Pleasure cruising has been called
the only way TO get the most out Of
the vacation season. Yet. until re
Gently. pleasure cruising was confined
largely to millionaircs who had yachts
of their own fitted out moro or less to
their satisfaction. Now comes the
era Of pleasure cruising on ideally
equipped, privately chartered ships,
with congenial companions and varied
entertainment. All this has been
done by Raymond Whitcomb. In ad-
dition, they have eliminated the an
noyance of personal responsibility and
the tedum Of making ones own travel
arrangem ents.
This summer Raymond Whitcomb are
offering discriminating Americans q
remarkable pleasure cruise to sail
from New York, June %. for Iceland,
the Midnight Sun, and Norway.
The oldest and greatest American
travel company has shown the results
of its pre- eminently extensive expert
ence by selecting an idea ship, the
famous S. S. "Osterley,' which, in
equipment and range of accommoda-
tons. presents unlimited phases as a
perfect ship for a pleasure cruise to
the Northland

available assets. On the day Of that
merger, when the newspaper men went
to the Morgan Office for confirmation,
it was Mr.. Dawson who issued the
staten ent telling of the new merger.
Made Many Friends
Mr.. Davisons personality, which had
he entered the financial field of New
York City, continued to serve him we'll,
and he formed many enduring friend
ships during the next few years. He
also. during these years, continued to
ascend as power in banking circles,
and was a participant during the next
ten years in many of the country's
most important banking undertakings
A leader in his field in times of
peace, Mr.. Dawson, during war time,
became an even greater figure. with
his responsibilities naturally increased
After the outbreak of the war in
1914 he handled for his firm many i'm
portant financial transactions with
Quently to visit Europe. He conferred
with many Of Europe's foremost fnan-
cial figures in his trips abroad and
now and then took time from his bank
ing duties to visit the front lines,
soar over the trenches in airplanes
and mingle with the soldiers on the
Allied front. On one occasion he was
up in an airplane two hours, covering
large section of the battle torn
country.
When the United States declared war
on Germany Mr.. Dawson was given
one Of the nations biggest jobs, that
of chairman of the War Council of the
American Red Cross. The manner in
which he handled the gigantic task won
for him the esteem of all the world
United States government and various
countries Of Europe.
Handled Great War Work
The War Council. of the American
Red Cross was created by President
Wilson in May, 1917 and to Mr.. Dav-
son was intrusted probably the great
est humanitarian problem ever placed
on the shoulders of a private citizen.
He was not content to do his work
in New York, but moved to Washing
ton, established an office and home
there. and from the national capital
directed the energies Of the newly
created body
The Red Cross was faced with a
colossal relief and rehabilitation task
and proved equal to the undertaking.
carrying it's activities and manifold
benefits to all corners of Europe. AS
War Council chairman 1t was neces-
sary for Mr. Dawson to make many
trips overseas, 80 as to get first hand
information in the various sections
where Red Cross relief was sorely
needed. AS result of his frequent
journeys abroad no American better
undsFstood the real military situation

The life of Henry Pomeroy
Dawson is the story of re-
markable achievement of smalltown
boy. His swift and brilliant climb up
ward which ultimately won for him ad-
mttance to the house Of Morgan and
gained for him the esteem of the entire
banking world, was one of the most
spectacular in the history of American
finance
Mr.. Dawson was born in Troy, Pa,
June 13, 1867, the son Of George B
Dawson and Henrietta, Pomeroy Davi-
son. His ancestors were hardy Scots
United States in the early days, those
of his fathers family settling in New
York State. and those of his mother :
family remaining in New England. Mr..
Davison's father was a successful bus
ness man at Troy and his uncle was q
local banker
Mr.. Dawson was educated in the pub
lie schools of Troy and at Greylock In
stitute. South Williamstown, Mass
from which he was graduated IN 1856.
He had been graduated from high
school at the age of fifteen and did a
little school teaching at sixteen, in
structing boys older than himself.
While studying at Greylock he worked
on a farm during Vacauons
Decided on Banking Career
When he was nineteen years old he
decided that his tastes were such as
would lead him toward success as a
banker. He entered his uncle's bank,
which operated in Troy as POmeroy
Brothers, and was given junior clerk
ship.
Young Dawson worked hard in that
Troy bank, and after two years of it
decided that he wanted TO work IN
bigger bank than his uncle's and big
ger town than Troy. He had been
thinking about New York for some time
and came here to hunt job.
To the financial genius of Mr.. Davi-
son was due the successful outcom e
for American bankers of the negotl-
atons held in Paris in 1909 for Amer
lean participation in the great Chinese
loan-the $50 900, 900 Hankow- Szechuan
Railroad loan-which foreign bankers
had originally intended ito absorb,
with no slice awarded to American
bankers.
Mr.. Dawson was selected as the rep
resentative of the Morgan firm. Kuhn
Loeb g. Co, the National City Bank
and the First National. He went TO
Paris and there met with signal sue
cess, returning with the assurance OF
American participation in the first
definite international planning for the
international development of China.
One of the greatest coups. generally
attributed to J. P Morgan, in which
Mr.. Dawson played an important role
was the merging of three trust COM
panies early in 1910 into the Guaranty
Trust Company, with $20o,ooo,ooo OF

az inc afternoon meeting. In addition
to his evident ability and fitness for
the job he displayed one of those
minor traits which business men are
so quick to note and remember-after
the frst introduction he called every
man by name through the whole inter-
view
After Lamont had been asked to step
out for minute he was elected secre-
tnry at salary of s6 900 year
That extra thousand meant more
than appears on the surface" Dawson
said afterward, at illustrates big
business principle. Suppose we had
SAID: Mr. Lamont. you are not expert
enced In banking; we shall be able to
pay You only $4,000 he would have ac-
copied 1t. but he would have felt that
we didn't think very much of his abil-
ity BY adding a thousand to the sum
ne would make big success And he
would naturally try superatlvely hard
not to disappoint U.s."
Picks Another Partner
Later the Morgan firm was looking
Tor new partner. One morning Davi-
son was walking through Wall Street
TO his office when he almost ran into
the arms Of Dwight l.. Morrow. The
two men had met when Morrow had
been speaker a short time before at
dinner of the Bradford County pa
Club, of which Dawson was president
Beyond this he knew of Morrow as an
exceptionally capable attorney.
We found our new partner Davi-
son exclaimed to Lamont. on coming
INTO the Office a minute later.
who is it,
Dwight Morrow"
'''Thpt'u
mont, who knew the attorney well. And
Morrow was made a member of the
firm
Back in 1902 Dawson was coming out
Of Broadway restaurant one evening
when John D. Ryan and William F.
corey beckoned him over to their
table
Were organizing a new bank said
Ryan. will you recommend good
man AS PRESIDENT"
u know just the man for YOU" said
Dawson, after a minutes thought
ITS Charlie Sabin, of the National
Commercial Bank Of Albany. I'll ar
range for him to have lunch with YOU
tomorrow"
Dawson Immediately called up Sabin
on the long distance telephone.
81 want you to have luncheon with
me tomorrow at Dclmonico's," he said
How Sabin Was Put Over"
"1'm sorry, Harry" replied Sabin.
but I've been away in the West for
three weeks, and I've got so much work
piled up can't possibly do it,
Really? BY the way, Charlie, want
you to have luncheon with me to-mor-
row noon at Delmonicos.'
ave just been explaining that it's
impossible.'
That's too bad" said Dawson
quietly. (Which reminds me that |
want you to have lunch with me to-
morrow noon at Delmonico's"
"All right" replied Sabin. "I'l be
: down"
When Sabin walked into Delmon-
co's the next noon Dawson said
What really want you to do is to
60 across the street and have lunch
with two friends of mine. I shall
leave you with them. Don't forget,
/ Charlie, that you're first class man"
One secret of Mr.. Davison's ability
to carry heavy burdens lay in the ease
in which he let them slide from his
shoulders.
In action he was always on his toes
he thought instantly, he acted in
stantly. The man who called on him
in business hours must have his mes
sage on the tip Of his tongue, clear
and concise. Mr.. Dawson would
rather make ten decisions in one min
ute than one decision in ten minutes.

upon the brain to such an extent that
the patient improved rapidly. Late in
the summer his condition was so salts
factory that he was permitted to leave
for the South. He went to his estate
at Thomasville, Ga.
During his stay in the South his CON

not been at his office. however, since
summer.
1t was said upon his return from
Georgia that he would spend restful
summer at Locust Valley, and that a
continued improvement in his condi-
ton would make it possible for him
later to resume his activity with the
Morgan firm. The physicians who
operated on Mr. Dawson in August

Elliott Bacon, one of the Morgan
partners, said yesterday afternoon the
banking house would be closed "as far

Ailmcnt Two Years Old
For nearly two years previous to last
August Mr.. Dawson suffered from a
tumor pressing against his brain. This
caused headaches and sleeplessness,
and it was decided to operate. The
operation was performed August u, at
Roosevelt Hospital. A small section
Of the skull behind the ear was re
moved to relieve the pressure, but the
tumor was not removed.
