-Apparently, 1895 was a good year for his business as it relocated to the “Cunningham Block”  located on the 500 block of Market Street, which was a very desirable business address at the time near the center of the commercial district. (The 500 block of Market Street is the same block that the “legendary” tobacconist [[Sutliff]] would open his shop in 1925.) Besides selling his own in-house produced C.P.H. line of pipes, he was also known for selling the English-produced [[GBD|G.B.D.]] and [[Biltor]] brand pipes. In 1896 or 1897 he became business partners with John McDonald, but this was short lived and by 1900 McDonald was no longer involved in the company.
