THOMPSON, J. Walter:
Advertising agent; born Pittsfield, Mass., Oct. 28, 1847. His parents removed to Ohio while he was still quite young, and the early part of his life, including its educational period, was passed in that State; he came to New York, early in the sixties, in which city he shortly after- wards entered upon a mercantile career. This first venture in the active business life was made in 1864, when he was sev- enteen years of age; he began his career in the metropolis under the same condi- tions as did Horace Greeley and many others who have achieved success, being without money and without influence, but possessed of that energy and spirit of en- terprise which, as a rule, win good for- tune by commanding it. He was employed in a minor capacity, in that field of labor which was to become the work of his later life, his first position being that of clerk in an advertising establishment; later he entered into business on his own account securing control of a number of theatre programmes as profitable channels for advertising; to these he soon added the programmes of several New York theatres; the first stage in his independ- ent career was followed by others, and by an advance in position in the firm in whose service he was engaged, until he eventually purchased and became suc- cessor to its business; to this business he has, since acquiring complete control of it, steadily added, developing its im- portance and magnitude, particularly in the special field of magazine advertising.
