He is one of the vigorous men of affairs given our American republic by the Empire of Germany.  Ambition, resolute purpose and fine initiative and executive ability have represented the dynamic forces that have brought large success and benignant influence to Mr. Rosenbaum, and his President of the corporation of Rosenbaum Brothers, Live Stock Commission Company, which has long controlled a large and substantial commission business, besides which he is President of the Live Stock Investment Company and the J.
