Richest Briton
Joseph Rank, mill owner, is regarded as England's richest living man. Few Englishmen would name him as the wealthiest in the British Isles, for despite the immensity of his wealth, he lives simply. Rank, who is now eighty, was born at Hull. His father owned a small flour mill, and at fourteen he went to work for him for a tiny stipend. When his father died, he inherited the mill, and then proceeded to build modern mills at strategic points throughout the country, and in that way amassed his fortune.
