James F. WILSON, Jr., is a promising and enterprising young business man of Fairfield, Jefferson County, who is a native of that city, born May 23, 1867, and a son of Senator James F. WILSON, whose sketch appears elsewhere in this volume. His primary education was received in the public schools of Fairfield, after which he attended Parsons College. In October, 1889, he opened a large boot and shoe establishment in Fairfield, where he carries one of the finest and best assorted stocks in that line in the county. He is doing a large and constantly increasing business, and is an affable, genial gentleman, who by fair and honorable dealings has built up a trade of which he has reason to be proud. He well deserves the success which has so far attended him in his business career, and a bright future seems to be before him.
