Prior to that for eight years he was
its vice-president. Before that he
had been assistant to Lyman J.

during the Spanish War. At that
time young Vanderlip had success

Of the National City Bank, wanted

waited to see what Vanderlip would
do, and it saw the golden touch of
success in everything he did.
In 1914 he began specializing in
branch banking, until the National
City Bank had forty-nine branches
in twenty-five countries. Then he
became a "dollar a year" man in
government service, and rendered
his government all the benefit of his
vast experience.
