Dot

Cowperwood
,
"
Mr.
Gotloeb
told
several
of
his
partners
,
rubbing
his
hands
and
smiling
.
"
I
shouldt
like
to
meet
him
.
"
And
so
Cowperwood
was
manoeuvered
into
the
giant
banking
office
,
where
Mr.
Gotloeb
extended
a
genial
hand
.
"
I
hear
much
of

"
he
explained
,
in
his
semi-German
,
semi-Hebraic
dialect
,

Cowperwood
smiled
his
most
ingenuous
smile
.
"

The
great
external
element
in
Cowperwood
's
financial
success
--
and
one
which
he
himself
had
foreseen
from
the
very
beginning
--
was
the
fact
that
Chicago
was
developing
constantly
.
What
had
been
when
he
arrived
a
soggy
,
messy
plain
strewn
with
shanties
,
ragged
sidewalks
,
a
higgledy-piggledy
business
heart
,
was
now
truly
an
astounding
metropolis
which
had
passed
the
million
mark
in
population
and
which
stretched
proud
and
strong
over
the
greater
part
of
Cook
County
.
Where
once
had
been
a
meager
,
makeshift
financial
section
,
with
here
and
there
only
a
splendid
business
building
or
hotel
or
a
public
office
of
some
kind
,
there
were
now
canon-like
streets
lined
with
fifteen
and
even
eighteen
story
office
buildings
,
from
the
upper
stories
of
which
,
as
from
watch-towers
,
might
be
surveyed
the
vast
expanding
regions
of
simple
home
life
below
.
Farther
out
were
districts
of
mansions
,
parks
,
pleasure
resorts
,
great
worlds
of
train-yards
and
manufacturing
areas
.
In
the
commercial
heart
of
this
world
Frank
Algernon
Cowperwood
had
truly
become
a
figure
of
giant
significance
.
How
wonderful
it
is
that
men
grow
until
,
like
colossi
,
they
bestride
the
world
,
or
,
like
banyan-trees
,
they
drop
roots
from
every
branch
and
are
themselves
a
forest
--
a
forest
of
intricate
commercial
life
,
of
which
a
thousand
material
aspects
are
the
evidence
.
His
street-railway
properties
were
like
a
net
--
the
parasite
Gold
Thread
--
linked
together
as
they
were
,
and
draining
two
of
the
three
important
"
sides
"
of
the
city
.
