale and distribution of its products.
Mr. Glover devotes his entire time to this business. He is a man of
keen discrimination, sound judgment and fine executive ability, his
associates also being thoroughly qualified for performing their full
share in advancing the interests of the organization. Mr. Glover is
actively identified with the Business Men's Club and fraternally is
connected with the Masonic order, being a member of the Blue Lodge,
Chapter, Commandery and Shrine. He has in Cincinnati found an agreeable
and highly promising field for his energy and has met with the success
that is almost invariably the result of wisely directed application.
