ARTHUR J. PALMER

   Born August 12, 1875, at Athens, Georgia. Finishing his education in the city
public schools, his first work was with the insurance firm of Griffeth &
Charbonnier. In 1891, his father, the late Dr. H. R. Palmer, and Dr. E. R.
Kinnebrew purchased the business of Sorrells & Smith, and began operating it
under the trade name of Palmer & Kinnebrew. After a few years Dr. Palmer bought
the interest of Dr. Kinnebrew and, together with Arthur.J. Palmer and L. P.
Palmer, his two sons, formed the present firm of H. R. Palmer & Sons. Graduating
from the New York College of Pharmacy with the class of 1897, Arthur J. Palmer
was put in charge of the prescription department.

   He assisted Dr. S. C. Benedict, occupying the chair of Medical Jurisprudence
at the University of Georgia, in establishing the University School of Pharmacy,
and occupied the chair of Theoretical and Practical Pharmacy until the growth of
business of H. R. Palmer & Sons demanded his full time and attention. At this
time he was put in charge of the formula department of the firm, developing
several medicinal and toilet preparations which the firm has been manufacturing
since, some of which are very generally known outside of Georgia.

   He is at present at the head of the laboratory department of the firm, which
occupies a unique position, as they manufacture everything that they can
conveniently do with heavy laboratory apparatus, and only buy such chemicals and
Pharmaceuticals from the allied industries as it is impossible for the firm to
make. This is in addition to his duties and responsibilities in assisting in the
management of the firm's business and interests.

   He received a year's training in the manufacturing end of the business of
McKesson & Robbins, New York City, one of the most progressive manufacturing
firms in the East, being in charge of their Fulton Street Branch, laboratory
department.

   Mr. Palmer is a member of the various Masonic branches, Shriner, a Knight of
Pythias and an Elk. He is a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Athens.

   Residence address, corner Hancock Avenue and Jackson Street. Business
address, 105 Clayton Street.
