Schwab rises to lead Carnegie Co. as steel trust forms
Charles M Schwab, born in 1862 and later in Braddock and Homestead, climbs from mailroom to president of the Carnegie Company and potential head of a new 1 billion dollar steel trust under Morgan. He amasses 15,929 shares and about 60,000 in bonds, with a near 50 million implied equity if Carnegie stock soars. The long ascent spans his youth in Loretto to key roles under Carnegie, Frick, and leadership during a major corporate reorganization.
