He had gone west to own three newspapers, Farmers City IL, Carlinville IL, and Sedalia MO, until the gas and oil boom of 1887 brought him back to work with his father Lewis Glessner in the Hancock Courier business. He later began to produce Dr Drakes Cough Medicine in his home and later founded the Glessner Medicine Company that manufactured a line of patent medicine products at their factory on E Sandusky Ave in downtown Findlay.
