MoRGAN's MASTER STROKE.
Morgan knew nothing OF steel. and no
cared less. He saw only the possibility
Of great financial undertaking. He had
a tremendous advantage to start with.
The Carnegie Company was read to be-
used as the chief magnet for the public
purse and ,wherewith to attract the lesser
enterprises. But the sly scotchman, Car
negie had to be dealt with. He had more
than Ss,oo0,ooo worth OF the company's
stock. the par value Of which was $1,000
share, and which, It is said. had been
worth halt as much again. A price had
to be agreed on to pay the great iron.

the negotiations in very bad condition.
When he handed over his property he
had cash and bonds-which secured the
property to hin-thnt would yield him an
income Of about $4,000 900 year.
This accomplished, Mr., Morgan looked
to bringing IN the other concerns. Seven
companies had to be considered-the Fed

capitalization Of 500 100000; the Amerl.

HOW THE FIRM GREW.
The undertaking couauctcd under the
title OF the Carnegie Steel Company had
its beginning in 1861 in the firm OF Car
negte G. Illoman. The active mind OF
Carnegie assisted by his brother. the late
Thomas Carnegie. and the well directed
efforts Of Henry Phipps. Jr.. George La n

prestige and success. And In 1916 the firm
Of Carnegie & Kloman was succeeded
by that OF Carnegie Bros Co. Carnegie

the various firms and companies were
consolidated under the style OF the Car

aggregate paid up capital OF se5.0oo,ooo.

It was at this stage OF the proceed-

tunes had been made before that tune.
Not only Carnegie. but many Of his en-

position where with few millions OF dol
