No. 100 Broadway.
Much II goins to be heard Of these
men, l believe. and as the Common
wealth looks forward to important

I have already taken the liberty OF
"A mention in this column OF MIR.
Tudor, President Of the Corporation.
second Of the three men who have
made the Commonwealth = success
dent, who proves In h.s own exDer-
i,mcr nat :.i.cricL remains the
country Of Great Opportunity. My
first contact with Mr.. Weed was In
Havana, In 1898. when he and
another young man were attached as
stenosraphers to the Commission for
the Evacuation Of Cuba. Mr.. Weeds
companion was William Morgan
Shuster. who later became a member
'ur i.I ppine tOmmissi Ion, and
nanciai advisor Of Persia. Mr.. Weed
was speedily and frequently promo
ted during the reconstruction days
in Cuba. Later on he was recalled
to Washington and. In 1910. Presi-
dent Taft assigned to him the re-
sponsIble task OF organizing the
Postal Savings system Of the United
States.
Today every one takes the Postal
savings system ms II matter Of
course. but when Mr.. Weed began
his work many banks vigorously op-
posed the system and he hnd TO fight
his way step by step. Al the end
T. III" hryt mnnih Mr. Weed had
established forty -elght deposltories
with totrS Of SEQ. tOi on deposit.
Five month"; later the number OF
drrositor!rs had been increased TO
-four hundred and the deposits
amounted to 1000. 200. Now Post
master General VIII Hays 1. pre-
dieting deposits of IA billion dollars.
To Mr.. Weed the Initial credit for
the wonderful success OF the Postal
savings system Is due. Another
might have done his work as well;
no one could hive done 1t better.
So. when Mr.. Tudor looked about
for some one to supplement his rf-
forts TO build the Commonwealth
Finance Corporation Into a great
Institution. he found Theodore Weed,
The two work together with a co.
ordination TINT makes each doubly
effective. When the business men
OF Philadelphia come Into direct
Sc,"nt"."t with Mr.. Weed they Will
like him as well as do.

C~ommunity's Archives

Can you tell me the date the Bap-
fist church burned-I mean, Of course,
the famous fire that all the old inhab-
itants talk about?'
The librarian looked up from her
work. mo, l can't tell you the ex
act date, but | think | can find 1t for
you quickly, for we have the files OF
the local paper since it "a started.
NV impression is that the tire-the big
fire. as they call twas about 1873,
, and it won't be a very long job to look
1t up"
She went TO the stacks in the rear
of the library, pulled out a dusty
bound volume marked Herald, 1873"
and spread it open on the table. "Ah,
here II is" she said, after a minute
spent in turning over the yellow leaves.
The person who had inquired for
the date, a member of the wOman'S
club of the town, sat down and read
the article. This gives me exactly
the information | wanted" she said.
II thought it would" said the libra
rian. II fear most people do not APP
preciate how valuable is the local
newspaper from the viewpoint of To-
cal history. In fact, it seems to me
that 1t is about Il only source. Only
when an event gets into print is it
officially recorded and filed for refer
ence. Flimsy rs it is, the printed
