His methods were quieter than his father’s as his personality wes! gruff and rugged. Many of his important deals were so quietly executed that few knew he had guided them until they were com- pleted. He was one of the largest c»-/ erators on the Chicago Board of Trede. and in one sensational con- flict with James A. Patten over control,of the wheat market hc was said to have won more than $1,000,600 in a few weeks. He lived in summer on his model farm at Lake Forest.
