~ som men,
E] oers of Congress
4 have received
as many as 300
sa@ letters of pro-
Dunbar Hare test daily, and
the flood goes on.
And while on the same subject
It might be stated that hundreds
Of stock exchange personageS are
pouring into the city now. They
represent most of the small stock
exchanges throughout the United
States.
There are so many here that
many of the leading brokerage
firms are being forced to put on
extra service--special wires and
the like.
Ira Westheimer, the Camera OF
the firm of Westheimer & Com
pany, will be in town today. Like
his brother, Henry, who listened
in on the securities act investi-
CATION last week, he wants to lend
an ear to the ground.
AS usual, A. Harmer Reside,
manager of the local office Of
the company, will be on his toes.
Mr.. Reside c'Dutch" to us)
was so excited over the news
that he would not take his
beautiful wife to a movie to see
Clarke Gable in action.
Mr.. Reside, you know, is quite
Q crooner, and, being a hand
some man, has reputedly had sew
0ral movie offers.
Thomas w. Brahany, of E. A.
Pierce and Company, was so con.
fident that he would be elected
president of the Washington
Ticker Club he took most of yes
terday afternoon off to prepare
for the event.
He was not disappointed. He's
the president and the annual
party will be on him.
Ralph Wolfe, of MacKubin,
Legg and Company, was elevated
to the vice presidency, and if
nothing unforeseen happens in
the interim will succeed Mr.. Bra
hany as prexy. Under the Ticker
Club management, the vice pres
ident is almost automatically the
next goat" although there is the
formality Of nominating COM
mittee.
Chauncey Parker, Of Auchin-
Gloss, Parker & Redpath, is going
to succeed Mr.. Wolfe as secretary,
while F. j. F.. Thiel, of j. s. Bache
& Co., and Earl w. Corby, of w.
B. Hibbs & Co., are the new di-
rectorS.
1ncidently, Mr.. Corby was the
former president Of the outfit,
and not only gave one swell party,
but another which some say was
much sweller. He's just back
from Florida.
Frank Morse, manager of Charles
D. Barney & Co.'S local office, once
upon a time was news hound.
He still has the instinct, watches
the news wire service ticker which
has been installed in his office
and reads newspapers for six and
seven hourS+after his brokerage
business is through, though.
Clarence F. Burton is now down.
town. as he calls it. He's at the
Mt. Vernon Savings Bank, which
reopened yesterday after being
closed for a year. Mr.. Burton was
formerly executive vice president
Of the Washington Mechanics
Savings Bank, which absorbed the
closed Mt. Vernon. Now he's
president, and he's at the Mt.
Vernon branch, instead of the
main office, so to speak, in the
3400 block of Connecticut Avenue
N. w.
Eliot H. Thomson, one of those
plugging publicity men, has an
other job on his hands. He's with
the Washington Loan and Trust
Company, and will have charge of
arranging the exhibit of the
American Institute of Banking
that is to be displayed at the Will
lard Hotel during that organiza-
tion'S annual convention here in
June.
Mr.. Thomson will have charge
Of displaying the material to be
sent here by A. I. B. chapters
throughout the country, which will
include newspaper publicity, edu-
cational prospectus. posters, book
lets, programs, chapter magazines
and the various other types of IN
Stitute publicity. The exhibit is
one of the attractial features of
the convention, and always arouses
much interest among the dele
gates.
