Wyler, Silvain, 1894-1963
Silvain and Arma Wyler founded the Wyler Company in Chicago in 1931, first importing bouillon cubes from Europe, then pioneering the development of dehydrated food products. The company merged with Borden in 1961, though the Wylers continued to be involved with the company. The Wylers were active philanthropists, and among their major projects was the Silvain and Arma Wyler Children's Hospital at University of Chicago, dedicated in 1966.
