Giannini in the early 20th century. I can't recall the buyer but almost before the ink was dried on the deal they'd canned the BofA president and moved it to somewhere on the east coast. Giannini almost single handedly saved San Francisco's financial bacon after the 1906 earthquake when he emptied the bank's vaults and hauled everything out of town on a wagon. The bank was synonymous with San Francisco...at least in the eyes of San Franciscans. (I went to A.P. Giannini Jr. High School.)
