Merrill I. Mills

Merrill I. Mills (November 4, 1819 – September 14, 1882) was a businessman and mayor of Detroit.
==Biography==
Merrill I. Mills was born on November 4, 1819 in Canton, Connecticut, the son of Isaac and Asenath Merrill Mills. Although his parents preferred he take up a professional career, Mills found he had no taste for college life, and in 1833, he joined his father's gunpowder manufacturing firm.〔 In 1838, he moved to Alabama to represent the firm there, but in 1840 his father's health began to fail and the younger Mills moved back to Canton and take the reins of the business.
However, in 1845, Mills decided to start a new business in the west. Originally he intended to set up shop in Fort Wayne, Indiana, but the early closing of navigation in the fall〔 forced him to lay over for some time in Detroit.〔 Sensing an opportunity, Mills abandoned his original plan and opened a general store in Detroit.〔 He also began trading in furs, and soon established a reputation as one of the best-known fur traders in the area.〔 In 1850, he began manufacturing cigars, continuing and expanding the business, founding the Nevin & Mills company in 1861 and the Banner Tobacco Company in 1878.〔〔 In 1867, Mills partnered with two other businessmen to open the Detroit Stove Works, and in 1872 started the Michigan Stove Company. In addition, he was also connected with Detroit's First National Bank, Detroit Fire and Marine Insurance, Eldredge Sewing Machine Company of Chicago, and the Frankfort Furnace Company; and was president of the Transit Railway Company of Detroit.〔
