ling dynasles Of the present, day, this was
not accomplished. His trade required him, 10
travel; and after sohie years he returned TO

years savings, he returned 10; Frankfort,
married, and commenced 4, little exchange
business. His great sagacity; strict punciu.
ality and rectiiude of CONDUCT pushed him
rapidly forward, and towards the close Of
the century the Frankfort Banking House
had become famous and the profits large.-
The banker in the meantime brought up en-
children, ofwhom five sons we're "after his
own bearli" and when he died left them
vast wealth and extensive business, with the
injunction TO dwell in strict, and unbroken
unity And the injunction then bestowed
has been faithfully carried out. The five
sons conducted as many, banking houses at
the leading capitals ot Europe. They we're
as follows: The eldest, Ansem, was born in
1873, a. d was The mist substantial citizen
of Frankfori;b and, representing the father,
was the head o. the whole operations Of The
iloure., The second, Solomon, born ii, l774,
became a citizen Of Vienna, whete he is held
in high estimation. as q man, as we'll as a
member oil the most stnpendous banking
house in the world. Tie fourth son, Charles,
was born in 1888, and has since 1921, con.
Quoted tile, house al Naples, where his pop
ularity is equal 10 any ol'his brothers. The
youngest son, Jacob, was born in 1902, and
is the banker for Paris, where he maintains

These five houses, combining all the f.

exercised for fifty years a power unseen, but
