from 1861 to 1869; and since 1869 a member of the banking.bouse ofRichardson, Hill &. Company.

Mr. Hill may be said to have graduated at the University of Literature,the Boston btjok store-and to have ,taken a, post graduate course in thewholesale business of publishing books.

Richardson, Hill & Company soon became identified with importantfinancial enterprises, factors in the development and extension of the busi-ness and commerce of Boston, Massachusetts, and the United States; andwon and held a national and international standing and reputation for busi-ness sagacity and soundjudgment. Great undertakings on land and sea havebeen promoted by them, guided in their course until they became dividend-payers and safe`and solid investments. Tbe offer by the house of stocksand bonds for sale has been a guarantee to the public of their present orcertain future value.

Among the men who conduct the great business interests of Boston, heranks as a man of great ability, undoubted integrity, and sound judgment.Like his ancestors in the several generations in this country he has been aleader of men, if not in war, in the great industrial enterprises where leader-ship and generalship ar: of the utmost importance to ultimate success o[ anundertaking. Like other successful commanders he haLs won his ba,ttles bythe wise selection of his aides and staff.

Aside from his great banking interests Mr. Hill haLs bald many outlets forhis energy and executive ability. In 1875 with his father he came into con-`trol of the Boston and Bangor Steamship Company, at a time when its

stock had a market value of one-quarter of its face value; and for twenty-five years thereafterwards, as managing director, treasurer, and president, hedirected the affairs of the company and placed its business on a soundfoundation, put its stock far above par, built wharves and store-houses,added great steamers cif the best modem type to its fleet, gaLined avast freight and passenger trafic, established a corps in charge of the bust-.ness dependent upon merit for promotion, and from captain to deck-hand loyaland devoted to company's interests.

Mr. Hill and his father had the courage to embark in the steamboatbusiness in 1882, undertaking to reorganize the Boston and Bangor line andto make it an importaLnt factor in the developement of trade and commerce.What he undertook to do he did well; and upon the incorporation of theEastern Steamship Company in 1901 he had reason to have pride in whathad been accomplished under his management. The Bangor line becamethe model of the new corporation.
