CHARLES BIGGERS WILSON The steps in the orderly progression of Charles Biggers Wilson are easily discernible and have brought him from the humble position of a machinist apprentice to official connection with some of the largest and most important corporation interests of Ohio, his particular activity being in connection with the motor car industry. The life story of such a man, with the record of successful achievement resulting from his overthrow of difficulties and obstacles and his steady advancement as the result of his perseverance and indefatigable energy, should serve as a source of inspiration and encouragement to others, showing what may be accomplished without special advantages at the outset of one's career. Charles Biggers Wilson was born in Warren, Ohio, February 19, 1872, a son of James A. and Isabella Wilson, and the public school system of Akron, Ohio, accorded him his educational advantages. The trend of his nature was along mechanical lines and he early became a machinist apprentice. The development and growth of his powers have been constantly manifest in the steady advancement which he has made in the business world. He has been closely associated with automatic machine development in connection with the printing and match business and with experimental development in the horseless carriage and automobile industry. He was associated for a time with the Wilson Foundry & Machine Company at Pontiac, Michigan, and this constituted the practice ground on which he qualified for later and more extended responsibilities and efforts in the business world. He TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY - 667 eventually became associated with the Willys-Overland Company at Toledo, Ohio, and something of the scope and importance of his activities is shown in the fact that he is now vice president and general manager of the Willys-Overland Company, is the president of the Wilson Foundry & Machine Company, is the president of the Willys Morrow Company, vice president and general manager of the Willys-Overland, Incorporated, vice president of the John N; Willys Export Corporation and vice president of the Overland Motor Company. Thus he is active in control of some of the largest and most important productive industries and commercial interests not only of Toledo but of Ohio and the country. His name is likewise known in financial circles through his connection with the American Savings Bank of Pontiac, Michigan, and the Pontiac Commercial Savings Bank of the same city. On the 2d of September, 1896, at Warren, Ohio, Mr. Wilson was united in marriage to Miss Lula C. Gairing, a daughter of Mrs. Mary Gairing. Their religious faith is that of the Presbyterian church. The military record of Mr. Wilson covers connection with the Curtiss Aeroplane Company of Buffalo, New York, as vice president in charge of operations in ten plants building aeroplanes for the United States and the allied governments during the World war. He is identified with many important trade organizations, belonging to the American Foundries Association, the Society of Automotive Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. His appreciation of the social amenities of life is indicated in his connection with various clubs and societies, including the Detroit Automobile Club, the Oakland County Club, the Toledo, the Rotary and the Inverness clubs, all of Toledo, the Old Colony Club, also of this city, the Bloomfield Hills Country Club of Birmingham, Michigan, and the Aviation Country Club of Oakland county, Michigan. He is a member of the Pontiac (Mich.) Chamber of Commerce and the Toledo Chamber of Commerce and he is keenly alive to all those interests which claim men's attention and activities--interests which make not only for business and material development but for social progress and municipal, advancement. He has at all times recognized public duty and obligation as well as private, and has never failed to respond to a merited call for assistance where the public welfare is involved. CHARLES A. SCHMETTAU Charles A. Schmettau, who in the practice of his profession has largely specialized in corporation law and has held many important professional relations, is now a partner in the firm of Brown, Geddes, Schmettau & Williams, recognized as one of the foremost law firms of Ohio. Mr. Schmettau was born in London, England, January 26, 1868, and received his early education in the schools of that city, while later he continued his studies in Lausanne, Switzerland. He afterward returned to London for the study of law and was admitted as a solicitor on the 2d of June, 1893. Attracted by the opportunities of the new world, he crossed the Atlantic in 1894, locating in Toledo on the 1st of January, 1895. Soon afterward he was admitted to practice at the Ohio bar and from the beginning displayed marked ability in the work of his chosen profession. In 1896 he was made assistant general solicitor of the Toledo, St. Louis & Western Railroad Company of which he later became general solicitor. He is a director of the Libbey-Owens Sheet Glass Company and vice president of the Owens European Bottle-Machine Company 668 - TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY and spends most of his time in Belgium, where the former company has. extensive interests. In 1896 Mr. Schmettau was united in marriage to Miss Ethel Everhard of Massillon, Ohio. He belongs to the Toledo Club and to the Country Club, and is a member and secretary of the Toledo Museum of Art. He also has membership in Trinity Episcopal church and his aid and influence are ever on the side of those agencies and forces which make for the uplift of the individual and the benefit of the community at large. WILLIAM E. CRATZ In the business world William E. Cratz was known as a most successful seeds-man and won a place among the representative merchants of Toledo, conducting his interests along successful lines leading to the constant expansion of his trade. Outside of business circles he was also well known by reason of his patriotic devotion to the welfare of his city and state and his open-handed generosity, which made ready response to any call of need. Mr. Cratz was born in Shanesville, Ohio, April 6, 1854, the son of Jacob and Drucilla (Ream) Cratz. Jacob, Cratz was born in Germany in 1824 and was a youth when he came to the United States. He embarked in the mercantile business at Shanesville in 1840 and continued there for a period of fifty years, or until 1890. His business was one of extensive proportions for the time and place, drawing a patronage from a wide section in that part of the state. Drucilla Ream, his wife and the mother of William E. Cratz of this review, was a daughter of Benjamin Ream, a pioneer merchant of Tuscarawas county, Ohio, and prominent in the early history of that county. He served as representative in the Ohio legislature and also did considerable local surveying. Benjamin Ream's ancestors came to America previous to 1709 and settled at what later became Reamstown, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, from which locality later generations migrated westward to Ohio. Mrs. Jacob Cratz was also a representative of a family distinguished in the church history of the country and was the last surviving grandchild of the Rev. Henry and Anna Marie (Ream) Geisey, the former a native of Saxony, who arrived in the new world in 1776 and assisted in founding the German Reformed church. He located first at Staunton, Virginia, and in 1792 went to Somerset county, Pennsylvania. As a pupil in the public schools of his native town William E. Cratz pursued his studies until he had mastered the common branches of learning and later he attended a commercial school in Philadelphia. He afterward became associated with his father and brother Henry in business, under the firm style of J. Cratz & Sons and the association was maintained until 1885, when the partnership was dissolved and William E. Cratz came to Toledo. Here he formed a partnership with Charles Stager, under the .firm name of Cratz & Stager, and they developed an extensive business as seedsmen, with warehouse at No. 40 South Erie street. In 1888 this partnership was dissolved and the firm of Cratz Brothers, seed merchants, was then formed with Henry and William E. Cratz as partners, their place of business being situated at Nos. 118 and 120 Ontario street, where they conducted their enterprise together until the death of Henry Cratz in 1905. The firm handled annually upwards of one hundred thousand bushels of clover seed and one hundred and fifty cars of timothy seed and their trade grew. constantly. Both were well known business men in Toledo and their accurate commercial methods placed TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY - 671 them in the front rank of Toledo's solid and reliable merchants. They solicited through correspondence and sent samples of seed on application and through progressive, modern business methods built up a large local and export trade. In 1915 William Cratz, then head and sole owner of the .business, erected a warehouse at Nos. 622-24 Southard avenue and he was instrumental altogether in building three different seed warehouses in .the city and in greatly promoting trade of this character in Toledo, thus contributing to the commercial progress and advancement of the community. He likewise became vice president and director of the Machine & Tool Company of Toledo and was regarded as an enterprising business man, farsighted, sagacious and progressive. At Shanesville, Ohio, on the 18th of August, 1878, Mr. Cratz was united in marriage to Miss Lydia A. Wyss, a daughter of Peter and Barbara (Horrisberger) Wyss, the former proprietor of a cooperage establishment at Shanesville. Mr. and Mrs. Cratz became the parents of two children : Benjamin A., who married Emma M. Schuh and is an artist of Toledo ; and Hazel E., who is the wife of Dr. Norris W. Gillette, a physician and surgeon of Toledo. The family circle was broken by the hand of death when on the 21st of July, 1917, William E. Cratz passed away. He was a devoted member of the First Congregational church, in which he served as trustee for many years and previously was for an extended period teacher of the Men's Bible class in the Marion Lawrance Sunday school of the Washington Congregational church. In politics he was an independent but neither sought nor held public office. Fraternally he was a veteran Mason of high rank, belonging to Sanford L. Collins Lodge, F. & A. M. ; Toledo. Commandery No. 7, K. T.; the Grotto ; and to the Scottish Rite body and the Mystic Shrine. He was also one of the oldest members of the Produce Exchange, being identified therewith for thirty-two years, or from the 4th of August, 1885, until his demise. Patriotism was one 'of his outstanding characteristics, as he always manifested a great love for his country and its flag. He was generous, unselfish, open handed and open minded and all who knew him prized his friendship because of his sterling worth of character. The family residence at No. 2150 Parkwood avenue was erected by Mr. Cratz in 1897. WILLIAM A. HOWELL William A. Howell, secretary, treasurer and manager of the Collingwood Brick Company of Toledo, has reversed the usual order of progression, having come from 'the west to the east, bringing with him that spirit of western enterprise and progress which has been a dominant factor in the upbuilding of the great section beyond the Mississippi. He has found such qualities equally effective in coping with the opportunities of business life on this side of the "Father of Waters" and his commendable course has enabled him to advance steadily toward the goal of success. Mr. Howell was born in Atchison, Kansas, February 29; 1864, and is a son of Daniel and Mary (Roland) Howell. The father was a native of Wales and came to the new world in early life. He took up civil engineering and was a rodman on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad, while subsequently he became chief engineer of construction with the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Company. He next held the responsible position of chief engineer of the Union Pacific Railway and in his later years he was construction engineer for a large bridge com- 672 - TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY pany. The positions which he held were at all times of an important character and gave evidence of his high standing and capability along the line of his chosen life work. He died in Toledo, where his widow still makes her home. She was born in New Albany, Indiana, and by her marriage she became the mother of a daughter and a son; Mrs. Cashin M. Foster of Toledo ; and William A. In his boyhood days William A. Howell attended the public schools of his native city and when a lad in his teens was brought to Toledo, where he continued his education in the Central high school. Here he joined the engineering staff of the Cloverleaf Railway Company, with headquarters at Toledo, and after a time he became associated with the Toledo A. & B.. Railway on construction work. He was next with the Barber & Starr Contracting Company for several years and then in connection with other representative business men of the city he organized the Collingwood Brick Company, to the growth and development of which he has since given all of his time and energy. As the. result of his labors, combined with the efforts of his partners in the undertaking, he has developed one of the large industries of the city and is the secretary, treasurer and manager. On the 18th of November, 1890, Mr. Howell was married to Miss Helen Augusta Acklin of Toledo, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Acklin, well known and prominent in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Howell have four children : Spencer A., born in Toledo, pursued his advanced education at Dartmouth College; Arthur Llewellyn was also a student at Dartmouth and is now a resident of California ; Helen was educated in the Smead School for Girls in Toledo and in the Mount Vernon Seminary and is now the wife of Mr. H. Greenhill of Toledo ; Virginia, the youngest, is attending the Smead School for Girls. Mr. Howell belongs to the Masonic fraternity, has taken the consistory degrees and has charge of the music in the Scottish Rite bodies. He belongs to the Toledo Club and much of the nature of .his recreation is indicated in the fact that he has membership in the Sylvania Golf Club. He is identified with the First Congregational church as one of its earnest and helpful members and for the past fourteen years has been leader of the choir. Gifted by nature with musical talent, his power in this direction has enabled him to add much to enjoyment in social and church gatherings. Alert and energetic, he has advanced step by step in his business career, his course at all times winning for him the commendation and respect of those with whom he has been associated, and his present position is a most creditable one, bringing to him a rich and merited remuneration. JOHN MILTON KILLITS John Milton Killits.; the editor of this work, was born in Lithopolis, Fairfield county, Ohio, October 7, 1858, of Danish and German ancestry. His preparatory education was obtained in the public schools of Bryan, Williams county, Ohio, and at Oberlin College.

JAMES SECOR The name of Secor is inseparably associated with the history of Toledo and has ever been a synonym for progress and advancement along all those lines which contribute toward higher ideals in citizenship and in public service as well as to the attainment of success in personal affairs. James Secor was one of the most prominent figures in the business life of Toledo, and his son, Jay K. Secor, became his worthy successor. The former was born December 11, 1834, in the town of Goshen, Orange county, New York, and was in the sixty-seventh year of his age when he passed away in Toledo, November 9, 1901. He was a son of Benjamin and Sarah (Ketcham) Secor and in the paternal line came of French ancestry, representatives of the name being among the Huguenots who because of religious persecution fled from France and sought the liberty of the new world, settling near New Rochelle, New- York. Through the maternal line James Secor was a representative of an old New England family. His father, Benjamin Secor, followed agricultural pursuits and in 1844 left the highlands of the Hudson river to establish his home in Lenawee county, Michigan. James Secor, then a lad of ten years, was- reared on the homestead farm in Michigan, attending the pioneer schools of that period and assisting his father in the development of the land to the age of twenty years, when, thinking to find better and broader business opportunities in the city, he left the parental roof and 674 - TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY made his way to Toledo, where his elder brother, Joseph K. Secor, had been successfully engaged in business for several years as senior partner in the firm of Secor, Berdan & Company, conducting a wholesale grocery house, the business having been originally established in 1836 by a maternal relative, Valentine H. Ketcham, who in 1854 retired from active business, being succeeded by Mr. Berdan, while the new firm assumed the style of Secor, Berdan & Company, with George Secor, a former employe, as one of the partners. In 1856 George Secor withdrew, the business being carried on by Joseph K. Secor and Mr. Berdan, without change in the firm name. In 1854 James Secor entered their employ as a clerk, ambitious to win for himself a creditable place in commercial circles. He therefore thoroughly applied himself to the tasks assigned him and had so developed his powers that in 1858 he was admitted to a partnership and became general manager of the business. At the same time Maro Wheeler and John B. Ketcham, former salesmen, became members of the firm. James Secor proved thoroughly adequate to the new duties and responsibilities that devolved upon him in directing the growth and controlling the trade of the house, which under his guidance remained for many years one of the foremost wholesale grocery establishments. in this part of the country. He continued as directing head for thirty years, retiring in 1888. With Mr. Secor's withdrawal from the wholesale grocery trade, he turned his attention to banking and was one of the organizers of the Union Savings Bank and the Union Safe Deposit & Trust Company, becoming president of both institutions. He also aided in incorporating the Merchants & Clerks Savings Bank, with which he was connected for several, years, and his was the first signature placed upon the charter of the Security Trust Company, of which he became chairman of the trust committee, requesting, however, that his son, Jay K. Secor, be elected director in his stead. He also incorporated the Woolson Spice Company, one of the largest manufacturing concerns of ,the kind in the country, and remained president thereof until his demise. He was one of the incorporators and a director of the Maumee Rolling Mills Company, which subsequently was purchased by' the Republic Iron and Steel Company, and many other Toledo institutions, both commercial and financial, claimed his cooperation and support and regarded his judgment as one of their most valuable assets. He was the vice president and one of the directors of the Northern National Bank in addition to the banking houses already cited in which he served 'as an officer. In all of his business career he was constantly looking to the future with regard to the upbuilding of the city rather than the improvement of his own fortunes. His entire life was a valuable element in the steady progress of Toledo and there was never a man more ready to respond to a call for public service than James Secor, if it did not bring him into the realm of politics. He had no ambition in that direction. Several times he declined nominations to important positions, yet he gave hearty and earnest support to the republican party because of his firm belief in its principles. In social circles Mr. Secor was widely and prominently known. He belonged to the Toledo Club, the Country Club and the Middle Bass Club and through these organizations he largely found his recreation. He also had membership in the First Congregational church, in which he was an active worker, serving for a number of years on its official board. He possessed a most charitable and kindly nature and his benevolences were many, but in his giving he followed the mandate not to let the left hand know what the right hand doeth. He was entirely free from ostentation and display, but the memory of his good deeds is cherished by many who knew him. TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY - 675 In January, 1867, James Secor was united in marriage to Miss Charlotte A. Steele, a daughter of the Hon. Dennison Steele of Toledo, and they became the parents of four children, all of whom have passed away, the last surviving member of the family being Jay K. Secor, whose death occurred on the 21st of February, 1921. For more than three-fourths of a century, however, the name of Secor has figured prominently in connection with the annals of Toledo and has ever been synonymous with that which is highest and best in citizenship, as well as in private life. EDWARD E. PHILLIPS A native son of Lucas county and a substantial business man of Maumee is Edward E. Phillips, who was born near the site of his present home on the 24th of January, 1861. His parents, William P. and Nancy (Jarvis) Phillips came into this locality when young and were married here. Mrs. Phillips' father brought his family from Pennsylvania to this region of Ohio at an early date. Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis died when their children were still small and the children were placed in the homes of neighbors who cared for them until they could go out into the world on their own account. Mrs. Phillips was taken into the home of John Taylor, an extensive landowner of Monclova township, this county. William P. Phillips came to Ohio from Rhode Island when a boy, in company with his parents, who died almost on the spot where their grandson, Edward, now lives at Maumee. They were the parents of quite a family, numbering several sons and two daughters, William P. being the youngest member of the family. In the acquirement of his education William P. Phillips attended the country schools in the vicinity of the home farm and when the Civil war broke out he put all personal interests aside and enlisted in Company C, of the Fourteenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He served in the ranks as a private under General Steedman and remained in service until the close of the war. He lost four fingers of his left hand by the accidental discharge of his gun, but he continued at his post as a soldier. He participated in the Battle of Mill Spring; Kentucky, Shiloh, Corinth and many others. At the close of the war Mr. Phillips engaged in carpenter and contract work and he achieved substantial success in that connection. Although a public-spirited citizen and a stanch republican he never sought nor desired public preferment. His demise on the 19th of March, 1896, came as a severe shock to his family and many friends, for he was held in high confidence and esteem by all who knew him. Mrs. Phillips died in 1869. To their union five children were born, Edward E. being the second in order of birth. He has one sister and one brother living: Ada, who is the wife of William Moser of Lucas county; and William, who is a resident of Wood county. Edward E. Phillips grew to manhood within a mile of his birthplace, in the community in which he has always resided. He attended the common sch000ls of the county, and when but seventeen years of age apprenticed himself to his father's trade. He worked with his father until his demise and since that time has engaged in contracting on his own account. His first job was for George Miller, when he razed the Miller home and erected a new one on the site. Under the tutorage of his father he became thoroughly familiar with every phase of the business and success came to him at the start. Among the many houses he has built are, the home of E. G. Evans of the. Western Shoe Company, which was for many years one of the most beautiful along the River road ; the homes of Miloa Turner, Thomas 676 - TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY Parkhurst, John Koch, Dr. Babber, W. S. Graves, Frank Rudzinski, John Meister, John Weeks of Maumee, William Farnsworth of Waterville, the Mary Campbell home there, and the conspicuous log summer home of W. S. Walbridge in Perrysburg. He also erected the Miami public school, added an important addition to the Waterville school, and has constructed many minor school buildings in this locality.. In addition to his contract work Mr. Phillips is a real estate dealer on a modest scale. The best principles of honesty and integrity have governed him in all transactions and his keen foresight and close application to the thing at hand have been dominant factors in his success. On the 20th of December, 1883, in Maumee, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Phillips and Miss Margaret Geneva Evans, a daughter of Frank Evans and Eliza (Steel) Evans. Mr. Evans came from Pennsylvania, and was married in Lucas county, Ohio. He engaged in the mercantile business for the greater part of his life and was a highly esteemed and respected citizen of the community in which he resided. He was a stanch supporter of the democratic party but was never active in public life. His demise occurred in 1881, in his fifty-ninth year and his widow passed away in 1885, at the age of sixty-three years. Three of their children are living: Belle, who is the wife of Frank B. Howard of Berkeley, California; Ellen, who married Hamilton Cook of Bowling Green, Ohio ; and Margaret, who is the wife of Edward Phillips. Mr. and Mrs. Phillips are parents of the following children : Ralph, who is assistant superintendent of the power house at Maumee, married Miss Nellie Huntsman and they have a son, Merlin ; Jewell died while superintendent of the Maumee power house. He was one of the popular young men of this community and his death was deeply regretted. He had married Miss Nettie Topliff, and they had two sons, Wallace and Lyle; Estella is the wife of Orville Whitney of Maumee and the mother of one son, Don ; Hal, the youngest member of the family, has recently become of age and is living at home with his parents.. He is identified with mechanical work in connection with his father's business. Since attaining his majority Mr. Phillips has been a republican and his first presidential ballot was cast for James G. Blaine in 1884. He served as councilman of Maumee for six terms or more and was a member of the board of councilmen at the time of the granting of the franchise to the Maumee Valley and Bowling Green Interurban companies, and the first pavement of the village was laid during his term of service. He retired at the close of the year 1920. He has always been public-spirited and during the administration of Mayor John A. Smith was a member of the committee on public affairs that arranged for and supervised the building of the waterworks and of the public hall of the village. ALBRO BLODGETT Albro Blodgett, president of the Blodgett-Beckley Company, is recognized as one of the leading commercial figures in Toledo. As chief executive officer of this institution he is conducting one of the largest and best known concerns specializing in teas and coffees in the middle west. Its Royal Garden Tea, Old Master Coffee and San Marto Coffee are household bywords and commodities. Albro Blodgett was born in Claremont, New Hampshire, November 18, 1864, TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY - 679 the son of Esther and Henry Blodgett, and one of six children. He attended the public schools and Dartmouth College for several years. In 1883 Mr. Blodgett came to Toledo, Ohio, where he entered the office of J. B. Keyes, a merchant broker, whom he succeeded in business, conducting it under his own name for a period of ten years. For the ensuing thirteen years Mr. Blodgett was a partner in the firm of Blodgett & Hassett. He sold out his interests, however, to assume control of The Bour Company, and for the next decade, or until the name was changed to The Blodgett-Beckley Company, he made it one of the leading firms of its kind in the state. Mr. Blodgett is president of The Blodgett-Beckley Company; Mr. Sewell W. Beckley is first vice president ; and Mr. Henry P. Blodgett, son of Mr. Albro Blodgett, is secretary-treasurer.

He is also a life member of the Art Museum. EDWARD J. LINDOW Edward J. Lindow, a typical citizen of Toledo, alert, energetic and enterprising, is engaged in the manufacture of furniture and for more than a quarter of a century members of the family have operated a business of this character in the city. He was born in Detroit, Michigan, August 15, 1877, and is a son of William and Elizabeth (Kittinger) Lindow, the latter also a native of that city, in which she was reared, educated and married. The father was born in central Europe and came to the United States with his parents, who located at Detroit. In the public schools of that city he obtained his education and afterward learned the cabinet-maker's trade. In 1876 he came to Toledo and entered the employ of the Connant Brothers Furniture Company, receiving a wage of a dollar and seventy-five cents per day, which was considered a very liberal compensation in those days. He remained with the concern for many years and was gradually advanced to positions of greater importance until he at length became superintendent of the plant. In 1896 he decided to embark in business on his own account and opened a small furniture factory on Huron street, conducting his manufacturing operations in the basement, while his stock was displayed on the ground floor of the building. His associates in the undertaking were Charles Shumaker and Charles Crook and in 1904 they decided to incorporate their interests, removing at that time. to No. 220 Superior street. These two partners later' withdrew from the business, selling their interests to Messrs. Liebus and Gershon, and the enterprise was successfully continued until 1912, when a disastrous fire wiped out all of the assets of the company, which had been carrying a very small insurance. Undismayed by this loss Mr. Lindow at once set about the task of rebuilding the business and about this time admitted his son, Edward J., to a partnership, the present firm style of the Lindow-Liebus 680 - TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY Company being then adopted. Removal was made to Albion street and they had just managed to regain their former status when their establishment was visited by vandals, who burglarized the place and then set fire to it. This would have been regarded as an overwhelming catastrophe by the average individual but with indomitable spirit Mr. Lindow and his son immediately began the work of recuperation and well merited success is rewarding their persevering efforts. Mrs. Lindow passed away in Toledo, January 11, 1913, leaving three children : William E., a resident of Buffalo, New York; Fred W., special agent at Toledo for the Union Central Life Insurance Company ; and Edward J. Edward J. Lindow attended the public schools of this city and after completing his education he joined his father in business and they have since been associated in the conduct of the Lindow-Liebus Company. They have forty employes and the energy, keen sagacity and well devised plans of the subject of this review have materially promoted the success of the firm. They are designers and manufacturers of high grade furniture and their name has long stood as a synonym for integrity, enterprise and reliability in business circles of Toledo. In Detroit, Michigan, on the 4th of June, 1901, Mr. Lindow was married to Miss Lillian Cherry, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Cherry of Toledo, and they have become the parents of two children, a son and a daughter.

LOUIS SAMUEL OTTENHEIMER In financial circles in Toledo, Louis Samuel Ottenheimer is a familiar figure and along many lines of business he has become widely and prominently known, his progressiveness and his initiative leading him into important relations, the public being a large beneficiary of his activity, while his own fortunes have also been greatly advanced thereby. Mr. Ottenheimer was born in Chicago, September 27, 1870, his parents being Leopold and Lena (Cassett) Ottenheimer. The father devoted his life to commercial pursuits, conducting a grocery business in that city for a number of years. Louis S. Ottenheimer became a pupil in the public schools of Chicago at the usual age, and mastered the work of successive grades until he had completed the high school course. He then started out in the business world as assistant in his father's grocery store, with which he was connected for seven years, gaining intimate knowledge of commercial methods and procedure. In 1900 he came to Toledo, where he entered into active association with the Cohen, Friedlander & Martin Company, of which he became secretary. This company was engaged in cloak manufacturing and developed a business of large proportions, with which Mr. Ottenheimer was closely associated in his official capacity until 1920, when he retired. In the meantime he had extended his efforts over a broad field in connection with financial affairs and real estate activity in Toledo. He is now the vice president of the Morris Plan Bank and one of the directors of the First National Bank. He is also treasurer of the Richardson Company, a director of the Toledo Mortgage Company and president of the Redfern Realty Company, which owns the Terminal building. His interests and investments are thus large and varied and in all things he displays a notable discrimination concerning the essential and the non-essential in business affairs. He has ever made quick response to the call of opportunity and has never hesitated where favoring advantage has pointed out the way. On the 7th of August, 1900, Mr. Ottenheimer was united in marriage to Miss Harriet Cohen, a daughter of A. S. Cohen. Mr. and Mrs. Ottenheimer have one son, Lester, usually known as Jack, who was born August 6, 1903, and is now a student in the Milford School at Milford, Connecticut. That Mr. Ottenheimer is interested in public welfare is indicated by his active service as treasurer and one of the trustees of the Toledo Hospital, which has benefited by his sound business judgment and capable management. He belongs to the Redford Club and to the Phoenix Club of Detroit and is particularly fond of a game of golf, to which he largely turns for rest and recreation. INDEX Acker, J. L. - 351 Adams, G.
