years ago was just about getting

porter on the New York Tribune the staff Of
which he left in 1894. Sometimes he went
back to newspaper work and reported col
iegiate boat races. On his leaving the realm
of journalism he became interested in the
reorganization Of commercial companies and
displayed such abilities that he was soon In
touch with heavy financial interests. His
progress from 1895 has been remarkable, for
ten years after leaving the newspaper shop

mordial progenitor Of the small cheap car
which bears his name went to Detroit
in 1888 as mechanic. He got good job
as a stationary engineer in an Edison power
house and built for himself house largely
with his own hands. He had never had so
much money in all his life, and so he kept
with his experimenting. There were
days Of long struggles over patents, and

years ago was entering upon his
- successful career in the smelling of
copper. 1t was rather by accident than by
design that the Guggenheims became inter-
ested in the mineral resources of the United
States. for they were originally in the lace
and textile trade. Their father Meyer Gug-
genheim, belonged TO one of a small group
Of Hebrew families who had settled in
Switzerland, and came with his sons TO reside
in Philadelphia. When he invested In few
shares OF Leadvile mining stock, In quite
an incidental way, his sons thought that
there was future in the mining industry

was, therefore, formed to take over the new
investments. and from II i'm 1901 developed
