William T. Exton (August 18, 1855 - April 4, 1915) - Jobbing Trader, Trenton, New Jersey

William T. Exton was a nephew of Adam Exton, owner of Exton Cracker Bakery and inventor of the oyster cracker. William T. Exton worked at the bakery as a boy, and established his own cake and cracker store in January, 1888. He retired from his cake store in 1905, and became a jobber in general pottery wares, which he continued with, until late 1914. A jobber buys goods from wholesalers in "job lots" (small lots of miscellaneous goods), and sells them to retailers. It is assumed that Exton arranged for the pottery to be specially decorated, either by the manufacturer or a third party.
