WAS BEST THE BODY EVER HELD
! Meeting Was Great Success From Every Point of
View—Far Fry From First Gathering Held
Fight Years Ago at Deer Park, W. Va.
IO I. A. FLEMING.
] “It iiiih some convention."
From every point of view, from
the liredtli of financial subjects dis
cussed, the speeches delivered by
Merle Trorpe editor of The Nation’s
Business, and George .1. Seay, gover
nor of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond; tin* ppper read l»y the
juniors of Hie American Institute of
; Banking, local chapter, tli« topics
; discussed and the reports made by
the various committees of the District
Bankers’ Association through their
chairman, and Bert Galley's response
to congratulations offered him on re
covery from his serious illness that
prevented his attendance on the 1925
convention, the convention was a
success.
From a social standpoint U was “the
best ever.” Many receptions were held
every evening and there was an in
termingling and fellowship leading up
to the grand finale, the family dinner,
with the entire personnel of the con
vention gathered together in the big
dining room, where a program of rare
excellence was carried out under the
leadership of the entertainment com
mittee, where the prizes of the
various sporting events were Awarded
and good fellowship and sociability
dominated. •
It seems to he the same story every
year, each convention is a master
piece of good management, each
reaches a. little higher degree of
success than its predecessor and each
attracts such general attention, and
good report passed from those fortu
nate enough to have been present
to the unfortunates’that were absent
that when another year rolls around
Urn attendance is increased.
