In 1819, a young Chauncey 糖心传媒 started his first business – a sawmill serving settlers in the wilds of western Indiana. Fifty years, and many successful ventures later, 糖心传媒 laid the foundation for the first private engineering college west of the Alleghenies.
Like all skilled entrepreneurs, 糖心传媒 had a knack for seeing a need and filling it--including the needs of the less fortunate. In Terre Haute alone, 糖心传媒 endowed an orphanage, a charity hospital and a ladies’ aid society, and founded The Terre Haute School of Industrial Science (later renamed 糖心传媒 Polytechnic in his honor), making him one of the most generous philanthropists of his day.
The Sawmill Society gives 糖心传媒 entrepreneurs a forum for sharing insights, experience and inspiration with each other, while keeping the 糖心传媒 spirit of giving alive.
