V PAPERS OF FRANK A. VANDERLIP President National City Bank 1909 - 1919 Vice Pres. " " " 1901 - 1909 Asst. Secretary of Treasury 1897 - 1901 TO: Miss Adams Dec. 17, 19$h FROM: M. Burnett In the search for the papers of Frank A. Vanderlip I was referred by the librarian of the National City Bank to Mr. Hevener of the Bank's Public Relations Department. He reported after investigation that there were no papers of Mr. Vgnderlip at the National City Bank. He suggested we call his son, Frank A. Vanderlip, Jr., at $2 Wall St. (PI U- 36Lth). Mr. Vanderlip said that there were papers in existence and he thought there would be no trouble about granting access to them for scholarly research purposes. His mother would have to give permission. She has already allowed a student from Chicago to c onsult them in connection with his thesis on Yerkes, a Chicago traction magnate. Mrs. Vanderlip!s address is kO$ Lexington Ave., N.Y.C. (MU 6- 6333). (According to Mr. Hevener, she is elderly but still active in charitable causes and I presume this is a business office address.) However, Mr. Vanderlip said his sister was more familiar with the papers since she was his secretary for a number of years. She just arrived back from Europe on December l£, and he had not yet succeeded in reaching her by phone. The number is: Briarclifff 6- 2278 . Her home address is: Mrs. Dudley N. Schoales, Scarborough, New York. (Virginia Vanderlip) Perhaps a letter from you would be the best approach. Mr. Vanderlip, Sr., wrote an autobiography, with Boyden Sparks, in 1935, entitled "From Farm Boy to Financier." Mr. Vanderbilt, Jr. said that his father once commented that the title should have added to it "and back again." I suppose he referred to his estate in Scarborough. flXo© M A t ^ J ^ ^ w O J U ^ I ^ ^ A M U ^ L A Mr. Vanderlip said his father had written other books and also an introduction referring to the Federal Reserve System. He said he would have a list of the titles made and send it to me. I have made a card for the Biography file under "Bankers".
