prominent business men and reference is
made Of his connection with the local
street railway as follows "In later years
he became involved in the ownership and
management 90 tho st. Adams Street
Railway 60. This latter venture proved
decidedly disappointing to Mr.. Marble

ing his years of close attention to bust
ness. The 81. Adams street Railway CO.

WAS represented to Mr., Marble when his
attention was first drawn To it, Mr.
Marble, however, became So deeply IN,
