POTTER PALMER. FOREMOST AMONG THE
BUILDERS OF THE GREAT CITY OF CHICAGO.

e
Potter Palmer, .Anancier. merchant
prince and famous hotel keener, died
suddenly at his palace in Chicago May
4. The cause was heart failure In
duced by an attack of oedema of the
lungs. He took to his bed three weeks
ago and did not rise, though his death
was unexpected.
This man was one of the builders of
Chicago, one of its most prominent
property owners, and as merchant
he was nationally known. He was the
intimate daily associate of rich men,
and was himself millionaire. He
saw Chicago grow from village on
muddy fat to the second station
among American cities. In pre-war
days, during war days, after the great
fire, he never lost confidence in it.
