Text Appearing Before Image:
eir home in New Yorkcity, where they have a large and appreciative circle of friends,and are interested in social affairs in a commendable degree. Mr. Sopers success in business has been attained through theforce of personal merits, put forward through persistent andearnest labor. He possesses more than the average store ofphysical and mental energy, and is abundantly endowed withthose elements of integrity, generosity, and loyalty which com-mand the respect and confidence of all who know him. Hewould doubtless have won success in any calling, but did so themore surely because of his persistent devotion to the one chosenby him for his life-work. Mr. Sopers two brothers mentioned above, are still at thehead of the Soper Lumber Company. They long ago removedits chief offices from Rome to Chicago, and through the exer-cise of sagacity, enterprise, and energy, they have made it oneof the great industries of that city, and one of the foremostconcerns in the lumber trade of the entire West.
