1225176 PREFACE
THE BOOK OF CHICAGOANS was first published in 1905. A second edition was issued in 1911. A third edition has been called for, and the present volume is presented as the best possible response to that demand.
This edition contains many names not listed in the earlier issues- names hitherto unavoidably overlooked, as well as a large number of names which have come into prominence since the previous edition was printed. The work of revision has been painstaking and thorough. Not only have many new names been added, but each of the original sketches has been rewritten in order that the best possible arrangement of the data for easy reference purposes might be secured; and value has been added by the inclusion of the names of many leading women. The names of women were not included in the previous volumes.
A casual examination of these pages will disclose not only the pres- ence of many new names, but also the absence of a considerable number of sketches which appeared in the earlier issues. The omissions are accounted for by reason of deaths (THE BOOK OF CHICAGOANS being con- fined to the living only), removals from the city, impossibility to find present addresses, and a few because they are no longer regarded of sufficient importance.
It is known that 841 persons whose names appeared in the previous edition have died and that 408 have removed from the city ; consequently their sketches have been dropped, and 729 have been omitted for other reasons. The names, however, have been included in the present edition and reference has been made to the volume in which the sketches may be found.
This feature will be of particular value to those who may wish to secure reliable biographical information about many men who were prominent in the business or social life of Chicago in the opening years

of the twentieth century, but who have passed to the "great beyond," leaving no other printed record of their life-work.
In the remaking of THE BOOK OF CHICAGOANS-for this is practically a new book from beginning to end-every source of available names has been drawn upon and every reasonable effort has been made to procure the requisite data from all who were deemed eligible for inclusion. Nevertheless, names which should have been included will be missed, but in practically all such cases the omission is not in the least due to inadvertence or the lack of effort on the part of those having the prepa- ration of the book in hand. Written requests sent by mail were supple- mented by personal solicitation when occasion required, and the great majority of those applied to responded freely and in a courteous man- ner, and to them thanks are hereby extended. A few furnished informa- tion with evident reluctance, and others showed complete indifference and let the request for data go unnoticed.
Some names which frequently appear in the newspapers are con- spicuous by their absence, for the reason that THE BOOK OF CHICAGOANS has endeavored to include only men and women of good standing and reputable vocation.
To make such a publication dependable it is necessary that it should be impartial and unpurchasable. THE BOOK OF CHICAGOANS has been compiled as a reference book, and all of the sketches in the volume have been inserted with that fact in view. Not one has been paid for, nor inserted for any financial consideration.
To secure accuracy the greatest care has been taken. In every case where possible the facts were procured at first hands, and the sketches were submitted for verification and correction, thus giving to the book a quality practically autobiographical. In this painstaking way its authenticity has been safeguarded. Its value as a reference book has long been established.
The volume has been confined to living subjects, because the purpose from the first has been to furnish a dictionary of contemporaries, and to mirror the current progress and history of the city as reflected in the life-statistics of its citizens. The men and women whose life- histories are here briefly given are in large measure those who control the activities and welfare of Chicago in all important avenues of public, private, business and intellectual endeavor. The main object of bring- ing them together in this compilation is to place within easy reach such legitimate information in regard to the personal history of Chicagoans as it is natural that one interested in them should desire to possess.

PREFACE
In the daily work and turmoil of life, in this city of strenuous endeavor and achievement, one finds but little opportunity to get acquainted with those whose personalities are (outside of his own most intimate circles) of most interest. The reader can doubtless think of many a leading citizen of whom he would like to know: Where did he come from, where and how was he educated, what is his home life, his religious, social and political environment, and what have been the chief steps in his career? If the reader will turn to such names he will find just the information desired.
Many and varied are the interests controlled or represented by persons whose life-histories are here outlined. Business and pro- fessional interests are most largely represented, because Chicago is, beyond everything else, a business center. The city has made unprecedented strides toward business supremacy, and stands first in many, and prominent in all, of the important branches of trade, produc- tion, and professional effort. This volume, therefore, partakes largely of the nature of a business dictionary, and one which contains more personal information about the living business men of Chicago than can be found collectively in all other books ever printed. Business men can find here much more than they ever knew before about their com- petitors and customers, and a vast amount of personal knowledge in regard to their fellow citizens, both men and women, which is of value from a business as well as from a social standpoint. In fact, in all lines of useful achievement, the book furnishes as complete a compendium and epitome of personal data in regard to those Chicagoans most prominently identified with the best movements and interests of the city as it has been possible to procure by patient care, experienced methods and large expenditure.
The book has found a prominent place in thousands of business offices and homes in Chicago and elsewhere and its usefulness has become widely recognized. In fact, it has been the only book to which one might turn for trustworthy information about practically all the leading men of the city. At the libraries it has been consulted more frequently than any other local reference book, and in newspaper offices it has been regarded as a positive necessity.
To the press of Chicago and other cities this volume presents features of easily recognized value. Here the newspaper man will find facts which are of great value, and by the use of the book in the city room the exasperating errors resulting from hasty picking up of details from unreliable sources may be in large measure avoided.

PREFACE
In the daily work and turmoil of life, in this city of strenuous endeavor and achievement, one finds but little opportunity to get acquainted with those whose personalities are (outside of his own most intimate circles) of most interest. The reader can doubtless think of many a leading citizen of whom he would like to know: Where did he come from, where and how was he educated, what is his home life, his religious, social and political environment, and what have been the chief steps in his career? If the reader will turn to such names he will find just the information desired.
Many and varied are the interests controlled or represented by persons whose life-histories are here outlined. Business and pro- fessional interests are most largely represented, because Chicago is, beyond everything else, a business center. The city has made unprecedented strides toward business supremacy, and stands first in many, and prominent in all, of the important branches of trade, produc- tion, and professional effort. This volume, therefore, partakes largely of the nature of a business dictionary, and one which contains more personal information about the living business men of Chicago than can be found collectively in all other books ever printed. Business men can find here much more than they ever knew before about their com- petitors and customers, and a vast amount of personal knowledge in regard to their fellow citizens, both men and women, which is of value from a business as well as from a social standpoint. In fact, in all lines of useful achievement, the book furnishes as complete a compendium and epitome of personal data in regard to those Chicagoans most prominently identified with the best movements and interests of the city as it has been possible to procure by patient care, experienced methods and large expenditure.
The book has found a prominent place in thousands of business offices and homes in Chicago and elsewhere and its usefulness has become widely recognized. In fact, it has been the only book to which one might turn for trustworthy information about practically all the leading men of the city. At the libraries it has been consulted more frequently than any other local reference book, and in newspaper offices it has been regarded as a positive necessity.
To the press of Chicago and other cities this volume presents features of easily recognized value. Here the newspaper man will find facts which are of great value, and by the use of the book in the city room the exasperating errors resulting from hasty picking up of details from unreliable sources may be in large measure avoided.

PREFACE
is here given in undiluted form and every item is presented in a plain, unvarnished, concise, condensed manner, which may be at once under- stood.
In number and representative selection of subjects, accuracy of detail and authoritative usefulness as a work of reference, it is confi- dently claimed that THE BOOK OF CHICAGOANS is the most complete compilation of Chicago biography ever printed. Not only is this true, but by far the larger part of the information it contains is not pro- curable, in print, from any other source.
With a view to further revisions, as time and necessity shall make them advisable, suggestions for further improvements, changes in biographical data, notices of deaths and announcements of changes of address as they occur, are again invited.
