The Life and Times George W. Ely, (1840-1922)
No Customer Reviews
One of the Greatest Secretaries In History. GEORGE W. ELY was born January 6, 1840, in West Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1857, at 17, he enlisted in the Seventh Regiment of the New York National Guard. George William Ely was a soldier in the Civil War and watchdog of the New York Stock Exchange, a towering figure in both fields. George W. Ely, as Secretary of the Stock Exchange, was designated generally in outer circles of Wall Street as the man who "owns" the Big Board. When anyone ever violated the strict rules of the Exchange Ely was the man who would apply judgment. Upon his death the New York Times of August 22, 1922 says it all: "No more characteristic figure in the New York Stock Exchange of a quarter century ago could be named than George W. Ely. This book was edited by my cousins George W. Ely, III, and William D. Hawkins.
