Horace Henry Baxter[edit]

Did Horace Henry Baxter actually serve as a bank director? According to page 66 of America's Successful Men of Affairs, "General Baxter had large interest in... The Continental Bank of New York..." The book was published in 1895.

Hall, Henry, ed. (1895). America's Successful Men of Affairs: An Encyclopedia of Contemporaneous Biography. Vol. 1. New York Tribune. p. 65-66 – via Internet Archive.

However, the German-American Bank did not change its name until 1918.

Wilson, Ross J. (2016). New York and the First World War: Shaping an American City. Routledge. p. 186. ISBN 9781317087700 – via Google Books.

Thus, something is not correct and there must have been 2 different banks of the same name. -- 50.195.200.161 (talk) 03:41, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
