Wright had not previously been en-
gagged in business, but had peen an ar
tist in New York and other eastern cit
les, gaining considerable reputation
through painting portraits of President
Lincoln and all the members of his
cabinet. Mr.. Morgan, who was his
son-in-law, had been q superintendent
for the Chicago Rubber Works, and
still earlier with the Akron Rubber
Works. The original business capital
Of the fir mwas $1,000. They become in
corporated under Illinois laws Dec. /,
1893, with capital stock Of 100000.
which was increased In January, 1898,
to 100000. The stockholders and di-
rectors were Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan, and
Mr.. Wright, the latter filling the posi-
tions of secretary and treasurer. The
company had IL prosperous career from
the beginning, building up very large
trade In the Morgan & Wright tires.
