Governor :,leyer:
This information is furnished relative to Will J. Coad, of
Omaha, Nebraska.
Senator Lowell today telephoned me Mr. Coad has
been mentioned as a possible director of the proposed Reconstruction
Finance Corporation and will accept.
WILL J. COAD:
Born in Wyoming 1879 of Irish parentage, and a resident
of Omaha since 1885. A Catholic and a Democrat.
Educated in the Sisters of Mercy grade school and
Creighton University with a three year graduate course in law
at Harvard University where he received a Doctor of Law degree
iI 1903.
Coad practiced law in Omaha and was Assistant County
attorney in 1912, at which time he became Vice President of
the Packers National Bank of South Omaha. In 1916 he became
President of the Omaha Flour Mill Company. He iiJhas been
Chairman of the Board of the City Water ',:orks of Omaha (which
owns and operates the water, Eas and ice busi•ness for the city
of Omaha.)
In 1920 he was elected a director of the Union Stock
Yards Company in South Omaha and has been a director on the
Board of the Omaha Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas
City.
He is a man of small stature but vigorous in mind and body
with a hivhly developed dollar sense. He has the backing of
Senator Howell and if appointed, would be a popular choice
Lj
among mid-west millers and
bankers. He is a married man with
at least one child.

Honorable Eugene Meyer, Governor,

My dear Sir:
Our Mr. Carl Weil conferred with
the writer in regard to recommending Mr. W.
J. Coed of Omaha as Viestern Representative
of the National Reconstruction Board. I am
enclosing confirmation of Mr. Carl Yell's
telegram herewith.
I would like to add my recommendation to Mr. Carl Weil's as I think he would
make a very desirable representative.
I just wonder if you wouldn't like
to consider Mr. Carl Weil, our Vice President,
again on the Board? I am sure you will recall
and remember him when he was on the ar inance
Corporation Committee.
The officers of this bank as well as
the writer would appreciate your giving him considerntion and I feel confident he would again
render satisfactory service.
I will appreciate your kind consideration and with personal regards, I am
_espectfully,
,—.--,...
