THE P. L. ABBEY COMPANY. This company, which is engaged in the manufacture of medicines on a large scale and is one of the widely known and representative industries of Kalamazoo, is a private corporation formed by Perley L. Abbey in 1887. It started business in a small way with the manufacture of preparations of celery and was first known as the Celery Medicine Company, bearing that name until I897, when it was transformed into the P. L. Abbey Co. It manufactures celery preparations, and a general line of pharmaceutical preparations, which have a high reputation in the medical world and the trade, and are sold all over the country. Mr. Abbey, the founder of the company, was born at White Pigeon, Mich., on July 2, 1865, and is the son of Lewis C. and Nellie (Loring) Abbey. The father was for many years a leading photographer and is now a highly respected citizen of 'Kalamazoo. The son was nine years old when he became a resident of the city, and he received his education here. He began business as a drug clerk for Brown & Berge, with whom he remained three years, then passed a number of years in the employ of J. A. Hoedamaker in the same capacity. In 1886 he began business for himself as a manufacturing pharmacist, and he has been successful from the start. He has also taken an active and serviceable interest in the Michigan National Guard, in which he is now a colonel, having become a member of the Kalamazoo Light Guards more than sixteen years ago. He went to the Spanish-American war as major in his regiment, and was with his command at Tampa. In 1903 he was elected colonel of the regiment, a position in which he has rendered excellent service to the organization. Fraternally he belongs to the Masonic order through lodge, charter and commandery, and also to the Knights of Pythias and the order of Elks. In 1898 he united in marriage with Miss Maude Young, of Kalamazoo. Both are members of St. Luke's church, and are highly appreciated members of the best social circles in the city. Their home is a center of refined and gracious hospitality, where their hosts of friends always find intelligent and profitable entertainment.
