The New Munsey Trust Company
To the People of Washington:

" utS cOPtC VI " "NS''utS''h'
want to say a word to you personally
about this new Trust Company, the stock Of
which we are now offering for sale. One
Washington newspaper, in commenting on
this new undertaking, says Washington
already has too many banking concerns.
Whether this is or is not true, it is
fact that the stock of Washington banks and
trust companies has usually sold, and is now
selling, at very satisfactory premium. The
stock of the seasoned and best managed
banking houses is bringing very high price.
There is no business that isn't overdone
no business in which the competition is not
too great for the weak concern or the con-
Germ of weak and unsound management.
This is as true of newspaper publishing as
of banking or manufacturing or merchan-
dising or railroading, or anything else.
II is all question of the survival of the
fttest, and the fittest is the concern of suff-
cient capital, whose management has brains
and energy and honesty and vision and
courage management that has the genius
of doing things and winning victories.
There is good deal more in manage
ment than there is in "easy-thing" oppor-
tunities. If there were a crying need for
another trust company in Washington, old
city that it is, it would be pitiable reflection
on the bankers of this city. That there isn't
a crying need for another trust company here
shows that they have been up to their jobs,
tnat they haven't been asleep on their jobs.
In starting The Munsey Trust Company
here would rather the banking situation
we're what it is than if it were of the easy
opportunity variety-a get-rich-quick oppor-
tunity.
The Munsey Trust Company will be
inaupurate6 on sound lines and will stand for
sound principles in banking and in all trust
matters. 1t will indulge in no financial
stunts" with the view to big profits and fat
dividends.
Nevertheless, The Munsey Trust Com
pany will be an aggressive and wide-awake
institution and will give good account of
itself in the matter of its earnings while
growing into financial institution. 1t is as a
financial institution, here in the National
Capital, that this trust company chiefly inter-
ests me- This feeling is particularly accent
uated by the fact that the new company bears
my name and that am to be its president
My hope is that in establishing The Num-
sey Trust Company here we are founding
banking house that will live, that will live
throughout this generation and throughout
many generations and that will grow with the
growth of the National Capital and become
national in its scope and usefulness.
All this is possible, and is very much
worth while. Mere money making as COM
pared with institution building, the building
of century structures, is poor kind of thing,
tame, stale, flat.
am telling you about my plans for The
Munsey Trust Company because | want you
to become interested with me-to be my

partners-in the founding of this banking
house.
A trust company, in its very nature, is
local concern, and as such should be owned
in great measure by the citizens of the town
in which it is located. 1t is for this reason
that | am anxious to have the stock of The
Munsey Trust Company of Washington taken
for the most part by you, the citizens of
Washington.
myself shall hold very large interest
in The Munsey Trust Company, controlling
interest, and this is guarantee of my faith
in it and of that kind of individual interest
in it that is akin to individual ownership. 1t
is in individual ownership, where concern
is dominated by strong, vital personal inter-
est-the interest of ownership-that the
safest results are obtained
In OUR great corporations, where the ele-
ment of ownership is necessarily small in the
management, we feel the lack of this DOM
inant ownership control. And this is one of
the great weaknesses of our big corporations.
Wherever we find banking house or
business under the management of its chief
owner we are pretty sure to see a safe, sound
institution, one in which economy, energy,
thoughtfulness, and deep individual interest
are conspicuous in its management.
My hope is that very large number of
you will subscribe to the stock of The Num-
sey Trust Company. For example, if two or
three men were to take all the stock beyond
that which myself take, should have only
two or three men interested with me in the
development of this trust company.
On the other hand if two or three thou
sand of you were each to take a small in
terest in this banking enterprise, your COM
bined influence, in your innumerable contacts
throughout the city, would contribute incom-
parably to its growth and development

be something very much worth while, and
would at once put The Munsey Trust Com
pany in an enviably strong position, and
would strengthen it in thousand ways.
My judgment is that you would be per-
fectly safe in subscribing to the stock of The
Munsey Trust Company of Washington, AMI
that we'll within one year the stock will sell
at a considerable premium. | weigh we'll my
words in this statement.
The capital stock of The Munsey Trust
Company of Washington is two million dol
lars The stock will be divided into shares
of one hundred dollars each, par value. All
subscriptions must be made on or before

CHARLES G, Gates
DIES IN STATION
Multi millionaire SuCCunlhs 10
Heart Failure
HIS WIFE WAS WITH HIM
Famous Stock Plunger and Sportsman
Passed Away In Few Minutes at
Cody, Wyo.

Charles G. Gates, multi-millionaire,
stock plunger, sportsman and son OF
the late JOHN w. Misrepresentation"
Gates, is dead at Cody, Wyo. He was
thirty-seven years old.
Heart failure killed him. He collaps-
ed In the railroad station at Cody and
died a few minutes later. His wife,
formerly Miss Florence Hopwood, OF
Minneapolis, was with him at the time
of his death.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gates left their home
in Minneapolis some time ago for a
trip west. They had no definite timer
ary laid out-or if they did they kept
it secret. They were just travelling
about. The trip was made in the hope
that Mr.. Gates would regain his health,
which had been failing for several
months although his condition was
not thought to be serious.
The death of Mr.. Gates takes one
Of the most picturesque figures In the
world of finance, romance, sport and
club life. His father was famous for
his offer to "bet a million" The son,
inheritor of $40,O0O,O0O, was in his own
way no less famous. His raids on the
stock market time and again were the
talk Of Wall street. And he always
won. In Philadelphia, once he waved
aside several hundred dollar bills, de-
claring them truck" There Is hardly
a city in the United States or in the
larger countries Of Europe whore
Gates is not known. Between sorties
on the stock market he would travel
here and there, from New York to
Philadelphia, or Washington, and then,
a few weeks later, to Paris, London or
Berlin-though he liked Paris best 1t
is said he gave away s1,000,000 year
in tips.
Gates was particularly noted for the
love he bore his father, the late John
w. Gates. The slightest illness Of the
latter was enough to make his son
drop whatever he had in hand and
rush to his side across the couatry, or
if need be, across the ocean. A few
years back he created nationwide
sensation by speeding all about the
coc.o:t-J cotJ with his father in private
car, now trying physician in this
city, now one in another Later when
cable announced that his father was
ill in Paris, young Gates rushed to the
dock in New York, boarded boat just
about to sail. Officers told him all the
staterooms on The boat had been en-
gagged, but Gates insisted that II ne
cessary he would sleep on a couch In
the salon.
"My father Is Ill. He has cabled me
and must go to him." he said dog
gedly. And he went. 1t was that i'll
ness, by the way, to which the elder
Gates succumbed.
Charles Gates was twice married.
His first wife divorced him about two
years ago The reasons for the divorce
were never made public. A few months
later, Immediately following the death
of his father, Gates admitted that he
was engaged to marry Miss Florence
Hopwood, of Minneapolis. The cere-
mony was performed Sept. 27, 1911, in
Uniontown, Pa.
