Is to be the
third corner of
the c ON b n e,
which unites
the Mt. Vernon - ~
and the Wash Dunbar Hare
ington Mechanics Savings Bank.
The latter institution never was
closed, except during the bank
ing holiday last year, and &C.
cording to c. F. Burton, presi-
dent. has not restricted deposit
in more than three decades.
To Mr.. Burton goes most of the
glory for the merger, although
lots OF other people might like
to step in and claim the ac-
colade.
And while on that subject, it
might be stated that rumor has
1t that John B. Cochran is going
to be chairman of the board of
the combined bank.
Mr.. Cochran formerly was presi-
dent Of the Franklin National
and has been, to a considerable
extent, factor in whipping that
institution into the shape where
It can join the merger.
Mr.. Cochran's election as chair
man Of the board, however, will
not take place until after the
Franklin joins the combination,
That's expected by April /.
Alexander McCook Dunlop, one
Of the better-known brokerage
boys, is sporting a cane these
days. It's not for looks, though
it's because he needs it.
Mr.. Dunlop, now associated
with Hemphill, Noyes & Co., for
merly was with the closed Good
body shop.
He has a yen for ice skating, so
the other night, being in good
fettle, he sailed forth. He skated
to his hearts content until a
twig got in the way.
Is he sore? Well, note the cane.
Clyde Asher, who in the-not-
dim -diStant-paSt was president of
Columbia Country Club and a
former director Of the Liberty
National Bank, is again making
his appearance on Washington's
''uttle Wall Street."
Mr.. Asher has been to Florida
for some time and now boasts a
swell coat of tan. He's a very
good golfer, you know.
Thomas ]. Mangan, Of the
Hemphill-Noyes outfit, is going
out of circulation. His wife and
three children are coming back
from Pinehurst.
Mr.. Mangan went down to that
North Carolina resort last week
to see them, but they are headed
back-due today. Maybe, he con-
tracted that cold he has because
Of the trip or the lack of restrain
ing supervision.
Mr.. Mangan, if you don't know
It, is one of the better known
young brokerage men in Washing
ton. He's having his hands full
now that his associate, Chester
Lockwood, is vacationing in Flor
ida.
Alan Melhado, well known in
Washington, and now in charge of
the investment department of E.
A. Pierce & Co. was in the city yes
terday.
March II, you may recall is st.
Patrick'S day.
No WaShingtonian, however, is
looking forward to that event
more than Michael F. Calnan, vice
president and cashier of Liberty
National Bank.
In fact, he's counting the days.
On that date the Friendly Sons of
st. Patrick are going to throw a |
jamboree, and Mr.. Calnan has
never missed one of these set-toS,
since he was admitted to the |
charmed circle.
His friends. however, are won-
dering just what this prohibition |
repeal is going to do to that party
and if Mr.. Calnan will descend
from that high seat on the water |
wagon he's been occupying many,
many days.
John Wheeler, that new GUS
toners man recently acquired by
Robert c. Jones, head of Robert |
C. Jones & Company, Inc, always
looks little frazzled after a week.
end.
He's a great dancer. they say.
That accounts for that tired Mon
day-morning look.
Mr.. Jones adds cheering note. |
He says all the weekend activities
Of young Wheeler aren't hurting |
him.
Mr.. Wheeler doesn't know this
himself, but Mr.. Jones thinks he's
going to make a great customers
man. Mr.. Wheeler, you know,
Joined the Jones firm just about
the time this column was started.
