Book Description
Excerpt from The Book of Chicagoans: A Biographical Dictionary of Leading Living Men of the City of Chicago; 1911 The Book of Chicagoans was first published in 1905. During the intervening years it has found a prominent place in thousands of business offices and homes in Chicago and elsewhere and its usefulness as a reference book has become widely recognized. In fact, it has been the only book to which one might turn for trustworthy information about practically all the leading men of the city. At the libraries it has been consulted more frequently than any other local reference book, and in newspaper offices it has been regarded as a positive necessity. A new edition, revised and brought down to date, has been called for and the present volume is presented as the best possible response to that demand. This edition contains many names not listed in the earlier issue - names unavoidably overlooked in a first edition, as well as a large number of others who have come into prominence since the first edition was printed. The work of revision has been painstaking and thorough. Not only have many new names been added but each of the original sketches has been rewritten in order that the best possible arrangement of the data for easy reference purposes might be secured. A casual examination of these pages will disclose not only the presence of many new names but also the absence of a considerable number of sketches which appeared in the earlier issue. The omissions are accounted for by reason of death (The Book or Chicagoans being confined to living men only), removals from the city, impossibility to find present addresses, and a few because they are no longer regarded of sufficient importance. The names of those whose life-sketches appeared in the first edition but who have died or been dropped for various reasons, have been inserted in this volume in their original alphabetical place, with a reference to the volume of 1905 in which the biographical sketch appeared, and, if deceased, the fact has been noted, with the date of death when known.
