WILLIAM MACE.

WILLIAM MACE.
William Mace is classed with the progressive business men of Saratoga, where he is well known as a member of the firm that is conducting business under the name of the Saratoga Grocery Company. He was born in the city of New York, September 3, 1872, and is a son of Alfred and Mary (McKillip) Mace, who are natives of New York, where the father was engaged in mercantile business. He also became actively interested in mining but is now living retired at the age of sixty-five years, his business enterprise, progressiveness and capable management having brought to him substantial success. His wife has reached the age of sixty-four years. They became the parents of four children: Albert. a resident of New York city; William, of this review; Mrs. Nellie Bishop, living in Rhode Island; and Mrs. Mary Palmer, a resident of the state of New York. Through the period of his boyhood William Mace attended the public schools of New York and following his graduation from the high school with the class of 1889 he was employed in connection with various mercantile establishments for two years. He determined, however, to try his fortune in the west and in 1891 came to Wyoming, settling in Saratoga. He began to work for Cosgriff Brothers, general merchants, in whose service he remained until January, 1917, when in connection with Charles C. Hickok, who had also been an employe of the Cosgriff Brothers, he purchased the business, which they have since carried on under the name of the Saratoga Grocery Company. They have a large establishment, carrying a very attractive line of goods, and their business has developed until their sales now reach ten thousand dollars monthly. On the 12th of June, 1904, Mr. Mace was married to Miss Lulu Munz, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mathew Munz, and they have become parents of four children: William, who was born in Saratoga in 1909 and is now attending school; Josephine, born in 1911; Frank, in 1913; and Thomas, in 1915. Mr. Mace is well known as a representative of the Masonic fraternity, the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and the Woodmen of the World. His political allegiance is given to the republican party and he keeps informed concerning the vital questions and issues of the day but does not seek nor desire office, as he prefers to give his undivided attention to his business affairs. He has never had occasion to regret his determination to remove to the west, for here he has found the business opportunities which he sought and in their utilization has steadily advanced, the steps in his orderly progression being easily discernible. He has the sound judgment that enables him to avoid unnecessary risks or erratic business movements and his stability of purpose and unfaltering enterprise have gained him place among the representative merchants of his section, of the state.
