ho WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1925 Em 5 FOLDS DIRECTS LEGION DRIVE Noted Chicagoan Heads $5,000,000 Campaign © "One young man who stands out above all other young men in Chicago," is the way Vice President-elect Dawes des: cribes Charles W. Folds who heads the drive to secure Illinois® quota of the Daan American Legion Endowment und. . One of the many reasons why General Dawes thus characterized Mr. Folds is that as chairman of the five Liberty bond drives in the Chicago district, he so suc- cessfully directed the activities of 40,000 workers that 'the enormous. sum of $3,- 071,958,000 was raised. As a matter of fact the Chicago Liberty Ioan committee Charles W. Folds had a greater distribution per capita than any large city in the country, far $¥eseding the quota assigned to it on each oan. For more than ten years Mr. Folds has been president of the United Charities of Chicago. In 1919 and 1920 he was president of the Union League Club of Chicago. For some years he was presi- dent, and still is a director, of the Home for Destitute Crippled Children. He also is affiliated with a number of other charities. : Mr. Folds was born Aug. 23, 1870 in Oshkosh, Wis. He was reared in Minne- apolis, attending the grade and high schools. He later took an extension course at the University of Minnesota. Mr. Folds entered the Northwestern National Bank of Minneapolis in 1889 as a messenger. At that time the late James B. Forgan, aterwards head of the First National Bank of Chicago, was cashier. He came to Chicago in 1899 as repre- sentative of the Commercial Paper bankers, Charles Hathaway and company of New York, later becoming a general partner when the name was changed to Hathaway, Smith, Folds and company, which has continued up to the present time. In 1923 Mr. Folds started an in- vestment banking house under his own name which is now Folds, Buck and com- pany, with offices at 208 South La Salle street. "In the hands of such a dynamo of energy as Mr. Folds, the Legion Endow- orphans of veterans is absolutely assured of success," said Howard P. Savage, commander, American Legion, Depart- ment of Illinois.
