The subject of this sketch would not qualify in the light-weight class, but as one of the most hustling business men of the city, and one who is always ready to do his full share towards the up-building of the city, he would carry off high honors. Mr. Boggess is the very genial and accommodating proprietor of the plumbing and heating business on Chestnut street, known as Boggess Bros., and during the six years he has been here he has demonstrated that it pays to hustle, and that a genial personality is a big aid in business success. Mr. Boggess is a native of Iowa, having been born in this state thirty-one years ago. He is a member of the Elks, I. O. O. F. and the Atlantic Fire Department. He knows the plumbing business from A to Z and the name of Boggess spells merit in plumbing and heating work. The splendid work done in this city by Mr. Boggess and his firm stands as a testimonial to their ability and the business is in a most thrifty and prosperous condition.
