rOHN W. GATES has sometimes
been said to typify in his person
ality and his career the predoml-
nant characteristics of those
who made the great west what it now
is a certain aggressive, persistent
domineering characteristic. which is as
sociated with what is sometimes called
che "hustling' gift, and picturesque
often dramatic, manner of taking very
large chances on what seems to be
gambler g risk have now, for nearly a
quarter of a century, consplcuousiy
identified Mr.. Gates with those who DO
large things in a very venturesome
way, and with those who beginning
with nothing have taken advantage OF
opportunity and created great fortunes
for themselves and for others.
Mr.. Gates, however, cannot be con.
sidered as more typical of the west
than was the late Colonel James FISK
OF the east. Colonel Fisk was a plum.
ger. born with a gift for gambling IN
stocks and securities and of seizinG
opportunities and making the most OF
them. In the east, and especially in
his home state of Vermont. he was
called splurger: and whether he was
peddling his wares in the villages OF
Vermont and northern New York or
whether be was dominating speculation
in the Erie railroad, he was like ship
under full sail flying before a great
breeze and making haste to reach port
with her cargo
The qualities which have dlstin-
guished Mr.. Gates, or at least have
made him very conspicuous in the pub
lic eye for the past quarter of cen
tury, arc those which have been char
acteristic of much of American enter
prise. and especially that kind of en-
terprise which is occupied with devel-
opiug natural resources and taking ad-
vantage Of new opportunities.
Mr.. Gates, who has gained wide no.
toriety as one of the great American
pungers. nevertheless was always pos
sessed Of greater qualities than those
which inspire a man TO take gambler S
chances, and ii is a fact that his spec
tacular achievements as plunger are
mere incidents OF a career which has
been characterized by shrewd, wise and
patient business methods.
In the first place, Mr.. Gates is to be
numbered in the comparatively small
list of very great American salesmen.
II requires peculiar temperamental and
intellectual power to gain recognition

said of the late II. O. Havemeyer that
his greatest ability>was that Of mer-
chant; that he was able to sell goods
In vast amounts and at profitable fig.
ures, and in addition to that, had ac-
quired amazing skill in the manufac-
ture OF the commodity which he sold.
John w. Gates, before ne was 80
years of age, ranked himself among the
greatest of American salesmeu. 1t was
an inborn capacity. His training was of
the slightest. He never saw the inside of
a bank until after he was 80, his sole
dealings with banks being from the out
side of the railings He was brought
occasionally into close touch with some

His schooling was slight. He was

IS55-when Chicago was still not mnch
more than a struggling city feeling It's
wav to it's opportunities-was farni
wholly remote from such city life as at
that time characterized Chicago. His
father had opened in this little village,
called Turner Junction, but now West
Chicago, q little hardware store: and
young Gates himself in the late seven,
ties became the owner and general
salesman Of this little shop.
The railway operatives used some
times 10 halt at Turner Junction, They
made the acquaintance of young Gates
James D. Laying, who for some years
was the general manager of the Chicago
& Northwestern railroad and one OF the
abest railway managers OF ms ume
did not fail whenever he had an hour OF
two of time at Turner Junction to cal
unon Young Gates. He discovered IN
the storekeeper n man of kcenress and
business judgment, good deal of orig
inal and intuitive capacity for trading
grasp Of the opportunities that were
opening up in some parts Of the west
and especially Of the southwest, for
yonng man of energy, OF keen judgment
and of ambition to forge ahead
One hot summer day in the late sew
enties Mr. Laying, being delayed al
Turner Junction for two or three hours
thought that he could pass the tim'
agreeably by chatting with John "
Gates. He found the young hardware
dealsr standing at the doorway of BIZ
shop -,
He was in his shirt sleeves, He
seemed to be in a curious condition ol
mind; half despairing and half hope
full.
He said to Mr.. Laying that there wa'
little or no chance for shopkeepcr II
that little village, and he felt that h
was stagnating. He had about mad'
up his mind to become a salesman and
as he had heard there were grea
ranches in Texas that were only await
ing the advent of the newly inyente'
barbed wire to make them profitable
in the sense that these fences woulc
prevent the straying Of cattle, Il
seemed to him that his chance lay II
going to Texas and offering barbe'
wire to the great ranchmen there.
A year OF two later Mr.. Laying hear'
Of the somewhat amazing success o
the young barbed wire salesman il
Texas. He had persuaded the ranch
men that it was to their advantage t.
buy barbed wire in large quantities
He had made friends with all the deal
ers in the state. He had already beel
recognized as the most successful com
mercial traveller who had ever entere'
the state Of Texas pusPosing to occup.
the entire field.
Mr. Gates undoubtedly could hav
accumulated a large fortune througl
his yearly savings had he chosen to re
main salesman, He was of that clas
of statesmen who prefer to take thei
pay in commissions. His fees of tba
kind would have been very large, an
