with the founding of East Chicago has been noted. During its initial
year he started the Calumet Canal and Improvement Company and the
Standard Steel and Iron Company, the latter establishing the pioneer
industry of the locality ; more strictly speaking, it was the latter corpo-
ration, backed by General Torrence, which platted the City of East
Chicago in 1889."
