Founder of the Mueller Furniture Company in 1892 with A.W. Slack, originally called Mueller and Slack Co.
Mr. Mueller got his early training at the Phoenix Furniture Company, being in their employ for twelve years, starting there working in the factory, then in the office and in the salesroom. For a little more than a year he traveled for the Grand Rapids Parlor Furniture Company.

In 1915 Frederick H. Mueller, son of J. Frederick Mueller, acquired an interest in the business and in 1919 when Mr. Slack retired he bought his interest also. In 1920 it seemed for the best interests of the company to change from a corporation to a partnership and it was necessary to change the name of the company to the Mueller Furniture Company; Mr. Mueller, Sr., and Jr., being the principal partners.
