1225175 PREFACE
THE BOOK OF CHICAGOANS was first published in 1905. During the intervening years it has found a prominent place in thousands of business offices and homes in Chicago and elsewhere and its usefulness as a reference book 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.
A new edition, revised and brought down to date, 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 issue-names unavoidably overlooked in a first edition, as well as a large number of others who have come into prominence since the first 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.
A casual examination of these pages will disclose not only the presence of many new names but also the absence of a considerable number of sketches which appeared in the earlier issue. The omissions are accounted for by reason of death (THE BOOK OF CHICAGOANS being confined to living men only), removals from the city, impossibility to find present addresses, and a few because they are no longer regarded of sufficient importance.
The names of those whose life-sketches appeared in the first edition but who have died or been dropped for various reasons, have been inserted in this volume in their original alphabetical place, with a reference to the volume of 1905 in which the biographical sketch appeared, and, if deceased, the fact has been noted. with the date of death when known.

PREFACE
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 practi- cally 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 preparation of the book in hand. Written requests sent by mail were supplemented by personal solicitation when occasion required, and the great majority of those applied to responded freely and in a courteous manner, and to them thanks are hereby extended. A few furnished information with evident reluctance and others showed complete indifference and let the request for data go unnoticed.
The omission of worthy names is in nowise due to any fault of the publishers but entirely to failure of the persons themselves to furnish the necessary data.
Some names which frequently appear in the newspapers are conspicuous by their absence for the reason that THE BOOK OF CHICAGOANS has endeavored to include only men of good standing and reputable vocation.
Notwithstanding the reasons named, which have prevented the inclusion of persons whose life-sketches it had been intended to give, the publication may make just claim to greater completeness, a greater degree of accuracy and a more dependable and authoritative record in regard to the leaders in the business, professional, industrial, official and intellectual life of Chicago than has ever before been collected.
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
ix
PREFACE
authenticity has been safeguarded and its value as a reference book has 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 whose life-histories are here briefly given are in large measure the men who control the activi- ties and welfare of Chicago in all important avenues of public, private, business and intellectual endeavor. The main object of bringing 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.
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.
No other book has attempted to furnish, in any systematic manner, the salient facts in regard to the lives of those Chicagoans who are most prominent in all the useful branches of effort.
Many and varied are the. interests controlled or represented by those whose life-histories are here outlined. Business and professional 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, production, and professional effort. Therefore this volume 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 competitors and customers, and a vast amount of personal knowledge in regard to their fellow citizens 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
PREFACE
movements and interests of the city as it has been possible to procure by patient care, experienced methods and large expenditure.
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. The truth is here given in undiluted form and every item is presented in a plain, unvarnished, concise, condensed manner, which may be at once grasped and understood.
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.
The volume contains concise, but comprehensive, biographic sketches of 500 per cent more representative Chicagoans than are to be found in any other publication. While it is not claimed that the book represents infallibility or inerrancy, it is confidently put forth as the best that has so far been produced among books of local and con- temporary biography in this city.
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.
