Born in Zurich to American parents, he attended Harvard College and worked for Boston publishers Estes & Lauriat, 1891-1892.[1] In 1896 he bought the Joseph Knight Company and renamed it L.C.

Porter. In 1914 the Page Company acquired Dana Estes & Co.[9]
Around the 1910s Louis and his brother George A. Page were co-owners of the Boston Braves baseball team.[10]
Page married Kate Stearns in 1895.[11]
