1859. after graduating at Brown uni
versity, Providence, r. l., he entered
the employ of Page Richardson & Co.
of Boston, which firm was extensively
remained for three years, visiting Eu-
rope in the interests of the house in
1860. Later he started in a similar
business for himself in New York city,
following it successfully for nine years.
From 1868 to 1871, in addition to his
large personal business enterprises, Mr..
Colby, with his brother. Joseph L. Col
by, had charge of the large government
bonded warehouse, where impOrtatiOns
of foreign goods entering the port Of
New York were held in bond.
1t was in 1870 that Mr.. Colby became
interested in the building of the WisCon-
sin Central and in 1913 he was elected
vice-president of the corporation. AS
one of the heaviest stockholders he trans
ferred his business energies to the devel-
opment of that enterprise, removing to
Milwaukee in 1874, where he continued
70 reside until three years ago. In
1879 he was elected president of the
Central company, succeeding his IA
Their. Gardner Colby, upon the death
of the latter. 1t was to the bust
ness energy, sagacity and devotion to
every interest that the success of the
Wisconsin Central was largely due, and
it was through is efforts and faith IN
Wisconciu that railroad was pushed
through the great forests of Northern
Wisconsin. opening up one of the most
extensive lumber and mining sections in
the Northwest.
In addition to his eXtens1ye rallWay
and mining interests, Mr.. Colby was
largely interested in private matters and
was regarded as a man of considerable
wealth. He was a gifted speaker and
had the happy faculty of presenting
scheme in a manner which carried con-
viction with his every assertion and
claim. but he never took advantage of
this magnetic power to hoist upon the
people schemes that were liable to turn
out gigantic failures and money losers.

And jess keep a-writin' fer men.

With both OF my feet on the GROUND.

couldn't write one eft tried,
And put all the folderols on 1t
Without gittin' somepin inside.
Fer 1 understand eff you fix 1t
To sell to big magazine,
you've got to so fuzzle and mix 1t
AT no one kin tell what you mean.

Through sorrowful caverns O. fog;

Right there like bump on log.

And jes' keep a-writin' fer men,.
