Roberts George E. Roberts exemplifies the successful modern business man. Eco- nomic Adviser of the National City Bank of New York assisting the presi- dent, Mr. Roberts is a man vital to the nation. Beginning as a printer and progress- ing into news writing, Mr. Roberts finally became owner of the Fort Dodge Messenger. This experience led to his appointment in 1898 as Director of the Mint at Washington, D. C., where he served under five presidents-for a longer term than that of any other director in the history of the govern- ment. He studies economic conditions affecting business, and supervises a monthly publication summarizing and discussing them. WILLIAM S.
