George D. Mackay

Although born in Brooklyn, fifty-six years ago, this is the worst that can be said about him and it is fully atoned for by the strain of excellant Scotch blood he has inherited. He was educated in the Polytechnic Institute of his native and interesting suburb. For thirty-two years he has been a prominent member of the New York Stock Exchange. He has the welfare of several important charities at hear. Is fond of athletics and yachting and belongs to about a dozen clubs. Is popular and highly regarded.
