From 1883 through 1916, he was listed at 525 East College as a furniture manufacturer and from 1894-1897 as postmaster.  Flavius A. Hart's furniture store was at 29 South Main (24 before number conversion) from 1883-1895; it was Hart & Sperry furniture from 1894 to 1904; and Hart & Vincent from 1904 to 1907, when Mr. Hart sold the business to Mr. Vincent (Maddock).
