Thomas E. Courtney began work as a Chicago street-corner newsboy. On his second job, he washed cars. In 1922, without a formal education, Courtney formed Northern Illinois Corporation of DeKalb, Illinois, a multi-million-dollar finance organization, which under his supervision grant loans from $20 to $1 million for anything from renting a room to building a complete factory. Courtney won the Army and Navy "E" for his defense contributions. History from the Horatio Alger Association.
