Excerpt from Men of Toledo: Those Whom You Meet in the Business and Professional Walks of the Commercial Key to the Lakes, 1895There is much reason to believe that the development of Toledo during the next ten years will more than fulfill the hopes and predictions of the men who many years ago took pride in referring to The Lady of the Lakes as the Future Great, and as this development depends upon the active merchants, manufacturers and professional men who now control the industrial and commercial activity of the city, it will be interesting to all keen observers to study the faces and speculate on the characteristics of these citizens. In a really representative selection more can be read in these faces than in all the maps and pictures that have found their way into print. Although we say Toledo, it may be more accurate to say Toledo and vicinity, for the interests of Toledo and the many thriving towns and villages of Northwestern Ohio are interdependent: the more these towns prosper the more prosperous Toledo will be.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
