Über diesen Titel

 Titus Salt was a remarkable British manufacturer, politician, and philanthropist, celebrated for his creation of Salts Mill, a pioneering textile mill, along with the adjoining village of Saltaire. Here, he transformed the lives of over 4,000 employees by providing cleaner air, quality housing, education, banking, churches, recreational spaces, shorter working hours, and fair wages. Salts innovative work with alpaca thread catapulted him to fame and fortune, earning him a baronetcy from the British Crown in 1869. His funeral was attended by an estimated 100,000 people, a testament to his impact. Although Salt left no memoirs, his close friend, Rev. Balgarnie, meticulously compiled this captivating biography through interviews, historical records, news articles, and speeches. One notable tribute described Titus as perhaps the greatest captain of industry in England, not just for his ability to lead thousands but for his genuine care for their well-being. By the time of his passing, Salt had generously donated over ¬£500,000 to charitable causes (equivalent to about ¬£65 million in 2021, or $91.5 million). The tale of how Sir Titus discovered a treasure trove of alpaca wool in Liverpool, leading to the development of a highly sought-after fabric, is vividly recounted in Chapter 6 of THE GREAT YORKSHIRE LLAMA by Charles Dickens, found in LVs Short Non-Fiction Collection #82 (Summary by Michele Fry).Copyright Biographies 2.0 Politik & Regierungen Welt Ökonomie
