Beverly W. Howe



Distinguished Chicago Attorney
— A Bearer of Good Cheer


BEVERLY W. HOWE,
 a leading member of the Chicago bar, noted orator and popular after-dinner speaker, has attained much acclaim as an apostle of true fellowship, inspiration, cheer and good humor.  He bears the superb stamp of fine breeding so long associated with the native of the Blue Grass of Kentucky, where he was born.  Possessing a keen sense of humor, he also has the happy faculty of being able to tell a story especially well.  His fund of good stories seems inexhaustible.






SUCCESSFUL POLITICAL CAMPAIGNER



As the National President of one of the largest American College Fraternities for two years, Mr. Howe gained country-wide reputation among college men as a speaker of power and inspiration.  After volunteering to make two or three speeches in a great national political campaign he was drafted to speak constantly for the remainder of the campaign because of his ability to appeal to audiences.  They liked his common sense way of putting things.  They liked his stories.





A MANY SIDED SPEAKER



Beverly W. Howe is a many sided speaker.  He has a keen, analytical mind.  It penetrates to the heart of things.  All this, coupled with his ability to illustrate his points with a good story, make his comments on current problems most interesting.  The inspirational note which he sounds in his talks rings true because it comes from his heart.





A KENTUCKIAN INTERPRETS LINCOLN



Reared in Kentucky and gifted with Lincoln's saving sense of humor, it is not surprising that Beverly W. Howe gives a sympathetic and an understanding valuation of the martyred president's character and life.  
The best Lincoln talk I ever heard,
 
He gave us a new slant on Lincoln,
 
His Lincoln talk held me spell-bound
—are typical comments that come in following one of his Lincoln addresses.  It probably takes a Kentuckian, who has also moved to Illinois, to truly understand Lincoln.





SHORT PERSONAL SKETCH



Mr. Howe is a B.A. graduate of the University of Tennessee.  He spent a year in special work at Vanderbilt University.  His law degree he received from the University of Michigan.  He began the practice of law in Kentucky.  Since 1910 he has been active and successful in the practice of law in Chicago as a trial lawyer and as a counselor of corporations and individuals.  Mr. Howe's practice has covered such a wide field that he has been brought into contact with the high and the low, the big and the small.  It has given him an understanding of rural as well as urban problems.  A most striking personality—this lawyer, orator, humorist, bearer of good cheer.





A FEW TYPICAL COMMENTS



The highlight of the program was a stirring address by Beverly W. Howe, prominent Chicago attorney.  His topic, 
Thumping the Dumps,
 was an appeal to his audience to recognize and appreciate the beauty of simple everyday living.  Mr. Howe's warm, informal manner and his sincerity won the admiration of his audience.—


LaPorte, Ind., Herald-Argus.




One of the most impressive talks we ever have had in Cincinnati.  At the finish the men present actually were pulled right out of their chairs in giving Beverly Howe a great ovation.

I want you to know again that Beverly W. Howe's address on Abraham Lincoln was the most interesting that I have ever heard, and I have heard a number of them.

—Collegiate Club of Chicago (Dr. Oakley Smith).




Beverly W. Howe's fine oration on 
The Gettysburg Addresses
 (Two Hours and Two Minutes) was the best I have heard in many years.  His mastery of the subject displayed his analytical mind and his power of oratory caused me to write this letter.

—Epworth Men's Community Club, Chicago (Frank E. Strouse).




We were very much delighted with Beverly W. Howe's sparkling address.  
Thumping the Dumps
 is what most of us need right now.  Its subject matter and sentiment were most inspiring.

—LaPorte University Club.




Frankly, let me say, I think Beverly W. Howe's 
Gettysburg Addresses
 to be one of the very best of his many fine lectures.  The new light which he has turned on an old subject gives it a freshness and a timeliness for any season and any occasion.  And the talk held his audience from beginning to end.

—A. Turley Stephenson, Pastor, Epworth M. E. Church, Chicago.
