ERNEST S. HULET

Ernest S. Hulet, superintendent of the Arizona Cooperative 
Mercantile Institution, is one of Holbrook's enterprising, 
wide-awake and practical business men and has been a real 
factor in the notable growth of the company's business at 
this place.  He was born at Snowflake, Navajo Co. on the 
20th of March 1900 and is a son of John R. and Dena (Smith) 
Hulet, the latter of whom is a daughter of Jesse N. Smith.

John R. Hulet was superintendent of the Arizona Cooperative 
Mercantile Institution from its organization at Woodruff and 
Holbrook.  Of their five children, Ernest S is the second in 
order of birth.  He attended the grade and high schools of 
Snowflake and prepared for a business career by taking the 
commercial course in the Latter Day Saints Business College 
at Salt Lake City from which he graduated in 1921.  He came 
back to Holbrook to clerk in the Arizona Cooperative Store 
and has been identified with this institution since. He was 
made manager of the Holbrook store in 1926 and so efficient 
was he in handling that business that in January 1929 he was 
made superintendent of all the company's stores.

Mr. Hulet was married to Viva Elton of Lethbridge, Alberta 
Canada on October 27. 1927.  He is a member of the Knights 
of Pythias and Benevolent Protective Order of Elks and his 
religious connection is with the Church of Jesus Christ of 
Latter Day Saints, to the faith of which he is loyal, while 
he is generous to its support. He is fond of fishing and 
hunting, the out doors appealing to him strongly.  He is 
pleasant and courteous in his relations with the trade, 
is absolutely fair in all of his dealings and enjoys 
friendly relations with all who know him.
