In this list there are ninety-nine names.
The Sun is quite willing that the ON
mittee or anybody else, between the Bat
terry and the Colder Gate should supply
the hundredth. Probably there are many
names in it Of whom many well-informed
people in the country never heard. All
however, belong TO Captains Of Industry.
Samuel W. Allerton is the largest grower
Of corn in the world. n. G. Larrimore
Is the largest wheat raiser in the United
States. Julius Runge. President Of the
Galveston Cotton Exchange. is the best
representative Of the cotton growers OF
the United States. while NJ. {. ID. Borden
Of New York must be ranked unquestion-
ably, as the largest cotton manufacturer.
Robert Knight Of Providence, Rhode Island.
Is the great cotton spinner of America,
while r. T. Wilson Of New York is the rep
preventative cotton merchant.
Colonel William Forsyth Of Fresno, Cal,
represents. probably, better than any
one else. the great fruit-growing industry
Of the Pacific slope. Everybody knows
that W. b. Duke is the American tobacco
king. Mr.. Weyerhauser OF st. Paul ought
TO be regarded as the proper representa-
tive Of the American lumber trade. He
owns a larger acreage OF standing timber
than any other one nan In the world. Will
liam b. Morse has been chosen 10 repre-
sent the shoe-making industry. He has
adopted in his factory the best foreign and
domestic methods in the making OF shoes.
or has improved on methods other than
his own, so that shoemakers agree that
TO him more than 20 any other one ma
is due the present state OF perfection 10
which the making Of shoes on a large scale
has attained in the United states.
Nothing need be said by way Of ident-
flying Irving NJ Scott the man who built
the Oregon" or Charles II. Cramp OF
the Cramp ship building conn any Of Phila-
delpbia or Nat Herreshor, who has taught
the world how to build yachts. The build
inc Of Yachts is too important an industry
not TO be recognized.
Duane II. Church is the man 10 represent
the watchmakers The matchmaking in
dus,rv. As carried on at Waltham, Mass
and M Flrin, H., has become enormous
Careful inquiry has brought out the fact
that because Of the genius Of Mr.. Church
displsyed in inventing automatic watch
making machinery, the whole industry
has been practically revolutionized. Be-.
cause Of MIR. Church's inventions. mora
watches can be made now in a day than
could have BEEN made a few years ago
in n month.
Generally Speaking, the United States
makes the machinery for the world. Al
President Of the great Allis- Chalmers Com
many. Ebert II Gary must represent the
makers Of miscellaneous machinery in the
United States. And Alongside him mus, no
placed Charles A Moore, Of the firm OF Man.
ming. Maxwell & Moore. who are proha hIv
the largest dealers in miscellaneous ma.
chinery in the world.
In electrical machinery, Charles A. Con3n
President Of the General Electric Connanv
and George Westinghouse, President of ~
Westinghouse Electric and Manufactu,na
Company. must he regarded as the hes, rane
re-entatives. though Westinghouse uor,a
have to have an invitation as an ipyentor
