on attaining his majority, he entered
into business on his own account in the
town of Sutton. Here he remained four
years with increasing success, and
then returned to Worcester, where he
continued in the manufacture of meat
products the enterprise assuming Such
proportions that within a few years he
esta blished branches in New York, Al
bany. Troy Hartford, New Haven,
Springfield. Taunton and other places.
He employed a large number of men,
and his business became one Of the
most important of it's kind in New Eng
land.
Mr.. Taylor has had, from the time
that he became a permanent resident
of the city, a strong faith in the pros
uective and continual growth of Wor-
cester, which he has evinced by extern
sive investments in real estate, until he
is now the largest individual owner and
the heaviest tax payer in this commu-
nifty. He has erected a large number
of business and industrial buildings in
and around the centre of the city, prin-
cipaIly on Main and Front streets, and
now owns more than one-half the struc-
lures on the last-named thoroughfare.
He built the first five-stOry the first
six-stOry and the first seven-story
blocks in Worcester, and has always
kept in advance of the growth of the
city, influencing advancement by pro-
vfding the requisite accommodations
for the expansion of business before
the necessity was apparent to the aver
age observer. This prophetic sagacity
has worked greatly to his own mate
rial advantage, as it has to the advan-
tage of the city at large. To all prop
ositions for public Improvements, Mr..
TAYLOR gives his firm support, as he
believes that collective and individual
interests are inseparable. His clear in
sight. sound judgment and exceptional
ability in the management Of financial
transactions are continually manifest
ed and universally recognized. He has
been connected with the First National
Bank of Worcester for many years, and
is interested in other moneyed institu-
tions in the city.
Mir. Taylor has been an ALBANIAN and

Sketches of Some of Wor-
cester's Wealthiest
Men.

How many millionaires are there in
Worcester?
There are very few men who have
information enough on the subject to
answer the question off-hand with
anywhere near exactness. They could
probably be counted on the fingers of
ones hand.
Inded, so could the millionaires. They
might run over a finger or two on the
other hand, but no more; and if mil
lionaires club should be formed here
it would be a long time before its mem
bership roll would reach a bakers
dozen.
But there are a half dozen gentle
men in Worcester, any one of whom
could get the cash on his individual
check if he should write half dozen
ciphers beyond the first figure. Indeed
one of them doubled the million marx
in an individual gift. Jonas G. Clark
gave $4,000, 900 when he founded the Ia
nous university that bears his name.
Hon. Stephen Salisbury has distrio-
uted his dollars as quietly ana unosten-
tatiously as Mr.. Clark. Of course, no
one but Mr.. Salisbury knows how much
he has given for philanthropic pur-
poses; but it is reasonably certain that
it has been up in the hundred thou-
sands. and it would be no matter OF
wonderment to those VINO know MN
best to learn that his gifts had come
close to the million dollar limit.
So far as the assessors DOCKS snow o.N
and, ordinarily, they are but OF lttIe

hall.

was once a candidate of the democratic
party for councillor, but his extensive
property interests have prevented hlm
from devoting much time to politics.
He is a lover of horses and the owner
of several equine specimens of choice
pedlgrees, the exercising of which gives
HIM much pleasure. He is a man OF
powerful physique and strong powers OF
endurance, which enable him to under
take and perform labor and RESPONSE
bility that few men are equal to.
Mr.. Taylor has been twice married;
first, to Mary Louise Chase of Sutton,
and in whose memory is named the
largest of the buildings erected by him;
and second, to Mary S. Stevens of New
ton. He is the father of three sons and
three daughters. He lives at the south
end of the city, in a fine mansion of
colonial style, which is one of the most
beautiful residences in that section.

other investments, preliminary, it
would seem, to the grand object in
view of locating here the university
which he had in mind. The details of
his plan he made public in 1887, and
the transfer to trustees of the site and
the erection of the buildings followed,
and the university was opened October
2, 1899 To sustain the institution he
provided the munificent endowment Of
81, 000, 900.
The purpose of the university is to
afford means and opportunity for the
highest education and original re-
search. Unlike any other university, 1t
has no distin ctively undergraduate de-
partments. 1t aims to increase the sum
of human knowledge, and transmits the
highest culture of one generation to the
ablest youth of the next.
The above is only one of Mr.. Clark S
benefactions. To his native town he
has given a fine library and town build
ing, which he has supplied from time
to time with books and other accesso-
ries His private library of rare books
will become the property of the uni
versity.
Mr.. Clark presents an example OF the
strong New England character IN
which thrift and shrewdness are com
bined with breadth of view, ability TO
achieve and execute, a purpose TO pc
stow upon mankind the results OF IN
dividual effort and earnest endeaVof,
of which his is not the only instance.
