Excerpt from The Book of Chicagoans: A Biographical Dictionary of Leading Living Men of the City of Chicago The Book of Chicagoans, after a long and patient campaign of research and inquiry, is now presented with confidence that every promise and prediction made for it has been fulfilled. The volume contains a vastly larger collection of personal sketches of Chicago people than has ever before been gathered together, and not only in numbers, but also in the quality of the people whose life-statistics are presented, the book may fairly claim precedence. It is the best showing ever made of biographical data concerning those living men who best represent the reputable efforts and creditable activities of the City of Chicago. The Book of Chicagoans is modeled on the plan of "Who's Who in America," a now world-famous publication, recognized as the highest authority on personal data pertaining to nationally notable living Americans. It is edited and published by the same persons who have placed "Who's Who in America" in the foremost position among American works of reference. It follows the same lines of carefulness and discrimination, but is entirely confined to pertinent data about the living men of Chicago and vicinity who are entitled to be included in a work of this character. Names which should have been included will be missed, but in practically all such cases the omission is not in the least due to the lack of effort on the part of those having the preparation of the book in hand. By mailed request or personal solicitation all who were regarded as eligible were solicited, in a respectful way, to furnish personal data. The great majority of those so requested furnished the data freely and in a courteous manner, and to them thanks are hereby extended. A few gave information with evident reluctance and others showed complete indifference and let the requests for data go unnoticed. Some names which frequently appear in the newspapers are conspicuous by their absence for the reason that the Book of Chicagoans has endeavored only to include men of good standing and reputable vocation.

Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Some of the Early Settlers of the City of Chicago In the conduct of such an institution, through times such as these, there were two things which it were impossible to secure together. One was the safety of the institution, and the other, the good-will of all the community. Everybody was in a con dition of suffering, and wanted money, with an intensity that could take no denial; and the very urgency of the want, point ed, in no inconsiderable number of cases, to the very reason which made it unsafe to accommodate them. The Cashier of a bank must of necessity look to the safety of his trust. If he is faithful to that, no matter whether no is an easy word to him or not; he is forced to make the two letters which com pose it, current in his institution. N 0, is not a popular word, with men who, wish to borrow money, especially if they wish to borrow it very much; as those then did, who wanted to borrow it at all. Mr. Brown's peculiar qualification already mentioned perhaps conduced more to the safety of his trust, than to his popularity for the time being. But integrity and decision vindicate themselves sooner or later, and he has lost little in the long run. Indeed the men who supposed them selves to suffer from lack of a decision in their favor, would now often choose him as the very man to take charge of a trust of their own, had they one, requiring sagacity and decision united with integrity in its management.
