PUBLISHERS HERALD:-In your ad-
vertisipg columns appears the adver-
tisement of the National Guar
antee Loan and Trust company, where
in my name appearf'as pres dent of the
El Paso branch. l presume my cleo
ton to this position was owing to a
belief entertained by the Ock holder
in this city that there was kind of
relation existing between the business
of bui ding and loan and that of life
insurance and that, as l was recognized
as somewhat of an authority on life in
surance. l ought to be posted on build
ing and loan. Whether this be true or
not, feel that my duty to the persons
who elected me demand that 1 should
not allow my name to be used in an
advertisement designed to forward the
interests of this institution after it has
ceased to possess my confidence. My
experience with the National Guarau-
tee Loan and Trust company has not
satisfied me that it is worthy OF the
support of Ell Paso people.
You will therefore please remove my
name from among those appearing in
