Francis A. Miller advertised as a justice of the peace and conveyancer, with an office at the rear of 30 West Independence Street. The 1895–97 notice offered collection of claims and the preparation of instruments of writing. Promises of prompt service, neatness and dispatch supplied the advertisement's sales language.

Miller also advertised as an agent for insurance companies. The list named German, Peoples, Merchants, Reading, Citizens, Glens Falls and West Chester fire insurance companies. The small panel brought document work, claims collection and insurance agency into the same office notice, beneath a large display of Miller's name and professional roles.
