DANIEL GUGGENHEIM
Daniel Guggenheim, who died Sunday, was the j
jguiding genius in the creation of some of the largest j
enterprises in the history of this country. Important;
| among these was The American Smelting and Refin-j
ling Company, one of the world's largest producers of
j metals.
The Guggenheim enterprises and interests not
only extended over a wide field in the United States,
but penetrated into Alaska, Mexico, South America,
Asia and Africa.
After many years, Mr. Guggenheim gradually
withdrew from business until he had no official con
inection with it, having transferred most of his respon
sibilities to his son, Harry F. Guggenheim.
During his active business career, Mr. Guggen
heim gave much in philanthropies. After his retire
ment he devoted himself to dispensing generously of
his wealth in that direction, as well as in the promotion
I of aeronautics.
The cultimation of his philanthopic activities was
| the formation in January, 1924, of the Daniel and Flor
ence Guggenheim Foundation created by himself, his
wife and their children.. The foundation was heavily
endowed and its charter stated its purpose to be ‘‘the
promotion, through charitable and benevolent activi
ties, of the well-being of mankind thru out the world.
Mr. Guggenheim’s faith in the future of aviation
I prompted him in June, 1925, to contribute $500,000 to
establish a school of aeronautics in the College of En
gineering of New York University. It was his belief
that aviation could be made a real public utility, ren
I dering vital service to the nation’s business and econm
ic welfare as well as to its defense.
Ground for the school hardly had been broken
| when in January, 1926, he emphasized his belief in the
[importance of aviation by establishing the Daniel Gug
jgenheim Fund for the promotion of aeronautics. He
made available $2,500,000 for the use of the fund. With
I bis son Harry F. Guggenheim as president, the trus
tees of the fund included men of national distinction in
aviation, engineering, law and business.
Late in 1926 the fund financed a country-wide tour
tot the North Pole airplane of Commander Richard E.
I Byrd for the purpose of focusing attention on the de
velopment of aircraft and the need of municipal air
ports. For the same purpose the fund spansored the
tour of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh after his return
from his historic flight to Paris. On that tour Colonel
Lindbergh visited at least one city in each of the 48
states, flying his famous plane, the Spirit of St. Louis.
Born at Philadelphia, July 9, 1856, Daniel Guggen
heim was the second eldest of seven sons of Meyer
Guggenheim. The latter had come to this country from
Switzerland with his father in 1847. Daniel received
his education in the schools of Philadelphia, leaving
high school at the age of 17 to return to Switzerland
to take charge of the foreign branch of his father’s
business, the manufacture of lace and embroidery.
After eleven years, Daniel returned to the United
j States in 1884, his father in the meantime having be
come interested in the mining business. The firm of M.
Guggenheim and Sons was formed and in 1889 the
family and business were removed from Philadelphia
I to New York.
. The firm’s first venture in the smelting and re
fining of copper was with a small smelter at Pueblo,
Colo. From this grew the extensive Guggenheim in
terests and enterprises.
.Daniel Guggenheim entered the mining business
with the determination to learn it thoroughly. Under
the guidance of his father he faced all the harships in
ciciental. to prospecting and development of mining
properties. He gained such a knowledge of the busi
ness that he was enabled to take over the leadership of
Ithe wuir?terests in declining years of his father.
; While the Guggenheims were active in the smelt
reLning of various metals, the name was prin
cipally associated with copper. At one period the quan
tity of copper handled and controlled by the firm was
| almost one-half the total annual production.
Mr. Guggenheim was credited with the success of
many of the firm’s undertakings, but what was re
garded as the outstanding one was The Ameren
Smelting and Refining Company. He served that com^
pany for nearly 20 years as president and later chair
man of the board.
When exploiting the firm’s interests in South
America, Mr. Guggenheim’s attention was directed to
