ANDREW W. MELLON (1855-1937). Financier; Industrialist; Secretary of the Treasury. Mellon was a Pittsburgh banker and industrial visionary who was almost single handedly responsible for the development of entire industries (aluminum, carborundum) and heavily involved in the founding of several large industrial enterprises whose names are today recognized world-wide. At the time he was appointed Treasury Secretary in the Harding administration, he was one of the world's wealthiest men. He remained Secretary of the Treasury throughout the Harding and Coolidge administrations, and was undoubtedly the most influential member of these administrations. Imprinted Secretary of the Treasury card signed. 3" x 1 3/4". Some light tape residue. Fine.
