Mr. Pine has been, literally, the architect of his own fortune. Starting a poor boy, without influential friends, he has made his own way in life, and has reached a degree of success, financially and socially, rarely attained by much older men than he. He is regarded with high esteem in political and business circles throughout the state, and particularly in Ansonia, with whose interests he is closely identified.
