He was Gerald Warburg who, when he left Harvard, chose to be a 'cellist rather than enter his father Felix's banking business (Kuhn, Loeb & Co.).* Four years ago when he organized the Stradivarius Quartet, Gerald Warburg toured with it to San Francisco.

...First National. In financial stature George F. Baker with his sideburns and fedora towered beside his great & good friend John Pierpont Morgan, the Elder. Jacob Henry Schiff rose to the undisputed leadership of U. S. Jewry. Almost single-handed he built up the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. from a small concern founded in Lafayette, Ind. by two retired commission merchants, to a point where its only rival in power & prestige was the House of Morgan.
