William Madison Wood (June 18, 1858 – February 2, 1926) was an American textile mill owner of Lawrence, Massachusetts who was considered to be an expert in efficiency.[citation needed] He made a good deal of his fortune through being hired by mill owners to turn around failing mills and was despised by organized labor.
