JOHN w. GATES.

As a boy Mr.. Gates grew UP on an
Illinois farm near Turner Junction. At
school he showed remarkable aptitude for
learning anything which he particularly
wanted to know. His first work was
Clerlking in a small hardware store, Of
which he became manager at the age of
eighteen and a few years later, its pro-
prietor.
Through his hardware business he be-
came acquainted with a manufactures OF
barbed wire and was induced to take q
trip to Texas as a salesman. Barbed
wire was new thing. His trip was sue
cessful. Mr.. Gates saw the great possi-
bilities OF this article and he decided to
enter the business himself and his factory
at st. Louis proved profitable. When
competition got too strong Mr. Gates con-
ceived the idea of consolidating all the
barbed wire factories. In 1903 he became
president of the combination and also OF
the Illinois Steel Co.
Mr. Gates was noted principally because
of his stock speculations He was known
around the world as "Bet-yQu-a- million"
Gates and for many years was concerned
in every corner in wheat. AT his death
he left a fortune of forty million dol
lars.
