Frank P. Morse,
co.manager of
C. D. Barney & "S"~'1<s'S" ''''
Company, pres Dunbar Hare
ident, says scores of acceptances
have been received.
He predicts that the attend.
ance will be the largest ever, not
only because Of the out-of town
visitors but on account of the fact
that practically all local members
are going to bring several guests.
Mr.. Morse also said that many
seats on the miniature "stock ex.
change" which is to be feature
Of the party, already have been
sold, and that there are many
more applicants.
Last year at the annual party,
Mr.. Morse lost a magnificent
imported Panama. He left it
along with a lot Of other hats,
and when he went to get his he
found in its stead a cheap imi-
tation.
Said Mr.. Morse:
"I'd have sued the club if I
hadn't been elected president.
That was the way 1 felt about
It."
Thomas w. Brahany, manager
Of e. A. Pierce & Co., newly.
elected president Of the Washing
ton Ticker Club, has not, as yet,
decided when he will hold the
annual induction party, which
the new chief executive, accord
ing to custom, must give to his
fellow members.
Mr.. Brahany, however, is said
to be making pretentious plans
and is expected to make some an
nouncement shortly.
Barnum L. Cotton, of the Ma
Honal Savings and Trust Com
pany, chairman of the transporta-
ton committee of the District of
Columbia Bankers Association,
has sent out the first call for
the sixteenth annual convention.
It will be held May 27-30, inclu.
sive, at White Sulphur Springs,
w. Va.
The "call' is a most attractive
pamphlet, contains a picture of
the Greenbrier Hotel, where the
convention will be held, and urges
all members to attend and bring
their daughters.
The pamphlet author wakes
poetic in this:
"The annual opportunity for
conference and consideration of
subjects of vital importance to
the member banks. for cement
ing the ties Of friendship and
cooperation between members of
the banking profession. for rec
reation amid idyllic surround.
ings. Only two days absence
from business that's because
one is a Sunday and other
o holiday"
It's printed on greenish blue
paper, or blush green, accord
ing to ones sense of color values,
and is most artiStically gotten up.
One can almost see behind it
the fine Italian hand of Eliot H.
Thomson, of the Washington Loan
and Trust Company, the associa-
tons demon and distinguished
press agent. Mr.. Thomson has
flair for such things.
Edward w. Gamble, who CONAN
ages the C. D. Barney shop with
Frank p. Morse, is looking forward
to one of his great days this COM
ing Friday.
The occasion will be his annual
tennis match with Walter Selig-
man. one of the partners of j. &
W. Seligman. Mr.. Seligman wired
Mr.. Gamble yesterday that he
was on his way to Washington
from Florida, and warned that he
had been putting in some in
tensive practice.
tMr. Gamble and Mr.. Seligman
have been playing this annual
match for a number of years.
"a. Scott Offutt, vice president
OF the City Bank Of Washington,
is receiving many congratulations
for the great part he played in
making the new bank possible.
fClarence F. Burton, president Of
the city'S newest financial institu
ttcn, says that Mr.. Offutt handled
all the technical details leading
up to the formation of the bank.
This was a considerable task since
the accounts of the closed Mt.
Vernon and the Franklin Ma
tional, merged with the unre-
stricted Washington Mechanics
Savings Bank, had to be trans
ferred.
