After working three years as a journeyman, he went into business for himself, and has built up a very large connection employing twelve men, also conducting a store for the sale of paint and wallpaper. Among many large contracts he has had was that for Milton Hershey, including the work on all his dwellings and his large chocolate plant, which alone covers more than six acres. Mr. Zentmyer has several fine properties in the place besides his residence, which is a spacious and commodious double house, recently erected by himself.
