Frank O. Anderson 



President 



Empire Case Goods Company 



Jamestown, N. Y. 



HOUGH he was born in Sweden some fifty years ago, Frank O. Anderson, presi- 

 dent of the Empire Case Goods Company of Jamestown, N. Y., came to America 

 when a lad of sixteen and ever since has been a typical American, giving his full 

 allegiance to America and American institutions, while holding in affectionate remem- 

 brance the land of his nativity. He went back to this distant Scandinavian land last sum- 

 mer, taking with him his 100 per cent American family to show them the old home site, 

 where they spent some time visiting relatives and friends of his childhood days. 



Mr. Anderson's first employment on coming to America was on a farm near James- 

 town. But when he was twenty-one he went into the city and got a job in a furniture fac- 

 tory, where he soon, by his skill, energy and judgment, attracted attention. Some years 

 later a bankrupt furniture factory fell into the hands of a local bank. Frank O. Anderson 

 came forward and told the bank he could save their property and make good their loss. 

 The management of the bank believed he knew what he was talking about and they told 

 him to go ahead. He made good and in a few years the factory was his and all paid for. 

 Under his management this once bankrupt institution began to grow and it is still at it
