The body of Maurice Blank, founder of the Marmorosh Bank in Roumania, who died Friday in a Vienna sanitarium, was sent yesterday to Roumania. The Roumanian government’s Regent Council and the King sent condolences to his son. Aristide. The late Blank was known as Roumania’s Rothschild. He was a great philanthropist and one of the founders of Roumania’s industries.
It was erroneously reposted in yesterday’s “Bulletin” that Aristide Blank has succumbed.
