SAMUEL H-VENABLE.
T H*i STORY OF A SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESS CAREER.
the splendid success
Achieved by a persevering Effort-
How He Started With Noth
ing and Carved out hie
own Fortune—One
of the Most Suc
cessful Men In
the South.
Mr. Gordon Noel Hurtel, ef the At
lanta Journal h*s written a very inter-
e t : ng account of the manner in which
an Atlanta man carved out his fortune.
It is as follows:
From time to time it is within the
province of a newspaper to write of
men We are called upon to eulogize
great men and heroes when they have
passed from earth; or to write the
praises of living heroes who have won
renown, but the most pleasing task of
all whin writing the.biographies of men
it to record the success of a man who has
fought the battles of life single handed
and has reached, by bis unaided efforts,
a plane where he has gained wealth in
a material sense, and at the same time
is r'-sprct :d, honored and esteemed bv
his fellow mtn. I mean the history of a
successful business man.
The physician is honored for bis skill,
the lawyer for his learning and ability,
the clergyman for his piety and good
deeds; but it is the successful business
man wbo alone depends for bis suocess
ui on his tirelss ettorts, his brainy pro
jects and his unswerving integrity.
1 have looked around for the man
whom I could write about as the most
successful business man in Atlanta
And I have selected Sam Venable.
1 base my opinion of his success in
life not alone upon my own judgment,
bet also upon the estimate in which be
is held by the very foremost citizens
who have watched his career from his
earli jst boy-hood until the present day.
I have heard men praise him often as
a successful business man, and recently
when 1 decided to write a sketch of a
young Atlantian who could be regarded
as a fair example of what the energetic
and brainy young men of the South are
doing, I have take n occasion to get some
of the most prominent men of Atlanta
to give their estimate of Sam Venable
and his career in business circles. I
have beard, among the capitalists, snob
men as L B. 11 i-1, Paul Komare, R. J,
Lowry, Jacob Haa>-, W. A. Hemphill, J
W. English and C. A. Collier praise
him.
In mercantile circles Sam Venable is
regarded as a phenomenal success by
mch men as Beck & Gregg, Oglesby &
Meador, M - Rich & Bro , McKeldec &
Call ou, W. A Russell, E. W. Marsh
and M. C Kiser.
S' eh real estate men as A. S. Wilson,
G W. Adair, A. J. West, H. M. Scott,
a W. Goode uod H. F. Leake have said
to me that they regarded Sam Venable
as the most successful young business
man in the south, considering the op
portunities in early life.
Among the legal fraternity he has
w i m olmirers in such men as Judge
Johu L. Hopkins, Col. John T. Glenn
.Me-srs. Candler A Thompson, B H
A C. I> Hili, and E lis & Gray.
As in the legal profession, so in the
medical profession, his name is held in
(ugh esteem by the leading physicians
of the city, for such doctors as R. B
It dl y. G G Rov, N. Harris, Scott.
I'o.i ', Willis Westmoreland, J. F. Al
exander and W S. Elkin believe him
>o be tme of the brightest ornaments in
tb* business world of today.
Among the railroad men be claims
Among his friends Joe Brown, jr., J. L.
L’Ckey, E. A. Werner and C. E. Har-
Where can there be found in the
south a business man who has carved
out such afortnne for himself in the same
length of time?
Besides being half partner in the firm
of Venable Brother*, he is preside nt < f I
the Coldns brick c >mpany and yioo-
K 'sident of the Atlanta Exchange and
nking company.
He and bis brother own seven-ninths
of the old capitol building, and the
handsome granite livery stable on For
syth street, besides other valuable real
estate in the oily.
Besides possessing all the qualifica
tions going to make successful business
men of the world, this man is warm [
hearted, charitab'e and generous. Loyali
to his friends, and possessing the noble
traits of a gentleman, ne has endeared
himself to all who know him
Constant and close apppetton to
Modes*', as he is, be may recent the [
liberty I nave taken in selecting him as
the subject'’! this sketch. His gener
ous nature will perhaps grant forgive
ness, for I believe I have simply per
formed a duty both as a citizen and a |
journalist.
