At age 18, after completing his schooling at Alfred Academy and one year of mill work, Frank began his life in the mercantile business by working as a clerk in Portland, where he stayed three years. At age 21, he went into business for himself. He partnered with Augustus G. Paine at Saccarappa for one year, and then they moved to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. In Portsmouth they sold woolens and manufactured ladies' cloaks. After three years in Portsmouth and three more in Boston, they moved to New York City. During the six years in Portsmouth and Boston, their sales amounted to many millions of dollars. Their financial success continued in New York, where they spent seven years, realizing enormous sales and profits. At one time the firm employed 600 people, operating 100 sewing machines.
 After those busy fourteen years, Frank retired. However, one year of inactivity was enough, and he returned to the business world, forming a copartnership with other York County men in Boston in 1867, under the firm name of the Oriental Tea Company. For years, this company carried on a large business in teas and coffees.
 In 1874, he was elected to the Common Council of Cambridge, Massachustts,serving two years. In 1876, he was elected Mayor of the City of Cambridge. During his term as Mayor, he instituted several reforms in the way the city did business, all of which was of great benefit to the people of Cambridge. After serving as Mayor, he served terms on other city boards.
 He was a member of Prospect Steet Congregational Church.
