Is Your Name
WEIMER?
DO YOU KNOW THAT:

DO YOU KNOW THAT:
Weimer, an old and honored sur
name, is principally of German
origin. 1t is the equivalent of Wei
mar and admits of a few deriva-
tions. For example, according to
some authorities on nomenclature,
It was the name often bestowed in
medieval times upon emigrants
from the community of Weimar
1t is said also that it was applied to
those who lived on or near church
property, and still again there is
some reason to believe that Weimer
stems from the old personal name
Wigmar.
John Weimer Q75S-1840) served
as corporal in the Pennsylvania
troops during the Revolutionary
War.
The first census of the United
States, taken in $780, has a listing
Of Peter Weimer who was a resi-
dent of Berks County Pennsylvania
and head of family at that time.
The census figures of the same
year for Maryland have no refer
ences to the name Weimer.
According to the Pennsylvania
German Pioneers, published in
1894 by the Pennsylvania German
Society and listing the immigrant
arrivals at the Port of Philadelphia
from 1927 to 1908, Hans Weimer
arrived on the ship Mercury" on
May 20, 1875. Jacob Weimer came
on the ship Janet on October
7, 1851 and Martin Weimer arrived
on the ship Union" on September
80 IVA.
Albert Barnes Weimer 1857
1881 of Philadelphia was known
nationally for his accomplishments
as an attorney. He was the author
of Railroad Law Of Pennsylvania
agency of the Federal government.
This bill, amending the Federal
Home Loan Bank Act, would af-
feet only the associations which
are members Of a Federal Home
Loan Bank, and therefore such
legislation would be only partial
solution to the program of mis-
leading savings-and-loan
ton advertising, about which l have
made recent statements in the
Senate and to the press.
After the investigation by the
Senate subcommittee. it can be de-
cided what steps should be taken
to protect the public against dis
honest savings-and-loan -associa-
tion operators.
The advertisements of some Of
these INSCRIPTIONS operators
name as the insurer a company
with an address in a foreign coun-
try, where it would be most diff
cult to compel payment of insur-
ance Some operators display an
emblem which bears a strong
overall resemblance to the en-
blem used by institutions whose
accounts are insured by the Fed
eral Savings and Loan Insurance
Corporation, a Government agency
The name of one foreign com
pany through the use of the word
American, was no doubt de
signed to cause investors to be
misled in this respect.
From our preliminary examina-
ton, it would appear that an in
vestigation of the so-called com
mercially insured" operators
would disclose Irregularities from
which the public should be pro
tected.
The great majority of savings
and loan firms are above re-
proach and are performing a
great service to the savers and
home owners of the country. To
clean out the few bad ones would
greatly benefit the many good ones.
