Mr. Burgess’ business interests were varied. In his long career, he was president of the Cleveland Desk Company, vice president and a director of the Cleveland Tanning Company, vice president and a director of the Federal Oil Corporation, president and a director of the Stockwell Tax Table Company, and a director of the Citizens Manufacturing & Investment Company and the Hundred Mining Company.<\/p>\n
