Become Heads of Great Chicago
Corporations.
(By Associated Press Leaaed Wirel

10Y Associated Press Leased Wire)
Chicago. Two of Chicago's self-made
men today sat on the mahogany pin
nacle of the business leader in their
respective lines. They were James
Simpson, new president of the Marshall
Field & Co., and F. Edison White, new
president of Armour & Co.
Two others, one only partially self
made due to the handicap" of COM
parative wealth left by his father, re-
linquished some of their burdens to
the new shoulders. They were. John G.
Shedd and j. Ogden Armour, who be-
came chairman of the boards Of direc-
tors respectively of the Field and Ar
mour companies.
J. Ogden Armour was born in Mil
waukee and inherited a fortune from
his father, the late P. d. Armour, who
established the packing business. Mr..
Armour has seen the business grow
until its capital stock is more than 100
times what it was in the beginning.
Mr.. Armour's financial and industrial
enterprises are many and varied. Like
other business men, he has made and
lost fortunes and once was said to have
lost more money than his father left
him. The annual gross business of
Armour & Company is around a billion
dollars.
In addition to the business of Ar
mour & Co., Mr.. Armour will devote
his time to his other business enter
prises. He is director of the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & ST. Paul Railway, the
National City Bank of New York, the
Continental & Commercial Bank of
Chicago, the Hibernian Banking asso-
citation of Chicago, and the Northwest
ern & National Insurance company OF
Milwaukee.
