General Notes: Husband - Cyrus Hall Adams

---

The success of the business of the firm McCormick, Adams & Co., after the Chicago fire of 1871, was due, largely, to the energy, ability and integrity of Cyrus H. Adams. For a period of more than twenty years he was an active and influential member of the Board of Trade of Chicago. The reforms and radical changes made by him almost revolutionized the business methods of the Board, and established a security in its transactions, which were only of incalculable value, but an admitted means of progress and extension of the trade, that would scarcely have been possible under

its old methods.
