Personnel

Last week the following were news:

John William O'Leary, onetime president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and of Chicago's National Bank of the Republic (merged in 1931 with Charles Gates Dawes's Central Trust to form Central Republic Bank & Trust, which is slowly being liquidated) last week filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy. Said he: "I regret the necessity for this action. . . . As a large holder of bank stocks and in a position where the liquidation of these holdings would have had a serious effect on the general banking situation in Chicago, I found ... it was impossible for me to liquidate my indebtedness."

Arnold L. Ogden, executive vice president of Alfred Dunhill of London, class tobacconist (U. S. operating company of Dunhill International, Inc.), last week was made president of the company. In that post he succeeded David A. Schulte (who gives his name to the famed tobacco chainstores) who became chairman.

Everett Titsworth Tomlinson Jr., president of Doremus & Co., national advertising agency founded by Clarence Walker Barren, last week resigned. Vice president William H, Long Jr. was elected chairman and G. Munro Hubbard, vice president of J. G. White & Co., utility managers, succeeded to the presidency of Doremus.
