In 1912 he moved to Miles City MT, and cow punched and learned English. In 1916, Bohlin moved to Cody, WY. where he drove one of the last stage routes into the East entrance of Yellowstone National Park. He worked with both a blacksmith and a jeweler in Cody and honed his skills fabricating bits, spurs and buckles. He opened a small leather goods shop in Cody in 1920 where there was special demand for his innovative 3 piece buckle sets. Being a performer, he eventually joined a vaudeville company that took him to Hollywood. Here he met Tom Mix, who bought the coat off his back as well as his fine tooled leather boots, and travel bag. By 1922 he was living in Hollywood making silver and leather goods at his Hollywood Novelty and Leather Shop. By 1926 he had a well established business as Edward H. Bohlin, Inc. after which all leather goods, and silver were marked ?Bohlinmade, Hollywood, California? He eventually went on to become the silversmith to the stars.
