In this connection he bends his efforts to administrative direction and his keen judgment and the soundness of his business methods are manifest in the splendid results which have attended his undertakings. Mr. Adler is one of Cincinnati's native sons, born in 1869, his father being William Adler, the founder of the Fairmount Woolen Mills, of which the son is still president. The father was a native of Germany but the belief that better business opportunities were afforded in the new world led him to bid adieu to friends and native country and sail for America. He became a resident of Cincinnati about 1854 or 1855 and with his brother Isaac, founded the Fairmount Woolen Mils, which he conducted successfully for many years, this growing industry becoming one of the important manufacturing concerns of the city. He remained a valued and representative businessman here to the time of his death, which occurred in 1903. Milton Adler was reared in Cincinnati and attended the local schools, being graduated from Hughes High School in 1887. He afterward spent a year or more in the University of Cincinnati and liberal education thus qualified him for many of the practical and responsible duties which have since devolved upon him. He entered business circles as a clerk for the wholesale dry-goods house of the George W. McAlpin Company and there remained for a year and a half, after which he became a partner in the firm of Mayer Br4others & Company, wholesale dealers in liquors. In that business he continued until 1893, when he became Vice President of the Julian - Kokenge Company. His attention has since been concentrated upon the work of office management. For intricate commercial problems he finds quick and ready solution and his judgment is seldom if ever at fault. He possesses, too, the definite aim and determined purpose that enable him to carry forward to successful conclusion whatever he undertakes, and he is recognized in business circles as one of the strong representatives of commercial affairs. Mr. Adler has won in social circles equal favor with that accorded him in business life. He is a popular member of the Phoenix Club, the Country Club and the Business Men's Club and other organizations. In matters of citizenship he stands for that which is practical and progressive, desiring the best interests of the community. He does not seek nor care for office but in business circles is leaving his impress as one of the foremost factors of the community. --------OHFOOTSTEPS Mailing List--------
