        GEORGE URBAN, JR., is universally recognized as one of  the
     strongest men in the fields of Buffalo industrialism, finance and
     corporate enterprise.  MR. URBAN's business connections are remarkable
     for extent and diversity. He stands in the frontrank of those far-
     sighted, brainy men who are developing to the utmost the powers of
     electrical science and are applying it to the uses of transportation,
     manufacture and commerce. He is also very prominently identified with
     the management of several important banking institutions. He is a
     director of two insurance companies. He has large land interests and
     is a potent factor in the commercial problems relating to the great
     grain and produce staples of the country. He has found time to take a
     high and responsible role in Republican politics, to show a citizen-
     like earnestness and a practical capability in municipal affairs, and
     to give a share of his attention to the amenities and obligations of
     social life.
