are no prodigal sons grown in
this Sanity city. There is vast
wealth, there are doting, indulgent
parentS-these are all the conditions
favorable to the production of prodigals
by the wholesale, yet there probably
never was town that turns out as few
scapegoats as st. Paul. 1t does not fol-
low from this that young men here do
not get well enough acquainted
with Satan to tell him to
get behind them. They know life.
But they do not give themselves up to
fun and frolic to the exclusion
of more serious affairs. Club life as
here. 1t is the occupation of no man to
kill time. st. Paul young men are
BUSINESS MEN AND WORKERS.
The same ambitious spirit and habits
Of, industry that characterized their
fathers and led to the establishm ent of
big commercial firms and the amassing
of large fortunes, are reproduced in
them, and they 60 on adding to
and perpetuating the results of their
fathers efforts.
THE children of commerce take pleasure
in breaking
What their fathers before them took
pleasure in making
Can not be truthfully asserted of the
children of commerce of this town.
Chauncey NJ. Griggs, who has lately
retired from business, possessed OF, he
and bearer know how much money, has
the satisfaction of leaving an able
representative in the commercial world
in his son, Milton d. Griggs, who stands
at the head of one of the largest whole
sale grocery houses in the city.
II. S. Fairchild can travel abroad,
leaving his entire business in the hands
of his son, Charles c., who finds time
outside of business hours to do great
deal of singing and to permit himself to
be made a society favorite.
William f. Peet, another society ia
vorite, finds time and place for all
things, work as we'll as pleasure. He
labors at the side of his father. E. w.
Peet, in the insurance business, and is
COIL III tNSIy way W uSSulllC lull
control of affairs at any time.
William Dawson, president of the
Bank of Minnesota, looks for a success
sor in his son, William Dawson, Jr., who
is now cashier of the same bank.
John Burkhard stands next to his
father in business now, and will doubt
less one day take his place.
Henry Swift is only the nominal
head of his big fruit concern. The
active head is his son, Fred, who for all
the arduOus duties of his position, is a
great deal of society man.
Paul Gotzian was brought up in his
fathers business, and is now his
fathers worthy successor in the firm,
Conrad GotZian u Co.
Boeringer. the optician, has three
sons associated with him. He can take
life easy, knowing that his end of the
business world is being well kept up by
his heirs.
The book and stationery establish
ment of ID. d. Merrill will not be known
to one generation only. ID, ID. Merrill,
Jr., stands next to the head now, and
will perpetuate both the name and the
business when he shall have assumed
absolute control of affairs.
Thomas Lesser Wann takes entire
charge of the Wann property in St.
responsibility, travels abroad.
w. Frank Newell has not followed in
the footsteps of his father, but has only
adopted the latter'S style of walking.
He is civil engineer and an earnest
worker.
p. r. L. Hardenbergh's immense
leather and findings concern is largely
managed by Mr.. Hardenbergh's son, w.
Adams Hardenbergh. The old gentle
man spends great deal of his time in
travelling, leaving his affairs in his sons
hands.
There is probably no more popular
society man i'll st. Paul than Stanley
Proudfit. He has the distinction of
having figuring as
BEST MAN AT MORE WEDDINGS
than any other man in st. Paul. He is
as we'll and favorably known in the
commercial world as in the social, and
has lately been made assistant general
freight agent of the Omaha road.
A. II. Paget is English by birth, but
distinctly American by occupation. He
is the son of Lord Alfred Paget-that is
where the English comes in; he is a
busting ST. Paul real estate man-that's
where the American comes in. He is a
great favorite among the ladies, both on
account of his English dignity and Amer
lean ducats.
Manly B. Curry, another man promi-
nent in social circles, figures conspicu-
ously in the business world. He is a
successful dealer in real estate, and
though lately withdrawn from the mat
rimonial market, still makes his influ-
ence felt in the commercial.
Col. r. M. Newport occupies himself
chiefly with the duties of his position
as president of the Seven Corners bank,
and gives his Investment banking bust
ness up almost entirely to the efficient
management of his son, Luther E. New
port.
Richards Gordon, of the firm Gordon
& Ferguson, will have an able successor
in his son Charles w., who is now an
active, energetic member of the COM
pany.
j. H. Davidson, oldest son of the late
Commodore Davidson, is engrossed by
the management of his fathers vast eS-
tate.
John Chislett is only the figure head
OF the firm, Chislett q Sons, business
operations being carried on by his sons.
John Burke, for all there is money
before him, behind him and all around
him, is in trade, his energy and bust
ness ability in nowise impaired by the
wealth he will inherit.
