1917 identify it, the furthering, not of speculation, but of commerce; the eur- nishing of assistance, not to the promo ter or the so-called "financier," but to the individual merchant and business man.
 This is the comment of the Post:
 He (John Mason) understood that mechanics needed money as much when it was scarce as when it was plenty. Otter l have known him to discount. as president of the Chemical bank, for merchants in distress, at per cent, when he deemed it almost certain that he would be obliged to use his own private securities to raise money to sustain his bank.
 "'Rich as Mir Mason was, his heart was bigger than his purse There was no pleasure in him greater than to have respectable mechanic come to him at a late hour who had 50 men to pay and knew not where to raise the money. which was worth, perhaps, per cent month. Mr. Mason delighted to take such man by the hand and would kindly say, My good man, you must have the money and give it to him at the legal rate."'
 Outside of the fact that the Chemical bank is regarded as an American in stltution to be proud of by all who know anything of finance, the main interest

1M1 Not only to those who turn she UW wheels of finance, but to all stu dents of American business and growth, the words Chemical Bank call to mind contrast both curious and in- struetive.
 Compare the associations the name brings te us today with the very differ ent impressions of the worthy New York newspaper readers who came across this item in the Gazette and other dailies Of July 90, 1924:
 The New York Chemical Manufactur- ing company will open their office of discount and deposit at No. PIG Broad Way, opposite St. Paul's church, on Mon day, the 2nd of August. The bank will be open daily Sundays and holidays ex- cepted) from 9 clock a. m. until 5 o'clock p. m The board of directors will d committee will attend daily for mak- ing discounts.

 A bank on Broadway! There was much shaking of heads among the men of Wall street, then as now the central re- zion of American finance. Nine of the F existing banks did business in Wall street, the rest near by. It was felt that the Chemical was going too far uptown. Why, it was opposite ''The Park Gas the city hall grounds were tken known). And only six blocks above, at Worth street, came the lawns of the New York city hospital, where, as every well informed business man was aware, Broadway for all practical purposes, ended.
 So much for the limitations of human foresight. Today everybody knows that there are 65 banking houses on Broad way; that the northernmost of them is eight miles above the city hall, and that the stock of the Chemical bank ever since 1885, when it sold at $4900 a share, has held the record as the highest priced stock of any large financial insti- tuition in the world.
 Particularly interesting is an excerpt printed in the History of the Chemical Bank, 1S23-1913,'' from the New York Evening Post of 1859, which goes on to prove that the Chemical bank even in it's earliest days and on the comparatively insignificant scale of those times, was of service to the community in precisely the same fields which in the year of

THE BOOK SHELF

these companies are constantly buying from amateur writers, for the very good reason that they cannot afford to pay the exorditant prices demanded by the prominent authors. There is a market awaiting every manuscript, if it bears merit; but there are dozens of these smaller publications unknown to the average writer, and until he does know the ones wanting his particular style of work, he is powerless to proceed; he has reached the stumbling-block on his road to success. He may have written a story of excellent merit, he may have com posed very clever poem, he may have toiled through the long hours of night in preparing a book manuscript. There may be style and finish to his work of wide public appeal, but unless he can dispose of it profitably after his many days of labor, his work amounts to nothing. To write is talent-to sell is a problem. The authors purpose is to make this book key to the selling problem.

Reading Recent Interesting History of the Chemical by Mr. McLane Hilton, Jr Marks Interesting Contrast

in the bank to southerners is the fact. that an Alabama banker, MT. McLane Tilton, Jr., of Pell City, is the southern representative of this great banking house.
 MT. Triton has been widely congrat- ulated upon his appointment as an otfi-' cer of the Chemical bank, and those who know him realize that his ability his financial acumen, and his broad knowl- edge of the banking business, qualify hlm amply for the important position he holds. His position is unique and un- usual in that he is the only officer con nected in a similar manner with the Chemical bank who has been allowed to continue as an officer in two southern national banks, while representing big one.
 MT. Tilton's jurisdiction as southern representative of the Chemical bank ex- tends over the states of North and south Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee.
 It suggests keen foresight on the part of those connected with the Chemical bank to appoint MT. Triton to the posi- ton he now occupies, for he will dis charge his duties ably and with credit and honor to himself and his institu- tion, as he has done in the past with hiF other varied business interests His fiel9 is a broad one and as there is every as- surance of vast development in the south, MT. Tiltons appointment as south ern representative of this great bank will better bring to this section the ia cilities that have been more generally availed of in the north and east. With capital and surplus of $10,000,000 and de- posits more than S50,0O0000, and an unex7 celled banking service it expects to be strongly identified with the banking and business interests of the sixth fed- /eral reserve district.
 MT. Tiltons many friends throughout the. south will be glad to know that he will continue to make his home at Pell City and perform his duties as president of the First National bank there.

 BAER-POPE
 The many friends of Miss Pope and MT Baer in the city will be interested in the following account Of their wed- ding at the home of the brides par ents in WiIsonville. The most impor- tant social event of the Yu1etide season at Wilsonville was the marriage of Miss Mildred Pope and MT. Linton Hampton Baer. It was a very quiet wedding, only few friends of the family being present. The interior Of their charming home presented quite holiday appearance Ferns, palms and trailing vines were in evidence everywhere. The dining room, with its decorations of palms and holly, was beautiful. The parlor, it's walls fes- tooned with southern smilax, was a fit setting for so sweet a bride. Just before the ceremony Miss Louise Pope sang very sWeetly, At Dawning,." As the strains of Lohengrin's bridal march began, played by Miss Elizabeth Mere dith, cousin of the bride the bride and groom entered. Rev. P. c. Walker, in a beautiful and impressive ceremony, united these two young lives 'Traumeri' was played softly during the ceremony, and Mendelssohn's we'd ding march just after the ministers amen The bride looked very lovely
 
 erdine fur trimmed, with hat, gloves and shoes to match. She is the daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. J. r. Pope of Will sonville, and is a lovely young woman, and numbers her friends by the score. Mir. Baer is member of the Marion Military institute faculty at Marion, and comes from a prominent Virginia family. MT. and Mrs. Baer left imme- diately after the ceremony for a short wedding trip and will be at home to their friends after January 1 at Ma rion. The out-of-town guests were: Captain Williams of Marion, Mrs George McGowen of Jacksonville, Miss Elizabeth Meredith of Anniston, Mrs Rosa w. Teague and MT. Clyde Nelson of Columbiana.
