R. C. HORR & CO.
The prosperous stone business of R. C. Horr & Co. was started in 1882 by R. A. Horr and his sou R. C. Horr. The father was in partnership with W. R. Santley, at Wellington, Ohio, in the lumber business, but he retired from that business and went into handling stoue from his own quarries in Ohio. The offices and yard are at No. 2728 North Broad street, and the increasing business is ably managed by Mr. R. C. Horr.
R. Cortland Horr was born in Ohio, in 1859, and was educated in the public schools, he afterward went to Oberlin College and finally graduated at Cornell University in 1882. The same year he went into the stone business with his father. Although a busy 111:111 and rapidly increasing his trade, Mr. Horr finds time to go into polities. He first became prominent in political circles by the activ1ty he displayed in advocating the election of President Harrison. In February 1889 he was elected to Common Councils to represent the 33rd ward and he worked so well for his constituents that he was rcelected at the expiration of his first term. He is now chairman of the Fire and Health committees, and he strongly advocated and championed better legislation for the prohibition of the sale of adulterated milk. He is also an active member of the Law and Water committees. In Republican circles Mr. Horr has gained great popularity, and he is a member of many clubs, including the Young Republ1cans, Anti-Cobden, Columbia and Tom Reed clubs.
In fact Mr. Horr is as great a success as a politician as he is as a business man, and whatever he undertakes he carries out with the utmost energy and to the full extent of his powers. In his business he has developed several specialties, notablv in the introduction of Clarkficld's sawed flag pavements. He also deals largely in Elyria Sandstone, Gatelawbridge Scotch red stone and Hoosier Indiana limestone. Mr. Horr has several times been mentioned as a probable appointee of some important city offices, but he is more inclined to look after the profits of his stone business than to grapple with the problems of official life.
