Staley Museum In The News
Become a Friend of the Staley Museum!
Celebrate Women's History Month at the Staley Museum in March.
A look back at the November 1924 Staley Journal
1. "We're hard guys, we are," Avory McGlade and Red Thornborough said. Maybe they are, but they would both need expert accountants to count up the long list of friends they each have.
2. Our version of Parade Rest! The prominent figure in the center, Bill Stewart, had his doubts about the ability of any camera to with-stand the shock of his presence, but his friends gathered to his support and the attempt was a success. The men in the picture are JE Allen, MC Lilly, William Stewart, Eddie Ekhoff, Charles Johnson, Carl Oakes, Mike O'Donald.
3. "The brains of the Staley fire department," Cap Whitten and George Leonard. Cap assumed a most fatherly attitude when George stood up beside him, didn't he? And please notice the cottage before which they are standing. It's Caps's same old "guard house" whit a new foundation and a new coat of paint.
4. This might be called the Three Wise Men. At any rate there are three of them, and they are men. Spud Moran, Kenneth Keck and Bob Carver is the way they are known in the plant.
Pictured is Mr. Staley wearing a cap and gown on the 8th floor of the Staley Administration Building. Mr. Staley was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science degree by James Millikin University in recognition of his high attainments as an industrialist.
Learn more about his life and achievements by visiting the museum.

Admission is $3/Adult, $1/Child
