T. E. Pulliam

Flagstaff, famous in the annals of mining and adventure, is well supplied with 
modern commodities, and readily keeps pace with some of its larger and older 
sisters in the territory in the matter of general advancement and progress.  
Among the well-conducted and well-patronized enterprises which have come into 
being at the call of an ever-increasing population and consequent demand is the 
gents’ furnishing establishment managed by the firm of Pulliam & Vail.  The 
junior member of the firm, Mr. Vail, has other interests which engage the 
greater part of his attention, but T. E. Pulliam, under whose personal 
supervision the business is conducted, gives his entire time to the same.  He 
stands high in the public regard, and has held, besides his excellent 
commercial position, the political offices of recorder and supervisor of 
Coconino county.

The early training, education, and first business experience of Mr. Pulliam 
were acquired at Fort Smith, Ark., where he was born in 1861.  His departure 
from the home circle occurred in 1877, when he removed to Pueblo, Colo., 
remaining for three years, and later settling at Eureka Springs, Carroll 
county, Ark., where he resided seven years.  In 1887 he came further west and 
after a short sojourn in Los Angeles, Cal., settled permanently in Flagstaff in 
May of 1889.  For the following two years he was employed with the Arizona 
Lumber & Timber Company, and in 1900 became a member of the firm of Pulliam & 
Vail, which enterprise has experienced an era of uninterrupted success.

As a stanch (sic) member of the Democratic party Mr. Pulliam became much 
interested in the local and territorial affairs of his adopted locality, and in 
1895 was elected recorder of Coconino county, and re-elected in 1897, holding 
the office for four years.  In November of 1900 he was elected a member of the 
board of supervisors, to serve for two years, and has otherwise been identified 
with the offices within the gift of the people.  Fraternally he is a member and 
past master of the Flagstaff Lodge No. 7, F. & A. M.

The firm of Pulliam & Vail carries a full line of gents’ furnishings, including 
boots, shoes and hats, and everything is selected with an eye to satisfying the 
tastes and requirements of its numerous patrons.  The store is modern, and well 
adapted to the carrying on of the business, the commercial integrity observed 
being well understood and unfailing in its application.
