Use of a Great Name.
Here's a tip for some of our old friends who have big names and need a little ready money: Turner Beall, president of the Produce Exchange Trust Company, used to be secretary of the Produce Exchange and of the New York Southern Society. Among the men of his acquaintance he admires none so much as does Colonel William de Hertburne Washington. A little while ago he asked Colonel Washington if he might use his name in a financial transaction. Having implicit confidence in Beall, the colonel consented to receive a check for $500 for the use of his name. The financial deal made by Beall was a success, and the colonel received a check for $1,000.
