in association with his son, Floyd J., Mr.
Angevine established himself in the furniture
business in South Norwalk, Con-
necticut, under the name of the A. J.
Angevine & Son Company. From the
beginning the venture was successful, and
in January, 1917, Mr. Angevine opened
another store in Stamford on his own account.
At this time the corporation was
dissolved, and Mr. Angevine took charge
of the Stamford branch of the business.
While building up a reputation as a
successful and sagacious business man,
Mr. Angevine has also acquired that of
a public-spirited citizen, always quietly
ready to "lend a hand" in any plan de-
signed to improve community conditions
and never failing to show himself kind
and obliging in the relations of friend and
neighbor. Through an active career of
more than half a century, Mr. Angevine
has never failed in courage, initiative, per-
sistence, aggressiveness, or integrity,
qualities which are almost certain to
bring, eventually, success with honor. He
and all who know him can abundantly
testify that they have brought it to him.
Mr. Angevine married Ida Hartwejl,
daughter of Orville and Mary Jane (Cole)
Hartwell, of Ypsilanti, Michigan, and
they became the parents of one son,
Floyd J., of whom further.

November, 1917, he was identified with
the elder Angevine in the management of
the business. When the corporation was
dissolved, at the latter date, and Mr. An-
gevine, Sr., opened a store in Stamford,
Floyd J. Angevine retained the South
Norwalk business. He continued at the
old location until the spring of 1921, when
he moved to the new store building on
North Main street, the present home of
his flourishing, successful enterprise. Mr.
Angevine has developed the South Norwalk
business along progressive, substan-
tial lines, familiarizing himself with the
needs and tastes of the local market in
furniture, and steadily adding to a gen-
erous patronage through fair and straight-
forward methods of dealing. He is a
member of the South Norwalk and Norwalk
Country clubs, and is a Mason in
fraternal affiliation. Politically he is a
Republican.
Mr. Angevine married Ethel Perry,
daughter of Charles and Nora Belle
(Hartwell) Perry, and they are the par-
ents of Floyd J., Jr., born August 5, 1910,
and Ida Jean, born May 15, 1914.
