Heart attack ends career of Alexander Legge
Chicago dispatch reports Alexander Legge, 67, longtime leader of International Harvester and former chairman of the Federal Farm Board, died suddenly of a heart attack at his Hinsdale home. Known as the iron man for tireless work with farmers, he directed wartime industrial policy and served as director of industrial mobilization. Legge rose from farm boy to president of International Harvester in 1922, after stints with McCormick and Deering. He was born January 33, 1866, in Dane County, Wisconsin, and spent years in Nebraska and Illinois before his Chicago tenure. His death follows the passing of Edward N. Fouls. The report notes his wartime service and prominence at Versailles as Wilson’s economic expert.
