Abstract

Business went well for Tappan in 1900. Though there were no spectacular gains, growth proceeded at about the pace it had for the previous five years. The company was still young, Tappan knew that. He understood that building a reputation and fine-tuning the product was going to take time and patience. Meanwhile, his own law practice was providing a steady income, particularly in real estate, where Tappan took a special interest. There were lots of opportunities to buy and sell land, both in the city of Minneapolis, which was growing rapidly, and in the surrounding countryside. Winnie continued to apply her bookkeeping and secretarial skills at the offices of Investors Syndicate, until the birth of their first child that spring.
