And It is w true that1 we moderns look 'upon it as a platitude. However, 1 have you any doubts, Just look at Wall .Streeti. Why, a banker who has been doing business on Wall Street for more than sixty years has just been acclaimed as be: longing to the elect. Once upon a time, away back in 18G8 a Democratic national convention was held in New York. The country delegates, ft was said at the time, went in fear and trembling. They had heard fearsome tales about Wall Street and the bankers arid brokers who fleeced lambs therein. - Those country delegates apparently ran into something that gave them a fresh scare, for it was not until last year that they and their successors and assigns mustered up courage to hold another convention in New York. And, of course, you recall the shudders of horror that swept through whole delegations at the 1924 convention at the very thought of Wall Street and its bankers, to say nothing of the mention thereof right out in meeting. And now, only the other day, at a big dinner of the Bond Club of. New York, bankers and financial magnates to the number of 250 gathered in honor of a banker who has done business for many a year right in AVall Street. Whats more, Elbert H. Gary introduced this banker guest of honor. Whos Elbert H. Gary? Why, head of the United States Steel corporation, no less. Aiwl whats still more to the point Elbert H. Gary, In introducing this Wall Street banker guest of honor, spoke of him as New Yorks leading citizen ! And among the 250 men were Secretary of the United States Treasury Andrew J. Mellon and J. Pierpont Morgan. And they joined In the applause as heartily as any one. Indeed each made a speech. That guest of honor was George F. Baker, president of the First National of New York City. In 1923 Wall Street was decorated from end to end July 25 In honor of the completion of his sixty years in the. financial district. March 27 nexL he will reach his 85th birthday and' Watt Street Is planning to do more celebrating. Mr. Baker may or riiajr. not be "New Yorks leading citizen; But be certainly comes pretty near being New Yorks most interesting citizen. Take a look at Whos Who. Yes; theres a little something about him there and it begins this way: George Fisher Baker, born March 27, 1840, chairman of the board, First National bank. New York, 1909 A few more lines give bint of bis financial activities since DICKINSON 1 - 1909. But It says nothing about the life and career of George Fisher Baker previous to 1909 when he was sixty-nin- e years of age. Every morning at 8 :45 George F. Balcer appears out of the crowd and mounts the steps of the bank building at 2 Wall street. ; You can set your watch by his coming. He doesnt walk like an old man. He wears deacons whiskers and hes soberly dressed. It looks as if he had got Into the wrong place and belonged in Trinity church across the way. lie will not be interviewed. And all these years until the other day the details of his early life have been, unknown to even bis intimate friends. The New York newspapermen dug away at his record until they found out that he had given away $12,000,000 more or less In public benefactions. And they got shrewd financial men to express the opinion that there are only two or three richer Americans. And then, like a bolt out of a clear sky, Charles E. Mitchell, president of the National City bank, the rival of the First National, told all about the early life of George F. Baker. It was at a dinner of the Manhattan section of the New York State Bankers association, at which Mr. Baker And here Is was guest of honor. what Mr. Mitchell said about the In mystery man of Wall Street, part: The first American ancestor of Mr. In Boston In 1635, a lad He settled In Dorof twenty-onchester, Mass., and for six generations the family lived there.

Baker went to school In Williamsburg. Incidentally, he had an Uncle John, whom he used to see sitting up on the porch while others were at work. He inquired how It was, and was told that 'Uncle John lived on Interest money and didnt have to work. Thereupon, he declared that some day he was going to live on interest money, too. "He made an early start. Beneath the vines he found cranberries other pickers had overlooked These he sold for $7. "From Williamsburg school he went That was the start of the national banking system. Mr. Bakers friend, Mr. Thompson, who was then one of the financial lenders In New York, opened a national bank with a capital of $200,000 and made Mr. Baker teller. Mr. Thompson offered Mr. Baker all the stock he wanted, and said he would carry It for him, hut Mr. Baker, having heard that one should never borrow money, refused to use more than his accumulated savings, and his first investment was thirty shares of stock in the First National Bank of New York, with offices In the basement at 2 Wall street.
