The Making of a Trust Company provides an in-depth exploration of the evolution and institutional growth of the Chicago Trust Company during its formative first twenty-one years. Authored by William Thomas Cross, this work serves as both a corporate chronicle and a significant historical document detailing the financial landscape of Chicago in the early 20th century.

The narrative traces the establishment and strategic development of a major financial institution, offering professional insights into the practices, challenges, and triumphs of trust management and commercial banking. Through a detailed analysis of the company's trajectory, the book illustrates broader trends in American economic history, particularly the expansion of financial services in the Midwest. Readers will find a meticulous account of banking operations, organizational philosophy, and the community impact of a dedicated financial entity. This volume remains an essential resource for those interested in the history of banking, the development of Chicago as a financial hub, and the mechanics of trust company management during an era of significant national economic change.
