ELLSWORTH MILTON STATLER (* October 26, 1863, † Somerset County, Pennsylvania; † April 16, 1928 in New York City) was an American hotel owner. He laid ground for the Statler chain in 1907, when he built his first major hotel in Buffalo, New York. Different from the standards at that time, every room had a private bath or shower and running water. The famous slogan “The Guest is Always Right” can be traced back to E.M. Statler.

E.M. Statler is being mentioned in the author’s preface list of Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” only.

“There are three things that make a hotel famous – location, location, location.”

E.M. Statler

HENRY LATHAM DOHERTY (* May 15, 1870 in Columbus, Ohio; † December 26, 1939 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) was an American oilman and utilities expert. Henry L. Doherty was 12 years old when he left school to work for the Columbus Gas Company. A homemade self-education program and his continuing diligence let him become chief engineer only 8 years later. In 1910, he founded the Cities Service Company, a New York-based holding company which ultimately controlled more than 200 utility firms. After a major company restructuring in 1983 Cities Service Co. was re-branded as CITGO.

Henry L. Doherty is being mentioned in the list of the author’s preface in Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” only.

“Those who do the most for the world’s advancement are the ones who demand the least.”

Henry L. Doherty

CYRUS HERMAN KOTZSCHMAR CURTIS (* June 18, 1850 in Portland, Maine ; † June 7, 1933 in Wyncote, Pennsylvania) was an American publisher and major philanthropist. In 1866, his family home had burned down in the Great Fire of Portland and C. H. K. Curtis had to leave high school after the first year. For 6 years, he worked for several Portland and Boston newspapers. In 1872 he established his first publication. His first big success was “The Ladies Home Journal and Practical Housekeeper”, developed and edited by his first wife Louisa Knapp and later renamed as “The Ladies Home Journal”. Late on, Curtis also published several other newspapers and magazines such as “The Saturday Evening Post”, “The Philadelphia Enquirer” and “The New York Evening Post”. C. H. K. Curtis donated millions of dollars to hospitals, museums, universities and schools.

Napoleon Hill mentions Cyrus H. K. Curtis in his prefaces’ list of “Think and Grow Rich”.

“There are two kinds of people who never amount to much: those who cannot do what they are told, and those who can do nothing else.”

Cyrus Herman Kotzschmar Curtis

GEORGE EASTMAN (* July 12, 1854 in Waterville, New York; † March 14, 1932 in Rochester, New York) was an American inventor, founder of the Eastman Kodak Company and a major philanthropist. George Eastman invented roll film, which soon replaced conventional photo plates. Roll film, in combination with (Kodak) cameras, designed for non-expert use,  laid ground for photography as an affordable hobby for the average person. George Eastman was a major philanthropist and donated  to universities, institutes, museums and schools on a regular basis throughout his lifetime.

In “Think and Grow Rich”, George Eastman is being mentioned by Napoleon Hill in the list of wealthy men who used the Carnegie secret.

“What we do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are.”

George Eastman

THEODORE ROOSEVELT (* October 27, 1858 in New York City;  † January 6, 1919 in Oyster Bay, New York) was the 26th president of the United States. Unlike most of the other men on this list, he was born to a wealthy family. He graduated from Harvard in 1880 and attended law school before he decided to enter public life. Theodore Roosevelt was an outstanding personality and achieved his goals in life. Instead of listing his numerous merits, Napoleon Hill shall be quoted. In his book “The Law of Success in 16 Lessons”, the predecessor of “Think and Grow Rich” he wrote:

“Theodore Roosevelt engraved his name on the tablets of time by one single act during his tenure of office as President of the United  States, and after all else that he did while in that office will have been forgotten this one transaction will record him in history as a man of imagination. He started the steam shovels to work on the Panama Canal. Every President, from Washington on up to Roosevelt, could have started the canal and it would have been completed, but it seemed such a colossal undertaking that it required not only imagination but daring courage as well. Roosevelt had both, and the people of the United States have the canal.”

Napoleon Hill mentions Theodore Roosevelt in the list and writes in Chapter 1 – Introduction: “The business depression started in 1929, and continued on to an all time record of destruction, until sometime after President Roosevelt entered office.”

“Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.”

Theodore Roosevelt
