Panic DAYS PAST,
RUDOLPH SAYS
President of Second National

1915 PROSPECTS BRIGHT
Restoration of Confidence in Business
World Sign of Good Times. Former
Commissioner Asserts.

Business conditions in Washington.
and particularly the banking business,
are favorable and indications point to a
orally, a very evident improvement is
being felt in business circles and it would
seem that the days of panic are past"
declared Cuno H. Rudolph. president Of
/ the Second National Bank. yesterday.
! Mr. Rudolph has been in business in
| Washington for twenty-five years. COM
ing here In 1890 from Baltimore. He was
born in 1850. his father. Joseph Rudolph.
being a Baltimore tObaccOnist. At the
| age of sixteen Mr. Rudolph had COM
pleted his grammar school education, and
| graduating from business school, entered
the hardware business as bOOkkeeper.
Within a few years he was promoted to
the managership Of the store, but severed
| his connections with the establishment
at the age of thirty to come to Washing
| ton as a partner in the now prosperous
corporation OF Rudolph & West, a Wash
! ingtOn hardware firm.
/ In 1905 Mr. Rudolph was elected second
/ vice president of the Metropolitan Bank.
/ January l6. 1910. he was appointed a Dis

Taft. and eight days later he was elected
president of the Board of Commissioners
retiring in July. offl9l3. A little more
than a year ago Mr.. Rudolph was elected
president of the Second National Bank.
Plenty of Loan Money.
THE beginning Of the year makes me
| optimistic about the future" Mr.. Rudolph
said Deposits in Washington banks are
normal, and there is an abundance of
money at reasonable interest. Creditors
are not pushing for settlements.
There has been a distinct restoration
OF confidence in the business world during
the last few weeks, he added. Il think
this is largely due to the fact that the
Federal reserve banking system is now in
actual operation. 1t is too soon yet to
foresee just how far-reaChinE will be the
effects of this new system. but 1t would
seem that the days of the panic are
past"
Faith in Bank Law.
That Mr.. Rudolph has great faith in
the Federal banking act and places the
future growth of the country upon its
development is seen in his closing re-
marks:
1T is going TO take much study to fully
comprehend the meaning and possibilities
and TO work out all the provisions of the
Federal banking system. but that it will
provide fully for an elastic currency, ca
pabIe Of expanding or. contracting. to
meet conditions as they arise. fully be-
ueve
The Second National Bank is a MEM
ber of the system. and as such champions
its cause. think as time goes on and
full understanding OF the full working OF
the act is reached, it will be found to he
far-reaching in its effect on the business
world. And in all 1t should further in
crease the prospects for better business
this year"
