Excerpt from Willing Letters and Papers: Edited With a Biographical Essay of Thomas Willing of Philadelphia, 1731-1821 Philadelphia has had among her sons three financiers, each of whom in his day and generation took a leading part in upholding and maintaining the credit of America - Thomas Willing, Stephen Girard and Jay Cooke. "Old Square Toes," as Thomas Willing was often affectionately called by his relatives, descendants, and intimate friends - a nickname given him because of the broad toed shoes that he wore, and a cognomen that in the public mind symbolized the sound and sure basis of his financial operations - has not yet received a fair recognition of the important services he rendered to the development first of the Province of Pennsylvania and then of the United States. Beginning with the meeting of the Albany Congress, for a period of almost sixty years, he played a potent though not spectacular role in American affairs. That so little attention has as yet been given to his public services, is no doubt due to the fact that during the Revolution his junior partner was for more than two years Financier General, or as we would say today, Secretary of the Treasury of the United States.
