A year later he entered into partnership with his father in the furniture and undertaking busi- ness in Cortland, under the firm name of D. H. Doubleday & Son. From 1875 to 1895 he was engaged in the real estate business in Cortland.

The firm has the only book bindery in this section and does a considerable business in that line.
