WILLIAM J. ADAM, Secretary and Treasurer of the Joliet Paper Company, is a 
native of Joliet, and is classed among the most intelligent and enterprising 
of its young business men. He was born in this city, September 18, 1852. Here 
in the city schools he laid a solid foundation for his future career. After 
attaining manhood, he first entered the business world through the doors of 
his father's flouring mill, which stood where the paper mill now stands. In 
1887 he began the manufacture of barb wire and such line of goods, in company 
with his father, and they have already built up a thriving business, from 
which they derive a desirable income. Mr. Adam and Miss Lizzie Folger, were 
wedded November 28, 1874, and to them has come one child, whom they have named 
Folger. Mr. Adam is a thoughtful, clear-headed, energetic man, of good 
personal habits, and is highly considered by all about him, both socially and 
as a business man. He is a leading member of the Central Presbyterian Church, 
of which he is Trustee, and in politics gives his allegiance to the Republican 
party.
