BETTER THAN BOSS

THERE ARE q lot Of very

somebody else sign the checks and

perils of the man at the top. 1t
concerns seven unquestioned big

what subsequently befell them.
One was the chairman of what
was then the biggest independent

the president of the largest utility

wheat speculator. The fourth was
a member of the Presidents cab

was the head of the worlds great

around that table in Chicago's most

their careers wound up.

years of his life. and died broke.
The president of the utility COM

The greatest wheat speculator -
Arthur Cutten - also died abroad
