AND FINANCE -By B. C. FORBES. (Copyright, 1922, by B. C.

Forbes.) NEW YORK, June a day or two the country, will receive. news of another bank merger, engineered by Marquette (Mich.) banker, who invaded New York a dozen years ago while, still under 40, and succeeded in doing what no other banker had been able to find a way to do. This Middle Westerner, not 1 content to be president of one sizable bank, determined that he would devise some method for dotting Manhattan's crowded island with banking establish ments. SO that banking facilities would be brought within easy distance all of New York's 5,000,000 people. ale Everyone assured him it was a impossible thing for a National to do, as it couldn't open branches.

Other aggressive National Bank heads had wanted. and wanted very badly, to do this same thing, but had found themselves stumped. 88 de The enterprising young Westerner, however, had learned from his Dutch mother that if you make up your mind strongly enough to do a worth -while thing, you can either find a way to do it or make one. So he began to tackle the problem which had baffled all other banking giants. And he solved it.

He had dug and dug into legislative tomes until he unearthed an old, forgotten law, passed in 1865, which read to him as though it permitted a National Bank to operate branch establishments in its own city. Overjoyed, he submitted his "And" to the Comptroller of the Currency and other Washington officials and they agreed that he could go ahead with his ambitious plan. Thus it was that Louis G. Kaufman became the father of National Bank branches in the city of New York. The call he had received from New York was to become president of the Chatham National Bank.

He had received it solely because he had earned national recognition by his reeord in developing, first, the bank he started in as a messenger and second, the First National Bank of Marquette, of which he had become president, and by his statesmanlike activities as president of the Michigan Bankers' Association and as a member the executive council of the great American Bankers' Association. The Chatham was a fine, stanch. old institution. But it was not big enough to this dynamic young from Michigan. Kaufman first acquired the Phoenix National Bank.

But even the combined Chatham and Phoenix did not half fill his program. So he went ahead and mapped out a plan which received the indorsement of the Comptroller of the Currency, whereby his bank absorbed the Century Bank, a State institution having twelve branches, the Century first joining the national system on the of the merger. Other institutions were absorbed. sis Now Kaufman is about ready to announce the result of another "shopping" expedition. The Chatham and Phoenix is ready to take over the Union Exchange National Bank.

This will add some 000 of resources and will bring the Chatham and Phoenix Bank's total. resources above the $200,000,000 mark. as All this Kaufman has accomplished inside of twelve years and before reaching the -century milestone. 9 Isn't this a delightful little touch? Absorbed though he has been in large affairs, both banking and industrial, and compelled many, many nights to carry work home, he is still a director of the Marquette County Savings Bank, of which he was once a messenger boy, and is still, also, president of the First National Bank of Marquette, his first love. The Chatham and Phoenix is the only National Bank that has covered New York from the Battery to the Bronx with its banking houses.

It does business, not for a narrow circle of customers in Wall Street, all engaged in similar activities; it taps serves practically every industry and class in the entire metropolis, thus diversifying its activities and not leaving it at the mercy of whatever might befall any one industry, trade or financial group. But, likely as not, this aggressive Middle Westerner will keep on branching out, to speak. By such is America made. Mexico Revolt 'News' To ex-President PARIS, June the Associated de la Barra, former provisional president of Mexico, was astonished when he received of the manifesto issued El Paso Sunday, over the name ate Felix Diaz, setting forth the names of the president and members of a cabinet of a provisional government which, it was said, Diaz proposed to establish.
