Wallace rose from office boy to a position of trust and responsibility, and
during the fifteen years of his connection with the firm handled millions of
dollars, became an expert accountant and penman, and had the advantages
of a thorough business training in foreign and domestic banking. The
broad and valuable experience which he obtained in that institution has
served him in various capacities and brought him into prominence as an
able, conservative business man.
