A DISTINGUISHED son OF
BROWNSVILLE

In the resignation of John G. Fernan-
dez from the active presidency Of the Mer-
chants National Bank of Brownsville. that
institution loses, for the time being, the
guidance of one who has been instrumental
in establishing and building up a financial
institution of which Brownsville NAV well
be proud. The brilliant financial record
made by the bank during its thirteen wears
OF existence scored a splendid climax at
the close of last year when a dividend was
announced amounting to sixty per cent up
on the original stock. or thirty per cent
upon the present stock. During its exist
cnce il has paid out in dividends more than
the original stock value. while its total
earnings, in that time, nave quadrupled the
original investment Of its stockholders. This
remarkable record j. conceded to have
been very largely due TO the rare business
talent, 10 the untlring energy, as well a. to
the sterling character and fine personality
of Mr.. Fernandez.
Brownsville j. proud that he is q native
Of this city and is proud that he selected
his native city a. the scene of his business
activities. His resignation from active
connection with the bank that he founded
is the result of i'll health. the result Of ncr-
vous trouble which necesitatcs a complete
rest and change.
The Herald wishes sincerely that Mr..
Fernandez may be restored to health very
soon, and that his absence from his home
may not he prolonged. His many friends
and his business associates in the city will
look forward to his return, and will warmly
welcome that occasion.

Pierpont violently insisted that
Gloria was only a child. But he was
only a father and merely a brother
