The correct answer is Frank Phillips.

Frank Phillips was born in Scotia, Nabraska to a farmer family which struggled after the swarm of grasshoppers descended on Nabraska decimating crops in the process. He began as a barber at the age of 14 and managed to own three barber shops by the age of 24. He was a banker and oilman as well as a businessman.
