** From Scharf*, page 401, courtesy of Reno*

The formation of the Chemical Exchange, to which we have previously referred, is an outward and visible indication not only of the proportions already attained by the trade, but of the promise which it holds out of further expansion. There can be no doubt that the new organization will exert a most beneficial influence, and that under the systematic and organized effort which it will encourage even more splendid results will be realized than have already crowned individual enterprise and energy. The character of the officers selected indeed affords a guarantee to this effect, which will lie fully redeemed in time. A brief account has been given on another page of the business career of the president of the Exchange, and in this connection it may not be inappropriate to refer more particularly to another of the officers, William Sutheron Powell, who is one of the most prominent representatives of the organization, and one of the active, progressive merchants of Baltimore. Mr. Powell, who is the originator and patentee of " Powell's Prepared Agricultural Chemicals," was born in Alexandria, Va., May 10, 1853. His father, Edward B. Powell, was a member of the well-known Powell family of Loudon County, Va., and his mother was of the old Sutheron family of St. Mary's County, Md. Mr. Powell comes from what may be called a profession-family, as nearly every member on both paternal and maternal sides have been connected with the civil or military professions of the country, and, with one or two exceptions, he is the only merchant in the family. Owing to the disastrous termination for all Southern men of the late civil war, Mr. Powell, at the age of fifteen, dependent entirely on his own resources, found himself in Baltimore without one dollar in pocket and his trunk in the express-office with freight unpaid. In this dilemma work-and hard work-was plainly his only alternative, and to work he went cheerfully, resolutely, and with determination to win in the coming struggle. On a salary of twelve dollars per month, with the floor for a bed, and preparing his own food over a gas-stove, he fought his fight with poverty, and came off victorious after a six months' struggle.
As a member of the well-known house of William H. Brown & Co., he can look back upon the past with the satisfaction of knowing that however hard the struggle it is now over, and without injury either to himself or any other man. The originator of Powell's Prepared Chemicals and the treasurer and manager of the Brown Chemical Company, he has " made two blades of grass grow where only one grew before" in many of the exhausted acres of the Southern States. He is a director in the Merchants' Club, chairman of the committee on hospitality of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association, and superintendent of the Sunday-school of the Memorial Protestant Episcopal Church.

A Democrat but not a partisan in politics, he discharges the duties of a citizen without the bitterness of a politician. He takes a lively interest in everything relating to progress and advancement, and is a member of the Maryland Academy of Sciences. He was married Nov. 22, 1878, to Lily B. Smith, only child of the late J. Bowen Smith, formerly a member of the well-known Baltimore house of Reynolds, Smith & Co.

The business career of Mr. Powell is another example of energy, character, and determination triumphing over adverse circumstances.
