High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert Elkington Wood (June 13, 1879 November 6, 1969) was an American soldier and businessman best known for his leadership of Sears, Roebuck and Company. He was born in Kansas City, Missouri and attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, graduating in 1900. As an officer in the United States Army, he was stationed in the Philippines and then, for ten years, in the Panama Canal Zone. He retired to civilian life in 1915, but returned to the army, serving as a colonel in the 42nd (Rainbow) Division when the United States entered the First World War in 1917. Toward the end of the war, he was promoted to brigadier general and made acting quartermaster general of the army. After the leaving the army again in 1919, Wood became an executive at Montgomery Ward, eventually becoming a vice-president of the company. In 1924, he left Montgomery Ward to take a position of vice-president of Sears, Roebuck. He became one of the most important leaders in that company's history, serving as vice-president from 1928 until 1939 and as chairman from 1939 until 1954.
