Marriner Eccles – The Early Years

Clip: 1/12/2021 | 5m 7sVideo has Closed Captions

Marriner Eccles' business knowledge came from working in his father's companies.

Long before he came to head the Federal Reserve Board, Marriner Eccles began life as the son of Scottish immigrants, Mormon settlers searching for a better life in Northern Utah. Marriner would get his business acumen from his father, David Eccles — a successful entrepreneur, and at the time one of the wealthiest men between Denver and San Francisco.
