After World War II, when the production of automobiles resumed, he received the local franchise for Studebakers. In 1943, he accepted a vacancy on the City Council and a year later, stood for election and won the aldermanic position. In 1948, he won chairmanship of the Police Commission and the presidency of the City Council. In later years he was a general manager and stockholder in Sanco Motors, the present Ford dealership.
