Albert Horuff has been a resident of Louisiana for fifteen years.  He
located at Monroe temporarily, but found the environment and opportunities
such as to attract him, to permanent residence.  He is one of the able
business men, bankers and one of the most active public spirited citizens
of that locality.

He is a native of Madison, Indiana, but he was reared and spent his early
youth in Indianapolis.  He acquired a good public school education and for
several years was in business at Cincinnati.  He came to Monroe in 1910.
After a year spent on the special business missions that brought him, he
decided to remain, having in the meantime recognized the great possibilities
of Monroe and Northern Louisiana's future.  His judgment in this respect has
proved to be good, since Monroe and this section in the last few years have
grown beyond all past conjecture.  This is due in part to the opening up 
of a great natural gas field, with the resultant bringing in of many large
industries, and the expansion of the city in all directions.

For several years Mr. Horuff had intimate business relations with the Central
Savings Bank and Trust Company of Monroe, and on January 1, 1923, was made
one of its officials, assigned to the duty as cashier.  In January, 1924, he
was made active vice president, and is giving his best talents and ability
to the success and growth of this splendid institution.

Mr. Horuff in 1924 was honored by being elected president of the Monroe
Rotary Club, a work in which he is greatly interested.  He is vice president
of the Monroe Chamber of Commerce, is a member of the board of directors of
the Golf Club, and public matters in general enlist his hearty co-operation.

Mr. Horuff married Miss Mabel Dell of Indiana.  They have one daughter,
Marie Dell Horuff.
