Mr. Hutton's personal holdings in the corporation were relatively small (62,761 shares) and he drew no salary. Mrs. Hutton owns more than 500,000 shares, each of which pays her $1.80 in dividends annually.

...bare outlines of the building's steel skeleton. It was begun in 1899. It might have been run up last year. Louis Sullivan had no truck with arid, literal structuralism. He was not afraid to use decoration, loaded many a building with rich, vital, original design which he drew from the illustrations of plant morphology in Gray's Botany, a book he usually carried in his pocket.
