Bradbury Wilkinson notes used during the Revolution

Aurelio González Hermosillo Aguilar was born in 1862 in Guadalajara, the son of Miguel González Hermosillo. He was a lawyer, hacendado and financier and served as President of the Banco de Jalisco and Vice-president of the Banco de Aguascalientes (in 1912).

He was elected a diputado suplente to the XIX state legislature in November 1902^{La Voz de México, 12 November 1902} and a deputy in 1909^{La Gaceta de Guadalajara, 17 January 1909}.

In 1906 he built a large Italian style villa on the edge of Lake Chapala, designed and constructed by Angel Corsi, whom he brought from Europe. He owned the Estrella de Oro gold and silver mine in Chapala and the Hacienda de Santa Cruz del Valle, in Tlajomulco, just south of Guadalajara, that by 1818, had 6,000 hectares and produced basics such as corn, wheat and beans.

He died in Guadalajara in 1929^{El Informador, 29 January 1930}.

He signed notes dated from 1908 to 1914.

Eugène (Eugenio) Cuzin was possibly a cousin of the Gas brothers. In 1890 he was sent from Jausiers, France, to work in the La Ciudad de México department store and became one of the most important businessmen and retailers in Guadalajara.

From 1890 to 1930, through L. Gas y Companía, Eugène Cuzin participated in the Compañía Industrial de Jalisco^{The Compañía Industrial de Jalisco was a short-lived entity formed by multiple interested parties (Viuda e Hijos de Corcuera, Somellera Hermanos, Gonzalo & Modesto Ancira, Gas & Cogordan Co, Fortoul & Chapuy Co, and the Moreno Hermanos) with the express purpose of consolidating ownership of all factories related to textiles and paper in Jalisco, especially those near Guadalajara, in its hands. It represented the first attempt at industry domination of its kind in the area, and relied on capital fronted by Mexican, as well as Spanish and French, nationals.}, the Compañía Industrial de Guadalajara, the Banco de Jalisco, the Compañía de Fomento y Bienes Raíces de Guadalajara and the Compañía Petrolera La Fortune, along with other French, Spanish and Mexican partners. He was also a director of the La Experiencia, Atemajac and El Salto factories in Jalisco, and he had under his orders the Hercules factories, in Querétaro, and Santa Rosa, in Orizaba.

From 1905 he lived in a house that he had built on avenida Vallarta, which became the Consulate of France following his appointment as consul on 2 June 1911.

By 1907 Eugène Cuzin was already the head of La Ciudad de México, while Antoine Gas returned to France. Anyway, the brothers Louis and Antoine Gas, Eugène Cuzin and his nephew Henri Teissier continued as partners. In 1907 Cuzin was the vice president of the Circulo Francés{footnotes}El Regional, 24 December 1906.

In 1912 the Cuzin family moved to Los Angeles, California, for fear of the tremors that occurred in Guadalajara during that year. They lived there for three or four months, and then returned to Guadalajara. In 1913 Eugène bought a hotel on calle 16 de Septiembre to build a new store. Cuzin decided to retire to France that year, and prepared everything for his nephew Henri Teissier to succeed him in managing La Ciudad de México, together with his brother Jean Teissier.

In May 1914 the Cuzin family again left for France. With the declaration of war, on 1 August 1914, Eugène Cuzin was enrolled in the ranks of the French army, but as he was very short-sighted he did not go to the front lines, but was sent to Mexico as consul of France, with the aim of recruiting the French of Guadalajara. Eugène traveled to Guadalajara but his family stayed in Grenoble, France, with some relatives. It was not until 1916 that Eugène returned, to meet his family.

Cuzin spent two years in Mexico safeguarding the interests of his business, a time when he wrote the notebooks that make up his Diary. Eugène Cuzin returned to France and remained there from 1916 to 1917. The following year, Cuzin was still a partner of La Ciudad de México in Guadalajara.

Cuzin died on 20 June 1930 in Paris worn down by the Mexican revolution, the European war and work.

José Prieto Rivas was born in Guadalajara on 20 February 1864. He was appointed Administrador Principal del Timbre in Guadalajara in July 1896^{El Tiempo, 2 July 1896}. He held this post until December 1906 when he resigned, partly for his health and partly to devote himself to his own personal affairs. He intended just to take over the post of Interventor from Gómez y Velasco, as this was less onerous^{La Gaceta de Guadalajara, 16 December 1906}.

Less than a month later he announced that he was starting a new investment company with Manuel Aldrete Espinosa. Since both were “young, intelligent, well connected and in good condition to make a success of business” the newspaper thought they were certain to prosper^{La Gaceta de Guadalajara, 20 January 1907}.

He signed notes dated 1908 to 1914.
