A son of Henry C. “Harry” Ingwersen, Emil Ingwersen was born in Clinton County, Iowa. He worked for Rosenbaum Brothers and Company, a Chicago livestock commission firm, and by the 1880s, was the head cattle buyer for Swift and Company. From 1894 to 1896, Ingwersen handled Swift’s business in England, and a few years later, he took over the family businesses when his father and uncle retired. He was president of the Chicago Live Stock Exchange in 1907–1908 and of the National Live Stock Exchange in 1912. Emil Ingwersen served as a director of the International Live Stock Exposition from 1906 to 1935, overseeing the carlot show.
