      In 1906, I entered the publishing business. In 1907, I entered the United Cigar Manufacturing Company. In 1909, I was elected secretary of the Cigar Manufacturing Company; and in 1912, I was elected vice-president of the same company. In 1912, I was appointed by Mayor Gaynor on the commission to draft a new moving-picture law for New York City. I drew what is known as the "Folks ordinance", which was passed by the board of aldermen and has served as a model for moving-picture laws in many cities of the country. It first permitted moving-picture houses of 600 seats. In 1913, I resigned the cigar company, and was appointed by the governor to the New York State Industrial Board, charged with all factory legislation in the state. In 1914, after one and a half years of service, I resigned and went to Turkey, to assist Ambassador Morgenthau. I took a relief fund to Syria and Palestine in September, 1914, on board the United States armored cruiser North Carolina. In 1916, I became associated with Hallgarten and Company, bankers, New York City. Member: City Club of New York, Harmonie Club of New York, Reform Club of New York, Manufacturers' Club, Philadelphia, Harvard Club of New York.
      It should be noted that in this publication, Wertheim identified his mother as Hannah Frank, while other sources, such as his obituary in the New York Times, identified his mother as a Hannah Morgenthau. Since this entry was obviously composed by him, and on the assumption that he should have known the birth name of his mother, I have I adjusted this database. I have also not been able to identify a likely Hannah in a Morgenthau family genealogy, including a descendancy chart prepared by Henry Morgenthau III and published in "Mostly Morgenthaus." (Jan 2011).
