To the People of Washington:

10 lHe feOPte " w uStuHStcH
want to say 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 rairoading, or anything else.
1t is all question of the survival of the
ittest, and the fittest is the concern of sufh-
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 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,
that they haven't been asleep on their jobs.
In starting The Munsey Trust Company
here l 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
inaugurate6 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 CON-
pany will be an aggressive and wide-awake
institution and will give a good account of
itself in the matter of its earnings while
growing into financial institution. II is as
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 CON-
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
I'D n
The Washington times., 1913-04-22
The New Munsey Trust Company

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
l 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 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 small in
terest in this banking enterprise, your COM
bined influence, in your innumerable contacts
throughout the city, would contribute inconl-
parably to its growth and development
should especially like to inaugurate this
trust company with the largest representa-
ton of Washington citizens as stockholders
Ol any DankllS nouSc iii tHc Clty iHlS WOuiu
be something very much worth while, and
would at once put The Munsey Trust COM
pany in an enviaby 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 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
April Is, or at the latest must reach The
Munsey Trust Company, in the Munsey
Building, on the morning of the Goth. Pay
ment for stock must be made on or before
May 6, 1918. Address your subscription to

WOMAN SHOOTS HUSBAND.
Then Battles His Three Wounds
and Calls in Physician.

Hardwick, Sept. 80 Roy Cheney
of this village is in Hardwick hospital
with a bullet wound in his neck near
the jugular vein and his wife, who con-
fesses that she shot her husband yes
terday morning, is in Caledonia county
Jail at st. Johnsbury.
The wife, Elizabeth Lynch Cheney
claims, it is said, that during an al
tercation over another woman she shot
her husband. 1t is alleged that quarrels
were frequent between Cheney and his
wife.
The details of the shooting are not
known though Mrs. Cheney acknowl-
edges that she bathed ther husband S
wounds and called two physicians.
Mrs. Cheney is domestic nurse and
her husband is a carriage and farm
machinery salesman. Each is about 35.
He is son of Willard S. Cheney of
West Burke.
Mrs. Cheney expressed no sorrow
and her only regret, expressed after
she was taken to Jail, was that she did
not have spare bullet in the pistol for
herself as she had intended to have.
An examination of the injured man
showed that in addition to the bullet
hole in his neck there are wounds on
his head, one arm and on his breast.
DR.. John B. Wheeler of Burlington
was called here to operate upon Cheney
but it has been decided to wait a few
hours in hope the injured man can be
taken to that city.
