  Frank Sakser (1859-1937), journalist and publisher, migration agent and banker. He moved to New York in 1892 and after his financial downfall during the Great Crisis, he returned to Ljubljana impoverished. His life carries both American fates, the story of success and the story of ruin. From 1909 on, he had premises at Cortlandt Street 82 where the seat of the weekly Glas naroda was, which he had been publishing since 1894.
