GEORGE E. HORNE.

	George E. Horne is manager of the George D. Horne book store at 
Greeley and is thus actively identified with commercial interests in 
his native city. He is a progressive young business man, born October 
14, 1884, and is a son of George D. and Lydia F. (Stackpole) Horne. He 
was reared and educated in Greeley. being graduated from the high 
school as a member of the class of 1905. He then entered his father's 
store, with which he has since been connected, and following the death 
of his father, which occurred on the 5th of January, 1918, he has had 
charge of the store, which is a most attractive establishment, devoted 
to the sale of books and kindred lines. In fact, he carries an enormous 
stock and enjoys a very large and gratifying patronage. He handles 
everything that can be found in city bookstores and has as fine an 
establishment as any of the kind in the city. A visit to the 
establishment is a delight to any book lover and the trade has been 
built upon the substantial foundation of enterprising methods, of close 
application, straightforward dealing and earnest desire to please his 
patrons.

	Mr. Horne was married on the 22d of August, 1911, to Miss Queenie 
Mayer Yost and to them have been born three children, namely: George 
Dana, four years of age, who was named for his grandfather; Betty Jane, 
three years of age; and Frances Grace, a little maiden of two summers.

	Mr. Horne is a member of the Knights of Pythias fraternity and 
also the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, while his political 
allegiance is given to the republican party, which finds in him a 
stalwart champion. He and his wife hold membership in the Episcopal 
church and also occupy an enviable position in social circles, while 
the hospitality of their home is greatly enjoyed by their many friends. 
Although yet a young man, Mr. Horne has already made for himself a very 
creditable position in the commercial circles of his native city and 
the course which he has followed commends him to the confidence and 
regard of all. That many of his stanchest friends are those who have 
known him from his boyhood to the present time is indicative of the 
fact that his entire life has been usefully spent and that he is worthy 
of high regard.
