Life of Chicago innovator John Gates at fifty
Chicago May 18. John Wy Gates, long a public figure for bold speculation, marks his fiftieth birthday today. Born near Chicago at Turner, he rose from farmer’s son to railroad agent, then engineer of a threshing machine, later founding the Southern Wire Company of St Louis in 1889 as its president. The firm preceded American Steel and Wire and later merged into United States Steel, adding millions to Gates’ wealth. He spends much time in New York and Milwaukee, but remains Chicago’s home.
