Greiner of Buffalo, Senator Davenport
Of Utica, and other Roosevelt leaders

the Masons of Mich.

The biography of Ammi w. Wright is the life
story. of who has attained the highest
a man can wish for in the realm of business. His
success has been far greater than that of amassng
huge fortune, it has been that OF man who has at

even greater than wealth-the love of his fellowmen
Ammi w Wrght's sterling integrity, his irreproach-
able business methods and his unstnted generosity
have won and kept for HIM the highest respect of
his business associates and the of his host
of friends. fA
No doubt Mr.. Wright's many admirable qualities
can be traced back to potent cause-good ancestry
He comes from good old New England stock that
every American is proud of. Nathan and Mary
Iamson Wright, his parents, were both born in the
state of Vermont and it there that their Son,

ed for about year. studying all the time the various
industries of the state all of which then in the
early stages of their development. In 1851 he went
further north finally settling in Saginaw and engag
ing in the lumber business. From now on begins
the story of his wonderful rise in industrial and COM

Mr.. Wright took up the lumber business at just
the moment when it on the start OF its marvellous
growth in the state. He entered into partnership
