Description

In February 1931, it took courage, determination, and foresight to open a new stock exchange firm...and these were exactly the qualities that Wayne Hummer and George Barnes brought to their venture.Both men were successful commercial bankers who saw, in the midst of the Great Depression, a remarkable opportunity for a service firm that could provide small and medium-sized banks with sound, long-term investment advice.Joined shortly after by LaSalle Street veteran Harry A. Baum, they articulated a business philosophy based firmly on integrity, quality, and reliability…a philosophy that quickly began to win them clients and friends. They established working relationships with banks throughout the Midwest; and, gradually, through referrals of their bank clients, they began to accept individual accounts.
