INTRODUCES
.... W. Sargeant Nixon
"The mail behind the scorns" '. . . This phrase probably -best
describes. YY. Sargeant Nixon, Cashier nl the Kveeport Hank. He has

t ies unlumwn.
His banking career, which
was started when he was 18
years old, is rivaled in success
only by bis public-spirited
efforts. It has been said that If
one could place all of the build-ings,
in whose origin Mr. Nixon
played tht major part, into one
setting, he could be called the
founder of this .particular com-munity:
Among these monu-ments
of his organizing and
financing achievements can be
found banks, industrial build,
ings, business blocks, a post
office, theatre, and .many other-varied
enterprises. Most of
Freeport's civic accomplish-ments
find Mr. Nixon an active
and loyal organizer and sup-porter.
As hanking is his vocation, sr»
is civic, work his avocation, both
are closely ' welded together—
.combining universal good with
bis business enterprises. In this
way, Mr. Nixon IUIH.always been
one of the most prominent or
public servants, yet never held
a public olttce.
The name "Barge Nixon" has
been legion in most all societies
and organizations. Before coming to Freeport he served as president
of an Exchange Club and Board of Trade in New Jersey. He wao
