C. B. WHITE, of Seattle, General Counsel for the National Surety Co., is a 
native of Ohio and was born in 1884.  Mr. White's early educational training 
was in the Bellingham (Wash.) public schools.  Later he attended the 
University of Washington, from which he graduated in 1906 with the degree of 
Bachelor of Arts.  Then two years following he took his LL. B. degree from the 
same institution.  Following admittance to the bar he entered the offices of 
F. J. Carver.  Later he became chief law clerk in the offices of Judge J. T. 
Ronald, now on the King County superior bench, following which he served as 
Assistant Corporation Counsel.  In his profession e advanced with marked 
rapidity and in 1914 was named as General Counsel for the National Surety 
Company, of New York, one of the largest concerns of its kind in the world, 
and a most responsible position for a young lawyer to hole, as MR. White was 
only thirty years of age at the time of his appointment.  How well he looked 
after the affairs of this great corporation is indicated by the fact that he 
still holds that important office.  In argument he is usually brief, but 
covers every detail of the matter at bar, while his points of law are 
exceptionally well taken. In 1911 Mr. white married Miss Lillian Z. Fraser.  
He is a member of the College club, Inglewood Country club and the city, state 
and national bar associations.  A man of pleasing personality and a close 
student of human nature he has cultivated and retained friendships as few men 
can.
