BERNARD MARCUS PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES BANK
At the meeting of the Directors of the Bank of United States the announcement of the election of Bernard K. Marcus as President to suceed his late father, Joseph S. Marcus, was authorized.
Mr. Marcus, who is now 37 years old, started in the Bank of United States as Cashier. He has been the active executive head of the bank for the past seven years. “During this period.” the Wall Street Journal says, “the Bank of United States has led the financial institutions of this country in gains, in deposits without absorption or mergers.”
Mr. Marcus studied at Columbia University, from which he graduated in 1911.
The Board also authorized the announcement that Saul Singer was elected Executive Vice-President as Chairman of the Executive Committee and that Henry W. Pollack, former State Senator and Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee and introducer of the 1911 bill to revise state banking laws was elected to the Board.
In 1913 the Bank of United States was founded with a capital of $100,000. At the present time the resources of the bank are in excess of $100,000,000.
Writing of the election of Mr. Marcus, the “Commercial and Financial World” says: “The new President has long been a prominent figure in commercial, industrial and banking circles, being universally esteemed as an executive and financier. He is especially well known for the achievements he has rolled up in his capacity as active executive head of the bank for the past seven years.”
