...eminence rather than bringing spectacular fortunes out of other fields. Thus Chairman Pierson of the new combine worked for the Hanover National for 13 years before joining the N. Y. National Exchange (later the Irving Trust) as a clerk. Mr. Clarke was 12 years (1889-1901) in becoming assistant cashier of the American Exchange National though he was to succeed his father, Dumont Clarke, as president in 1910. President-elect Ward went straight from Yale to a bottom-level job with the Irving Trust, his rise to the presidency in 18 years (1901-19) being accounted exceptionally rapid...
...fetid air, stale perfumes; the shouldering, stupid, perspiring women who just want to know "how much this is"; clerks who indicate, by a sad shake of the head, that the English language is a closed book to them.

A year later, he was made cashier, three years later Vice President, and in another year more President?at age 32. The way he increased the bank's business was so marked that it soon had to move to larger quarters. Its lease had two years to run, and so Davison organized the Bankers' Trust Co. to fill the vacant quarters. Today it is the largest trust...
...Manhattan looking for a job, but did not find it, went on to Bridgeport, Conn., where he got a job as bank runner. He was promoted to bookkeeper, then teller. He heard of a new bank opening in Manhattan (the Astor Place Bank) and by sheer persistence worried its cashier into giving him a job. He was paying teller of that bank when he had his first experience with crime. A man came in with a check for $1,000 made out to God Almighty. He pointed a revolver at Davison's head and demanded the money. Davison read...
