In 1899 he accepted a clerkship with the New York and New England Railroad Co., at the East Hartford freight transfer station, and rapidly advanced to the chief clerkship. In 1891 he became assistant cashier of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail Road freight station at Hartford, later a timekeeper for the Russell Manufacturing Co. of Middletown, Conn., but having a preference for the railroad he again returned in 1892 to the East Hartford freight station, having full charge of all the freight and passenger departments. He also had various positions offered him in the general offices of the Boston and Albany Railroad Co., at Boston, Mass, the New Haven Steamboat Co. at Hartford.” “In February 1893, he gave up railroad life, although the agency of several stations, including East Hartford, was offered to him by the New York and New England Railroad Co., to become manager of his father's farm, developing it so that now he is one of the larger tobacco growers in the North School District. With his farm work, he has built up a large and successful farm implement and fertilizer business, and represents many of the largest implement manufacturers of America. His business ability and knowledge of implements was recognized, so that he soon received the appointment as a regular transfer agent by the International Harvester Co. of America of Chicago, Ill, to transfer and distribute their full lines of machines and repairs for a large and important section of New England.” “Politically, [William K. Ackley] is identified with the Republican Party, and is treasurer of the East Hartford businessmen's association, treasurer and director of the Hartford county tobacco growers' protective association, and has been treasurer for several years of the North School District.
