Billionaire Cortland Field Bishop comes to the rescue in 1923 Snow Storm

Cortlandt Field Bishop (1870-1935) son of David Wolfe Bishop (1833–1900) and and Florence Van Corltandt Field (1851–1922) was an collector, art dealer, author, aviator, balloonist, autoist, traveler, owner of Anderson Gallery, the American Art Association, and publisher of the Paris Times (American Newspaper in Paris). 

He was also an heir and an executor of estate of the art collector Catherine Lorillard Wolfe (1828–1887). Bishop, eccentric and worth billions....this tale is Priceless! On November 24, 1923 a massive snow storm hit Lenox, Massachusetts causing total chaos. According to The Boston Herald, the fierce blows from Jack Frost were no threat to Master Cortland and his fancy French tractor. He cleared the roadways, delivered the mail and rescued motorist.
