JOHN II. RICH

In the death of John Fl. Rich
this City and State lose an out.
standing leader in business and
civic life. AS Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Ninth
Federal Reserve Bank and Federal
Reserve Agent. Mr.. Rich occupied
and brought honor to a trying po-
sition in critical war and recon
struction times.
When the Federal Reserve Act
was passed many bankers and
financiers regarded it as ques-
tionable experiment. With real
! foresight Mr.. Rich discerned the
advantages of the system and bent
every effort to realize them for the
Northwest. His wisdom had been
fashioned by years of experience
on a farm and in business and
banking under frontier conditions.
He knew the sensitiveness of mod
ern industry and credit, the rhythm
OF industrial enterprise and the
Importance of combining business
stability and initiative. When he
acted or spoke upon these prob
lens. he did so as one having au-
/ thority. He was thus the logical
man to head the Federal Reserve
Bank of this district.
This imposed arduous duties up
on him, but at no time during the
critical period in which he served
did his judgment. fairness and un-
derstanding sympathy fail to be eff
fective. From first hand knowl-
edge he was particularly interested
in the problems of the farmer and
deeply concerned to bring about the
proper coordination of agriculture
with other forms of industry. That
the Federal Reserve system has
won favor by it's useful service in
critical times through the main
tenance OF proper banking reserves
and the mobilization of currency
resources, the Northwest owes
largely to John II. Rich.
The life and service of Mr.. Rich
carry a lesson to every aspiring
youth. AS a poor boy lie began by
keeping books in small hardware
store. Step by sep he became
manager of a sawmill. an elevator,
bank and finally director of the
Nations banking resources. Pow
erty was only a challenge to him.
The very name he bore symbolizes
the wealth OF ability. kindness of
heart and sound judgment that
men found in him.-MinneapOlis
