CHIEF OF COMMERCE BUREAU 



The appointment of Burwell S. Cutler, of 

 Buffalo, as Chief of the Bureau of Foreign 

 and Domestic Commerce, has been confirmed 

 by the Senate. Mr. Cutler, who is well known 

 in manufacturing circles in western New York, 

 came into the Bureau six months ago at a 

 nominal salary to assist in putting the organi- 

 zation on a thoroughly business basis. He 

 was made first assistant chief, but since the 



resignation of Dr. E. E. Pratt has been acting 

 chief. 



Mr. Cutler was born in Buffalo and finished 

 his scholastic education at Lake Forest Uni- 

 versity and Harvard. For 15 years he has 

 been president of an important Buffalo manu- 

 facturing concern and has been identifi d in 

 an official capacity with numerous business 

 houses and civic organizations throughout 

 New York State.
