Vernon W. Van Fleet
Federal Trade Commission chair (c. 1866–1932)
Vernon W. Van Fleet (c. 1866 – February 19, 1932) was the chair of the Federal Trade Commission from December 1, 1924, to November 30, 1925.[1]
Prior to his selection to the FTC in 1922, Van Fleet had been a judge of the Superior Court of Indiana for eight years.[2] Van Fleet had moved to Washington, D.C., in 1921 to serve as a special assistant to the attorney general.[3] As a member of the FTC, he "dissented publicly from FTC orders more than any other Commissioner", and resigned in 1926, before the expiration of his term.[2]
Van Fleet died in his home at the age of 66, following a brief illness.[3]
