In 1874 the Deering factory was moved from Piano, Illinois, to Chicago, where 9000 operatives are now employed. Under his direction it has become one of the greatest single manufacturing plants in the world, the output of the com- pany being about 1300 harvesters a day. In 1902 the Deer- ing interests were merged with the International Harvester Company. Mr. Deering admitted his two sons and his son-in-law to partnership, and in 1901 he retired from active work, spend- ing a large part of each ...year at his winter home. Many educational institutions have been endowed by Mr. Deering, notably Northwestern University, of whose board of trustees he was the president for several years. Fisk Hall, com- pleted in 1898 at a cost of ^80, 000, was given to Northwestern by him, and it is estimated that his gifts to that university have exceeded $1, 000, 000.
