ISAIAS WARREN HELLMAN

 

Isaias Warren Hellman.  Probably no one family has been more conspicuously identified with the history of banking and finance on the Pacific Coast than that of Hellman.  One of the younger representatives of this distinguished family, who has already risen to prominence in San Francisco banking circles, is Isaias Warren Hellman.

 

     He was born in San Francisco, September 10, 1899, son of I. W. and Frances (Jacob) Hellman.  His father, I. W. Hellman, was president of the Union Trust Company of San Francisco, was vice president of the Wells Fargo Nevada National Bank, and vice president of the Farmers and Merchants National Bank of Los Angeles, and chairman of the Board of Columbus Savings and Loan Society.

 

    Isaias Warren Hellman was reared in a home of wealth and culture, was given liberal advantages, and graduated with the Bachelor or Arts degree from the University of California in 1920.  In the four years since his graduation he has rapidly advanced in banking circles. During 1920 and 1921 he was a clerk in the Wells Fargo Nevada National Bank, and then spent about a year of work and further education in metropolitan banking methods in New York.  Returning to the West, he was assistant cashier of the Union Trust Company of San Francisco in 1922-23 and in 1924 became vice president and director of the Wells Fargo Bank and the Union Trust Company.  He is also a director of the Farmers and Merchants National Bank of Los Angeles.

     Mr. Hellman, who is unmarried, is a republican, a member of Temple Emanuel at San Francisco, and belongs to the Concordia Club, Argonaut Club, Olympic Club, Union League Club and Beresford Country Club.
