In a sketch on Howard F. Bliss from Portrait and Biographical Album of Rock County, Wisconsin (1889)
In the spring of 1865, Howard F. Bliss came to Janesville, and entered the employ of Wright & Hunt, leather and saddlery hardware dealers, with whom he continued for three years. He then engaged in business for himself in company with Adam Hayner, in the same line of trade, saddlery hardware, under the firm name of Hayner & Bliss. A year later Mr. C. Bassett became a member of the firm, and the business was continued under the firm name of Hayner, Bliss & Co. About 1874, the senior member retired, and the business was carried on by Bassett, Bliss & Co. In 1876 J.C. Echlin purchased an interest, and the firm became known as Bassett, Bliss & Echlin.
